We arrived at Tom and Karen’s condo on April 7th 2019 and stayed in their well-appointed condo for 3 wonderful weeks. Our son, daughter-in-law and grandchildren joined us for one week and there was more than ample room. The condo was everything that Tom and Karen said it would be and more. The condo is beautifully decorated with local Indigenous art. All the appliances worked perfectly. Made use of all the amenities of the building, including fitness room, great pool overlooking the ocean and, yes, even an elevator to bring you to the beautiful black sand beach that sparkles like diamonds. It provided hours of fun for our granddaughter who collected shells.
You can hear the sound of the waves throughout the condo. We literally took all our meals outside on the balcony. The views are breathtaking and always a nice breeze from the ocean to make al fresco dining comfortable. The BBQ was much appreciated.
Great local restaurants and convenience stores at walking distance. Quite a great selection of supermarkets and restaurants 10 minutes away by car in Coronado, including Reba Smith a supermarket who carries specialty items for diabetics and celiac clients.
Tom and Karen had recommended a driver to bring us to and from the airport, Byron Moscoso. He is a kind and well-versed chauffeur that speaks English very well and his passionate about his beautiful country. He took us as well for a one day excursion to the historic Old City of Panama and Miraflores.
We rented a car from Coronado Car Rentals at Tom’s recommendation. It worked out beautifully and strongly recommend it. The family excursion to El Valle was definitely a highlight and is less than 1 hour by car from the condo. The Rio Hato fish market is a great place to go to buy fresh fish and seafood and local produce. Very inexpensive.
From the moment we booked the condo back in June 2018, Tom and Karen responded quickly to all our queries. We have stayed in many VRBO properties in Europe and Mexico, and this one is definitely among the best. Thanks Tom and Karen for everything. Michel Smith and Danielle Martel
