All we can really say is AS GOOD AS IT GETS! Panama Sarah, the owner, and the manager, Jose, were just beyond expectations! LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION!! Wow! Fabulous view...incredible view. Great LOCATION to everything! The balcony was just perfect..we used it everyday! the night city light views were postcard perfect. The condo is spacious. We used the kitchen a lot. We entertained our Panama friends, who were also very impressed with the location and the view! Very easy to get around town. Jose went way beyond the call of duty. He picked us up at the airport on time...also, dropped us off at the airport on our return back to Dallas. He was such a joy. If you want the STEAL OF THE YEAR, this is the ONLY condo you need to look at. It is simple and clean inside, but very nice. The bathroom has been remodeled, and was nice. It's just a really perfect place to stay while you enjoy lovely Panama, and it's beyond reasonable! Thank you Sarah and Jose! We both look forward to staying in your wonderful condo again soon! Best Wishes, Sandy & Henry

We enjoyed staying in this wonderful apartment. Found it to be extremely clean and had all the necessary items in place. Very spacious and the view is to dream about in years to come. Better yet, the location is ideal for travelers to the city. Every important location is nearby. The staff is exceptionally polite and eager to please. We shall return often.

Owner response:Thank you so much Roger and Gaby, so wonderful to meet both of you.. we will be awaiting your return :) Sarah

We actually stayed in the 16th floor apartment, also managed by Sarah. We stayed the first week of our 2 week trip in the city and this apartment was a welcome change compared to a hotel. Jose was on the airport right on time to pick us up. The view is just awesome from this building, even better than the next door hotel. The building is located in a good and safe neighborhood, close to a commercial center. It is also still a good location to visit the tourist attractions, since taxis are not too expensive. Thanks for a wonderful stay in Panama city! Jos and Oraina - Curacao

Beautiful View

This rental is handled by a team of very competent managers. Our stay would not have been one of the best monthly vacations we have ever engaged in without their care and professional attention to detail. The accommodations were suburb, the balcony is a wonderful place to relax and the location was the “best-of-the-best”. Jose’s introductions to the city and excellent transportation to and from our excursions were invaluable. We are looking forward to returning to this rental again.

We liked the apartment location, decoration, cleaningness, space and the view. We also liked your "Manual" with the general information. It is very helpful. Even though I had troubel with the @ instructions. The wifi worked perfectly and is very fast. That was a plus to stay connected with the office. You are right, the A/C is hardly needed. The apartment is really airy and the breeze is great! The cel phone is a wonderful asset. We will go back to Panama and will contact you for our accommodations and will definately reccommend your property and services.

Owner response:Thanks for your kind words Lourdes, we hope to see you back in Panama soon! Warm regards, Sarah

I stayed in this property for 3 nights and from the moment I arrived I loved it. The view is fantastic, the balcony makes the best out of it, to relax, read a book, or to just look at the traffic and buildings. The place was very clean and is well decorated, one of the best beds I have ever slept in. The shower is great and it is very nice to have internet and a cell phone available. The location of the apartment is very good. Close to the supermarket and a big shopping mall, on walking distance. Taxis are plenty here to get to wherever you want in the city. The surroundings are safe to walk day and night. A nice walk next to the water makes it even more perfect! Jose picked me up at the airport. His english is very good, which makes it comfortable to get to know things. He talked about the history of panama, very interesting. He showed me the best places to eat, where to go for things. What you can't miss out on. Jose was very helpful. I would recommend this property to anyone. I would rather stay in this place than in a hotel. Don't hesitate to book, the pictures reflect what the place looks like. Great! Thank you for the fantastic stay!

I stayed for 4 days, got a great deal, and a great view! For the price, it was def. better than staying in a hotel. Having the conveniences of home, a computer, kitchen, etc., was nice. Big master bath and shower. I'd do it again!!

I've stayed in Panama many times, mostly in the hotels. Hotels are nice but this is definetely a superior way of enjoying your stay in Panama. The Posada del rey building is located in Paitilla which is the best area to live in P.C in mine opinion. Safe, really nice neighborhood and close to everything. Here you have the incredible view over the bay and over Via Balboa that you can enjoy from the wide open balcony, together with a drink and a very nice friend, - you can't do that in a same way in the hotels. - If you want the malls you got one just around the corner and the biggest and most exlusive a few minutes away. When you feel like going downtown to the bar area, you'll be there in a couple of minutes aswell. Like the previous writer said, it's all about location, and this is really a great location and a great place if you want to be in Panama city!

Comment Rating: positive Comment Text: Thanks for the opportunity to share our fantastic experience at the Posada Del Rey condo. LOCATION, LOCATION,LOCATION! There is absolutely nothing that you desire that isn't within walking distance. And if you don't feel like walking you have a covered, secured parking space tambien (also)! We even picked up some Spanish from the folks who cater to your every need, especially Jose. From the moment he picked us up at the airport we knew we were fortunate. You ask for it, he knows where to send you to get it. One of us has been "a computer expert" for many years and we ran into a problem. Call Jose...he helped in 3 minutes and the expert blushed in shame. Having a computer and internet access is great. Please use Jose for a smooth stay while in Panama. It is his country and he'll make you think it is yours also. Hire him to pick you up after your flight, it makes everything so easy. The Posada has the best view in all of Panama. Even better that el Presidente has in Casco Viejo.(By the way Casco has yummy food and spectacular jazz.) The evening sunset is to "die for" right on your big, cozy balcony. So nice to watch the traffic on Balboa Avenue and not be in it. When others are struggling to get to their evening destinations you can have your wine, tapas and friends in your own space, while watching a big screen plasma T.V.! Get the idea? Then in the evening when you are quietly alone and falling asleep please leave the doors open and feel the bay breeze soothe you. Trust us, you'll be back soon. We are returning in 6 months and may never come back to Atlanta. We offer our thanks to Sarah for sharing her vision. Posada gives you a birdeye view of the splendid city called Panama.. Continued success and see ya soon, Panama!!! Regards, Austin and Phyllis

This was our very first time renting an apartment, and it was the BEST experience ever!!! The view from the balcony is amazing! The people in the building were so nice. This apartment is very close to the Multi Central Mall, there is a grocery store called Super 99 about a 10 min walk away. It is fantastic, we had no problems and the owner of the apartment even emailed us during our stay to see how we were doing. We were picked up by a driver named Jose that the owner uses to let us in to the apartment. He was very very nice, and he was there waiting for us at the airport. I felt completely at home and this was one of the first times where I wasn't home sick. I think that had a lot to do with the apartment and of course the people of Panama. I would HIGHLY recommend this apartment to anyone interested, it was clean, cozy and is in the perfect area to access everything! The Multi Plaza is about a 5 min Taxi drive from that area. :) This is much better then staying at a hotel, its like having your own home in Panama.
