My wife and I stayed here Oct. 1 thru 15 on a property hunting trip to the Gorgona/Coronado area. We were in no way disappointed in the property, it was as described. The grounds are beautiful and well maintained and the pool clean. Dimas, the caretaker was extremely helpful and friendly. The unit has air conditioners, but we never used them; just not needed during the rainy season.
Please keep in mind this is not a luxury condo; but if you want a clean, safe and reasonably priced place to stay, this fits the bill. Panama is an outdoor place, you won't want to spend a lot of time indoors. The ocean view from the pool is fantastic and if you want the beach it is a short walk away. If you aren't the walking type, you can easily drive right to the beach and park.
We didn't use the cooking facilities, because frankly it is very inexpensive to eat in restaurants. There are numerous restaurants in the area and you MUST go to La Ruina Tavern for a meal and cold beer (google it).
A note about the roads. The last quarter mile is a dirt road, that can get bumpy. This is NOT unique to this property. If you are contemplating staying inside Coronado, I guarentee you from previous experience that you will have to drive farther on worse roads. That being said, don't get talked into needing an SUV if you are renting a car, you can get around just fine with an economy car.
Mayela, the property manager, was very helpful and has perfect English. She was always available by phone (use the provided cell phone) or email. The wireless internet functioned well, no problems at all. The owner is very honest in describing this as best suited for 1 - 2 adults. It would be quiet cramped for two couples. We would definately consider staying here again on our next visit.
Notice I gave the property an excellent. I did this based on price, expectations based on owners description and previous experiences with rentals.
