  We had 9 adults and twin 3 year olds and engaged the staff to clean and cook dinners. The whole experience was outstanding. Those who wanted could walk to the hotel and their pools and others could walk to the beach club, both are great. The house is perfect for family gathering in the great room and privicy the way the bedrooms are designed. We have taken our family to a number of fine places and enjoyed each but this is the only one we all voted that we would return. Staff did a great job on the food and the family enjoyed the service. The house pool and outside amenities were very enjoyable for party or rest. You can't go wrong with this choice. Be sure to have them pick you up at the airport it much easier than driving yourself. The listing was accurate and the photos did not show the place as nice as it actually was. The house was in excellent shape and was kept very clean. The owner was most helpful in arranging canal tours and airport pick-up service as well as answering any questions and requests.

  We rented this house for a friends reunion with the idea that we could ALL be in the same place. It turned out to be the ideal place, with 7 spacious bedrooms and space for adults and children to be together and separate at the same time, each with their own space but in the same house. The house itself provides all that you need, so much that we did not leave the place while we were there! We did not even go to the beach, the pool is just enough! The house is very clean and is well kept and maintained by very good and efficient staff. While we were there, all the staff were very helpful and attentive. We asked for the butler/cook service and Pepe was awesome cooking everything we asked him with the grocery items we bought. Including the perfect pinas coladas! This is the perfect house you need for small or large groups. You can be with a big group but you can rest assure that you won't hear the noise in your bedroom. The house was so well planned and designed, the owner make sure all details were taken into account. Every room and every space was just perfect: size, furniture, finishes, amenities and decoration. The sound system is just what you need with the option to regulate the noise separately in the house or pool area. I highly recommend this house... Thanks to the owner for letting us rent this house for our perfect memorable meeting with our friends!

  A group of 7 of us had the pleasure of staying at Alfredo's Buenaventura home for 3 nights (May 2011). We utterly enjoyed our stay and hope to come back soon. The estate is beautifully maintained and the staff was incredible - very helpful, hard working, and incredibly friendly. We had a couple meals a day prepared for us and we enjoyed every one of them. The owner, Alfredo, was extremely nice, accomodating and helpful and assisted in planning every detail of the vacation. Our favorite activities were the zip lines in the Panama Rain Forest, and Jet Ski Tours off the Buenaventura coastline. The golf carts were terrific for going to the beach club, hotel, beach and small store. The private pool and outdoor palapa were the highlights. The pool is huge, warm and gorgeous! It is perfect for adults and children of all ages. The house even came with an outstanding, sweet black lab Rex...who loves to play, fetch balls, and absorb lots of petting. The home is very close to the gorgeous Bristol hotel, where we were able to access their pool, beach and gym. We highly recommend this property to anyone.

  Outstanding and pure luxury are the only words that can describe this house and the experience that you get from staying there. The listing you see is humble, as the reality is far more impressive than what is described.The house was immaculately clean, the staff were brilliant and the Butler was beyond helpful and accommodating - especially his cooking. Whether you are staying there as a family or with friends - the house warms you from the moment you walk through the door. The owner was extremely helpful in answering all of our questions with prompt responses and informative information. The use of the golf cart etc was an added bonus as you can easily navigate the area and visit the local supermarket, hotel and gain super quick access to the beach. If you are looking for a house in Buenaventura - then there is NO other house to consider. We will definitely be returning as this is one of the most relaxing and wonderful weekends we have had - even compared to the worlds most luxurious hotels. Perfect is a word that comes to mind.

  This property was perfect for our women's beach getaway. The owner was very helpful in arranging a preview of the house before our rental week. The house was everything we wanted and more. The kitchen has everything you need, the indoor and outdoor dining areas had ample space for us all to be together. The pool is divine, especially for swimming at night under the stars. The covered rancho had lots of comfortable seating. All of the bedrooms were well-appointed and clean. The staff makes sure that everything is exactly as you want it. Pepe is a wonderful house manager and butler. He went above and beyond to find a missing pan that we had brought with us. None of us wanted to leave!!

  We stayed at this gorgeous property for 9 nights (March 12-21, 2011) and we didn't want to leave! The estate is beautifully maintained and the staff was incredible. We had three meals a day prepared for us and we LOVED every one of them. The owner is so nice and helpful with planning every detail of the vacation. He arranged tours for us...Panama Canal and El Valle Arts & Crafts Market. Both are not to miss, especially with the fantastic tour guide, Juan. We didn't even need our own rental cars. The golf carts were terrific for going to the beach club, hotel, beach and small store. The private pool and outdoor palapa were the highlights. The pool is huge, warm and gorgeous! It is perfect for adults and children of all ages. The outdoor palapa has couches, dining tables and hammocks where our whole group of 15 comfortably gathered most days and evenings. The house even came with the sweetest, mellow-mannered black lab, Rex. We miss you Rex! And the friendly parakeets and parrots were delightful to listen to and interact with while relaxing in the hammocks under the palapa. We would highly recommend this property to anyone. It was such a pleasure meeting the owner and the staff and staying at this fine estate.

  Though it seems impossible, this house was even more beautiful and luxurious than it even appears in the photos. With more than enough room to house a large party comfortably, we never even had a chance to properly explore the surrounding beach areas because we were so content to enjoy the amenities available at the house itself. The staff is extremely helpful in ensuring a relaxing stay for you and your guests and are also made exceptional meals from our sparse assortment of grocery items. I highly recommend this house!

  I went with my extended family here for a week in Jan, the ages in our group aged form 2.5yrs old to 80yrs old. Not only was the house spectacular from comfy beds to the perfect lay out, but the staff was amazing making sure the house was spotless and the food perfect. if you want a house with hotel facilities but with the wonderful feel of your own home this is it. having the hotel right there was great for the kids as they used the beach club, the sports facilities and the kids club almost every day, also the restaurants where fun for dinners and lunches. the gown ups did also sneak to the hotel bar for some amazing cocktails at night! the lay out of the rooms let some people have privacy in the casita and avoid the kids but they still felt part of it all. the owner and his family are lovely people and went beyond the call of duty to make our trip easy and perfect. i do advise anyone going to make sure you go to El Valley and eat at the owners friends restaurant. also the zoo is so cute for the kids. the only thing to fault is that we had to leave so soon, 1 week was not long enough I can not wait to go back as this place is worth visiting again and again.

  We spent 3 truly fabulous evenings in this spectacular home in July 2010. The amazing layout, features, pools, and high end finishes of this one-of a kind home located in a prime location in the beautiful and prestigious Buenaventura beach resort complex combined with the attentive but non-obtrusive staff and gracious owner made this a very memorable experience for our family and the friends that joined us. I can highly recommend this home to even the most discriminating visitor to beautiful Buenaventura beach. Bustamante family, Fairfax, Virginia

  Best house available near Panana City. The attention and the elegance of design and decoration is second to none. A virtual fantasy island for those who desire the best.
