Blake S.

Liked: Check-in, communication, location
Disliked: Cleanliness
The main reason I don't give this place 5 stars was because of the numerous mold spots around the location. Also, the pictures of the pool and path down to the beach are a tad misleading, as the pool was more dirty, and the path was a bit uninituitive to get to. But other than that, the place's price was very reasonable, and it's very well located to enjoy some beach fun and Panama city activities like Zoo World and the amusement parks. The host was also very effective in his communication, and offered us a full refund on the day of our arrival (which we refused). Instead, we got a refund of 1/3rd the cost of the room, which was nice and I believe reasonable conspensation since neither me or my family seemed to have any health issues from the mold.
