A garden bed and breakfast inside the El Valle crater

About Golden Frog Inn

The Golden Frog Inn is a bed and breakfast on Calle Las Veraneras in El Valle de Anton, inside a volcanic crater about two hours by car from Panama City. It has four room types, including a two-bedroom Family Suite, a pool, a tropical garden and Volcancito's, a restaurant with Mexican-style dishes. The nearest major airport is Tocumen (PTY).

The Golden Frog Inn sits on Calle Las Veraneras, inside the volcanic crater that holds the town of El Valle de Anton. It is a bed and breakfast with a rustic, easygoing feel: a tropical garden, a pool, a terrace where breakfast is served and a lobby with a billiards table. Four room types run from a Standard Queen with a garden terrace to a two-bedroom Family Suite.

Evenings begin with happy hour on the main terrace, where a drink and a light snack come with the sunset over the valley. Dinner is at Volcancito's, the inn's own restaurant, which gives Mexican cooking a jungle-inspired twist and leans on seasonal, sustainably farmed produce. Breakfast is a la carte and includes Panamanian staples such as hojaldres, stewed sausages and eggs.

The Deluxe King has a private balcony facing the mountains. The Deluxe Queen looks over the garden, where birds and butterflies pass through. Massages can be reserved in advance, and the team can set up local guides and tours for your days in the valley.
