4BR Villa in Panama City

Giselle

Excellent, 4 months ago

Everything was exactly as shown in the photos, a very nice atmosphere, a well-kept garden with spectacular plants. We had a very nice family weekend.

Unfortunately, our stay did not meet basic expectations. The property lacked reliable running water, affecting essential needs such as hygiene and sanitation. This issue was not disclosed prior to booking. We also found the pool was not properly treated or safe to use. Due to these conditions and the uncertainty around water availability, we had to leave early and find alternative accommodations. Transparency about essential utilities is critical for guests to make informed decisions.

Host Response

Just to clarify for anyone reading this: this reservation was fully refunded and ultimately cancelled, so the guest stayed at our home without paying for the trip. The water issue mentioned was a temporary neighborhood outage that occurred late at night and resolved by the following morning. This was outside of our control and not a permanent condition of the property. The statement that the pool was “unsafe” is simply not accurate. The pool is professionally maintained and had been serviced before the stay. The photos the guest sent actually show normal pool water that was in the process of clearing as the filtration system runs. It’s also important to note that the guest arrived with more people than were originally booked and brought a dog without asking beforehand, both of which go against our house rules. Despite this, we still chose to accommodate the situation and ultimately refunded the entire stay. This is our family home and we take great pride in it. We’ve hosted many happy guests and stand by the condition of the property.

Beautiful house, amazing design and energy. Full recommended

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We had an Independence Day holidays at this property. The house is super cozy, perfect for relaxing and enjoying as a group. The master bedroom is comfortable and very well maintained, and the pool was definitely everyone's favorite spot — ideal for relaxing during the day. Everything was clean, well-equipped and the atmosphere feels very calm. Definitely a place to go back to. Highly recommended!

We absolutely loved our time at this property. The house was very large, tastefully decorated, well equipped and cozy. The gardens and pool were gorgeous and very well maintained by two dedicated gardeners. There were a multitude of different birds and butterflies attracted by the beautiful flowers and shrubs. The pool and outdoor living space was the highlight for us and we spent most of our time swimming and relaxing in this space. Finally, the owner was super friendly and always helpful. She went our of her way to make sure we had everything we needed. We will be back again next year.

We stayed at Samuel's place for 4 nights in February 2024. The property appears as it does in the photos. However, what the photos don't show is that the place is ENORMOUS!! I think I calculated that the living room/kitchen/dining room area was over 81 feet long (25 meters) from one end to the other. It's laid out very well with two bedrooms and a bathroom at each end of the house so this would be a perfect home for a group of 6 or 8 or more traveling together. The big selling point for us was the amazing pool! The private pool was the perfect temperature and an ideal place to spend a lazy afternoon (or whole day). The hosts, Samuel and Raquel were always attentive and friendly and accommodating. The location is close to the Rey Market and practically around the corner from popular Picasso's restaurant. We had a great time!

This house is just perfect. The beautiful design and energy of every space are wonderful.

I spent a few days with my family and friends in this beautiful house that we loved. The place is very well designed, as it has light and air currents throughout the house. The bathrooms are very beautiful, and in the kitchen we found everything we needed. The pool is in a very well-designed place, since whether you're barbecuing or at the table with everyone talking, you can see the pool and keep an eye on the children. The owner was always in constant communication and gave us tips on restaurants and the best part of the beach. There were pool towels and regular towels, and we also found board games and a ping-pong table that made our vacation more exciting. We will definitely be back.
