Exclusive property for vacation rentals in a safe residential gated community. Ideally located whether you are on business or vacation. Stay in Panama's natural beauty only 10 minutes from the banking district, but worlds away in the serenity of our exclusive neighborhood, designated Cerro Ancon National Park by Panama in 1997. Sightseeing and hiking right from the front door up to the top of Ancon Hill. Close to shopping, the Canal, waterfront restaurants, and much more. No better location to enjoy your special vacation in Panama. Why stay in the "concrete jungle" of downtown Panama City with all the chaos and noise from lots of smokey diesel trucks & buses? You can see that in any downtown city!
We offer 8 units, four large 4 bedroom 2 1/2 bath apartments and three studio apartments, and one regular hotel style room with a bath. All fully furnished and custom decorated in tropical theme. Totally renovated not long ago. Each 4 bedroom apartment (sleeps up to 10) has 14 large windows with beautiful tropical views out of every one. The kitchen is fully stocked and equipped with fridge/freezer, ice maker, gas stove with full size oven, microwave, toaster/oven, coffee-maker, spice-rack and everything you need to prepare you own fresh meal (Panama has the best and freshest seafood, vegetables, fruits and meats in the world). Or, hire a maid/cook to prepare your meal and clean up for you...all for @$25+ a day!
The four studio apartments sleep 4 guests easily in this 650 sq. ft. ground floor unit with kitchenette, fridge/freezer, 2 burner cook-top, toaster oven, coffee maker, apartment phone plus a cell phone for your use in Panama, and more. Studio has 2 large windows with same beautiful views.
Take a nap in one of the hammocks in the gazebo out back, grill some fresh seafood or steak fillet (tenderloin) on the large stainless steel barbeque grill, and take a swim in our custom private pool with waterfall/fountain.
We can get you discounts on Panama tours, fishing and at some of the best restaurants in Panama.

Map & Owner's Profile
4 BR Tropical Paradise in a National Park Within Panama City!
Year Purchased: 2004
Why the Owner Chose Panama City
We bought this property primarily because of it's very special location, in a gated small exclusive neighborhood with 24 hr security at the front gate. Another special feature is the ability to accommodate large groups by having eight apartments i the building.
The Unique Benefits at this Apartment
My wife and 2 kids LOVE spending at least a month in Panama each summer. They would rather live there than where we live, but work and school will not allow it right now. Everyday spent at PVQ is really special, and it is by far the best property and location to stay while visiting Panama.
This is where the Panama flag is located, right above PVQ. It can be seen from almost anywhere for 20 miles, making it very easy to find your way back to PVQ. It's a beautiful nature walk up to the top of Ancon Hill.

I want to say thank you to the staff at the Panama Vacation Quarters for making our eleven day stay in the country very relaxing & stress-free! We stayed in a four bedroom/2.5 bath apartment which was great for our 9 person group. The location of the apartments is ideal since it's in the middle of the old Canal Zone and the City. We appreciated the peace and quiet while enjoying the pool and hammocks outside!! The walk up to ancon Hill is a must see as you can see the City skyline, which is gorgeous at night!! It was very nice to have Karolina as an English-speaking resource during our stay. She was great! The maid service and maintenance service was also wonderful! They were very nice and our needs were handled daily! We appreciated the laundry service. It was wonderful to have the WiFi service and sky TV too!! And the use of a Panama cell phone was so ideal as we used this during our stay to contact our drivers without having to use our us cell phones. What a great service! Our group would highly recommend this location to anyone wanting to visit Panama! We will definitely stay there again during our next visit. Kuddos to the staff and owners for being so helpful in reserving the apartment and also making our vacation so enjoyable! Thank you!!

I want to personally thank Bob and Karolina for their tremendous support as we stayed at PVQ during for 8 days. We had a group of 17 and we utilized two four bedroom condos. The owner was incredible and stayed in contact with us up until arrival. Then Karolina took over and if there was anything we needed she gladly made it happen. The property is on Ancon Hill. A short walk to the top and you get breathtaking views of Old Panama, the new Panama City plus a great view of the Canal area. The condo's were perfect for us after a long day at work. The bedrooms were spacious, the bathrooms large with tile everywhere, and the kitchen and living area were great. The pool was refreshing at the end of the day and the grills in the back under the tiki huts were utilized for some great barbeques a couple nights during the week. You are just five minutes from the Armador Causeway with a beautiful view of the skyline of the city. Simply put, PVQ is in the center of everything. Thank you again and when we come back, PVQ is the place.

I have stayed in a lot of places in Panama, but the PVQ is the best, best location, best value, best service. Karolina and her staff have been so accommodating, its the little things they do at the PVQ that made my vacation so enjoyable..... having a cell phone for the unit, in house laundry service, full kitchen and Wi-Fi. The gas grill was a great help for our fresh fish one night. I can't say enough.

The 4 bedroom 21/2 bath was [perfect for our group of 5. I was born in the Canal Zone and brought my Duke Collage classmates to see my “home”. Everything was perfect for us, and we loved every minute of our journey. The location on Ancon Hill was good to get wherever we needed to go. The limo driver was wonderful to help us to and from the Airport. Mrs. Karolina was fabulous to assist us in any way possible. Housekeeping was terrific. We really enjoyed PVQ! Thanks to everyone!

My family (including an 8 and 5 year old) recently stayed at PVQ in a studio apartment for a week. There was plenty of room for us all to stay comfortably. The kitchenette was well-equiped with a microwave, toaster oven, and double-burner hot plate. The facility and grounds were very clean and manicured. The location could not have been better! Ancon hill—further up is a great view of the canal and city, down the hill is Napoli pizza (famous among the Pacific Zonians!). You can also walk to the Administration Building and the town of Balboa (Niko’s café for ice cream!). We would definitely stay here again. Everyone was so helpful and friendly at PVQ; and, we loved its location.

Our group of 7 rented an apartment and the lower efficiency aptartment for a two week stay in mid-January. Having both apartments gave us great access to the outside through the shared stairs and a back door in the lower unit. The outdoor grill was a treat to use in January to cook our fresh fish, shrimp or lobster! The staff kept everything stocked, clean and maintained--even with a water main breaking we had water. There was wonderful service from the staff. Karolina was there to make arrangements for what we needed and a great resource for whatever we wanted to know. Joaquin, the gardener, kept the grounds up and was very helpful in showing us where the wildlife could be found, sometimes in our own backyard. The amenities provided by the maid staff were just as they were described in the listing. It was great to have someone available to take care of laundry and cleaning while we were out sight-seeing. Our two weeks there were most relaxing and we felt well cared for. We would definitely go back again and use the PVQ as the home base for our adventures in the area including the hike to the top of Ancon Hill. It was quite a walk but very much worth the view of both oceans when you got to the top. The pool/gazebo area were a welcome place to relax for several in our group when we got back to the apartments. The pictures in the listing show how the apartment and grounds looked very accurately. It's a great place to stay for families and groups of friends. PVQ was our choice because two in our group have stayed there several times while including their children and grandchildren. They were so right to recommend it to us!

2-week Get Away

We really enjoyed our trip to Panama, loved the location of our rental property and all the amenities. The place is clean and well maintained. The only complaint was that the pool was in disrepair. The on-site staff was trying to fix this but due to Panamanian holidays they couldn't find a repairman. We asked for a discount and instead got an offer to cover the costs of entrance to a public pool. That just didn't seem to be a viable option. We wanted a house with a pool, not the same sort of public pool we can get at home. Honestly we selected this property because of the location and the pool. It was disappointing but the pool was fixed in the last two days of our vacation.

Panama Vacation Quarters (PVQ) is best place to stay in Panama! PVQ staff was super-friendly and helpful during our 1-week stay. Karolina (on-site manager) was always ready to help. The accommodations were above our expectations. Everything was very clean. The common area was very quiet and clean. The use of the common area grill (wow! what a grill) made it easy to cook all the fish we caught. The PVQ provided cellphone was OUTSTANDING! We used it routinely to call taxi drivers, make fishing arrangements, and calls to local restaurants. Not much within walking distance, but restaurants, casinos, and nightlife were all within 5-10 minute taxi ride. While in Panama, we went on two deep-sea fishing trips: First trip was on a boat called PLAYMATE. Kind of pricey (just under $2,000 for the day) , but this was a real 48-foot yacht! AC/television/beds/kitchen … Caught lots of Dorado! Boat had an engine problem on way back… Second trip was on a very FAST boat that took us out nearly 70-miles from Panama. CAPT Bill was great! Speaks English and really knows fishing. This cost $1500 for the day. No frills fishing, but really worth it if you are serious! Caught Tuna, Dorado, Amberjack. Website below:

Panama Vacation Quarters is the place to stay while visiting Panama City and the Canal area. We were a group of three middle aged couples traveling to Panama for the first time. We found this apartment on the internet and decided right away that this was where we wanted to stay. The 4 bedroom 2 1/2 bath property is exactly as described. Location, Location, and Location. Oh and by the way Karolina, Delia and Joaquin are very very good at what they do. Thank You Karolina for saving us many times when our taxi was not there. The cell phone that comes with the unit comes in good for this. Bob, Karolina thanks so much for your very professional operation
