What Our Guests Say

January 2025

"A hidden gem few steps away from a gorgeous beach: long walks, very close to El Valle for hikes, 10 min from top supermarkets and shops but tucked away in a tranquil spot. Rooms are basic but beds and pillows and beddings are good quality and comfy, all accommodations come with en-suite bathroom and there's a fully equipped kitchen for guests to use. Eduardo the ground keeper is always ready to assist and Alan the owner is quite the character and entertaining. Would definitely recommend and stay here again. Having a car is advisable but not indispensable."

"This place is great. It is right next to the most beautiful beach I have yet to see in Panama. When the tide is going down, you can walk for kilometers along the beach. The room itself is very comfortable. I felt at home on the property and enjoyed the company of Mila, the very friendly dog. The price of the rental was excellent--much, much lower than any other lodgings in the area--and the experience of staying there was wonderful. I highly recommend this stay."

"Wow! I had such a wonderful stay and met really nice couples and singles too. Such a chilled atmosphere. I've been travelling on my motorcycle from Canada over the past 8 months and this place for 4 nights was absolutely perfect. Only a few minutes to walk to the beach. Alan is a fantastic host and can't do enough for you. If he's not there Eduardo looks after things. There is a nice Italian restaurant about a five minute walk away but besides that not much else. There are supermarkets but they're about a 5 minute drive away. Mayla the dog is beautiful and I miss her. So great place, perfect vibe, remote and a fantastic pool."
