We had a 2 night stay on a twin cabaña since I was traveling with a coworker friend, to find out we were given a deluxe cabaña (double king bed). Vanessa, who was in charge apologized many times and wanted to change us in the following day but we agreed it was fine. The pool was wonderful and the view bought me! It's lovely to see the ocean so close, see how they crash. The property needs lots of painting and remodeling however our cabaña smelled like heaven, the bed very comfortable and cozy, i enjoyed sleeping so much. I think a little stove top should come with the cabaña. The Villas have many dogs on site who are friendly and love people. The staff was sweet and caring.

Breakfast was simple (eggs or pancakes and some sliced fruit) but good. All staff was extremely friendly. Especially Israel, he was very helpful with figuring out how and where to pay our traffic fine, which is pretty complicated in Panama (you have to go to an office which is 2 hours driving from...
