Amazing stay! The property was beautiful, spacious, clean, and had everything we needed. The host was also very accommodating and allowed us an extra hour in the living area of the property since we had a later flight, which we really appreciated. The only downside was that we weren’t really able to use the pool table because the 8-ball was missing. I mentioned it at check-in and was told they would look into it, but I never received an update or even a response after following up by text. If I could give it a 4.9, I absolutely would, but since the options are 4 or 5, I have to go with 4. Overall, it was a great stay and I’d happily return.

The house was really nice. We were accommodated with early check in which was great. We noticed an 8 ball was missing from the pool table which was noted when the host received us and gave us a tour. It was never addressed during our stay. We also reported issues via the app with the coffee maker and it was never remediated during our stay. The game room seems to clearly struggle with dampness and mold, because it reeked of ammonia and cleaning solution to the point where none of us used it all during the stay. The house is a great space, but the host is a management company leading to different individuals seeing and responding to messages, and also likely why no issues we reported during the stay were ever resolved.

We had an amazing stay overall and really enjoyed the property. The amenities were awesome, the house was comfortable, and it was a great place for our group to enjoy our time in Panama. There were a few minor issues worth mentioning. The basketball rim was a little damaged, and the pool table was still missing the 8-ball. We also decided not to use the game room because there didn’t seem to be much ventilation, and the humidity appeared to have caused some mold, so we felt it was best not to enter. That being said, none of these things took away from how much we enjoyed our stay. The property was amazing overall, and we had a great experience. With a little maintenance and attention to those areas, it would be even better and more accurately reflect everything shown in the listing. We would definitely recommend the property and would be happy to stay again.

Mauricio's place is perfect for group gatherings with plenty of bedrooms, bathrooms and entertainment area. There is literally something for everyone! It was that special balance of feeling right at home but also a relaxing getaway retreat. Would def recommend!

What an amazing stay in Panama with 6 women I have known since I was 5 or six. The place was perfect for our group…clean, spacious, safe…just a great location. Glad we had an opportunity to stay in this gem of a location. Mauricio and his team will take great care of you, the house will quickly feel like a home, so that you can have an amazing time in beautiful Panama. Can’t wait till come back. If you are looking for a place to call home for your large group while in Panama… look no further. 10/10 highly recommend.

This house has no running water for any function, including showering, washing dishes, or flushing the toilet. The house is not connected to the city's water main. Mauricio uses a cistern to collect water and feed it to the house. The water pump to the cistern was broken. Mauricio waited until we checked in at 6pm to make us aware of this situation. At 9pm, the situation still was not resolved. His resolution was to buy cases of water for everyone in the house. This included 11 people ranging from 2years old to 70 years old. Absolutely not an acceptable measure. At 10 pm, we had to leave and find new accommodations. Based on Mauricio repeatedly asking when we would arrive at the Airbnb, I believe he knew at least one day in advance that he had this issue. Rather than give us ample time to find different accommodations, he led us along well into the night. After contacting Airbnb for a resolution, Mauricio never responded to the customer service agent.

This home is beautiful and was very spacious and clean. We had a large group and was very comfortable. All the amenities were as listed. There are a few steps for the entrance. The location is also excellent. Very safe and close by to many restaurants and shopping.
