    Beautiful garden, beautiful cabañas, we had a separate kitchen that was AMAZING, everything you need was there. The wifi was superfast aswell. Kind welcome gift & card. All made with love & care. The location is very remote, perfect for some time off. The beach is very beautiful and only a short walk away. Sometimes you can swim, sometimes it’s dangerous. Host was responsive but we didn’t meet them personally.

    Surrounded by trees and wildlife, this was one of our favourite stays in Panama. We went to the empty beach (be aware of jellyfish!), relaxed in the hammocks and just enjoyed ourselves. The hosts were nice, our cottages great, the kitchen well equipped. The jungle in the backyard is great! We spotted hummingbirds and iguanas on the property.

    We booked a cabin with a kitchen - which turned out to be a separate cabin! Everything we needed was there - including basic spices and ground coffee. The blender was amazing - and we had fruit smoothies for breakfast and fancy fruit drinks after sunset. Because there are no places to eat within walking distance - this worked very well for us. Just one other cabin was occupied during our stay - so it was very quiet. And the beach is indeed within walking distance - and was very nice and relaxing.

    Communication on how to get there & during my stay with Jose was great. It’s located right on the beach, it’s pretty calm & quiet with a nice group of fellow travellers. Functional kitchen & supermarket on the main road where the bus drops you off - which is an easy 10 minute walk.

    I especially loved that the beach was in walking distance, and was almost totally, if not, unoccupied ! And the water/sand gorgeous IMO. Make sure, especially if not vehicle, to walk about 300 yds north to eat at a fonda recessed a tad off the beach. Good food, with excellent prices, and the pino colada was awesome ! Hope it's there while you are. I also loved the simple, outdoor shower; I got much more hot wate there as well. The front deck, with chairs/small table, and hammock was nice too.The grounds were quiet overall too.
