Studio in Coronado

Pierre Winshell

Excellent, 2 years ago

After using Airbnb for years and a lot of countries, I think this place was special to me, I felt like home. Not too big, not too small, mix of antiquity and modernity, complete to live there for a month if needed. Really thank you!

Excellent communication from Miguel before and after arrival. He organized our transport from the airport and made sure check-in was very smooth despite arriving quite late at night. The room is as advertised, in front of the pool and under 1 minute walk to the beach. Nice beach towels and plenty of utensils in the kitchen for a long stay. Internet worked well and the whole complex is very safe and only a few minutes walk to a few mini supermarkets and a couple of restaurants. Only downside was that it can get noisy. Walls are thin and since you are on level one, right by the elevators and in front of the pool, any noise from the pool area is clearly heard. Other than that we had a comfortable stay.

This studio in The Solarium at Coronado Bay is true beachfront. Mere steps from your room to toes in the sand on a wide, black and white sandy, uncrowded beach. At night you can fall sleep to the calming song of the ocean. By day you can enjoy long walks, the clean pools and social areas, as well as activities like water aerobics and exercise boot camp. Restaurants and convenience stores are within walking distance. Multiple delicious food options and supermarkets are a short cab ride or drive away. The studio is comfortable with all essentials necessary for a great stay…even a complimentary bottle of red wine. How did you know? Samantha is a knowledgeable, helpful, and resourceful host. Communication with her was great and response time was quick anytime we had questions. She even went the extra mile to introduce us to expats living in the building. Miguel, Resident Manager, met us on arrival, helped with luggage and ensured we had a smooth check-in. We appreciated that he took time to tour and orient us to the building, our studio and to common areas. He, too, was easily available and accommodating. Their hospitality and genuine helpfulness ensured our stay was both fun and restorative.

I usually spent a good amount of time searching for the perfect place, from reading all the reviews to double checking the pictures and when looking for that special spot for me to stay, It wasn't a hard decision when I was looking at this Place. The attention was amazing, they had a great welcome basket for me, and very detailed instructions, tips and tours information. The place is even better than what it looks on the pictures, it has an amazing view and the building amenities where spectacular. Out of this world I felt extremely comfortable, that I will chose this as a second home in Panama when I think about a beach accommodation rental, I stay a month as I usually travel for business, the place was very quiet, I never heard anyone in the units next to me, which was a surprise to me when I found out there where people there as I never heard them. (Did I say the view is out of this world?) you can even hear the ocean and the waves crushing at the shore. I felt truly in paradise. Washer, dryer, fridge, full kitchen, sauna, 2 pools, gym.... All you can ask and more.... I would give this place 10 stars if I Could. Highly recommended. Thanks Lynda for making me feel better than at home.

Host Response

Thank you and we hope you do come back! :-)

The apartment is comfortable, ocean front and meters from the beach. Excellently equipped (lava - dryer, refrigerator with freezer, microwave, microwave), very comfortable), very comfortable and with details (white clothes, salt, laundry soap, shampoo, safe box, etc.) designed to make you feel at home. Tammy, who serves as a host when the owner (Lynda) is not there, took care of each of our concerns promptly, efficiently and kindly. 1000% recommended

The apartment is perfect for some relaxing days, with a luxury touch, thanks to the rooftop pool (I made myself some ice tea to drink in the shade while reading), the gym (even a lazy person can enjoy a cross trainer with that view) and the location right on the beach (long beach walks before the tide comes in). I the communication with the hosts was easy and they were alert and helpful all the time. It was no problem staying one extra day, when I just didn't want to leave this place. Some fancy and pricy restaurants in the area, but I also really enjoyed the local place, 200 meters in front of the entrance! Chicken, rice and beans for less than 4 dollars!

Thank you for the feedback and glad that you enjoyed your stay here! We love eating at fonda's too, which is where you get your "home cooked value meal"! (A fonda is a small restaurant and is like visiting someone's kitchen for a meal. When an item, for example chicken, is gone they remove it from the list.)
