We had a fabulous stay at Odette's beautiful home! Everything was perfect especially the heated private pool (an additional charge but totally worth it) We're making plans for a return trip😁 Thanx Odette for being a wonderful host!!

Thank you Vanessa for your nice words! We hope to have you guys back for another wonderful vacation ☀️

Beautiful property, very hospitable owners!

Bella propiedad, muy hospitalarios los duenos!

I chose this listing B/c it presented as a premium property, Unfortunately its condition fell below acceptable cleanliness standards. Upon arrival, it was immediately apparent that the unit had not been properly cleaned or maintained. From the bathroom showers, to the  living room sofa/chairs had large, visible stains, even the bdrm pillows also stains.The floors throughout the unit were dirty, and the kitchen backsplash was covered with splatter. Additionally, the patio furniture was covered in black mold, making it unusable! Had to place towels over the cushions just to sit comfortably outside.The description and photos advertised 3 lounge chairs yet only 1 was provided. What was most disappointing was when I contacted Odette regarding these issues, her immediate response was if I was unhappy, I could leave and she would refund my money! This was neither a helpful nor responsible solution, after arriving to property and unpacking for what was intended to be relaxing vacation!

Thank you for your feedback, Jennifer. I’m sorry your stay didn’t meet expectations, that’s never the experience we aim to provide, and I take these comments seriously. When you first reached out, I offered a full refund so you could relocate to a place you’d feel comfortable, because your satisfaction mattered more to me than the booking. I’ve since gone through the unit and our cleaning process to make sure everything is in top shape for future guests. I truly wish we could have turned your stay around, and I wish you all the best.

Just a small issue with the door lock, which apparently had no battery and couldn't be locked. There is only one restaurant open throughout the week, and they have very few staff. The other two restaurants are only open on weekends

Solo un pequeño detalle con el lock de la puerta que al parecer no tenia bateria y no se podia trancar. Solo hay un restaurante abierto durante toda la semana y tienen muy poco staff. Los otros dos restaurantes solo abren los fines de semana

The rental was lovely. It’s a resort and as an adventure traveler I was uncertain what the area would afford us but the proximity to the beach with a restaurant onsite was unbeatable. The food at the restaurant, Koyuco, was great; we watched World Cup there. A real highlight of our trip was time spent in Portobelo. Such a lovely city; it’s 30 minutes from the rental. I recommend eating at Cafe Congo, the seating area overlooks the bay and is absolutely breathtaking. Additionally, a stroll to the church with Black Jesus is a must. The church itself dates back to 1606 and is undergoing renovations but still well worth a visit.

Our stay in Playa Escondida was simply wonderful. The place is beautiful, quiet and perfect for disconnecting from the daily grind. The property is very well maintained, impeccably clean, and equipped with everything you need for a comfortable stay. What we enjoyed the most was the peaceful surroundings, the beauty of the sea, and the feeling of being in a true retreat to rest and spend time with family. Each space invites you to relax and create lasting memories. We appreciate the excellent service and hospitality we received. It's definitely a place we'd gladly return to and recommend to those seeking an experience of relaxation, comfort, and contact with nature. Thank you for a memorable stay!

Nuestra estadía en Playa Escondida fue simplemente maravillosa. El lugar es hermoso, tranquilo y perfecto para desconectarse del ritmo diario. La propiedad está muy bien cuidada, impecablemente limpia y equipada con todo lo necesario para una estancia cómoda. Lo que más disfrutamos fue la paz del entorno, la belleza del mar y la sensación de estar en un verdadero refugio para descansar y compartir en familia. Cada espacio invita a relajarse y crear recuerdos inolvidables. Agradecemos la excelente atención y la hospitalidad recibida. Sin duda, es un lugar al que regresaríamos con mucho gusto y que recomendamos a quienes buscan una experiencia de descanso, comodidad y contacto con la naturaleza. ¡Gracias por una estancia inolvidable!

I loved it so much that I plan to come back!

We had a wonderful family trip. Kids loved the private pool!

Excellent property. Everything was as described, and it was very clean. Everything was well organized, and the host was helpful at all times, providing immediate responses. We 100% recommend this place, and we would stay here again next time.

Excelente propiedad. Coincide en todo y muy limpio. Todo organizado y la anfitriona atenta en todo momento y con respuestas immediatas. Recomendamos Full 100% este lugar y voleveriamos en una próxima ocasión

Thank you, Andres! You are always welcome :)

“Absolutely perfect beachfront apartment in an unbeatable location!. The place was spotless, beautifully decorated, and had everything we needed for a relaxing stay. The host is truly the best—super responsive, thoughtful, and went above and beyond to make our trip special with great local recommendations. We felt so welcome and well taken care of. Highly recommend this gem! We’ll definitely be back. Thank you!”

Odette’s place is phenomenal.  The apartment was clean, had plenty of towels- including beach towels, the beds were extremely comfortable, the view was amazing and the private pool was an added bonus.  Odette went out of her way to ensure that we had everything we needed to include finding us a private chef during our stay.  The chef was outstanding.  Not only was she a great cook she was also extremely friendly.  She prepared  homemade, fresh delicious meals to include chicken curry, fried fish and shrimp with rice.  The sides were just as amazing as the main courses… plantains, homemade salad dressings, salads, fresh fruits,  homemade mashed potatoes and  pineapple salsa.   The resort itself was spotless.  The staff takes great pride in the facility and it shows.  The beach chairs and  umbrellas were plentiful and we loved the option of multiple pools, the expansive playground with splash pad or beach.  No matter where we went at playa escondida our family had a great time.

Esan and his family were wonderful to host. They followed the house rules perfectly and were great guests. They asked me to book a chef for them to cook local flavors for them all week and they really enjoyed all the food and experience. Would love to have them back anytime! Thanks!

The apartment is very nice and in an excellent location near the marina. You have immediate access to the pools, restaurant and also the beach. Very good communication with Odette. We want to come back again with the family. Highly recommended!

El apartamento esta muy bonito y tiene en una excelente ubicación cerca de la marina. Tienes acceso inmediato a las piscinas, restaurante y también la playa. Muy buena la comunicación con Odette. Queremos regresar nuevamente con la familia. Muy recomendado!

Beautiful property and heavenly place. Everything is top-notch. Thank you Odette

Preciosa propiedad y lugar paradisiaco. Todo de primera calidad. Gracias Odette

The apartment is comfortable and has everything you need. The pool is smaller than it looks in the photos, although we didn't use it. The beach is very close and beautiful. Odette was very friendly and allowed us to check out later without any inconvenience. Thank you for your attention!

El apartamento es cómodo y cuenta con todo lo necesario. La piscina es más pequeña de lo que parece en las fotos, aunque no la utilizamos. La playa está muy cerca y es preciosa. Odette fue muy amable y nos permitió hacer el check-out más tarde sin ningún inconveniente. ¡Gracias por la atención!

The house-like apartment is beautiful. It was quite comfortable for my group of friends. It has everything you need to spend a few days with family or friends. It is spacious for the number of people allowed, I loved the view and Odette's service, she was always attentive to any questions. I will return and it is highly recommended.

El apartamento tipo casa es hermoso.  fue bastante cómodo para mi grupo de amigos. tiene todo lo que necesitas para pasar unos días con familia o amigos. es espaciosa para la cantidad de personas permitidas, me encanto la vista y la atención de Odette, siempre estuvo atenta a cualquier consulta. volveré y esta super recomendado.

Everything was fine, the host was always very helpful and polite

Tudo certo a host sempre muito prestativa e educada

Apartment was like new, clean very well stocked and in a great location.

I was delighted with the house, the kitchen is super complete with everything you need for a comfortable stay.

Quedé encantada con la casa, la cocina super completa con todos lo necesario para una estadía cómoda.

One of the best apartments I've stayed in Playa Escondida... the truth 100/100, all the comforts to feel at home... I would come back.

De los mejores apartamentos que me he hospedado en Playa Escondida.. la verdad 100/100, todas las comodidades para sentirte como en casa… Volvería.

Beautiful place, clean and cozy. The atmospherr was pleasant, everything was as described in the listing. Highly recommended.

Playa Escondida is undoubtedly one of the best beaches in Panama. This accommodation has everything you need to enjoy a few days of rest with your family, a super quiet, safe place, with lots of privacy and excellent security. The apartment is fully equipped, very comfortable and cozy. I would definitely stay here again. Highly recommended!

Playa Escondida es, sin duda, una de las mejores playas de Panamá. Este alojamiento lo contempló todo para disfrutar de unos días de descanso en familia, un lugar súper tranquilo, seguro, con mucha privacidad y excelente seguridad. El apartamento está completamente equipado, muy cómodo y acogedor. Sin duda volvería a alojarme aquí. ¡Full recomendado!

Muchas gracias Maryori. Los esperamos en un futuro!

The apartment is beautiful and functional, the kitchen is complete, the location, although it is not "beachfront" it overlooks the ocean and the pool, a few steps from the beach, it has a direct exit to the beach that is super practical. Being on the ground floor, it is very convenient to enter and exit. You can also take advantage of the apartment's private pool. The complex is huge and has many activities to do, everything is very well cared for and the people are very friendly. I would definitely come back.

El depto es hermoso y funcional, la cocina completisima, la ubicacion, si bien no es "frente al mar" es con vista al mar y a la piscina,  a pocos pasos de la playa, tiene una salida directa a la playa que es super practica. Al estar en planta baja es muy comodo entrar y salir ademas podes aprovechar la piscina privada del depto. El complejo es enorme y tiene muchas actividades para hacer, todo muy cuidado y la gente es muy amable. Sin dudarlo volveria.

Place is a gem! Had a great time with my family!

This apartment was amazingly beautiful, we had a great time with our family, and the host was the best!

Muchas gracias Juan! Nos alegra mucho que hayan disfrutado su vacación, los esperamos de regreso en Casa Wabi!

We had a fantastic stay! The place was comfortable yet beautifully designed with luxury decor that made it feel extra special. The bed and pillows were incredibly comfortable, and the kitchen had everything we needed to cook and feel right at home. Everything was spotless and thoughtfully arranged. Highly recommend for a relaxing and stylish getaway!

Muchas gracias Jennifer por el lindo mensaje! Estamos contentos de que hayan disfrutado su estadía. Están bienvenidos a Casa Wabi cuando quieran!

The apartment is very nice, clean and comfortable. Close to the beach, the restaurant and the shop. We loved it.

El apartamento muy lindo, limpio y cómodo. Cerca de la playa, del restaurante y de la tiendita. Nos encantó.

Gracias Wendy! Siempre bienvenidas a casa wabi :)

The location and apartment are simply spectacular. The apartment is very comfortable and beautifully decorated. The host was very attentive and proactive, always making sure that we had a pleasant stay. We had an amazing few days in Playa Escondida.

El sitio y el apartamento simplemente espectaculares. El apartamento muy cómodo y bellamente decorado. La anfitriona muy atenta y proactiva , siempre pendiente de que tuviéramos una estadía agradable .Tuvimos unos días increíbles en Playa Escondida .

Muchas gracias Carlos! Están bienvenidos siempre :)

It’s hard to give a simple review when it’s more of an overall feeling, the experience. I could have left a review about Odette before my family and I even checked in. Weeks prior she was attentive and responsive. Once we arrived she made sure we were comfortable. Any questions I had she was quick to always respond. The unit was impeccably clean, the decor was stunning, the plunge pool and outdoor patio was delightful. Our stay at Odette’s place was the best part of our 2 week trip! It was perfect as it was a big part of one of the most memorable days of my life. I got engaged here! The location was perfect as it is near the water and restaurants. Odette went above and beyond for my family and I 1000% would recommend staying here as I will again. Thank you Odette for all that you did to make our experience a phenomenal one!

An amazing stay! We love Playa Escondida and Odette’s place didn’t disappoint. She was very responsive and helpful. Thank you for an incredible experience!

We had an amazing stay at Odette's apartment! From start to finish, she was a wonderful host, providing prompt and helpful communication, which made the entire process smooth and stress-free. The apartment itself is fantastic—spacious, clean, and beautifully decorated. The views are absolutely breathtaking, making it the perfect spot to relax and unwind. The condo is also stunning, with good amenities that made our stay comfortable and enjoyable. This place is ideal for family vacations. There was plenty of room for everyone. The kitchen was well-equipped, the bbq is a great extra and and so is the private pool. We also loved the location— just about 1h from Panama City. Thank you, Odette, for being such a great host and for providing such a lovely place to stay. We can’t wait to come back in the future!
