Panama is completing their above ground rail metro that will connect us to the city and airport in 2026, and new freeway system in 2025. Traffic is an issue in most of Central America and working around rush hour is advisable. After leaving the city and crossing the canal you will travel for 15 minutes through the "watershed" jungle area of the canal which is left for capturing water for the canal. Our property is located in the first town past the watershed area. Renting a car is advisable, taxis and Uber are plentiful, or I can suggest a private van transfer that will pick you up and be your guide during your stay. Guest access The property is ideal for guests who want to visit Panama's attractions, but return back to a tropical oasis to swim and relax in nature away from the hectic city. Best suited for those who love nature and experiencing the typical life of Panama while enjoying bird watching, yoga, strolling around the 5 acre property with its variety of tropical plants and trees, or relaxing by the private pool (not fenced). This is a private finca in a typical Panamanian neighborhood and not a resort area so you will be able to experience life in a Latin neighborhood. On weekends, the baseball diamond above the hill has its weekly game, you will hear fireworks at times in celebration of a goal or birthday, and buy bread or fruit from the vendor that passes by the lane everyday. A new addition is a yoga/meditation platform that has amazing hilltop views. Guests also have an outdoor kitchen which features an Argentinian style charcoal barbecue among other amenities. This property is located in the first town outside of Panama City at the juncture of the Freeway 1 and 4. There is a lot of construction (2021-2025) in Panama with the rail metro and new freeways under construction. The freeway is redirected in the mornings to all lanes from our on-ramp flow toward the city and all lanes flow back this direction in the afternoons. Panama City is growing and we are dedicated, along with several of our neighbors, to keep our large properties as havens for the wildlife that is being displaced. We have several species of birds, parrots, parakeets, Tamarin monkeys, and iguanas.

Tropical Haven with Pickleball/Yoga Platform - Houses for Rent in Distrito Arraijan, Panama, Panama

WARNING! Only stay here if you want to live in paradise and be treated like literal royalty!! Sandra was extremely friendly, accommodating and helpful even weeks before we arrived. Rosy the housekeeper was so kind and sweet and even spent time showing our kids around the property and introducing them to the animals. Jonny, who Sandra also put us in touch with, was very reliable and responsive transportation and an excellent tour guide. He really went above and beyond to accommodate us and make sure we were comfortable. The house was spacious, had everything we needed, and was cleaned by Rosy almost daily. The property the house is on is UNREAL. For one full day of our trip we just explored the property and relaxed in the pool. It was a dream. We are so grateful to have spent a week in this tropical haven.

We really enjoyed our stay. Sandra communicated very well and Rosy is fantastic, she took such great care of us. The grounds are amazing, the Finka is beautiful and just like on the pictures. We had a lot of fun on the pickleball court and in the pool. Would highly recommend, it exceeded our expectations!

We had such an easy, relaxing stay and would 100% come back. The property is huge, so everyone had plenty of space to spread out and there was always something to do. Our boys lived on the pool + pickleball courts. We also had massages on the yoga platform overlooking the view, which was one of the highlights of the trip. Rosy made the experience even better. She cooked us incredible dinners, helped with our laundry, and took so much off our plate. It honestly felt like being at a boutique resort. The house itself was fantastic. It was always clean, the bedroom A/C worked perfectly, the bathrooms were excellent with great water pressure, the Wi Fi was fast and reliable. We also loved the fresh fruit picked right from the property. Such a thoughtful touch. The only thing I’d mention for future guests is that while the property isn’t actually far from the city, traffic can easily make the drive close to an hour depending we would stay here again in a heartbeat

This place is amazingly beautiful and the host was the best host I’ve had at any Airbnb locations I have stayed at, she was very accommodating and helpful.

Thanks for your great review, we loved hosting you!

Our stay was amazing. We had a group of 9. 5 adults and 4 kids for our family vacation. The stay was amazing. Sandra communicated well. All the staff were welcoming and accommodating. The kids loved the pool and loft area. They also enjoyed the basketball court and rock climbing area. The views were immaculate! The rooms were spacious. AC in each room! I would recommend for any family! Sandra even made us some bread and a passion fruit cheesecake that was AMAZing!!!

Typically, you have to be skeptical of Airbnb reviews.  Not here.  Literally every good thing that was mentioned by previous renters was true.  The home has everything you’d need and more.  Plenty of places to spend time together (pickle ball, bocce, pool) or apart (hammock on yoga platform, outdoor porches, upstairs loft).  We felt at home and comfortable from the first moment.  Rosy was so kind and helpful.  We used Jonny for transport and tours and he was friendly and knowledgeable.  Sandra was always generous with her time when I had questions, going above and beyond what I expected.  If you stay here, you will not regret it.

Truly an oasis! What a beautiful home with an amazing property. The property has so much to offer from a swimming pool, a chicken coop with fresh eggs, pickleball, basketball, a rock climbing wall to a yoga platform overlooking the property. If you enjoy cooking there is a newly remodeled kitchen inside or an outside kitchen with a charcoal gill or a cook top stove. If you don’t enjoy cooking, Rosey, the housekeeper will cooked you a huge and delicious Panamanian meal for a small additional cost. We truly enjoyed our stay and Sandra was warm and inviting. The property is gated and extremely safe. We would definitely stay here again. You won’t be disappointed!

Sandra’s place was amazing! Rosie was great! She did our laundry, made me a birthday cake and was such an amazing energy to be around. Sandra stopped by and spoke with us and it was amazing to meet her. I would reccomend this place to anyone! Don’t hesitate to book! JUST DO IT, ITS WORTH IT

We thoroughly enjoyed our week at Sandra's property. For our group of two kids and three adults, it was an absolutely perfect landing place. My daughters loved the pool, all the animals and the pickle ball court! Their grandma, who is an avid bird-watcher, was in bird heaven. So many different kinds of birds to be spotted! I was so happy doing yoga on the deck every morning, and my husband loved the outdoor kitchen. This location also provides easy access to Panama City and Gamboa to do the monkey island tour (a real highlight for our family). Finally, Sandra and Rosy were so helpful and warm. We will be back for sure!

So glad you all enjoyed your time! Thanks for being such wonderful guests!

This was probably my favorite Airbnb I have ever stayed in, it was literally perfect. The host was amazing and will 💯 stay again.

We are so glad you enjoyed your time and we look forward to your return!

Wow!! How do I start, Sandra and her crew are impeccable. Rosy was absolutely sweet as can be. The house... Perfect! The yard! You can relax and listen to nature. I recommend this stay to ANYONE!

I'm so glad you enjoyed your stay and thanks for being such wonderful guests!

Loved our stay at Sandra's place! So beautiful. We're 3 "mature" couples. Loved seeing the sights but enjoyed our retreat with true locals in evenings and "off" days. The listing exceeds expectations. Recommend using the outdoor kitchen (they'll show you how!) to keep heat out and because the indoor one doesn't fit more than 1 cook! Fresh eggs from the chickens, lots of touring, pool time in the afternoon, pickleball every evening and amazing support from both Sandra and Rosie. We couldn't ask for more; all needs were anticipated. Sandra was helpful both before and during our stay. Made the most of our time. Be sure to hire Rosie for a dinner or two! Amazing Panamanian specialties served out back for a very reasonable fee+groceries. We used her twice - her chicken dish and Ropa Vieja (beef-better than restaurant) which were amazing and mindful of 2 in our group who have sig dietary restrictions. DEFINITELY hire Jonny for airport transfers and touring. He's so attentive and reasonable $

Thank you so much for your thoughtful review. We loved having you stay and welcome you back in the future!

We had a great time at Sandra's place.  His hospitality, kindness and dedication are exemplary as well as that of Rosy and her employees. Sandra goes far beyond our expectations, she really knows how to make the experience of the stay unforgettable and that's without counting all the attention of Rosy who brings us fresh eggs as well as bread and brioches that she cooked herself.  Choosing Sandra's villa means choosing an extraordinary Airbnb experience. I recommend it without hesitation

Nous avons passé un excellent séjour chez Sandra.  Son hospitalité, sa gentillesse et son dévouement sont exemplaires ainsi que celle de Rosy et de ses employés. Sandra va bien au-delà de nos attentes, elle sait vraiment comment rendre l’experience du séjour inoubliable et c’est sans compter toutes les attentions de Rosy qui nous apporte des œufs frais ainsi que du pain et des brioches qu’elle a cuisiné elle même.  Choisir la villa de Sandra, c’est choisir une expérience Airbnb hors du commun. Je recommande sans aucune hésitation

We loved our stay at Sandra's place! It was perfect for our family of six adults & three grandchildren aged 7 months to 5 years. The property was a peaceful retreat, with a private pool, hammocks on the yoga platform, outdoor dining with a grill & oven, and lots of greenery. A favorite part was gathering fresh eggs from the hens each morning. Although the location was tricky to find, using the school address next door made it much easier. There’s a lot of construction nearby, so trips that usually take 20 minutes could take 40 or even an hour. We rented a truck and hiked in El Valle (2 hrs away), Soberanía National Park (30 mins away), and Ziplined in Gamboa (30 mins away). Essie, the housekeeper, prepared a delicious Panamanian meal on New Year's Eve (highly recommend)! On my 58th birthday, Sandra surprised me with a gift, and we spent the day at a beach resort. We swam, enjoyed drinks, and savored great food together. Sandra & Essie were generous souls who made our trip memorable!

A beautiful and serine home. The pictures do not do it justice. We stayed here as a family of 6. Would highly recommend for a peaceful stay outside of the main city. Great transport links and close to supermarkets/ shopping malls. Also fantastic hosts!

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.

The house was absolutely amazing and we enjoyed very much. Would strongly recommended!

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.

Thanks so much for your kind review and hope you visit Panama again soon!

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!

Thanks so much for your visit and Mikka is waiting at your door for your return tonight. ha! Enjoy the rest of  your trip and come back anytime!!

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.

Thanks so much for your visit and we welcome your 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.

Thank you so much for your kind review,  and it makes us so happy that you enjoyed your time with us!  You are all welcome anytime!!

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!

This place is AMAZING!!! Do Not hesitate just BOOK IT!!! My girlfriends and I had a blast celebrating my 40th and the location was perfect and serene for all the retreat vibes we were craving. There's ample space for large groups and Uber was extremely low cost to get around so we didn't need to rent a car. The security was lovely as the property is gated and has cameras. We will be returning again for sure because this was worth everything it costs and then some. Did I mention the fresh eggs and laundry being done for you?  Let me not forget to mention the personalize touches left by the host to assist with my birthday celebration. Sandra truly created a home away from home for my group and the pool and yoga platform provided the best sunrise and sunsets views all weekend. It was peaceful and the pictures Do Not do justice to the personal experience. Thank you so much Sandra for allowing us the chance to experience your beautiful home and property, Rosy is amazing too.

Thank you SO much for your kind review! It makes me so happy to know that we could be a part of your birthday celebration, and you are always welcome in the future!!

We had a lovely time at this property and the photos do not do it justice!

Thanks! Hope you return to visit more of Panama in the future!

Extraordinary stay! The place was perfect for hosting two families. In an impeccable and very relaxing setting, we would have gladly stayed longer... ;-) Sandra answered all our questions and even helped us with our on-site bookings. Rosy welcomed us with a fruit tray and pumpkin bread, in addition to doing our laundry and bringing us fresh eggs from the hen house. No hesitation in recommending this zen space!

Séjour extraordinaire ! L'endroit était parfait pour accueillir deux familles. Dans un cadre impeccable et très reposant, nous serions volontiers restés plus longtemps ... ;-) Sandra a répondu à toutes nos questions et nous a même aidés dans nos réservations sur place. Rosy nous a accueillis avec un plateau de fruits et un pain à la citrouille, en plus de faire notre lessive et de nous apporter des oeufs frais du poulailler. Aucune hésitation à recommander cet espace zen !

It was an absolute pleasure to host you all and please come back again to escape the winter!!!

Great stay! Sandra was not there but was very responsive by message but there was Rosy the housekeeper who lives on site next door Rosy was very helpful and always available. The house is cozy and as shown in the photos. The beds are very comfortable, extremely clean house. Everything was great!! The house was available before check-in time, so we were even able to drop off our bags in the morning. Very pleasant stay.

Excellent séjour ! Sandra n’était pas là mais a été très réactive par message mais il y avait Rosy la femme de ménage qui vit sur place maison à côté Rosy a été très serviable et toujours disponible. La maison est cosy et comme sur les photos. Les lits sont très confortables maison extrêmement propre . Tout était nickel !! La maison étant disponible avant l’heure du check in nous avons même pu déposer les valises dès le matin . Séjour très agréable

Thanks so much for your kind review and hope you return to Panamá in the future!

If you are coming to Panama City, Panama Sandra’s house is the perfect base camp. Close to all the local attractions. Her property is absolutely stunning. Private back yard with a pool, beautiful trees, flowers, and shrubs all tucked into a rolling landscape. We had daily supplies of eggs, plantains, and coconuts from the property. Rose, her housekeeper, was fantastic taking care of our personal laundry and making sure our linens were fresh. Mika the Husky was very friendly. She was waiting for us to wake up every morning with a warm greeting and loved being around us. If our travels ever bring us back, we would stay again in a heartbeat. You will not be disappointed renting Sandra’s property!!

Host was amazing.  This definitely an awesome place to stay especially with family.

Sandra's house was the best decision on our Panama tour. Sandra is a great host. And Rosie the housekeeper was such a nice and helpful person. The house was a bit outside of Panama City, so on the one hand you have your peace and can relax, but also quickly get to the city. The house was immaculate and sensationally beautifully decorated. The outdoor area was also quite spectacular. On our next stay in Panama, we will definitely choose Sandra's house again.

Das Haus von Sandra war die beste Entscheidung auf unserer Panamarundreise. Sandra ist ein toller Gastgeber. Und auch Rosie die Haushälterin war so ein netter und hilfsbereiter Mensch. Das Haus war etwas ausserhalb von Panamacity, so dass man einerseits seine Ruhe hat und sich erholen kann, aber auch schnell im der City ist. Das Haus war makellos und sensationell schön eingerichtet. Der Aussenbereich war ebenfalls ganz grosses Kino. Bei unserem nächsten Panamaaufenthalt werden wir definitiv wieder Sandras Haus wählen.

I'm so glad you enjoyed your stay as much as we enjoyed having you here! Look forward to your next visit.

I am not sure where to start... the whole place was wonderful, exactly as in the description. I have been to many-many places (and that is really many-many) and have stayed at many airbnb-s but this place probably in the top 3 (possibly top 1). We loved the house, loved the huge garden, loved the pool, loved Rosy taking care of us (and our laundry!!!). Not in the city, but close enough to get there quick, so if you want to be in a calm environment you are covered, if you want to have fun in the city you are covered. (You should rent a veichle if you want to move around to stay flexible, or you can use Uber or taxis). So... we will be back, and thanks everything Sandra and Rosy!

Thanks so much for your kind review and we will look forward to your return!

Without a doubt Sandra’s place saved our Panama vacation, our first Airbnb was terrible we were ready to leave after days. We searched dates and turns out Sandra’s place was available because of a last minute cancellation, let me tell you the place exceeded our expectations. The host and the on-site caretaker went above and beyond to make sure our stay was great. The grounds were perfectly kept, the house amazing, and my kids loved the pool. The place isn’t far from the hustle and bustle of Panama City, but you get peace when you arrive. The small Panderia down the road sold doughnuts my kids loved. We cook a lot of vacation the indoor and outdoor kitchens are well equipped If you see this listing don’t second guess, this place is worth it, you won’t be disappointed.

Sandra’s place is exactly as described except when you add Rosy it becomes something amazing! You will feel at home and well taken care of. Highly recommended

Thanks so much for your review, we loved having you as our guests!

Thank you Sandra for welcoming us again, the experience was as flawless as always, a clean and tidy place, cozy terrace and exceptional pool and bbq area.

We had an amazing time staying at Sandra's place. The house and the surrounding are gorgeous and the location is very private, but at the same time close to all the main attractions in the area. Sandra was extremely friendly and provided helpful tips and recommendations. The house is large and was perfect for our party of 4 adults and 4 children. We highly enjoyed the pool and the two monkey living on the property were a bonus. We would love to come back and would highly recommend Sandra's place. Thank you for having us!

Thanks for your visit! we loved hosting your family!

Sandra was a wonderful host, very helpful, extremely accommodating, and kind. She went out of her way to make us feel at home. She baked bread that was so delicious! The home was beautiful and had everything we needed. The property was quiet, peaceful, and great for bird watching and relaxing. We also enjoyed the pool. We ate every meal outside on the patio and enjoyed using the wood fire grill and propane grill. There were fresh eggs from the hens on the property, mango trees, and small oranges like mandarins that we enjoyed. It was a wonderful place to stay and we plan to return.

Thank you for your kind review! We (Lula and Mikka) look forward to your return! :)

Sandra’s place was a joy to stay at…. Sandra was very nice and knowledgeable about the surrounding area and gave good recommendations for food.  She was extremely responsive even though she had to travel back to the states, she always responded via text.  Rosy the housekeeper was amazing and the juice that she made us was probably the best I have ever had!!!  The house was perfect for 4 adults and 4 kids.  We had a fresh loaf of sweet bread and fruit plate waiting for us.  The pool was perfect and property was private and a nice little oasis in the midst of a busy area …. The traffic is no joke and the drivers have adopted a kamikaze style of driving, but if you are assertive and have a little extra time then it will work out well for ya!  I would surely return for another vacation…

Thanks for your kind review and we would love to have you come back again!

Best stay at an AirBnB ever!  Had a group of 8 adults.  Place was amazing.  Host went above me beyond in every way.  Go and enjoy the many great surprises and peacefulness this place offers.

Thanks for such a positive review! We loved hosting you and it was great to have guests that love Panama!

As other reviewers have noted, Sandra's place is really nice and the pictures are 100% accurate. It's near a very busy neighborhood but the property is pretty quiet. Sandra is probably the best host we've ever encountered, very responsive, goes over the top to assure guests feel welcome, and has her maid on site 24/7. The only issue we had with Sandra's home is that as the listing is described as a "tropical house" it means that only the bedrooms are air conditioned, not the central corridor of the house that includes the kitchen and sitting area. We had to spend a lot of our time in the bedroom. I discussed this with Sandra, she was great about it noting that this fact is in the AirBNB listing, so my bad. If you don't mind heat, you will love this house. If you want a living area away from the heat (and Panama can get pretty hot and humid), you may want to reach out to Sandra to find out what seasonal conditions are normally like in the season you plan to book.

Thanks for your kind review and I am sorry that the whole house isn't air conditioned.  Yes, Panama is a tropical climate that many love, but I understand,  it isn't for everyone. Thanks for your visit and hope you were able to enjoy a little of the country.

This place was beautiful and as-described! The pool area and grounds were amazing and so nice to come home to every afternoon. Sandra was very responsive and helpful when we needed anything, including translation! She even drove us to get pizza one night when we couldn’t get delivery. Rosy, the housekeeper, was amazing. Did our laundry, tidied up and baked us fresh bread. We also had a fresh loaf and fruit when we arrived. Sandra also arranged to have car seats in the van that picked us up. Her recommendation of Johnny’s van service was great and he and his wife were very accommodating, even on short notice. A drawback of this place is that it is very far out of town and traffic was steadily congested. There isn’t much within walking distance, and we didn’t rent a car so that part was a bit tough. Though cabs are easy to get. The pets were good to have around, though we found it difficult to manage our young children around them, due to the unpredictable nature of children and pets

Glad you enjoyed your stay in Panama and we have made an improvement in the "dog category" and they now have a comfortable fenced area around Rosey's casitia.  I wish the traffic in Panama  was as easy to fix, but I guess we will wait for the metro to be finished. Thanks again for your visit and come back when it gets too cold up there!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, and Sandra was a great hostess, always ready to inform us and help us. We felt very comfortable during our stay.

We had a great time at Sandras Place. The pool and the garden were very nice. Her place is quiet and you feel at home quickly. It's close to Panama City and a good place to make trips like Anton Valley or Pipeline Road. Sandra was a very helpful host, had a lot of recommendations and was always available. Rosy, the Housekeeper, did our laundry and brought us eggs and homemade bread. We highly recommend this place, it was wonderful und very relaxing.

We had a great time on our family Christmas trip to Panama! Sandra and Rosy made our stay comfortable and offered many recommendations which we loved. We felt right at home here and would definitely recommend this place to any friends looking to travel to Panama.

A beautiful space inside and out with plenty of room for 8 of us.  Sandra is an amazing host and made our stay very comfortable from check in to check out.  We'll be back again!

This is my second time staying at Sandra’s beautiful rental! I absolutely love this place and it’s location and o look forward to staying here again! My fave part is the pool and the Yoga area that sits atop a hill. There’s so much peach a s tranquility at this home that causes me to never want to leave. The kitchen has everything needed to cook. The outdoor grilling area is perfect and the rooms have amazing beds and soothing decor. If you stay here you will definitely not want to leave and will probably plan to come back. Lastly, Sandra and her staff are amazing and extremely helpful.

So glad you enjoyed your family time in Panama! You are the type of guests that make hosting so enjoyable :) Look forward to seeing you next year!

Sandra and Rosie were lovely. They were genuinely accommodating and hospitable. Can’t wait to return.

This place is awesome!!! it's even better than the pictures. Clean, quiet and beautiful. I will return for sure. As wonderful as this place is, the hidden gem is the owner Sandra. She is awesome!! super friendly and helpful. She is such a great person. I highly recommend you visit this place.

Thanks for your visit and kind words. You are the type of guests that make being a host so enjoyable!

One of the best Airbnbs I've ever stayed in! Rosy was the best person ever and she was so friendly. We enjoyed her so much. Sandra, we met at the end of the trip and it was good seeing a face with the host. She was very helpful and friendly. I highly recommend staying on her property if you have a large group. It was so peaceful on the property and it felt amazing. 10/10 I will definitely be coming back to Panama and staying here again.

Every single thing about this stay and the host was PERFECT. Not only is the house and property beautiful and comfortable, the host was excellent. They went above and beyond to think of everything possible a guest could need that made our stay amazing. Rosie, the onsite caregiver tidied up and was always there to help us. There was plenty of space for everyone to spread out. The outdoor area was amazing, we spent most of the time out there, the sunsets from the hammock/yoga platform are gorgeous. We loved the outdoor kitchen too. The location is close to dining and shopping and activities. We really enjoyed chatting with the host and hearing a bit about their life and story; really neat, sweet people! We hope to return to this place often! We visited 4 different locations on this trip to Panama, and the entire family voted Sandra's place their favorite. We really enjoyed our time, they have thought of everything to make guests comfortable.

Thanks so much for your kind words. You are the type of guests that make being a hosts so enjoyable!!

Sandra is by far the best Airbnb hostess I have had the pleasure of meeting.  She went above and beyond to make sure that my cousins and I had a great vacation in Panama.  Stellar communication and responsiveness.  Description was EXACTLY as we found the property.  She greeted us upon arrival as if I were visiting family!

Sandra is an amazing host, she was in touch with us before arrival she helped us with all kinds of suggestions from transport to activities. The house is beautifully decorated, clean, comfortable all around and such a welcoming atmosphere. She received us with fruits, fresh eggs and even cinnamon buns. The pets are super friendly and the kids loved visiting the monkey in the afternoons. Her housekeeper was so nice and she would do our laundry and tidy up during the day.  It was such a treat to go sightseeing in the morning and enjoying the pool in the afternoons, it was the best experience we’ve had on an Airbnb. I would without a doubt book this property  again. Is a definite 10/10.

Sandra was extremely friendly, and helpful... Also, having the Caretaker and the Gardener living on the estate was so convenient, and gave us a comfortable, secure feeling. The unit was spacious, had all the amenities, including the POOL. Simply terrific!!!

Book this place! It’s the perfect amount away from the city, but still close enough to go site seeing, it truly is an oasis. Sandra was so communicative and friendly, she even showed us the 2 monkeys she owns and my toddler was so in love with Shakira. Fresh farm eggs everyday, the bed and linens were so soft and comfortable. The house is designed beautifully and everything was so pristine and clean when we got there, and they even freshened up the rooms while we went site seeing during the day and it made it feel fabulous coming home! The outdoor kitchen was so nice to have meals at after dipping into the refreshing pool. The property has so many nooks and crevices to just relax and unwind after a day of site seeing. My favorite AirBNB and host!

Property is great but Sandra, Danielle & Rosie made it spectacular! Sandra went above & beyond ensuring we had everything we needed. She's extremely responsive. Danielle made homemade banana bread that was amazing! Rosie is the sweetest! She kept our clothes clean as well as the house every day. Photos in the listing are spot on! Comfy beds, good internet, beautiful grounds, inviting pool. I'd 100% recommend staying here. Wish we could have stayed longer! For those new to Panama, I have some helpful tips: Know some basic Spanish; Use Jonny (JD Transport) for airport transfers; Rent a car from Contigo in Arraijan (4 dr sedan cost us <$250 for the week); Leave the house no earlier than 9am to avoid traffic; Tono's Coffee & Bakery-great coffee & pastries; Cabrera Coffee Brew House in La Chorerra Costa Verde has the best french toast (tostada francesa);Favorite grocery stores-Super Carnes (like Walmart) & Riba Smith (like Publix); El Valle-Cerro La Silla hike-beautiful! Go to Casco Viejo!

We had an incredible time staying at Sandra's airbnb! She was very communicative before and during our visit. She offered local recommendations, all of which were fabulous, and also was able to organize drivers for airport pick up/drop off. The house itself was great! Every bedroom had air conditioning which is definitely essential in Panama! Rosy, the housekeeper, was extremely friendly and welcoming. The dogs on the property were so cute, friendly, and well behaved! We had everything we needed at the airbnb and felt right at home as soon as we arrived. The location is away from the city and very peaceful and quiet! I have never felt more welcomed and supported at an airbnb, and I highly recommend staying with Sandra!

We stayed for 4 days, the place was just as described, beautiful!!!  We have family in Panama and they came to visit and everyone loved the place, Sandra was a great host and responded well to all my questions. Rosita the house keeper cooked for us .. and her food was amazing.  Mika the dog was beautiful and she kept us company the entire trip. I would recommend this place if you want to spend time with your family and want somewhere to relax. The rooms were clean and neat and me and my family were able to sleep very well through each night. We will definitely come back!!

We (4 adults + 3 kids of 6/3/1 yr old) had an amazing time staying at this beautiful place! Our expectations were high after all the great pictures and reviews but they were even exceeded. The kids loved swimming, exploring the grounds, and hanging out with all the animals… and the adults loved the beautifully designed house, the full outside kitchen, the hammocks and the yoga platform with the amazing view. Sandra and Rosy really made us feel at home, plus - what a luxury to have Rosy clean up our place and do our laundry! It’s a normally only 20-30 mins drive to downtown” (just avoid rush hour - like we also would at home…), and similar to Gamboa/Miraflores , plus there are plenty of shops and restaurants on ~10 mins. Yet it feels like a different world, away from all the hustle and bustle in the city. We ended up venturing out in the mornings and spending late afternoons and evenings around the house; and after 9 days we still felt we had had way too little time here!

Thanks so much for your kind words! You are exactly the type of guests that make being a host so enjoyable!

Tropical Haven was a tropical paradise.  To see it in person was better than the photos. The property is away from the tourist areas in a place where you can eat fresh fruit, listen to the birds and the breeze and cook yourself breakfast with fresh eggs from the chickens who live there.  But make no mistake, this isn't some dusty farm. It is a resort you don't have to share with other guests.  Where the housekeeper will wash your laundry.  Where the linens are soft and the pool towels never run low.  This is a place to come to and drift away the heat of the day in the pool.  Somewhere you will never want to turn on an electronic screen (unless it is your phone camera to catch an awesome sunset from the yoga platform or the smile on your loved one's face when they fall asleep in one of the hammocks).

Thanks for your kind words, and we loved having you visit!

The Tropical Haven is perfectly described as it really was a tropical haven. I stayed with my family of 7 for 3 days, lounging at the pool or relaxing in the hammocks. The haven is a bit far from Panama City so leave time to get into the city (this is our only flaw, but if you are looking to relax at the home only or willing to sit in traffic, then it is fine). Sandra recommends an excellent driver who got us where we needed to go on time and at a reasonable price. In our opinion, the space looked even nicer than in the photos. Sandra’s housekeeper was the sweetest, did our laundry and tidied up the home while we were out. Sandra gave great recommendations, was super responsive to questions, and a friendly host. We would stay at this place again in a heartbeat if we ever return to Panama.

Thanks so much for your visit, and hope we have the opportunity to host you all again! Traffic should be better next time with the additional lanes opening up on the new highway and the metro train! Progress!!

We've had several experiences renting through Airbnb, and Sandra is by far the most gracious and responsive host with whom we've interacted.  For example, the ceiling fan in one of the bedrooms was broken, and Sandra had it replaced the very next day.  Also, since we weren't renting a car, it was essential that we have reliable transportation during the week.  Her recommendations in that regard were spot on.  We highly recommend Celso (Toucan Express)!  As shown in the pictures, the house and grounds are beautiful and well-kept.  So much thought has gone in to the decor and furnishings, both inside and out.  We enjoyed many hours on the back porch and pool deck, morning, afternoon and evening.  Rosy, the housekeeper, was so attentive and kind, and she felt like family by the end of the week.  In sum, we could not have asked for a better place to stay in our first visit to Panama.

Thank you so much for your visit.  You are the type of guest that makes hosting so enjoyable!

I had a memorable stay at Sandra’s with my aunt & her friends! Everything was so well kept & maintained! The house keeper was the sweetest, and was so hands on with any toilet issues we had. I honestly wish we could’ve stayed longer!! Everything is so beautiful about this house! If you are going to stay here, please plan on enjoying the house amenities for at least two days! You will not regret it! Thank you for having us Sandra!

Thanks for your nice response,  we loved having you visit!

Sandra's place is a magical, enchanting, peaceful, fantastic home away from home. It was so lovely I wished I could stay. The design and layout were modern yet understated. Having lived in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, the constant breeze wafting through the open-screen door design was heavenly. Awaking to the sounds of birds chirping and the breeze rustling through the banana and palm trees took me back to my cherished childhood. It is a tropical paradise minus the bugs. I have been bitten in every country I have visited, BUT NOT in Panama. Rosy, the housekeeper, is a wonderful and sweet lady. She is very attentive but unobtrusive. She washed clothes, cleaned the house, and even once prepared a meal for us when we ran late. The yoga studio and hammocks were dreamy and helped me to unwind from my busy life. I had a medical emergency around midnight on the last day of our stay, and Sandra was immediately responsive and recommended John Hopkins Hospital. It saved my life! There is more...

Sandra's place was nothing short of incredible!! The pool, the grounds, the animals (Mikka!!), the living space. We loved it all! Everything was is in place to give us the best stay possible. Between walking the grounds in the morning to enjoying the swimming pool during the hot times of the day, Sandra's place was one of the highlights of our trip. So much to see and do - thank you again for being an amazing host!

We had a great stay at this house. It was extremely clean and everyone was very helpful. Sandra is very responsive and and easy wonderful to work with. Rosie was great and helped us out with everything we needed. All of the animals on the property were great and our kids loved seeing them every day. We loved the outdoor space and spent a lot of time out there. Overall we loved our stay and will definitely be back!

The house is perfect and exactly as pictured. Communication with Sandra and Rosy was super fast and very proactive! We loved the space. Thank you for everything!

La casa es perfecta y exactamente como en las fotos. La comunicación con Sandra y Rosy fue super rapida y muy proactiva! Nos encantamos con el espacio. Gracias por todo!

The place was amazing!! Clean peaceful. Rosy the housekeeper was amazing with us and Sandra check on us to see if everything was ok… I definitely recommend this place to anybody … definitely coming back next year! Thank you for everything Sandra !

Beautiful area! Very peaceful and everyone was so helpful. Comfy beds!

Sandra’s property is beautiful! We truly felt welcomed, comfortable, and safe. We had a group of five in the house and there was plenty of room. We thoroughly enjoyed the outdoor kitchen area and made good use of it, the pool, and the yoga platform on the hill. I really can’t say enough about our stay or this property. Sandra was super helpful in assisting us with organizing transportation. I highly recommend staying here. You will not regret it and you will not want to leave.

We went as a family and loved the house and the beautiful backyard, with a beautiful view, to rest in the hammocks or enjoy the pool. The house is spacious and well laid out with everything you need to feel at home.

Fuimos en familia y nos encantó la casa y el hermoso patio trasero, con una vista hermosa, para descansar en las hamacas o bien disfrutar de la piscina. La casa amplia y bien distribuida con todo lo que necesitas para sentirte en casa.

Our party of 6…3 adults and 3 teenagers so enjoyed our stay at Sandra’s lovely home. The house is beautiful, well appointed, and spacious. Beds were very comfortable. All the animals were friendly and well behaved.  Rosie is amazing!  We took advantage of having dinner prepared for us and it was delicious. Sandra is a fantastic host…accommodating, informative, friendly…she went above and beyond to make our first trip to Panama memorable. Highly recommend!! The home is about 30 minutes outside of Panama City. Perfect location to visit the city, the Panama Canal, National rainforest, and the beach. Shopping, dining, etc are close by as well.

We had a great stay!  The grounds are beautiful and the house is very welcoming with a fully stocked kitchen to get your days started. We used the grill at night too and enjoyed sitting by the pool playing with the pets. Love Minnie the cat.❤️

Gorgeous property with very attentive staff and loving dogs and a cat.  Super comfy, great communication and a nice tropical feel away from the city. If you want a place to lounge and enjoy a pool, you gotta book here.

Wonderful and beautiful place to stay!  Poncho and Shakira are so cute!

The house makes us feel like at home: very well equiped, very clean and comfortable in a great garden with plenty of birds and a nice swimming-pool. Sandra is a super super host! We had great times in this beautiful house

Las colinas de Araijan is a beautiful airbnb, close to Panama City, making everything in the area very accessible and in a very quiet area. It is a beautifully maintained house with a beautiful garden and beautiful swimming pool. Sandra and Esindra make the stay so pleasant! Beds made every day, so occasionally a smoothy or a juice and even homemade bread when we arrived in the evening and she saw us, white Panamanian bread! "wait a minute,  20 minutes..." and then Sandra came in with a still steaming,  healthy brown bread! So lovely! Really the title of superhost more than worth it!

Las colinas de Araijan is een prachtige airbnb, dicht bij Panama Stad, waardoor alles in de omgeving heel bereikbaar is en wel in een hele rustige omgeving. Het is een prachtig verzorgd huis met een mooie tuin en heerlijk zwembad. Sandra en Esindra maken het verblijf zo fijn! Elke dag opgemaakte bedden, zo af toe een smoothy of een sapje en zelfs zelfgebakken brood toen we 's avonds aankwamen en ze ons, witte Panamese brood zag! ' wacht even,  20 minuten...' en toen kwam Sandra met een nog dampend,  gezond bruin brood aan! Zo aardig! Echt de titel superhost meer dan waard!

Our family trip to Sandra’s Tropical Haven was one of the most spectacular experiences we’ve had. The pictures don’t do justice to the lush, sprawling property set in the hills with gorgeous views and sunsets, every variety of tropical fruit on the property, and parrots and hummingbirds regularly visiting the flowers beautifully landscaped around the home while you lounge in the many hammocks in the front and back of the home, and on the Yoga platform. Sandra’s friendly dogs and cat who would visit us on the porch added to the warmth and homey feel. Our children loved visiting the monkeys. The pool was awesome, and our family spent hours swimming and hanging out by the pool. The rooms and beds were very comfortable, the kitchen well-equipped, and the décor well-appointed. The location is perfect for exploring all the amazing sites to the West and is only a short drive to the Canal, the rainforest activities, and Panama City and all its rich offerings to the East. We received fresh eggs from the chickens daily and Sandra’s staff were all so wonderful. Sandra was the perfect host and went above and beyond in communication, in helping us navigate Panama, in helping plan our activities, and much more. Our family has memories that will last a lifetime from this trip, and Sandra’s home and hospitality were the focal point. We can’t wait to come back – thank you!

Hi Sandra, Once again, we've had an amazing time at your beautiful haven. This was our second stay, and although we only live 20 minutes away, we will keep coming back! What you've created is beyond beautiful. The perfect staycation for when family visits. With beautiful decor, grounds, and thoughtfulness for what is needed to have everything you need right there at hand. We'll be back, many times over, and we'll introduce more and more people to this treasure we've found. Thank you for having us. Take care, Monique, Richard and the Fam.

Great hospitality and staff to make you feel at home. It was great staying there, very relaxing and enjoyable.

This is a beautiful property. Sandra curated an experience with this property not just an airbnb. Esi the sweet lady who takes care of the home is super attentive and helpful, and very helpful. We enjoyed the lush green property, the beautiful patio and wonderful rooms. Home is equipped with all you need, and a lot of detail is put into making it a cozy space. I highly recommend this place. Thanks again Sandra

This is one of the most wonderful places I have ever stayed. My children and friends loved the private pool, so many birds the lovely 2 dogs Mikka and Lula who live on the property.   The host goes beyond what you would expect from fresh eggs in the refrigerator many condiments, coffee tea.  We only had to bring the groceries we wanted.  The housekeeper even came and did our laundry  and returned it folded when we return that day.  The many hammocks were enjoyed and the yoga platform was a peaceful place to enjoy my coffee in the morning.   The host is very responsive and couldn't have been a nicer person to meet.   We would highly recommend this airbnb to anybody visiting Panama it's  outside of the city  But so worth the drive and you look forward to getting back each day.

We had a wonderful stay at the Tropical Haven! The property is beautiful and lush! The pool and Yoga platform is great for relaxing and to view the sunsets. The house was great and well appointed. AC worked great for the hot evenings. Esi the maid was amazing. She would do laundry and bring us fresh eggs and juice. Celso was great also for transfers! Sandra is very responsive and answered all questions quickly and gave us many recommendations.  If your looking for somewhere to stay close to the city but also a tropical oasis.... this is your place.

The property is gorgeous, huge and well maintained. the host is friendly and does a great job of making you feel at home. If your a nature lover this place is a plus. A must stay in 🇵🇦.

Love the property! Awsome Absolutely awesome. It's exactly as advertised and more. Very comfortable, reflective place and your experience will deepen the longer you're there..

We had a great time at Sandra's place. Very clean and has everything you need. The place looks exactly like it does on the pictures. Sandra was also very friendly and helpful since the beginning, available at all times whenever we had any questions. Would absolutely recommend to stay there!

I can say now....if you have been looking for properties you can stop now. This is the best airbnb I have ever booked. I mean Sandra is efficient with texts about things to do... she provided a Van for us to get around town local places to find cakes... they have 2 little dogs that are to most adorable... they Never ever tried to come indoors. but they checked on us throughout the day. we had a chance to relax and enjoy the sun the hammocks are awesome....(take a nap) the monkeys were amazing and just everything was Superb!

Sandra was an amazing host. We had great communication and her local recommendations were appreciated. The home was beautiful, impeccably clean and had everything we could have needed. It’s such an amazing property - our kids loved it as much as we did. The location was perfect for staying home to relax in the pool or take day trips around the area. We would 100% stay here again.

Great place and wonderful host - friendly host and staff - nice layout - beautiful property and a nice pool to boot! you will not be disappointed I would definitely stay here again

Tropical Haven is a perfect description of this property! The house, the grounds and the service all invoke the feeling that you are in your own personal tropical paradise without a care in the world. Perfect for a family getaway. Sandra and her staff were kind and attentive. We highly recommend staying here!

Great place to spend time with family and friends. Sandra is a super host, always taking care of all our needs! Certainly a place to return!! A very well appointed house with everything You May need for a comfortable stay.

This home was more than I expected. The host and her staff were lovely. The home was spectacular. The showers were my favorite part. More than enough bathrooms throughout the house. The supermarket was less than a 5-8 min car ride. The grill outside added a nice touch to the home. The pool seemed to be in the perfect spot as the sun would sit on it all day. The beds in the home were the perfect place to end each night. I could go on but I would belabor the point that there’s just nothing wrong with this house and everything great about it! Thank you Sandra and Angelica for making my stay so amazing.

A beautiful property in a great location! This will be our new “go to” place for future visits to see family outside of Panama City. Thanks for everything!

Tropical Haven is truly a paradise! We can’t say enough about how helpful, communicative, and welcoming Sandra and her staff were. This luxurious house is exceptionally appointed. Everything was clean, comfortable and beautifully decorated. We were welcomed with fresh fruit and banana bread. The home also offers filtered water. The grounds are gorgeous. Even though the owner’s home is near, we felt in our own private retreat! The yoga platform offered great sunset views and was probably my favorite feature! We utilized Sandra’s driver, Celso, for airport transfers and to take us into the city for dinner. He was readily available for us and always very friendly! Thank you again for everything, Brianna & Jordan

My family and I (8 people) really did enjoy Sandra’s Tropical Haven.  It didn’t matter that she was out of town. Sandra made sure way in advance that we had all we needed for our stay.  She even had a Christmas tree put up so that I can set my children’s gifts underneath it on Christmas Day.  Loved that! The kitchen is well stocked, and there is plenty of space for all to stretch out and do their own thing.  My husbands and I mostly spent time in the pool area.  We truly enjoyed the peacefulness and tranquility of that area of the property.  The housekeeper is wonderful.  We just adored her.  She worked very hard to make sure we had everything we needed. I reached out to her specifically as the host, Sandra was out of town.  She’s also a great cook of Panamanian dishes.  We loved her coconut rice.  Celso the driver is also very kind & attentive.  The few times we hired his services not only was he very early, he had recommendations and even waited for us .  I will say he is not cheap but considering we were a large group it sorta averaged out.  We also found out that taxis do drive up and down the hill and just for a few bucks.  Uber is also available but rarely.  Our requests were cancelled a few times. Nonetheless, I would  recommend this home to anyone.  It’s away from the hustle and bustle of the city so peace and quiet is what you will find in this Tropical Haven.  Enjoy!

We had an amazing long weekend. The house is beautiful and so comfortable. Nothing was too much trouble for our hosts and we were well looked after.

This was just such an easy and memorable visit. You and Eric have done an amazing group hosting and building an amazing sanctuary, and your team couldn't have more perfect!! From the moment you click 'book/reserve' - not the moment you land in Panama - you are in good hands are guaranteed to be spoiled rotten. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED! Spoiled by Celso. Spoiled by Essi. Spoiled by Meka. Spoiled by the habitat, the climate, the views, the serenity. You MUST experience this place for yourself. Thanks for the grace in which you accommodated us, the patience, the warmth, the hospitality and willingness to share and open your place to the world. The world needs more havens like yours. Blessings, peace, and prosperity to each of you.

Thanks for your kind words! The whole staff loved hosting you all and look forward to your visit in the future!

Sandra is a super host!!! She was on the lookout the entire time, welcomed us, and always kept in touch from the reservation. 😎

Sandra es una súper anfitriona!!! Estuvo pendiente todo el tiempo, nos dio la bienvenida y siempre se mantuvo en contacto desde la reserva. 😎
