With a beach course golf tournament on my calendar, we decided to turn it into an extended family getaway. This apartment turned out the be the perfect location for - it is exactly as described and shown in the pictures. Very spacious, clean, with good views of the beach and close to all activities. It was close to the golf course I was participating in, which was awesome - the on property pool was great, there is access to the Laguna Beach as well as the ocean. Restaurants are on premises if you want, full size kitchen to do your own food preparation. The only issue we identified was that the master toilet has a leak - we noticed water on the floor after a couple of flushes. A minor detail that I am sure John will address. Overall, a great option and we highly recommend it to anyone looking for a comfortable beach vacation spot.

Excelente opción para ir a la playa en familia!

John fue muy amable y estuvimos en contacto en todo momento, la propiedad estaba en perfectas condiciones: sábanas limpias, toallas limpias, con el equipamiento esencial para cocinar y una barbacoa (parrillera) en el balcón, el cual es amplio y con hermosa vista sobre el complejo y al mar; lo esencial para pasar unos días de vacaciones, en la entrada principal del área de Playa Blanca cuenta con Supermercado y Farmacia. Uno de los atractivos de esta propiedad es que está ubicado en una urbanización que tiene playa y además una piscina de agua salada, a muy poca distancia del edificio, que uno se va caminando. Fuimos con niños y su gran deseo era bañarse en esa piscina (nuestra visita era de México - grupo de 4) pero las personas de atención al cliente, en vez de ser cordiales son las más inadecuadas para estar en ese tipo de complejo ya que de muy mala manera te hacen saber que si no estás con el propietario de la unidad te mandan a salir y te dicen que no puedes estar ahí. Mi puntuación es de 100/100 por el propietario del apartamento y su atención y respuesta a todas nuestras inquietudes, pero por la atención al cliente de parte del complejo turístico es de 0/100... es una lástima que Panamá sea un destino que puede tener muchos atractivos, pero por su PÉSIMA atención al cliente pasa a no ser deseado para repetir la experiencia. Gracias por todo John. Saludos, Raquel

We went there for our Easter Holidays, with 3 kids. Weather was great though too windy this time of the year, but had a great time. Beach is great, although there is not much shade/bohios, recommend taking your own sun umbrella. Other option is the excellent laguna and all the activities it offers, we really enjoyed it and will go back when possible! Thanks John for your prompt response! Good job of the conserjes as well.

Hi there, I stay with my family in September 2015, was excellent, very nice and quiet all, we really liked the place and will go Mr. John. Excellent attention on your part and I hope it gives you many happy guests.

Beautiful apartment at a nice development. John was very helpful fulfilling my request. I will definitely stay here again!

Nice beaches, Amazing POOL.

Our stay could not have been better. John's directions to the apartment made it easy to find our way from Panama City. From the moment we picked up the keys at the secured entrance, to checkout, the staff were friendly and helpful. The apartment was beautifully furnished, fully-equipped and had more than enough room for my wife and I, my daughter her husband and our three grandchildren. We enjoyed meals on the balcony with views of the ocean. The grounds are perfectly maintained grounds and include a nice pool and spacious lounge area. Our stay was outstanding. Five stars.

El apartamento tiene todas las comodidades para pasarlo en familia, cerca de la playa.

My husband and I stayed at the condo with 3friends. We had an amazing time. Our day consisted of beach and pool time. We enjoy breakfast & dinner on the balcony. John the owner was extremely helpfull and responded to my question on a timely basis. The cook he recomended was great she became part of our family. Playa Blanca Resort ammenities was also a plus. My friends can't stop talking about the amazing week we had. I plan to stay at this location again next year.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Everything needed for a comfortable stay was provided. The owner was great to do business with, and promptly answered our questions via email during our stay. The free WIFI was a nice bonus. Our favourite thing was sitting out on the balcony. It was large, overlooking the pool and a view of the ocean where we ate breakfast and dinner as a family. The sunsets were spectacular. We recommend this condo for all age groups, couples and/or families. The condo buildings were fairly empty, so we had the pool to ourselves. Just a side point for families, the beach has lifeguards. We had a great meal at Beirut in the building adjacent to this property. Pick up your groceries in Penonome, it's much cheaper. We drove to El Valle from here in a rental car. Nice easy drive, and pretty area to see. We would definitely stay here again.

The directions provided were great (otherwise a lot of the entrances would have been easy to miss). Everyone on the grounds were super friendly and helpful as soon as we arrived. We even got a follow up call to make sure we had everything we needed. This was a cozy spot behind an all inclusive resort, but only a short walk to the beach. We were able to cook meals there easily, although I recommend stopping at the grocery store about 20-25 minutes outside of the resort (I believe the town was Portobello) for a better selection.The children really enjoyed the pool since the beach waves were a bit rough; however there were other activities at the resort for a fee--horseback riding, jet ski riding, etc. There was a comedy club and discoteca on the resort that you can access with a wristband--$20 for the night, but both were pretty quiet. Out of the 4 condo buildings, only 2 rooms were occupied which made the grounds very quiet since we had it all to ourselves. I would highly recommend the place to anyone. The pictures were very accurate and it was more spacious than we had anticipated.

So this was our first time using VRBO and we were a bit worried about how everything would work out. I must say that John made the whole process very smooth and easy. The apartment had everything you would need, we were able to cook, BBQ, etc. It had plenty of space and was very comfortable. The complex was not crowded at all which was great for us, making it quite relaxing. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone.

Went with my family to celebrate my son´s birthday who happens to love the beach. Location of the apartment is excellent and the apartment has everything you need to be more than comfortable. John explained everything and sent me all necessary info to make sure we had a good time. He even called from the US to explain something we could not get to work! I will definetely go back and have already recommend it to my friends.

Relaxing, relaxing, relaxing. Pool to ourselves. - Very helpful management staff. - Beautifully appointed home albeit kitchen cabinets were a little "tired". Great location within the Playa Blanca resort - Closer to beach than most condos. We hired a car from the airport for day trips to enjoy surrounding area. We hope to return... sooner than later.

Today 9/22/10, we checked out after 2 great days in this wonderfully equipped condo. We are a party of 4 adults and previous visitors to Panama City and users of VRBO. This is a wonderful condo from which to experience the Farallon area. The day trip to El Valle is easy & rewarding. I would recommend this condo to ANYONE who wants to experience this area. The walk to the beach is only a few hunderd yards and walks past many interesting residences. The owners are a delight to deal with and very accomodating!!!

After a long trip and the uncertainty we had about this apartment being legitimate, we were exhausted, tired and we were starting to think that we were not going to like Panama very much. However, this place changed our mind. From the start, everyone from the security guards to the person that gave us the keys were very nice and helpful. The apartment was everything we could ask for and more, it gave us the feeling that we were at home. The view at the pool and at the beach that was only 5 minutes away walking was awesome. All the rooms had comfortable beds and freezing AC units. The bathrooms and kitchen were clean and free of bugs. We would definitely go back to this apartment if we need to go back to Panama. The tips that I could give you are the following: If you need to iron your clothes, bring your own iron because we could not find one in the apartment. If you’re walking towards the beach put some “Off” on in case you take the way that has a lot of mosquitoes. Last, if you plan to cook your own food, I would recommend you to do your grocery shopping more towards Panama City where they have more selection and better prices.

I´ve stayed several times in this property and I´ve had an excellent time. It is confortable and has everything you need to spend an excellent vacation. It is walking distance from the beach which makes it very practical. I will certainly go back!

Our family of four stayed in this beautiful condo in March 2009 and we were very impressed! The condo is immaculate, spacious and very tastefully decorated. The area was very, very quiet. We didn't see anyone other than the groundskeeper. We had the pool all to ourselves every day. We chose to buy the option plan at Playa Blanca Resort for our meals and for use of their facilities. They have several pools and very friendly staff. Again, a very quiet resort. It was very peaceful unlike anything we had experienced before at a resort. The owner of the condo was fantastic to deal with. We arrived a day earlier than what we had booked (my mistake)and with one phone call, the owner gave us access to his condo. We were very pleasantly surprised when we saw the condo. The balcony was huge with a beautiful view. Perfect for reading and relaxing. We definitely recommend this condo. It was one of the highlights of our trip to Panama. You will not be disappointed!
