5BR Villa in Rio Hato

Maytee

Excellent, 3 weeks ago

Don’t think too long about booking this stunning villa! One of the best experiences we’ve had (and we have traveled the world using Airbnb’s). Villa was fully stocked and comfortable for our annual family get together of 5 adults and 4 kids. The community is peaceful and has restaurants, pools multiple club houses. We were able to rent a Mota/ATV to get around the community whenever we needed to go out of the house. The local employees at Buenaventura can get you situated with one of those Olga was able to arrange a private chef for us for the duration of our stay and Anita was pivotal in to bringing our trip to the next level. USA summer time is Panamas “rainy season” but we had mostly clear skies during our stay and only two nights of rain.

Host Response

Thank you for choosing our villa and for the glowing feedback—it means a lot to know you and your family felt right at home. I’m glad Olga and Anita could add those special touches and that you enjoyed the community’s amenities and our little corner of Panama. We’d love to welcome you back anytime!

We had a wonderful stay at this house in Buenaventura. The property was very spacious and comfortably accommodated our group of 10 without ever feeling crowded. The kitchen was exceptionally well equipped, making it easy for us to prepare meals and enjoy time together. We experienced an issue with the pool during our stay, but it was completely outside of the host's control. Olga was extremely responsive and immediately worked to resolve the situation. She stayed in constant communication with us throughout the process and did everything she could to address the issue as quickly as possible. Overall, we had a great experience and truly appreciated Olga's attentiveness and commitment to ensuring we had an enjoyable stay. We would happily recommend this property to others visiting Buenaventura and we will definitely come back as well.

Our stay at Olga and Phillip’s home in Buenaventura was truly one of the most enriching experiences our family has ever had. From the moment we arrived, everything felt easy, comfortable, and thoughtfully prepared. The home has absolutely everything needed to relax, connect, and simply enjoy being together. What stood out the most was how this space naturally brought us closer as a family. With so much room to spread out and come together, it created the perfect balance of privacy and connection. The pool was an absolute highlight, filled with laughter, fun, and moments that will stay with us forever. And the massage table was such a special touch. It added a whole new level of relaxation that we didn’t even know we needed. There is something truly special about this home. It is not just beautiful and well equipped, it creates an experience. It gave us the space to slow down, be present, and bond in a way that felt effortless. Thanks so much. Book this place, you will love it!

We have a great stay. Villa is well maintained. Best place is pool area and guest house. Easy communication with co-host Olga. Appliances are all top notch and the kitchen is very well equipped.

We stayed at the Villa de Los Portales in Buenaventura, Panama for 10 days to spend Christmas with the family. Request an early check-in the day before. When we arrived at 11:00 am we couldn't get in because they hadn't sent the check-in QR code. This inconvenience lasted more than 1 hour. They gave us a refund for the bad time, the detail is appreciated. The Villa is very well equipped, it is spacious and comfortable for a large family, the social area of the pool is very spacious and comfortable, I loved the area of Los Portales, it is very quiet and peaceful with lots of vegetation and fauna. Although there are some details to correct in the house, everything is very well maintained. Unfortunately, the refrigerator was damaged the day after our arrival and we had to take everything to the refrigerator in the pool house. Olga responded quickly by sending a technician who could not repair it immediately, so she moved the small refrigerator to the kitchen. Grateful for the service, they are very helpful.
