★ GYM, GOLF, AND BOAT SLIP ACCESS ★
The exercise equipment, olympic pool, soccer field, tennis, paddleball, and basketball courts, golf club and boat slip amenities are available for an extra fee. Please contact us for details. All amenities pictured in the listing are available free of charge unless noted otherwise.

★ COVID-19 SANITIZATION ★
Heath, safety, and well-being of our guests are of utmost importance. For this reason, we use a thorough cleaning process after each check-out.

★ NO PETS ALLOWED ★
We love those little (and not so little) furry bundles of joy. Sadly, our home is not suitable to accommodate them.

★ NO SMOKING INSIDE ★
Please refrain from smoking inside the home! Any smoking evidence will result in a fee for odor removal, duct cleaning, and furniture cleaning.

★ NO PARTIES/EVENTS ★
We kindly ask you to treat our home as your own to preserve its pristine condition for future guests and your return visits.

★ CHECK-IN / CHECKOUT ★
We appreciate that a 4pm check-in is rather late, and that a 10am check-out is rather early. We need every one of those 6 hours to clean so each guest can be greeted with a spotless home. In fact, we often have to bring in 2 cleaners to get everything ready in that time frame. However, if nobody is leaving or coming the same day, we can sometimes accommodate early check-ins and late checkouts. In those cases, we charge $15/hour.

Note that you can always arrive earlier in Buenaventura and enjoy its amenities before actually checking into the apartment.

Thank you very much for your understanding.

★ HOME AUTOMATION ★
We have installed home automation systems. When any doors or windows are left open for more than 3 minutes, the AC will automatically turn off. Please close the doors and windows before turning the AC back on.

★ NUMBER OF GUESTS ★
All guest fees are automatically included when you book your stay. However, if you accidentally book for too few people, or need to amend your booking to include more guests, we would like to let you know that each guest beyond a party of 6 incurs an extra fee of $28/night.
We will be accessible 24/7 for our guests via phone, text, or the Airbnb app.

We won't be available in person, but we have staff on the ground who will respond promptly. Please contact us with any questions and requests (en Español or English), and we will respond quickly.

Fantastic Condo
This was our second time staying in Buenaventura. This condo was beautifully decorated, located in one of the best locations for families, and was very spacious. The amenities are exactly as the host described and Alexander was available for any questions the entire stay. Our group consisted of a wide age range from young children to grandparents and the condo was perfect for all. It had a wonderfully large outside patio that was just perfect for a morning coffee or to catch a drink in the evening breeze. It was a very short walking distance to the pools (one with a slide) that our children loved. We will definitely look to stay here again on a future stay and would highly recommend it to all that are interested in visiting Buenaventura.

About the host

Hosted by Alexander

Host profile image
We're an American/Panamanian/British family currently living in Arizona. I am a tropical forest ecologist, Yoli works in marketing, and our little one is 7 years old. We all love Panama to death, and we'd love to share our little slice of paradise with you.

Why they chose this property

Buenaventura is the nicest community in the beach area near the city. There are tons of activities here if you want to take advantage. The Laguna neighborhood, where we are, is the most tranquil area in all of Buenavenutra. So, you can sit back and relax here like nowhere else. Your local pool is fantastic for the kids, as well as the adults.

What makes this property unique

Our flat in Laguna is perfectly located: you have a private and uninterrupted view of the green area and Laguna. Most units in Buenaventura have views obstructed by other buildings - not this one! We've also gone to great lengths to put together a beautifully decorated and tasteful apartment for everyone to enjoy. Finally, we have a 4x4 that we rent to guests at a (very) steep discount.
