5BR Luxury Villa in Rio Hato

Gisella

Excellent, 4 weeks ago

We had a very pleasant stay as a family since this property offers many different spaces. Monica was always very friendly and willing to help with any need I had. The kitchen is very well equipped with everything you might need to prepare your food. The outside is beautiful with lots of fruit trees. It even has grapevines!!! The pool was spectacular and was cleaned early every day. This property is definitely highly recommended. Thank you, Monica, for your attention.

Thank you for your kind words, Gisella. You are always welcome with great affection 🤗

A spectacular experience from start to finish. The house is impeccable, very clean and cared for in every detail. The pool is spacious and perfect for relaxing, the Jacuzzi is spectacular, and the beach, just a short walk away, is beautiful and quiet. Monica's hospitality was excellent; she was always attentive and friendly, and even gave us a checkout courtesy until the afternoon. We are very grateful! The interior spaces are comfortable and cozy, as are the exterior spaces, which are ideal for sharing with your group. The kitchen is very well equipped, and the grills are a great bonus. Plus, it is surrounded by fruit trees and nature, which make the atmosphere even more special. The house definitely exceeded our expectations, and we will 100% be back. We were eager to use the pizza oven, but we didn't have time due to our short stay! We'll be back as a family.

Monica was great to deal with from the beginning and throughout our stay. The house was perfect for our group of up to 4 adult couples. Great outdoor seating areas, large pool and only steps from the beach. Although we didn't use many of the Playa Blanca amenities they were numerous and it was a great area for our morning walks as was the beach. The house is well stocked with plenty of glasses, plates and cutlery for a large group. Omar, the pool/property guy did a daily property clean up including the BBQ everyday except for weekends. We hired Marta, the cleaning lady to do a once a week house cleaning and linen and towel change. We were there for a month and everyone involved were thrilled with the location and the property. The Super 99 is very close and convenient for shopping. A big thanks to Monica for sharing her beautiful property with us and for being very responsive to our questions. Gracias!

Thanks to you Ray, you are always welcome!

Overall, we had a great time at this place. The yard is full of fruit trees, the pool and outside seating were lovely, and the beach was a short walk away. The only annoying thing was that there were a lot of mosquitos and caterpillars that sting outside (seems like an infestation of Grapeleaf Skeletonizer Moth caterpillars) - three of my family members got stung while using outside seating. Since we were a large group, we were also looking forward to using the dishwasher that was listed as an amenity when we booked, but when I asked the host where it was when we couldn't find it, she said there wasn't one and it quickly disappeared from the amenities in the listing... We still enjoyed our stay despite those minor annoyances and would stay here again in the future.

Gracias Nicki por tus sugerencias nos tomamos muy en serio los comentarios de nuestros huéspedes así como la limpieza y fumigación de nuestra casa que es mensual y el patrio se fumiga semanalmente. Lamentablemente en un ambiente natural y país tropical como lo es Panamá con mucha humedad y clima lluvioso casi todo el año somos muy propensos a mosquitos y otras plagas al menor descuido. El concepto del patio es abierto porque es compartido con la área comunal y no se puede cerrar. Y con respecto al lavavajillas realmente nunca hemos tenido uno así que mis disculpas por el error. Lo tomaré en cuenta.. Gracias y son bienvenidos cuando gusten.

I went to Monica’s Villa with my extended family and we all had a great time. She even granted us a complimentary early check-in which was highly appreciated, specially by the kids who got more pool time. The place looked exactly like the pictures and it has different hangouts, and we enjoyed each one of them. We definitely will come another time!! Definitely great memories ☺️

Gracias Lineth fueron unos huéspedes maravillosos y me encantaría tenerlos en otra ocasión😊

We were very well. I really like my family. The only recommendation I would make would be the change of time of filtration of the pool. Fix the Jacuzzi. Otherwise, the house is splendid

Gracias Elsa por tus recomendaciones las tomaré en cuenta; pero quiero aclarar que el motor de la piscina siempre se mantuvo funcionando con su programación automática y muy limpia. De no ser así estaba el empleado al tanto para atender cualquier solicitud. Algunas personas no entienden el funcionamiento del misma y piensan que debe funcionar ininterrumpidamente las 24 horas y eso no es posible ya que se dañaría y con los altos costos de electricidad serían sumas astronómicas en factura de luz. Sobre el jacuzzi como te dije no está dañado solo decidimos dejarlo como parte de la piscina no lo ofrecemos como jacuzzi y de hecho no lo anuncio ni lo ofrezco en Airbnb. Posiblemente en un futuro cercano decidamos activarlo como un “plus” para hacerle la experiencia más placentera a nuestros huéspedes😊. Saludos

Stayed here for five days from 1/16/25 - 1/21/25 with a group of 11 family members & friend. The accommodations were perfect with each bedroom having their own bathroom. We had a few hiccups along the way but the host (Monica) responded quickly and the issues were resolved. Monica also sent her property manager over to make sure everything was okay. The home is beautiful and the pool is clean. Very clean. The beach is close by but we went to other beaches in the area which I found to be nicer. Although the property is on a resort you don't have access to resort amenities because it is an all inclusive, however you can use there beach chairs and they will bring you drinks and food. I would recommend to rent a car if you want to visit Anton Valley because it's about a 40 minute drive from the house. Restaurants are about a 10-15 minute drive or you can eat at the resort restaurants (walkable) for a fee. Overall we had a good stay and I would recommend staying here.
