Let us show you our Panama by given you tips on our favorite restaurants or the places not to be missed…our priority is to make you Panama adventure an unforgettable one;-)
Why the Owner Chose Panama City
We chose to purchase this property due to its great location and amazing view. The condo is at the entrance of the Panama Canal minutes walk from the beautiful Causeway where you can cycle (free use of bicycles), jog and just admire the views. It’s a 2 min’s ride from the soon to be finished Museum of Biodiversity build by the famous architect Franck Gehry and all the little islands where you’ll find a wide selection of restaurants and cafés. And it is also a 2 min’s ride from the biggest shopping mall in Central America and 5 min’s to the banking district and the colonial neighborhood. The Bridge of the Americas is 2 min’s away so easy access to the interior…no need to drive through traffic!
Not to mention that you are surrounded by a lush vegetation and wild life like Toucan families.
It’s a perfect Holiday spot…and we have taken great care of making the condo as cozy as possible with high end amenities.

What a wonderful place to stay

We were met at the airport and taken directly to the Condo, with a running dialog along the way which piqued our interest. Upon arrival we were ever so pleasantly surprised at the amentities presented and the comfort provided by our hosts. Not only was there internet access, but also a cell phone provided for our use during the stay. The accomodations were most comfortable, and a washer & dryer provided en suite! The fact that the Condo is within walking distance of some very nice restaurants, and the causeway, and the availabilty of taxis any time of the day was a bonus. We pre booked tours according to our desires, and the expertise of Rudy's knowledge of the areas history enabled us to learn quite a bit while enjoying the sites he was showing us. The fact that there were just 2 couples plus the guide on most tours (and just us 2 on others) made it a more hands on experience. It is hard to figure which adventure was the best (although the Zip Line had to be in the top 2) - so will have to rank them all in the top 10! We would highly recommend our adventures to our friends and family, and we too hope to return in the future and explore some more.

We stayed at the condo and had a wonderful time. The condo was nicer than we thought it would be and had every amenity you would ever want. Wonderful bathroom and a kithen if you wanted to cook. We walked to the restaurants and Taxi's were very easy to get from there. The owner's Rudy and Patty were absolutely fabulous to deal with and both spoke english, so they were able to answer all our questions and really went out of there way to be helpful. I highly recommend this to anyone wanting a great place to stay.

This condo is much better than the humble description lets on. It is beautiful, first of all, with high ceilings, AMAZING view, tasteful design, super clean, and comfortable. My husband and I both agree the photos in this posting don't even do this place justice. Patty and Rudy have thought of everything. They go above and beyond to make you feel welcome and taken care of... providing a land line phone, cell phone, and computer with internet access! They even have laminated cards that you can carry with you if you need to know how to explain directions back to the condo to a cab driver. It's also a really good deal, price-wise. There is a hotel very close by... which costs much more, yet doesn't have the gorgeous views of the city skyline or all the amenities that Patty & Rudy provide. When we go back to Panama City, we will absolutely stay here again.

The hostess and host - Patty & Rudy will make you feel welcome right away should you choose to have them pick you up at the airport and when you arrive at your lovely and peaceful casita you will know you made the right choice. My husband and I spent 6 days recently at this upscale condo and it was hard to tear ourselves away as it felt like home. I highly recommend you book in now. Shalom ~ Karen & Joel of Albuquerque USA

We found Patty's Casitas and Rudy's Tours from a friends referral. Look no further if your desire is to be treated special while in Panama. Patty and Rudy are the BEST. They operate from a base of 100% integrity, honesty and customer service. Wonderful, wonderful people and incredible hosts. And Rudy as a tour guide is the best--besides his incredible knowledge of Panama one thing that impressed me the most was he willing would say I don't know BUT then would find the answer and always got back to us. Patty & Rudy get 2000% Gold Star scoring.

don't look elsewhere just stay here and be 200% satisfied. we traveled around and stayed a few nights in other areas in Panama- all we wanted was to go back "home" to Pattys place. We love nature and were so lucky to have tucans right outside our bedroom window- we had bikes and went to causeway, taxis were available when we needed them. I feel so lucky to have picked this condo-land line, cell phone, computer. cant say enough about how at home you will feel. we will go back soon and stay for one month exactly at this place. thank you patty & rudy!

My husband and I have traveled to many places, Europe, Mexico, Central and South America, but staying in Patty and Rudy's condo was the best! It is in a beautiful area, very safe with a breathtaking view. The condo was excellent, with everything you could possibly need on a trip-internet, complete kitchen and appliances, extremely comfortable king size bed, large bathroom, tvs, dvd and cd. We did not want to leave! Patty and Rudy ALWAYS responded to any needs or questions we had. We highly recommend their condo and tours!

This condo is very well appointed from linens to kitchen utensils to communication technology. The location was great for walking or biking on the Amador Causeway with a broad selection of restaurants near by. Days trips outside of the city were quick because we didn't have to transit through city traffic. Patty and Rudy were very prompt in responding to our emails before the visit and made sure that everything was okay while we were there. Rudy's tour services are certainly worthwhile, whether you want a short overview of the city for a few hours or an attentive guide for each day of your stay. We highly recommend this and their other properties.

I don't know where to begin except to say that these are the finest accommodations that I have ever had ANYWHERE in my world travels. Rudy and Patty treat you like family. I was hesitant to travel to Panama on my own but they made sure that I was always able to contact them if need be. I will be back and stay in their other facilities and if you are thinking of traveling on your own...don't think twice JUST DO IT
