Apartment in Río Hato
4.86 out of 5 average rating, 7 reviewsDream beach apartment in front of the best beach
My friends and I spent 2.5 months here and it was just as described. You have access to a communal hot tub and pool, and the ocean is just outside your yard. The house is well equipped and spacious. The kitchen in particular is well stocked with pots and dishes and kitchen gadgets and a HUGE freezer/fridge. Three bedrooms have AC, plus a bunk bed in a hallway and another room without AC. And the living room area has AC as well. Most of the time we were in the building alone, the other units sometimes filled up on weekends but mostly it was just us, which was nice. The building's caretaker was always available and able to help us do anything we needed. There are large supermarkets containing all sorts of American and European brands about 10 minutes away by car. It's about 2.5 hours from the Tocumen airport, depending on traffic. The beach is calm and rarely has waves, but the water does get deep very quickly, at least for the months we were there. All told, highly recommended

We stayed here for a couple of days for my wife’s birthday. We absolutely loved it. The place was very clean and comfortable and had everything we needed. The scenery was beautiful. The private pool was great. It was so chill and relaxing and the kids loved it! This is truly a nice property. We would definitely stay here again

4.93 out of 5 average rating, 27 reviewsBeachfront apartment in Riomar, San Carlos.
We stayed here for 6 months and it was awesome great space. Apartment was good and the host was very responsive with every thing we asked for. Rio Mar as a complex is such a beautiful spot with everyone one needs. The only thing I would say is if you are coming here from the airport in Panama City, don’t use this hosts taxi/transportation. We did on our way to the apartment and paid about triple to what we paid when we left the apartment. Look around to find a local trusted driver and you can get there much cheaper. All in all, was a great stay and would recommend to everyone.

4.93 out of 5 average rating, 14 reviewsSpectacular property with beach access
Amazing stay! The home is spacious, open, comfortable, & charming! Filled with personality, artsy items, games, amenities. Beautiful fresh flowers, fruit, & champagne were thoughtful touches. Many areas to relax & every spot an amazing view! The sound of the waves is heard even with windows shut. It was so calming and peaceful. The yard is huge with lots of seating and several hammocks. The beach is at the bottom of the backyard stairs with a tiled outdoor shower. Our kid and dogs loved the long, quiet beach. The water was warm, swimmable, with nearby tide pools. Lioni & Rogelio, the caretakers, kept the yard & house spotless. They were warm, kind, and allowed us privacy while also being available. Rogelio bought fresh shrimp and Lioni cooked it for us for dinner. It was delicious. Adrien & Rosa were friendly, thoughtful, responsive, and communicative. It is a beautiful & happy place. We were sad to leave & cannot wait to return. (We recommend nearby Mambo Italiano & Melree’s)

4.73 out of 5 average rating, 22 reviewsCHARMING ALMAR FRONT HOUSE WITH PISCINA-CORONADO
Classic Playa Coronado Beach House. Older open air home on the beach with pool, and playground for the kids. The house was as described, reviewed and as expected. Each bedroom had comfortable beds, A/C, and bathroom. It was perfect for our 5 day stay with family and kids. Marcela was a responsive host for any questions/problems. Daniel the grounds keeper was very nice and helpful as well if you needed anything. My kids loved the beach, pool and especially the playground. Great location and many restaurants and groceries stores within 10 mins or less. I would stay here again.

5 out of 5 average rating, 6 reviewsTropical Beachfront Paradise | BBQ, ping pong +
Our stay at this property was fantastic. The location is ideal, with easy access to the beach, which made our vacations even more special. Also, as a dog lover, enjoying Clinton's company was a pleasant surprise that we were happy every day. The house is cozy and comfortable, perfect to relax and enjoy the environment. Carlos, the host, was always attentive and willing to help us at all times. We would definitely repeat our stay at this wonderful property. Highly recommended!

The facilities are very nice and very homey, they make you feel quiet. I am very grateful to our host for their sincerity. The photos show exactly what the place is like. We will definitely be back!

4.94 out of 5 average rating, 102 reviewsOceanView-Rooftop Jacuzzi&Pool | Concierge Service
Excellent place. Amazing food. Very responsive host. Peaceful beach. Very well stocked kitchen. A few minor issues: the spa buttons were temporarily broken so to run the heat we had to text the host. But he was very responsive. The neighborhood has barking dogs, and a few right across the street, which can get a bit noisy. There is bag toss, which is nice, but the bags are leaking sand. Our only recommendation is to be sure of your number of guests upon reservation. The $40 per guest after the reservation is excessive for the minimal amount of cleaning required for per person for a night. This is an amazing house for a large group and we would reserve again. The highlight was the food that Emelda makes. Just delicious. And the host is extremely responsive and helpful.

Condo in San Carlos District
4.83 out of 5 average rating, 12 reviewsBeach front Apt 2b/2baths at Ensenada Beach Resort
Jennifer was extremely responsive. There was a problem with one of the A/C units. Jennifer arranged for a technician to come troubleshoot it on a Sunday! Please note that the guest pays for electricity used during their stay. The property manager takes photos of the meter upon arrival and at departure. It was only $25 per week but guests should be aware.
Condo in Nueva Gorgona
5 out of 5 average rating, 28 reviews20th Flr Beachfront Nueva Gorgona, Panama 2/3 unit
My husband and I spent a week at Eugenia's place and it was absolutely wonderful! Eugenia answered any questions quickly. The balcony is perfect for relaxing and watching the ocean and birds flying by. The pools were always clean, the pool snack bar was super convenient, as well as the beach bar. The beach was clean and never crowded with loungers available. The restaurant at this location had great food and service - and the prices were in line too. Eugenia's place was very clean when we arrived, the kitchen is great for cooking with sharp knives and good cookware. You can buy groceries in Coronado at two major supermarkets about 7-10 minutes away by taxi or Uber. There are also several nearby restaurants. The bed was very comfortable, and the unit was designed to have the balcony sliders wide open with the kitchen windows open (which face a lovely mountain view) for a delightful cross breeze. We will definitely be back!

The apartment is fabulous. The property is clean with modern amenities. The views from the balcony are amazing. Host was proactive and very responsive. It was very spacious for our family of 4. The food at the onsite restaurant at the beach club was good quality and reasonably priced. It seems to be under new management and was closed the first 2 days of our stay.
