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 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!

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.

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.

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.

Melissa place is absolutely beautiful, and she is a fantastic host with awesome communication and many fantastic suggestions. Stepping into the apartment, will make anyone feel like a million dollars. The apartment is squeaky clean, stocked and feels like home. The complex was too quiet for us , but that’s personal preference. However, some of the amenities did not work - which was a bit unfortunate. One of the biggest draws for us was the hot tub and sauna - both did not work for our stay. We ended up paying to use those amenities at the spa nearby. We requested a reasonable refund ( 10%) but Melissa denied our request.
