Roof deck with pool, social area and 360 view over the ocean. The resort was elected by Conde Nast among the top 5 resorts in Latin America, with numerous amenities, including several swimming pools, tour operator, restaurants, bars, and concierge.

Our condo, on the 14th floor, has two spacious bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a large living room with open kitchen. It is perfect for up to 6 people to enjoy enjoy a unique stay by the beach, while being close to great Panama City, with its abundance of restaurants, bars, museums, the Panama Canal locks, shopping centers and more. The entire condo, decorated by an architect and artist, has A/C, great Wifi coverage and comfortable and modern furniture.

The kitchen has an American fridge with water and ice dispenser, as well as a dishwasher, and all the necessary utensils. The condo also has its own washing machine and dryer.

The master en-suite bedroom has a king-size bed with Memory Foam, a wooden desk, and a large bathroom with shower and jacuzzi, and a large walk-in closet.

The second bedroom has two twin beds, which can be joined together into a King size bed if you wish, and a large wardrobe.

The condo also has two additional single beds (one in each bedroom) that can be moved around, meaning that you can for instance have 2 people in one bedroom and 4 in another, or 3 and 3, or you may even place them in the living room.

This beautiful apartment, decorated with style, located in the beachfront Westin Playa Bonita resort, is unique because it is the best of two worlds, in that it is the only accommodation option in Panamá to enjoy both the beach and the great city. It is the only beach located close to the center of Panama City, the old town, and the Panama Canal. Depending on traffic, you can be in the old town or the city centre in under 15 minutes (the next closest beach is roughly an hour and a half away). Our guests love staying with us precisely because of this, being able to stay/sleep, being and feeling at the beach, and at the same time experience all that Panama City has to offer before returning to sleep among the waves and jungle. As such, we are convinced that this is the best accommodation option there is in all of Panama City.

Pets are allowed, with basic building rules applied (cannot enter the lobby wet, must use the service elevator, always with a leash, etc.).

Our guests can purchase the optional but highly recommended access/membership to the Pearl Club's luxurious beach club amenities (beach club exclusive for the building), including a spectacular beach-side pool, a great gym, stand-up paddle boards and kayaks, as well as a world-class Clarins spa. Access to the club is optional, at an extra cost, is exclusively reserved for residents and guests of the building, and the membership can be purchased on site.

The check in process is simple. The building has a front desk that is staffed 24x7, and the key to the unit will be in a lockbox by the door. We will be in contact from the moment you book, to ensure everything is clear for you and that you arrive and start enjoying the beach, the condo, all of the building's and resort's amenities, as well asl that Panama has to offer.

The Westin Playa Bonita Hotel has a travel agency/tour operator, called Panamazing, to help with excursions to all of Panama's main attractions, including the Canal and Miraflores Locks, the historic center, museums, indigenous communities, the Gamboa Rainforest Reserve, shopping malls and more.

Close to the beach and very peaceful

We stayed during the off-season and had the beach and pool to ourselves. The apartment was perfect for two adults and two teens. There was lots of room, so we could relax. It was a short walk to the beach and Westin pools. If you plan to book tours, I recommend doing it online or directly with the place. Tour company in the Westin is very expensive compared to the actual price.

Perfect visit with family

We have tons of family in Panama and this property was perfect for both our family of 4 visiting from the US and gave us the ability to entertain our family in Panama. The area is nice, with proximity to Panama City. The apartment had most of what we needed and the owners were easy to communicate with, even on Christmas day.

Best rental property ever

It is a dream property for our visit to Panama. Sitting in the Westin Playa Bonita Village, we enjoyed top rated amenities from the hotel at a much cheaper price. The location is far from all the noises while having easy access to all destinations. The restaurants located in just a mile away are top rated as well. The owner is very friendly and flexible as well. Strongly recommended!

great place

A very nice unit near the beach. The boat had great communication. Place looks just like photos. One small issue with the air but so minor in the big picture and the place has 3 air conditioners. I would fully recommend the place. We could get to city and around the beach town with uber and we’re right ne5 to the beach. would be a great place to stay even longer.

Very nice unit - Beach not so nice

the unit very clean and nice, we could live there, but the beach was horrific & the internet wasn’t so good, but we just dealt with. the hosts were very accommodating. The only real issue is the "water currents that come in and out due to the canal", never seen anything like it. The beach is like a huge pile of dirt and dark mud with clumps. But overall property has all the accommodations. They literally have one of the BEST BUFFETS I have ever had at the Westin.

Beautiful place and great hosts

We enjoyed a lovely two week stay at this property and really appreciated the responsiveness of our hosts. The place is even more beautiful IRL and the views are breathtaking. Would absolutely return. I do think it’s worth noting that for trips the city, it’s important to time them to avoid traffic and higher Uber costs, but none of that detracts from how we felt about our stay.

Perfect location!

We loved this condo and definitely will stay again. It was clean and beautifully decorated. We loved the amenities and multiple pool choices. The location was perfect too for having the resort getaway feel, but also being close to the city to see the sights. The owner was easy to contact and was always quick to respond which helped ease anxiety when planning a trip to another country. A wonderful experience all the way around!

We really enjoyed our stay at the condo in Casa Bonita. We had a beautiful view from the 14th floor, the condo is spacious and clean, and the property managers were very helpful and responsive. The fitness center was well-equipped, and we enjoyed using the pool at the Pearl Club. The staff at Casa Bonita is courteous and friendly.

Okay

Ensure that the host knows you are staying. Supposedly Vrbo didn’t send confirmation to host so I had to wait until 8pm to use the property. The place has everything you need expect face towels. The store around the property was closed some of the time due to low season. The property is for those looking to get away from the city and enjoy a nice beach setting or close the beach. The beach at the property was not that please, but less than a mile you can fine some smooth sandy areas. The pictures are more of the hotel near the property which is a little walk, so make sure I you have a rain jacket or umbrella. The restaurants at the hotel were reasonable and all the employees were very friendly. Nice place, but just to far out for me as I would have like to explore the city without getting a Uber for a long drive.

Everything We Expected

Can't say enough good things about the unit. Location was great, amazing view of the jungle and ocean. Evenings on the balcony were wonderful, listening to the birds and insects, very relaxing. Was a great place to come back to after a day of exploring Panama. Plenty of room for both couples to spread out and relax. Master room was comfortable and the master shower with walk-in closet very nice. Fun in the evenings to prepare meals and talk about the day of exploring. Though outside of Panama City we had no issues getting Uber rides into town or arranging pickups for our various excursions. Definitely be aware of traffic going into and out of Panama City. The traffic can be unreal and going over the Bridge time consuming. Recommend using Uber, very convenient and inexpensive. Check in was very easy and the desk staff were super friendly and very helpful. Communicating with the host Remi was super easy and responses to questions were always helpful and timely. Highly recommend the property.
