Don’t stay here if you want to relax by the pool.
This was a very nice property, and the host was very helpful and pleasant. The large bed and pillows were very comfy, and the host arranged for a small fridge to be put in our room; which was really useful for us.
However, there was no tea or coffee making facilities.
We had the Darien room which was the furthest room from the pool area, so it was probably the quietest one in the building. It also had pleasant views of the gardens.
This was important because every day we were there, for four nights, the host rented out the whole pool and communal living area to members of the public for parties with up to 40 people, including children, with very loud music. The noise started in the morning, and sometimes didn’t end till 5 or 6pm.
We chose this property as a transit stop on our long trip because it was away from the busy and noisy part of town, and it had lovely gardens and a wonderful pool area where we planned to just relax in the sun and read books.
This was impossible. The noise from the party-goers was intolerable and all the seats were taken. I have attached a video; (which I have never had to do before).
We expected to share the pool with a few other guests from this small complex, but not with 40 other people who were there specifically to party. Whatever time we had there had to be spent in our room.
Although the room was fairly quiet, we could still hear the party noise from the pool area from around mid-morning.
There were also a lot of dogs on the property, and between them and the dogs next door, they made a lot of noise early in the morning and late at night.
It was not at...
Read moreWhen walking onto the property of Patampa, you immediately feel comfortable and relaxed. The beautiful pool is very inviting and refreshing, with plenty of areas to sit and chill. The room was amazing with all modern amenities that you could wish for: Very comfortable bed with high-quality linens, in-room safe, cold A/C, and a beautiful bathroom/shower with plenty of water pressure and hot water. My room also had a nice covered patio with comfortable outdoor furniture. The entire place was well designed and built with higher than average standards. Pascal is a great and thoughtful host...not to mention an amazing chef! If you are looking for a great place to stay without breaking the bank, then this is your place...it's worth every penny. Quality throughout from the decor/landscaping to the coffee in your mug...it was a perfect 4-night stay, and I will definitely be back the next time that I...
Read moreI have stayed with Pablo, Mayra and Roni 3x while moving from Panama to Costa Rica. I chose the BnB specifically because it is pet friendly and I was moving with 3 dogs and 2 cats. I was amazed at the cleanliness... extremely well maintained. the yard is fenced and secure for dogs. The bedrooms all have their unique personality but the outstanding characteristic is all the furniture is artisan crafted wood, the beds are the best I have slept on and the fittings and fixtures are high quality with a European flair (the web site photos show it well). Pablo is, among other very interesting attributes, a chef so the breakfast is European, beautifully presented with fresh fruit, nuts, sliced meats, variety of breads and cheeses, eggs served how you like them and excellent coffee. Pablo and Roni work very hard at providing warm, kind, helpful hospitality. I can highly recommend Patampa bed...
