    It’s nice directly on the beach. The street to the cottage is not paved. Tv wasn’t working and no hot water the 2nd day.

    I was a UN officer based in Panama. I fell in love with the country and especially with the Caribbean coast and we bought this property in 2020 and fully renovated the place.

    Why they chose this property

    This place is unique if you want to disconnect from the outside. Relax in the beach while drinking coconuts. Enjoy a swim or snorkelling in a very calm sea. Incredible sunrises and sunsets that you wont forget. Listen to the birds, wind and palm trees moving around you. BBQ your way through lunch time on the unique argentinian parrilla in the patio.

    No neighbours nearby will make your stay peaceful and quite.
