Questions
Questions guests ask before booking
Answered by the host; the same facts Chucho uses.
What is the apartment layout?
This recently fully refurnished apartment offers a spacious, sophisticated and modern setting. The structured listing specifies a capacity of 8 guests, 3 bedrooms, 3 beds and 3.5 bathrooms. The host describes each of the three main bedrooms as having a full en-suite bathroom and ample closet space. The master bedroom has two walk-in closets and a private bathroom with a whirlpool bathtub. The host also advertises an additional fourth bedroom adjacent to the apartment, with a full bathroom and private entrance. Traditionally used for maid or nanny services, it is described as spacious and beautifully decorated. Its inclusion in the booking should be confirmed because it is not reflected in the structured bedroom and bathroom counts.
What connectivity, entertainment and laundry facilities are provided?
The host describes high-speed internet at 200 Mbps and TVs in every room equipped with FireTV, Netflix and a wide selection of channels from around the world. A washer and dryer are available on-site. Only green and organic cleaning materials are used.
Are there service limitations or supplies I should know about?
The host reports that the building is undergoing an airtightness test. Hot water and the supplied stove will therefore be electric; the regular kitchen and all gas amenities will be unavailable until further notice. A complimentary starter set of shampoo, conditioner, soap and toilet paper is provided on arrival. Once these initial supplies run out, guests must purchase their own toiletries for the remainder of the stay. Although the host describes the area as very safe, robberies have been reported in empty properties nearby. Please keep the apartment closed at all times and after check-out to protect the property and your belongings.
Which facilities can guests access, and where can they park?
Building amenities are included in the rental. The apartment is within walking distance of two popular restaurants and a marina, making it a base for exploring Vista Mar Beach & Golf Resort. If you arrive by car and are unsure where to park, the host permits use of visitor parking. Beach-club access is restricted to residents or long-stay rentals of 2 months.
How can I reach Vista Mar?
Vista Mar is on Panama’s Pacific coast, approximately 90 km from Panama City. The host describes the drive from Panama City as following the Pan-American Highway for about 90 km. The nearest airport is Scarlett Martínez International Airport in Río Hato, about 30 minutes away (27 km). It mainly receives charter flights from the U.S. and Canada. Most travelers arrive through Tocumen International Airport in Panama City; Albrook and Panamá Pacífico airports are additional options. Vista Mar also has a private heliport within the community.
When is guest support available?
Communication hours are 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. The team will do its best to answer messages outside these hours. In emergencies, guests may call at any time. If staff are not on-site, the team will try to assist remotely until they can arrive in person. You are staying in an apartment, not a hotel. Please treat the space respectfully. The team will try to address problems as soon as possible, but nobody lives on-site 24/7.
What can I enjoy around Vista Mar?
Vista Mar is particularly suited to golf and fishing enthusiasts. • Vista Mar Golf Course: Managed by KemperSports, which manages some of the world’s finest golf courses. Designed by J. Michael Poellot, it has 18 holes with 4 tee stations per hole. The host describes it as being in excellent condition, with Pacific Ocean views from several holes. There is also a golf pro shop. • Vista Mar Marina: A modern, well-built marina with excellent docks, substantial breakwaters and service, offering yachting, fishing and Panamanian cultural adventures. Yacht and boat rentals are available; ask the marina office for details. • Boga Bar: A restaurant overlooking the marina, with karaoke and live music on weekends. • Tichanan: Described by the host as a newly opened, excellent Thai restaurant located at the Vista Mar beach club. Beach-club access restrictions still apply.
