“The location certainly shines, set on the shores of Playa Panama, and spacious apartment-style suites provide a comfortable base. While showing signs of wear, it remains a tranquil retreat for those who value nature and quiet above flawless luxury, especially howler monkeys swinging by. This could be your spot if you're prepared to embrace its quirks and focus on the beautiful views.”
