Patty and Rudys' condo at Amador Hieghts is in the perfect location to get you anywhere you want to go! A two minute walk takes you to the causeway and a beautiful view of the bridges of America. The causeway offers an abundance of restaurants,hustle and bustle on the water as you watch the ships coming and going through the canal and tours are offered and executed here as well...eliminating any worry of transportation to and from your days plans! Our stay at this condo was the most relaxing and comfortable time we could have imagined. Everything you would need is provided...beautiful new appliances,washer,dryer,coffee maker/grinder,blender,microwave,pots,pans,spices...etc. Very spacious and inviting with huge windows for a view,tiled floors,double sinks and glass enclosed shower,king size bed so comfortable you will find it hard to want to get up!!! Two air condition units provide a comfort of your choice as well as a huge flat screen tv in the bedroom and smaller one mounted in the living room.. The roof top terrace is an excellent place to be to relax and have a beautiful view of the surrounding area while you enjoy a cool drink. We didn't use the exercise equipment but it was available and in perfect shape inside the doors off the terrace. The condo is attended 24/7 by guards and a video system is state of the art offering the utmost security available. We never had any worrys about our safety in the least. Rudy manages the tours that are available in and around Panama. He is extremely knowledgeable and proud of his country and will not hesitate to offer you all you want to know and is able to offer answers to all that you inquire about. Patty was available as well and returned numerous e mails in regards to questions about tours or places we wanted to see...as far as which places would offer the best for our interest. Patty was right on the money in all the advice we were fortunate to get from her. Angelica, the maid for Patty and Rudy's condos, has magical powers when it comes to 'sparkling" up every surface in the place as well as leaving us with crisp, clean bed sheets and laundry every week. As you can tell...we can't say enough about our hosts and our accommodations. When we return we WILL stay here...again and agin ...if possible!! We stayed here for 6 weeks and have not one complaint! Not often one can state that.

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.

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

Condo Stay

Guest: Future Retirees from Oregon (Oregon)
Date of Stay: 04/13/11 Review Submitted: 05/15/11

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.

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

If you are offered this property in Amador Heights, take it. It's awonderful place with every convenience and very nicely decorated.There is also a a roof top eating area plus some exercise equipment. If you would like a tour guide, Patty's husband can accommodate you, He is very knowledgeable about all of Panama. I really enjoyed visiting the Embera Village with him. The people are very pleasant and live most simply. Again, if you have the chance, please rent the apartment in Amador Heights. You will be most happy. patricia

Just rented the condo for 22 days & it was awesome... the perfect location for us, close to downtown & to our friends in Chorerra. Condo neighbors are quiet & street noise is not bad--save for an occasional bus blaring music at night. A pair of Keel-billed Toucans frequents the grounds daily, their approach made evident by their characteristic croaking calls. Exceeded our expectations as we are light sleepers & had no problems crashing at night. Both ACs & all appliances work perfectly! No need to park in garage as parking outside is safe & easier. We'll be back soon!

Owner response:Looking forward to seeing you again in December!!!

Had another fantastic stay at Patty and Rudy's beautiful condo in Amador and to add to the ambience a new couch (sofa) just arrived. In the evening the lights of Panama City and Casco Viejo area are spectacular and you are a short walk to viewing some of the large freighters and cruise ships entering towards the canal; a pleasant bicycle (two provided) ride or a short inexpensive taxi ride along the causeway to wonderful restaurants with city views or just a taxi ride to the city for even more great dining choices. The Bridge of Life Museum of Biodiversity that is under construction and scheduled to open in 2010 is also within walking distance. The day trip to the Embera Indian Village was an exceptional cultural experience, especially with Rudy's translation skills...looking forward to more of his tours next visit. Unlike a hotel it was comforting to know that they are available to assist if needed. Thank you for another wonderful Panama stay. Sherrie

Wow, what a beautiful condo! What more can I say? My husband and I stayed one week, and felt at home. Every thing plus some extra's were in this condo, the view was incredible, and the location second to none. Rudy took us on a day tour to the rainforest, and we loved him so much we hired him the next day! There were four of us, and we were a handful! Cant thank him enough for his wonderful sense of humor. Next time we are in Panama, we will be reserving with Patty! Thank you all! We feel like family!

We had a great stay in Panama City and we would definately recommend this apartment! Spotlessly clean, very well furnished and in a great location. The apartment in located in one of the nicest (and safest) areas of Panama City near the start of the causeway - plenty of restaurants and places to walk, it's safe to walk around even after dark. Great views over the water to the old town and beyond to the new highrise towereblocks. A short taxiride (about $3) to Albrook (airport or shopping mall), Metropolitan Park (lots of birds and wildlife) and the old town. The apartment is immaculately decorated, two TVs, PC, great shower, airconditioning, nice kitchen and VERY comfortable large bed. Rudy was very helpful and prompt with our transfers and we enjoyed our trip with him to Pipeline Road / Soberania National Park for some wildlife spotting. Thanks Patty and Rudy for helping to make our stay so enjoyable, Steve and Angela

Patty and Rudy.... We want to thank you both for a wonderful stay. Patty.... the condo far exceeded our expectations and is the best by far of any we have rented during our many trips. Rudy's tours are second to none and he went out of his way to ensure that we had enjoyable and educational trips. Thank you both again and we highly recommend your services. We will definitely stay with you again on our next rip to Panama. Ed and Olive

Owner response:We are surely looking forward to having you stay with us again and enjoyed very much your company:-) We wish you a wonderful vacation in Europe, Patty & Rudy

I stayed in Patti and Rudy's apartment in February 2008. The apartment is superbly furnished everything you will ever need is there. Living there brought back fond memories when I was a US Marine stationed at Fort Amador in the 50's. This apartment is probably the finest I rented in my travels throughout the world. Patti and Rudy are great hosts. Highly recommend to anyone.

Owner response:Thank you Ken...would love to have you back as you were the perfect guest;-) Patty

We stayed in the Amador apartment for a month in 2007. It was excellent - very high quality fittings & furnishings. As location-independent & travelling professionals, it's important to us to stay somewhere comfortable and well-equipped and this apartment had everything we needed & more. The bathroom & bedroom are especially nice! Staying near the Amador Causeway means you are close to a very beautiful part of Panama City and the fact that 2 bikes are provided with the apartment is an extra bonus - we loved our daily bike rides along the causeway. The hosts - Patty & Rudy - are great. Fluent in lots of languages and friendly & helpful - we will definitely stay with them again. Thank you for making our stay so enjoyable & easy.
