The location was brilliant overlooking the beautiful beach and pool. The apartment is huge - one big room but plenty of space. The kitchen section is relatively small but was packed full of equipment. Welcome basket of tea/coffee, popcorn etc was appreciated. A small supermarket is a 2 minute walk away which had most of the groceries we needed for a 2 night stay. The beach is gorgeous and whilst the waves are very strong we managed a few swims. The swimming pool was also excellent. Getting to the apartment by bus from the airport should have been straightforward but as we didn’t speak Spanish we found it hard to navigate and paid a lot for a taxi. The return journey to Albrook Terminal was a breeze and only cost $2.50!! Lesson learnt. A big thank you to Mitz who told us how to manage the journey and even gave us a lift to the bus. She also gave us lots of advice about our stay in Casco Viejo. Excellent customer care.

Hostess Tatiana met me at the gate and escorted me to the condo unit. She showed me around the property as to where the pools are on 3rd and ground floors as well as the Lounge and Restaurant area. She also shared where the local grocery stores and a local watering hole for ExPats were located. She is a very knowledgeable and professional host.
