The front of the property is a bit dismal...no photo of the construction sites in the listing.
The loft is visually appealing.
However, it is extremely hot due perhaps to all the large windows/patio doors. We were asked to only use the AC for 15 minutes before bed & then just use the fans provided and open windows/doors for a breeze. Unfortunately, the breeze did not blow in those windows. We were uncomfortably hot while in there the entire 2 weeks. & needed AC to sleep. Just not enough when listing says there is air conditioning.
The hot water was off everyday sporadically but manageable.
It is awkward cooking in the unit due to lack of counter space & only having a small bar sink for dishwashing...dinner plates do not fit. There are outdoor cooking facilities, in our case, to share with another unit. It is a little awkward as this unit requires going up & down a spiral outdoor staircase to get in & out.
We left a list of 8 constructive improvements with the owner.
The pool area is beautiful but used by 3 units & the owner. The beach unfortunately has no shade.
The owner lives on site and was informative & cheerful. She also operates a small transportation company which we used for airport transfer, a day tour & trip into Panama City.
A car is really needed in this location otherwise you are restricted to a poolside vacation for a lot of the time.
