My husband and I rented this place for our honeymoon and it was great! Such beautiful views of the ocean and even though it was colder in Panama when we went and didn’t get to swim in the pool or anything it still looked nice and we plan to come down again during summer! I would definitely recommend this condo!

This is a precious condo with an amazing view! The condo was clean and well maintained. We spent most of our time out in the gulf or on the beach. The beach chairs and umbrella set up that is included in the rental (seasonally) was an amazing perk -- making it so much more comfortable to hang out on the beach longer. The common deck areas were also very nice. Going during the week and after schools were back in session made for a less crowded experience. We could not have asked for better weather and great place to stay.The view is spectacular, but you don't have a personal balcony. The kitchen is small, but we wanted to eat local seafood most days. We only needed it for easy meals. Neither of these were deal breakers for us.

This beach condo is amazing. Great location, very clean, no dampness at all, and plenty of amenities. Having two chairs and an umbrella came in very handy since we flew in from the west coast. We loved the gameroom. Pool looked nice and clean and there were plenty of places to sit and take in the beautiful view all over the property. Communication was top notch. Beach was super clean and there were plenty of places to eat within walking distance (under a mile). We would not hesitate to stay here again! Thank you again for a wonderful stay!

The unit was nice, but it doesn't provide any tea, coffee or creamer at all, no salt and pepper, no beach towels. The only dish cloth was faded and very ratty. Just come really prepared. The toiletries were nice. Kirsti responds to texts promptly.

We had a wonderful stay. The condo was adorable and had everything we needed. I especially enjoyed the large walk in closet for changing and putting clothes away! The temperature was always nice- no struggling AC unit here!! The beds were comfortable, the sheets were clean and smelled great. My ONLY complaint was the shower water pressure. It was almost not doable to shower in. Regardless of that, we would definitely stay again and recommend to friends.
