"We were welcomed to the home with yummy cookies and a bottle of wine! The beach house was beautiful, each room was decorated in a beach theme. The beach itself is only down a path, and you can see it and hear it from the home. I would highly recommend staying at this property, we had a great time!"

"Our stay was exceptional! The home itself is beautfully set in a very quiet and secluded gated community. There are spectacular unobstructed views of Playa Hermosa from numerous sitting areas on the property and direct beach access from the property as well! The pool was spectacular for cooling off and admiring the ocean views, sunsets, sunrises all while hearing many tropical birds. The home ia very well equipped with everything you could possibly need - literally just bring yourself! Very well...

"The beach house was perfect for our family of 5. We stayed for a week in June. Friendly and quick communication from property manager, Michael. The house is exactly as pictured. The pool area and hammocks were wonderful, and AC in all rooms made for comfortable sleeping. The beach is a 5-minute walk, and in June, we felt we almost had it to ourself. Beautiful! Friendly, safe neighborhood. We loved our week at the beach and hope to someday return."

4.0 star property
9.6 out of 10, Exceptional, (191)
" Lovely landscaped grounds and very helpful and friendly staff at reception and restaurant. Food was lovely! Amazing views from our villa#23! —the villa itself was not decorated well; a black leather couch and heavy red curtains; it had no ‘Panamian feel’ … this missed the mark. -both swimming pools are missing tiles…it didn’t detract from our pleasure! But it gives an ‘old’ and uncared-for impression. However, the property is being renovated so I assume this will be attended too."
