The Space
This modern tropical home features an open-concept design and is situated on a 5-acre finca filled with tropical trees, birds, and well-maintained grounds. Located in the hills of Caceres, it offers a peaceful retreat just 20 minutes from the bustle of Panama City, Panama.
Guests have access to the entire 2,000 square foot house and a private, unfenced pool adjacent to the back patio. The central living area is open-concept with screened metal doors that fully open to a furnished outdoor patio, outdoor kitchen, and pool. While the main living space does not have air conditioning, each of the four bedrooms is equipped with its own split AC unit.
The home includes:

The house comfortably accommodates up to nine guests on the main floor and includes a sitting area in the upstairs loft.
Location
The property is located in a typical Panamanian village just outside Panama City, at the junction of Freeways 1 and 4. It is situated in the first town beyond the Panama Canal watershed jungle area, which is preserved for water capture.
Panama is currently developing an above-ground rail metro system, expected to connect this area to the city and airport by 2026, along with a new freeway system scheduled for completion in 2025. Due to ongoing construction and common traffic congestion in Central America, avoiding rush hour is recommended.
Guests will experience authentic Latin neighborhood life, including local baseball games on weekends, occasional fireworks, and daily visits from vendors selling bread and fruit.

We came to Panama for our Son’s 15th birthday to get to know about his roots. It was an amazing trip. Sandra’s place was so cozy and homely that our son wanted to stay in the whole time 🤦🏾♀️. Sandra was so helpful. Miss it already. We are definitely coming back.

Sandra’s place was absolutely amazing. Tucked away, peaceful and private! Sandra helped coordinate a great driver and tour guide who we were able to book all of our tours and transportation needs with. We had a daily supply of fresh eggs, freshly made bread, and other surprises here and there! Sandra helped coordinate 2 dinners prepared for us at the house which were both highlights of our trip. We celebrated a 50th birthday and Sandra was so sweet coordinating a cake delivery with a bottle of wine! Rosy was an absolute angel- cleaning the house for us daily, washing laundry, and helping with whatever we needed. The yoga platform overlooks the property and is a fantastic space to practice yoga or relax in the hammocks. We were visited by hummingbirds and parrots daily. The trees, flowers and plants provide an amazing oasis. The pool was warm and refreshing. Seven ladies had plenty of space and absolutely enjoyed ourselves-thank you Sandra and Rosy!

We had such a great time at Sandra's place. Because of my work, I had to cut the trip short, butI would rather have stayed there for a few more days :)

This property truly lives up to its name. From the moment we arrived, we felt welcomed and cared for. The home is beautiful, thoughtfully designed, and incredibly comfortable. No detail was overlooked. We especially enjoyed starting each morning with fresh eggs from the chickens out back, watching our girls spend hours in the pool with the llama float, catching sunsets from the yoga platform, and sharing a special family dinner on the patio. Every experience felt meaningful and memorable. Tropical Haven gave us the perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of daily life. It allowed us to slow down, connect as a family, and embrace the beauty of Panama in such a special way. It was also a wonderful way to introduce our children to the country and culture. We are leaving with full hearts, wonderful memories, and gratitude for such a gracious host. We will absolutely be back and will be recommending Tropical Haven to friends and family.

My family of 8 (4 adults and 4 kids) had an amazing stay at Sandra’s place! The house, the pool and the entire surround were absolutely gorgeous and well cared for. You feel like you have your own slice of Panamá to enjoy with relaxing sounds of nature and plenty of areas to commune or relax. Rosy our housekeeper was so lovely and made sure we had everything we needed and we came back to a clean and welcoming home everyday after adventuring . We had the chance to meet Sandra and get some great local recommendations as well as hear about her life in Panama which was lovely! Could not recommend this place more, would happily return any time!

Absolutely AMAZING!!! Sandra’s place is breath taking. The pictures don’t do this place any justice, it’s absolutely beautiful, peaceful, literally a private resort in itself. Sandra responded quickly and always made sure we had what we needed. Rosy, the housekeeper, was such a blessing to my family. We didn’t have to worry about anything because she kept the Airbnb clean, beds made and even washed and folded our clothes daily. We used Jonny for all our transportation needs (Sandra recommended) and he did such an amazing job getting us around. On our rest day, we stayed home and enjoyed massages by Erika (also recommended). Please, don’t hesitate to book. You won’t be disappointed. Our trip was everything and so much more because of Sandra, Rosy, Jonny and we will definitely be back. She has a great setup and amazing people who really work hard to ensure guest are happy. My family and I will be raving about this trip until we return.

Absolutely my favorite Airbnb stay ever!! The property is gorgeous. Sandra and Rosy are amazing. Sandra could charge three times the current rate, and it would be justified.

Sandras home was an amazing stay. I stayed here for 4 days with my boyfriend and 4 others for my boyfriend and I’s birthday. The bnb looked just like pictures and accommodated all of us well. Rosy (the housekeeper) kept the house spotless by doing dishes, tidying up where needed, and even doing our laundry. She spoke only spanish but she was the sweetest lady we came across in Panama. Sandra’s residence was over the top for our group because not only is it a great price, the accommodations and utilities provided made for a wonderful stay. The things most bnbs do not provide that tend to be a quick annoyance was not an issue here as Sandra set up the bnb as if she was living there herself. Our last full day Sandra flew in and stayed on her spacious property and stopped in to stay hello and we got to chat with her for a while and she was lovely. Before the trip my group had issues finding the exact location of the bnb so we were a bit worried but Sandra soothed all our concerns. 10/10sta

We loved this house. It was such a perfect space to start our vacation. It was very peaceful and private. The house is beautiful and the outdoor space was amazing. Our kids loved the pool and seeing the chickens and monkey on the property. We loved that it was away from the noise and rush of the city. Sandra was an amazing host, as well as Rosy! We would definitely come back and stay again!
