Our stay was absolutely amazing and we look forward to staying again
I got upgraded to an extremely nice unit. Everything was great and the place was big. The only thing wrong was no hot water in the kitchen sink.everything else was great. Fast elevators , decent gym and pool. The view was amazing and a little price you pay for the ocean side is balboa avenue can get noisy at rush hour. Other than that it’s a fantastic place
Upon checking in, we were a bit confused about which of the two entrances to check in at. One side is a hotel, the other are apartments. Apparently, both are rented via Expedia.
When we got to the right side, the fellow at the desk asked for our apartment number. He did not have our reservation under our name. It was difficult to find the apartment number in our Expedia correspondence, but after a few minutes we did.
The apartment we rented offered great views of the city, was VERY spacious, and exceptionally clean. The TV reception was fuzzy, but that's about the only complaint.

Overall, a cool property. Funky decor in rhe lobbies and elevators and great views. We also really appreciated the little grocery store. However, we arrived several hours early and the desk staff didn't seem to know what to do with us, nor did they offer to hold our luggage, while we went to find something to eat. The mattresses are super basic and the water heater must have a timer or something because it would stop producing hot water in the middle of people tryingvto shower after the pool.

Yoo Have to try it yourself
great location- apt is nice but rather worn- sofa old- not very comfortable- the place really lacks electric outlets-
we got there - only 1 wine glass 1/4 roll of paper towels- a few towels- not what you would expect from this sort of building
The property was large, convenient and had great views. One suggestion is to have better pillows as they were extremely soft and felt like my head sunk to the bottom.
The apartment was very spacious, clean, and comfortable. The view is amazing and it was like a home away from home. The service and check-ins from staff were great too.

Nice and beautiful apartment in Avenida Balboa.
We love and enjoyed our stay, the location and all the amenities and the one bedroom apartment is huge. Wish they have a better quality of pots and pans and microwave to match the quality and beauty of the apartment.
This was a very convenient place to stay and had a lovely view of the water. After my first night. I asked the staff to fix the blackout curtains in the bedroom as I did not notice upon checkin that the hooks at the top were not fully connected. Due to the language barrier (perhaps), that did not happen. I also had hot water that only worked in the shower half of the time. During my stay, there was an evacuation, and I was not notified. They just cut off the power to the apartment.
Getting around inside the building can be difficult, as some of the elevators and doors require badges.
You will need to bring your own bar soap, shampoo and conditioner as only a travel size is provided.
Having a washer and dryer in the unit were very convenient.
As with any location on this street, there is going to be road noise. Lots of horns, motorcycles and emergency sirens.
Ubers were always within 2 minutes of the building. A ride to the airport was $21 and change.

Was in Panama for a few days for business, along with one day down time.
I was so pleased at the property as you get a new apartment condo for better value than the large hotel chains, with an amazing view in my case.
William the rental manager handled all my queries in a very professional manner and was extremely helpful.
I liked that Balboa Boutique strip mall was a short walk away with great eating options.
This is an excellent family friendly location. English communication with property manager was very good and informative. The unit was very spacious clean and the view to the ocean was breathtaking. I would definitely recommend this location to a family of 3 or more.
The decor was amazing and exclusively unique!! The view from the balcony was superb. There was absolutely nothing that my rental lacked. I couldn't find one thing to puck about and I'm very picky about the places I choose to stay in while on vacation. Pool, dishes, washer, dryer, iron, towels, comfortable bed, smooth sheets and pillows, spacious with extra dining inside and outside. This place is well maintained. I checked out of the RIU and booked here so that tells you a lot.

Great stay
Surprising delightful, this is a condo style apartment in twin tower complex with one building that seems to be geared towards renting and the other for residents. The apartment space was large and open, wonderful balcony that was great for taking in views and having a glass of wine during sunsets. The bathroom is clean and modern with good water pressure and plenty of hot water. The furniture is comfortable and useful. The mattress slept well and plenty of cozy linens and pillows were available. The location is great with a little food market a few steps away so you can supply yourself with snacks and drinks. Taxis to the casco viejo area were inexpensive and the ride was quick. The gym was well equipped, and cooled off with ac. The pool area felt resort like and supplied towels and had a cash bar available. The only negative is that the area seems to be pricey, but that has nothing to do with the building and is just a consequence of a dollarized environment.
The YOO apartment was the BEST! Deserves an award in Hospitality. Every detail, was an excellence of service, the views outstanding, great decor and cleanliness. The building is spectacular, like a resort with 4 great restaurants, amenities and central to everything. I loved so much, I’ll be back in March.
