Great location walking distance to pineapple Willie’s, and right on the beach. The pool is right outside the door, very convenient for anyone traveling and staying with kids. Would definitely be staying here again next time I come to Panama.

Enjoyed our stay

No view of ocean from this location (Bad thing). (GOOD THINGS): Book that Condo made our stay very easy by sending information in a timely manner and even let us check in early (2 o'clock). Check out was a breeze. We love the location and cleanliness of the unit. Everything was stocked and in working order. We particularly liked the artwork/decor in this unit. Ocean accessibility was very convenient from here. We both loved the fireworks also. Sue, Celeste, and Tammy ty for making our stay more welcoming than in the past couple years.

Great comfort and amazing location!

Great process for check-in/check-out. Loved that the door was coded preventing the need to carry a key to the beach. Kitchen was well equipped! Not an issue with our stay but the one car only allowance may be a problem for some splitting a room. Also know that parking fee is separate and 40 is a little steep in my opinion. Nonetheless we loved our stay and will book again in the future!

The floors were dirty. Housekeeping came to clean and sent a picture to their supervisor due to the floors condition. Attempted to contact office regarding matter, and was supposed to hear back from supervisor and never did.
