BEACH FRONT HOUSE SURROUNDeD BY 2 PRIVATE BEACHES

This was an incredible stay with so many lovely preparation of meals from Lucy and Jose. They were helpful and so thoughtful. We rested, relaxed, and spent leisurely days being together as a family. If only this happened more often! What a great trip. I am sad it ended so soon. Thank you to a wonderful host, Leticia, who went above and beyond helpful.

The property was stunning and the staff was amazing. Every meal prepared by the staff was better than the next.

A beautiful beachfront property with hammocks, snorkeling, kayaks and a lovely staff to prepare meals made this the ideal location for our family Christmas holiday.

My wife and I, our 4 kids (4-9), as well as their grandmother, all traveled to Palenque and stayed at the home of Leticia and Hernan. We have traveled to many countries across the Caribbean and in Central America, but this was our first trip to Panama. Communication with Leticia leading up to the stay was fantastic. We had an unexpected family emergency come up days before our trip, and they were very accommodating to our needs. More than they had to be in my opinion, and for that we will always consider them to be our friends in Panama. Our children cried after having to leave our new friends. As for the property, it met and exceeded all of our expectations. It is lovely, and very peaceful. No noise of traffic, no interruptions, just the sound of the waves, and an occasional howling monkey to joyfully wake us in the morning. The home is situated perfectly on the lot, taking in views in three directions that are breathtaking at sunrise and sunset. For a family with young children, the water depth is a big plus. Plenty of areas for the kids to play in the water safely. My wife and I enjoyed the opportunity to walk and run on the property and incorporate our fitness routines into the stay. The staff all did a great job. Dayra, Sere, and Abel were very helpful in the home. Fantastic meals, cleanliness, laundry, and most importantly for us their patience with young children. It was fun to see them share in the joy of our son catching his first fish on his own with no help from Dad, as well as many other fun memories that we will always cherish. Yuzed assisted us with driving and seeing the real Panama. I appreciated his attention to safety for the kids, and for his patience in understanding my broken Spanish. He took us to places that I would have never expected to see on a tour offered by an agency. We loved that. As with Leticia and Hernan, we will always consider all of the staff to be our friends in Panama. Their culture is fantastic. There truly is something wonderful in the air. We found them to be joyful and patient, having faith in everything coming together as expected. On our first day at lunch we saw a sign that said The Art of Slow hanging above a bar. How true indeed. A nice change of pace for us, and a message we took away and will not forget. Thank you to Leticia and Hernan and to all of their staff for making our vacation to Palenque one we will always remember with affection. God Bless you all.

Leticia and the house staff thought of EVERYTHING to make our stay relaxing and enjoyable! Some of the things we liked best -- The air conditioning in the rooms was so nice at night...having all our meals prepared (recommend this!)...games (like croquet!) and water things to enjoy the ground...seeing monkeys/sloths!...the hammocks and cushioned chairs...listening to the waves all day!! While in Panama - also recommend visiting San Blas islands. We can't wait to visit Panama again!

Five stars just does not do this place justice. If you’re looking for a beach and ocean vacation off the beaten path (it is quite and adventure of a drive from Panama City but worth every minute once you get there) for family or a group, then this is the place! Our family, total of 6 adults, spent 10 days in this amazing location and rarely wanted to leave. While there is not much around the place, we didn’t want for anything. From the ease of communicating with Leticia, to the wonderful service from Mary Carmen, Darya and Anel who live on the property and are there for anything you need, even anticipating things before we even knew we wanted them. Having them cook meals for you is a must since the food was delicious and who doesn’t want to just enjoy your holiday and not worry about meals. Food just magically appears every meal time with a different unique place setting each time. The wood fire pizza, huge hamburgers, local Panama cuisine, fish and an unforgettable 20lb turkey perfectly cooked for our Christmas meal. The only disappointment we had was leaving this beautiful setting. Leticia arranged a couple of day tours to Isla Grande, Portobello and a driver to take us around since most things are an hour or two away. If you want to relax listening to the waves and hanging out in a hammock feeling cool ocean breezes to cool you and refreshing in outdoor shower after playing in the ocean or being in the sun all day. We even had a masseuse come to the home and six of us enjoyed massages outside under the big tree wirh the ocean sounds. There was too many good things to write about for our Christmas 2022 vacation. We have traveled all over the world and stayed in many destination locations but this one ranks up there and we will definitely be coming back again. Thanks to Leticia and her team for an amazing time in paradise!

We really nice time! We were a family of 10. Getting the meals is a must, excellent, well cooked food from scratch by Mary Carmen. Lovely setting a great place to unplug and relax. We went to Portobelo for the day and had a boat tour, we really enjoyed that as well. Communication with the owner was great.

The property is an absolute gem for those looking for total relaxation. The house sits ten steps from a tranquil ocean cove (actually, two separate coves). The calm lagoon, protected from winds by an outer reef, is excellent for snorkelling, with good opportunities for close-up encounters with fascinating marine creatures. Night snorkelling is simply outstanding. A good walking trail is just behind the house; monkeys and macaws visit nearby trees daily. The villa staff lives in a small house nearby. And they are amazing people. They never disturb you when you want your privacy but magically appear when you need help. I would highly suggest everyone pre-order a meal service: it is delicious, plentiful, and nicely served. The owners, Leticia and Hernan, are a delight to communicate with, giving you a feel of being almost a member of a family. I will highly recommend this one-of-a-kind place without any hesitation.

The one and only problem with our trip was we only booked the stay for 5 nights! We were concerned that our parents would have trouble getting around the property so we shortened the stay. Mistake! They have set this place up for just about anyone! The staff is amazing as we wanted for nothing the entire trip…like staying at a 5 Star resort and getting a butler. Food was amazing and staff was perfect! Could not ask for better views or clearer water. Thank you Leticia and Hernan for having such a beautiful place! My wife and I will be back and look forward to seeing your other properties!

A breathtaking property with everything you need to enjoy nature, sea and wonderful family times. Good for all ages! Peaceful and joyful at the same time.
