Melissa

Casa Bonita was a wonderful home base for our week in Panama. We traveled as a large family group celebrating a milestone birthday, and the space handled us beautifully — plenty of room to spread out, comfortable bedrooms, balconies to enjoy in the morning, and a kitchen that made group meals easy. The staff deserve a special mention. They were warm, attentive, and genuinely made our stay better. Communication throughout was smooth and everything was ready for us when we arrived. If you're traveling with a big group and want somewhere that feels like a home rather than a hotel, this is it. Thank you for having us — we made great memories here!

Our family of five had a super lovely and comfortable stay here! Melissa and her team were wonderfully proactive and responsive as hosts and did a great job of making us feel right at home! We wished we could have stayed longer and can't wait to come back again soon in the near future! Overall a magnificent visit!

Stay here! its out of the city... peaceful, safe!! you can have peace when you want and go into the city to shop and party. you will love it

We had a wonderful stay at PH Casa Bonita! The property was beautiful, clean, and exactly as described. The views were absolutely stunning, and we loved being so close to Playa Bonita while still having easy access to Panama City. The condo was spacious and comfortable for our girls’ trip, and the amenities made it easy to relax and enjoy our time together. The hosts were responsive, helpful, and provided great information before our arrival, which made the entire experience smooth and stress-free. The location was perfect for enjoying both the beach and the city. We especially appreciated the peaceful atmosphere, beautiful pools, and the sense of security throughout the property. We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Panama City who wants a relaxing resort-style experience with gorgeous views and convenient access to everything Panama has to offer.

Melisa and her team , were Great , it was so refreshing, the complex and amenities were top shelf, and as for the 23rd floor apartment, very spacious clean , welcoming and we felt at home … as for the Vistas absolutely breathtaking… looking fwd to visiting again … our whole family enjoyed… Thank you Melisa n Stacey … Blessings

They were very attentive and answered any message that we sent in a timely manner. The penthouse was gorgeous and we highly recommend staying for a quite stay.

Very beautiful building and place to stay. Had everything we needed. Host was very responsive and helpful through the whole process.

Friendly and welcoming owners, awesome view, overall a great stay.

The host and her team were outstanding. They always responded promptly and made our visit special. Special kudos to Stacey for all of her assistance. The amenities were outstanding and I’m already looking forward to our next visit.

Our family of 5 (2 teenagers and grandma) felt right at home from the minute we walked in! Leading up to the trip, Melissa ensured we had all of the relevant information we needed and went above and beyond by providing suggestions for activities while in Panama including contacts and links! Melissa was very responsive and the place was very spacious. We loved the private beach and although it was a bit rocky, there’s a good amount of sandy beach to enjoy. We loved the pearl club next door that included the use of their swimming pool, spa and really nice gym! We also enjoyed having access to the Westin that included the use of Pickleball courts and great restaurants. The apartment was lacking a few basic cooking supplies and did not have a good coffee machine, but otherwise, we would highly recommend Melissa‘s place!

The condo was beautiful and the view was perfect. Melissa and her team were very responsive and even let us check in early since we were already in the country. Highly recommend staying here.

Beautiful views at Casa Bonita and the host was super helpful with everything!

My stay was great! The photos were accurate, the place was clean, and everything matched the description. The front desk staff was also very helpful throughout my stay. I would definitely recommend this place and would stay again.

What a wonderful stay! Melissa, Stacy and team made everything super easy and crystal clear. The place is beautifully located with the beach alongside and Westin amenities easy to access. Loved it and recommend!

You won’t find a better or more responsive host, a more beautiful apartment, or a more perfect place to stay to enjoy Panamá City then Casa Bonita. Would give six stars if we could. We were a party of 8 (4 adults and 4 kids aged 6-12) and it more than accommodated us all.

Casa Bonita was a home away from home. It was so spacious, more than enough space for our family of 5. The kids had their own wing, lol! The view from the balcony is amazing. Watched the sunrise every day from it. Kitchen is well stocked and has lots of room to work. When we mentioned needing scissors, they were provided almost instantly! Loved being able to do laundry right in the suite. The rooftop pool is warm and clean with lots of loungers, tables and chairs. It was never busy. The ocean beach had an endless supply of seashells, and so pretty. The water is sometimes very low tide, so you can’t always go in the water, but on other days it was higher. So cool to see the boats waiting to go through the Panama Canal. I would definitely recommend Casa Bonita. We did end up using the Pearl Club. The food at the restaurant was really good there. It cost us $107 for our family for a week. You will need a car or Uber to get around as it is not walkable to any nearby towns or cities.

I enjoyed our stay! Melissa was very easy to reach and quickly answered any questions we had. The place was beautiful and I really enjoyed the view! They also were sweet enough to leave a welcome package for my birthday!

We had a great time staying at this beautiful luxurious condo!

Great apartment with modern decor and incredible views of the entrance to the Panama Canal. A great host team, always available and always trying, they also organized our airport transfers perfectly. Beautiful complex with the extra possibility to use the Pearl Club, or the restaurants of the neighboring hotel with great buffets, etc. We felt very comfortable and would definitely want to vacation there again. Full recommendation!!!

Our stay was great, I would definitely recommend staying here. It’s very safe.

This was my first time visiting Panama. I will definitely be back. The group of host were amazing!. This is by far one the most beautiful homes I've stayed in. This penthouse is immaculate. The views were amazing. The amount of information that was given for Panama overall was great. The scan code for things to do, restaurants, house information, etc... was a big help. I can go on, on about the total experience of my stay at the penthouse and Panama in general. If you have a group of friends or just want to spoil yourself I recommend staying at Casa Bonita with Melissa. Thank you for everything.

This was the best Airbnb I’ve had in awhile. They recommendations were great, everyone (hosts) did their part, and the location alone is beautiful and worth it. Don’t think twice about it, book with Melissa and her team.

Very good place

The location was away from the city's hustle and bustle but a quick and inexpensive Uber drive away. The apartment was very clean and check in and check out was very easy. We were able to access the pool and restaurants at Westin Playa Bonita. The whole experience was excellent. I definitely recommend this place. 10/10.

This vacation condo was an outstanding location for our family - a home away from home for 9 days. It was a great location where we had beach & pool access, multiple restaurants at the adjacent hotel resort, as well as close proximity to activities and restaurants in Panama City. We also had a major grocery store nearby - just 6 minutes drive away. We loved Panama and will be back! We highly recommend this Airbnb option!

My friends and I enjoyed our stay at Melissa place, looks just like pictures, very clean, host is very responsive. I recommend if you’re visiting Panama you should stay here. 10/10!

This place was nothing short of amazing, from the time we walked in we were in awww. Host was very easy to get a hold of every time we needed her! The place was def up to par with full amenities. I will definitely stay here again when visiting Panama!!

Melissa's place is exceptional. The views are just stunning and we would catch ourselves staring out the windows frequently when in the apartment. And the balcony is a great place to watch ships entering and leaving the canal. The rooftop pool was exceptional and we loved spending lots of time there - it was never crowded!! The location is peaceful and very safe to walk around. it is an easy walk to the Westin and the restaurants there. it is also an inexpensive ride to nearby grocery store, and 5 minutes to a bunch of restaurants at Veracruz beach. We loved everything about this apartment, the building, the property, etc. And Kleriston was simply amazing and helpful throughout our trip. He drove us around and gave us a insider's tour of the area. We had the most amazing Panama vacation and Melissa's place was the highlight of our time. We will totally be back in the future and highly recommend this place. Only complaint we had was the beds were a bit firmer than we like

Me and my friends stayed here for my birthday and Melissa made this stay worth my while . It was BEAUTIFUL, CLEAN , and Overall a 10/10 . I have 0 complaints

My auntie's and I enjoyed the PH at Playa Bonita.We felt right at home. We would definitely come back to stay. Pros -VERY safe -Very Clean -Breath taking views at any angle of downtown, Panama canal, the ocean, etc. -Comfortable beds, where like sleeping on a cloud. -Peaceful and quiet area -Friendly staff -Well stocked with towels, utensils, pots/ pans and dishes. -Quik and efficient communication from hosts. Cons - Door lock was a big hassle to open every time(I’m not sure if it was the 3 keys provided or the lock) -Should be better stocked with simple staples. Such as sugar, coffee and detergent etc. The location is very remote. Eventhough, Plaza Pacifico is 4 mins away. The Uber had to go all the way around to the opposite entrace(>14 mins away) due to security.

We absolutely loved our stay at Casa Bonita. It was as gorgeous as advertised, and we would highly recommend this location to future travelers to Panama. We enjoyed the amenities, the easy access to the beach and the proximity to Panama City and many of the great tourist locations around the city. We easily were able to get to Costco Viejo to Panama City and to other locations we decided to venture out to as well. We found the apartment well stocked with plenty of kitchen utensils if you should decide to make your own meals and very comfortable seating and bedroom furniture.The balcony was an added bonus with an amazing view over the water and the entire property. Once again we highly recommend this unit for future travelers I would be absolutely shocked if someone did not enjoy a stay in this unit.

Very Easy Check-in , Words cannot describe how beautiful this penthouse was. Amazing amenities. Would recommend to anyone staying in Panama & wants both the city & beach vibe.

This was an awesome place. Spacious and clean.

Melissa was a great host!!!! She provided us with lots of “need to know” information without even asking. The home was beautiful and looks just like the pictures. Would definitely book with her again !!!

We loved staying here. Veracruz is beautiful. The building was well-maintained, safe, quiet, and clean. There was coffee and even a bottle of rum and a can of coke waiting for us in the fridge. This place is a gem and we can't wait to return.

The home is beautiful, spacious and inviting. I enjoyed this space. I will stay here again soon. Thank you Melissa and team.

Perfect

Great apartment, very spacious, super clean, & well stocked. The building and entire area felt very safe, wonderful staff, 3 minute walk from Westin with choice of multiple resto’s. Beach and pool access in less than 5 mins. Having a car is a good idea to explore beyond the complex but there is also the option to book very fun tours with direct pickup & drop off at the apartment. Definitely recommend this property - big thanks to the entire team for a great experience!

Had a nice stay at Casa Bonita. Nice place. Melissa was very welcoming and no hassle. Could do without the noise from leaf blowers every day from 7:00 am to 12:00 pm. Not so cool to sit on the terrace and enjoy your breakfast.

Great condo for a group( we were a family of 6). Spacious with beautiful views. Would highly recommend for a relaxing vacation.

We had a wonderful time. It was the best place i ever stayed.

Our family of 5 had a fantastic stay here. Host was excellent and extremely responsive. location was great and the amenities were awesome. the apartment itself was gorgeous.

I had an absolutely wonderful stay at Melissa’s place! The space was clean, beautifully maintained, and thoughtfully designed for comfort. Melissa was an exceptional host—very responsive, kind, and accommodating throughout my visit. The location was perfect, with easy access to local attractions and everything I needed nearby. I truly felt at home and appreciated the attention to detail that made my stay so relaxing. I highly recommend this Airbnb and would love to stay here again in the future!

I would stay here over and over again. The view is amazing. The apartment is huge, well decorated, well equipped, clean, safe and peaceful. I can’t say enough about the stunning views from each room and the dining area and the terrace. I loved it! The host is very responsive and helpful. It is a little off the beaten path, but Uber was cheap and easy. I would definitely stay here again!

My friends and I had a wonderful experience at this penthouse. The residence was as expected. The hosts were very informative. They sent information prior to arrival leading up to check in and daily while we were there. We didn’t have any concerns or complaints with our stay. I’d definitely recommend and I would absolutely stay again.

Our stay was perfect, we will choose it again on our next trip.

Excellent apartment, everything was perfect and clean. The view is wonderful and the owners' service is sensational. I only have compliments and recommend it 100%.

Girls trip of 6 ladies. Felt very safe. Unit was impressive, clean, spacious and modern. Josh met us on our first day. Made us feel welcome. Not far from activities ( that we did ) depending on what you are into. Definitely would recommend a rental car however. Was helpful when needed access to a near by supermarket and pharmacy. Pool and hottube was nice. View was breathtaking.

Beautiful condo it was everything I expected plus more! The space is as gorgeous as the views. Melissa and Stacey proactive communication made the stay even more enjoyable! Would definitely stay again!

This was a great apartment, large enough for 5 adults. The living area and kitchen were large and stocked appropriately. The location was great, a 3 minute walk to the Westin hotel, which had some nice restaurants. Overall was a great experience!

We really enjoyed the Penthouse, the view and the location.

This place is great. Beautiful views and they have lots of towels to use.

Absolutely beautiful… owners were quick to respond.. no complains at all.. just fabulous

Wonderful place to stay! Melissa was a phenomenal host from booking through the entire stay. The pictures does not do justice for how beautiful and spacious the Airbnb is! Overall wonderful experience and highly recommend.

Private, safe, clean, and comfortable accommodations. The view was absolutely stunning to wake up to and catch sunsets in the evening. There is a Westin Hotel on the property that offered nice amenities and restaurant options. Uber rides to and from the city were easy. Panama did not disappoint 🇵🇦

The place was nice and clean amazing views 10/10

Great apartment, great location, great hosts who were very friendly and accommodating; would definitely come back. Thank you! :)

After being swindled on AirBNB from another host with our reservation cancelled upon arrival, Melissa literally saved our vacation. Not only did she respond to us at 11pm at night while we were scrambling to find a new space after learning our reservation was cancelled only after arriving in Panama, but she allowed an early check-in the day after our arrival to accommodate my family and I on a Spring Break trip that was about to be disastrous. Casa Bonita is a wonderful building that was well appointed. Beautiful sea views from the home with all the creature comforts one would expect. The beds are comfortable, the unit was squeaky clean, and she even left us a complimentary bottle of wine for us to enjoy upon our arrival. Communication was wonderful! This is a hidden gem outside of the city that provides peace and tranquility, while still only being 18 minutes from city center. Five stars!!!!!

Great host Wonderful penthouse Beautiful scenery Friendly people Amazing country Definitely recommend 100%

Excellent accommodations on penthouse floor with great views of beach, canal causeway and city…perfect trifecta. Super responsive host both before and during stay which made our vacation extra relaxing! Pictures of unit are spot on and current. Would recommend this location to others looking for accommodations just outside of city and near a beach.

Great place to stay! Host was super accommodating to our needs.

The penthouse was truly amazing! We enjoyed our stay at Casa Bonita! Our hosts were on hand in minutes to take care of a blown surge protector, which affected the air conditions in the apartment. It was fixed in no time at all. They checked on us throughout our stay to see how things were going and if we needed anything. We will definitely be back again. Also, I would like to add that we needed to use Uber and it needed to be an Uber XL because we had a family of 5. We had no problems scheduling a car to take us where we needed to go. We also used the In Drive app (you will need to pay the driver cash after your ride) which was easy to use and we never had problems getting someone to drive us where we needed to go.

Perfect for our family. We had a rental car and went all over without ants trouble and were able to come back to a comfortable familiar bed each night. Highly recommend and would enjoy working with the Host again. Everyone was very welcoming and helpful.

First, the host was responsive and terrific start to finish. Next, it’s a stunning apartment. The views, light and included amenities were 1st class. Spacious for the 5 adults in our party. Comfortable, clean and stocked with all the tools we needed to make our week at Casa Bonita a success. We went shopping to the Mercado da Mariscos for fresh seafood and cooked two feasts in the well appointed kitchen. Finally the adjacent Westin Hotel,with its pools, restaurants and stand for taxis and Ubers was a real plus. The location is a bit remote but manageable given the accessibility of pretty superb Uber service. We enjoyed the beach and pool and pickleball court. We saw monkeys and sloths and exotic birds in abundance.

This property was absolutely beautiful. It was so comfortable, quiet, had all the necessary items for cooking, plenty of linens for 6+ people. We had a few electrical/AC issues that were completely out of control of the property. The hosts were so attentive in communications and made sure we were comfortable and resolved the issues promptly as much as they could under the situation. Their issue resolution from the hosts to the owners was absolutely amazing. We were provided a lot of information from grocery shopping, restaurants, activities, amenity choices to adjoining properties. The open kitchen, family room and dining room with beautiful balconies that had the most amazing view of the Panama Canal were just stunning from the 24th floor suite. Our family 6, which included our 89 year old disabled father, whom uses an electric power chair was so accommodating within the suite and the Casa Bonita facility. I can’t say enough, other than “We are coming back”. Thank You 😊

Great place with amazing views. Close to the city and great for medium to large groups.

We had a wonderful stay at Melissa's apartment. Stunning views, very nice decor, plenty of space for big families like ours. Casa Bonita is a very good starting point to get to know Panama. Highly recommended. Thank you Melissa.

Everything was excellent! The suite is exactly as described. Beautiful views, spotless and well maintained!

This was an absolutely incredible find and if I end up traveling to Panama again, I would absolutely stay here again. The place is so beautiful and the gym and pool in the building are fantastic. The access to the Westin as a jumping off point for tours to the rainforest and other places was very convenient. I found the location the perfect split between being able to access the city as well as the rainforest. I just can’t say enough about how fantastic this place is and what a truly wonderful vacation we had!

Beautiful apartment located minutes from the beach. Very roomy, comfy beds and a spacious kitchen with a great coffee maker. Lovely deck with view of Amador Causeway and ships queued up, plus propane bbq. Plenty of pool/beach towels. Rooftop pool was great, but we did pay the additional to join the Pearl Club and it was well worth it for our four-day stay. Overall - fantastic! We'd return in a heartbeat!

I am very satisfied with the apartment. Absolutely as described. Comfortable inside and nice environment around the house. Responsive staff and nice neighbors. I am considering renting an apartment again soon.

Amazing Condo! Absolutely breathtaking views. Hosts were extremely helpful and accommodating. Safe and clean building. Steps away from the Westin hotel with pools, beach and delicious restaurants options. Highly recommend and can’t wait to return!

The apartaments are amazing! The buiding is very fancy, pool and gym are perfect! Only one minus is if you dont have a car you will feel totally isolated. No delivery goes here, you cant walk to the shop because its only highway outside and its really hard and expensive to find a taxi. In other ways its a very good place to stay!

The apartment has a nice view and is very comfortable and comfortable. Very quiet and quiet, I recommend it for people who want to be close to the city but in a quiet beach and jungle environment. I stayed a month and loved it.

This is beautiful peaceful beach side apartment, I worked remotely and went for walks on the beach nearly every evening with my wife. Nice gym, pool, and a private balcony to bask in the morning sun. Lovely spot to enjoy Panama City while staying beach side away from the hustle of the city.

I am very happy with my stay at this penthouse condo. The house was beautiful and clean, the view was amazing, and we were able to easily Uber/Taxi our way to/from the city. The location was quiet and had a full set of kitchen and laundry amenities. This allowed us to buy groceries for our group and cook breakfast or a late-night snack. The host and her staff were very responsive and were able to satisfy any question/request we had. Make sure to check out the wrap-around view on the floor with the pool, you’ll experience a breathtaking view of Panama during both the day and night. I would definitely recommend this listing!

Great place for vacation!

This is a haven for digital nomads or just anyone in general. The peace that I got from staying at this place has been unparalleled at any Airbnb I have ever booked. The ocean breeze made it so I hardly even used the AC, the privacy on the balcony made it great for relaxing without any interruptions. The peace and quiet created the perfect work environment. Seeing the sunrise from the balcony while watching the ships on the ocean and the birds flying was a beautiful experience. Also, Stacey and Melissa were amazing hosts. Their response time was impeccable and made sure I was comfortable at every point. I would definitely stay here again if I’m ever in Panama City. 110% recommended

Melissa's place was amazing. We were a group of six staying there and we all want to stay there again. The AirBnB had everything we needed, views were beyond great, and the amenities really worked out as well. We had access to both the Pearl Club and Westin pools, free of charge, which really added to our time there. Melissa was also very responsive and provided solutions to any issue we had and allowed a flexible check-in and check-out. It is worth noting that the pictures listed are exact and you will not be disappointed at all. Overall, an amazing, peaceful, and fun stay that should not be overlooked!

A beautiful condo with great views of the ocean and surrounding forests. Lovely interior decor, comfortable furniture and adequately stocked with kitchen, bathroom and bedding necessities. We loved our stay from start to finish. We had easy access to the beach and the amazing restaurants by the Westin. Our host was also very responsive and helpful. The property had everything we needed for our stay and more. We were sad to leave this gorgeous place and would definitely recommend it without hesitation.

Beautiful condo, situated close to Panama City but still felt very peaceful.

Great spot....beautiful views!

A luxury. A spacious, functional apartment, well decorated and equipped with very useful things of excellent quality. We enjoyed the coffee maker, the comfortable armchairs, the air conditioning worked excellent and the rooms with their bathrooms had everything needed. The place is very quiet and with a beautiful view of the jungle, the canal and the city. Top-notch building amenities: excellent service in concierge, good parking, comfortable pool with bathrooms and showers and a game room suitable for adults and children. We were very comfortable with the children (5 and 2 years old) happy. Recommended 100%.

Great host and place

Excellent penthouse, nice view, excellent host service, it is removed from the center of Panama about 15/20 minutes which gives you quite a bit of privacy and tranquility

The penthouse looks exactly as described and has beautiful views. The owners were responsive. It is a secluded and private beach. Casco viejo is about 10 min away. Uber was hard to request but the hotel had personal drivers for a small cost. The owner also recommended Luis a personal tourist/chauffeur who was excellent! He drove us from the airport to the hotel and took us on a Monkey tour. He’s also highly recommended. Our overall experience was amazing!

This condo is absolutely gorgeous. It was perfect for our trip with 5 guests. The location is quiet and away from the action. We were able to get ubers and taxis to go into the city, and also walk to the Westin for the restaurant, bakery, and small store. I would definitely stay there again and definitely recommend.

Casa Playa Bonita was as spectacular and picturesque as described in the listing. Clean and peaceful getaway, worth every cent! The host was exceedingly informative and we had effective communication. We had an amazing stay. Would highly recommend if you are looking for place just a few minutes outside of the city.

Loved our stay! Just a short 15 min drive outside of the city for very peaceful surroundings. Beautiful views from the patio and already planning a return trip!

Condo and location are private and luxurious

great spot. great stay. hosts were very attentive and accommodating . we hope to stay again

Place was beautiful the views were amazing . Host was very responsive and flexible . The Westin next door was good to relax and meet other on vacation , if you want more private there is the pearl club right across the streeet for a fee. Uber aren’t as easy to get (trick is message them that you will tip) the well known restaurants are about 20 minutes away . ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Highly recommend, beautiful view in the balcony. The penthouse has everything in stock.

Great spot
