Oceanfront Luxury In A 5-Star Resort

I had an amazing stay here!! Me and a friend stayed for 6 days and we were not disappointed with the property and amenities! The view is the most breathtaking panoramic view that I’ve seen in a long time, and I looked forward to waking up every day and just taking it all in. The staff at the front desk was always pleasant and welcoming, and our host was also gracious. There was almost nothing that we had to contact her about, and it made for a relaxing stay. It was awesome to be able to walk next door to the Westin and utilize their pools and restaurants, but the local food in the city stole our hearts. The only hiccup was the construction that they were doing on the property that woke me up from a nap a couple times, but I think it was due to the earthquake they had before we came, so it in no way gave me any bad feelings about this property. I would come and stay again in a heartbeat, I miss the view already!

Enjoyed staying at the Casa Bonita for a week on the 19th floor. View were awesome! Condo had very good air conditioning and everything was very well organized. Would recommend stay at this location if you like to taste Panama life while being able to relax in country setting. Also have the Westin Playa next store for meals was a plus. Blessings

Yes, a bit disorienting, but from the 19th floor condo we rented at Casa Bonita the sun rose over the Pacific. we were two mature couples traveling together and lucky enough to stay at this beautiful apartment high above the Pacific and the entrance to the Panama Canal. Morning coffee on the terrace was a real treat. The Panamanian "eagles" (a.k.a. buzzards) actually glided in the air currents below us as we watched ships exiting the Canal and others awaiting their turn to enter. The facilities available to us as short term renters were amazing: pools, gyms, a day spa, sauna, hot tub, and several restaurants, not to mention the beach with kayaks and paddle boards. The city and the canal visitors' center were just a short drive away for the days we ventured out. The amenities in the unit were high end and comfortable, flat screen tv, wifi, etc., and the property manager was a delight. She was easy to deal with initially and was very available and cooperative while we were there. If I were returning to the area, I would look no further.

My wife and I just got back from a first trip to Panama. We stayed in two different apartments in Casa Bonita, (a long story, to be sure!) a beautiful high rise condo which shares facilities with a Westin and an Intercontinental at Playa Bonita. We were traveling with friends and we all enjoyed the many amenities available to guests, including use of the PoolClub, several swimming pools, the beach, two gyms, sauna, hot tub, etc., etc. The views from our private terrace of the Pacific and the ships exiting and waiting to enter the Canal were amazing. In fact, the views from each and every room were just as grand. We were on floors 13 and 19. The units were both well appointed and comfortable.

What made the stay even better was Melissa, the property manager. She was very easy to work with in arranging the rental and very attentive, available and accommodating when we arrived. Her husband, a personal trainer who does sessions in the 25th floor gym, was an absolute delight, quick to smile and very positive in a low-key way.

The bridge over the Canal into the city proper is a short drive from Playa Bonita. Except for rush hour, when you don't want to be going in or out of the city, the old city and the new first world waterfront are a fifteen to twenty minute drive or available by taxi if you don't want to rent a car.

We really enjoyed being out of the city for the peace and quiet and the amenities offered, yet were close enough to enjoy what the city had to offer. And you couldn't ask for better hosts than these property managers.

Waking up in this condo was an incredible treat! Sunrise Perfection!! Panama City, Bridge of the Americas, Biodiversity Museum, mouth of the Canal, ships lining up, islands, beach, jungle....this unit views it all. Fully furnished and equipped with all you could want (beds are awesome!). Casa Bonita itself is a polished class act for sure, with super friendly staff and all I can say about the property management is WOW!! Melissa and her husband Kleristan are two of the friendliest, most accommodating people we have ever met on a vacation. The restaurants and amenities at the Westin Hotel adjoining the Casa Bonita property were all very good and made for great evenings. Located just a short ride outside the city, we found this place to be a great spot to day trip from and see all the beauty that is Panama!!
