One of the first time that I feel like being at home in a AirBnB. The house is clean, the family is so kind, and Madeleine will cook delicious food for you. The house is well located, and you can easily take a bus to go to Colon or take a boat to go to the beach. Do not hesitate to go !

The quaint cute place is in between Portobello and Isla Grande. Very welcoming and accommodating. Anything from an extra cup of coffee to Salsa dance lessons, they provided! Very fun group

It's a nice, peaceful place. The driveway is a little tricky though, try to have four wheel drive!

Great view, they were very nice with us, it's very close to Portobelo and to the islands and it's totally worth the price :)

The hosts were most welcoming. I was told of good places to eat and how to get around town. They listened to me when I stated that I wasn't really interested in "touristy" activities. I was given a private hike by the host, books I may want to read which were in English, and a book on Panama, so that I could choose exactly what I wanted to do.

Rancho Juancho was incredible! We really wished we had stayed an extra night. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The cabaña was very clean and the bed was so comfy. We are definitely staying here again next time we are in Panamá.

Cabanas Rancho Juancho was nice. The view is great and it was nice to relax in the hammocks. The room was clean and large enough. It is definitly hard to find at night and the hill going up is very daunting. The host did not provide us with much info on arrival and we received the kitchen utilities at the end on the next day. The surrounding area is also very nice with plenty of restaurants. There is a good zoo not far as well.

Rancho Juancho was a great place for our stay. When we got there it was really easy to find (big sign on the main road) and we got our keys seamlessly despite arriving almost an hour before the scheduled pick-up time. The best thing about this place are the views, you get to overlook the ocean and are essentially surrounded by jungle (be ready for bugs, I highly recommend bringing bug spray if you plan to hang out outside a lot, specially at night). The place was clean and it has A/C, which is crucial for dealing with the heat and humidity. All in all a great experience, if anything I'd say that the only bad thing is that the shower doesn't have much of a temperature control we could find, its lukewarm-ish all the time.

The view of the ocean from the Rancho is fantastic, during the evening relaxing on the amaca is great. the place is cool and simple, Super clean, bed ar comfy and during the night fresh air let you sleep no problem even without the AC. Portobelo is a nice destination. Ask Jill, the owner, about restaurant and things to do. She knows everything! I will back soon, i promise ;)

Muy acogedor, el paisaje hermoso. Lo recomiendo.

El entorno es genial y la casa está muy bien. Alejandro coordinó todo a nuestra llegada perfectamente, la comunicación fue muy fluida. Ese mismo día la casa se quedó sin electricidad y Alejandro se movilizó e hizo todo lo posible por solucionar el problema un 24 de diciembre y finalmente lo logró. La llegada en "panga" añade su punto de aventura :) Solo agregaría mejorar algo la limpieza.

This is great place to stay when you are looking to get away from Panama City. The house is very rustic, no thrills but very private and quiet.

Nos encantó la ubicación y la arquitectura de la casa, está uno en medio del bosque y muy cerca de las mejores playas de la zona. Es muy tranquilo en la noche, pero igual se siente seguro porque hay vecinos cerca. El mobiliario es básico pero funcional. La atención del administrador, Raúl, fue clave para disfrutar nuestra estadía, siempre estuvo pendiente de coordinar los transportes y ayudarnos en lo que hiciera falta.

Beautiful place, spacious rooms with breathtaking view on the forest. We enjoyed walking and horseriding in the area. Tucans were in front of the terrace every morning, we saw many other birds, monkeys and butterflies. We also enjoyed couple of restaurants and went to the beach. A very relaxing break.

Excelente la casa, acogedora y relajante... Recomendable.

The good: house is huge, has ocean view and private adult & child pool. Portobelo beach is not good but from that location you can access by boat (15-30min) many amazing caribbean beaches. Kathy has the best disposition to help and solve any problems. AC on every room; 4 rooms on the house and one extra on the guest house near the pool. Towels/sheets on every room plus basic home supplies. Parking for several cars; private village. The not so good: we had some issues with the water supply (although at the end it was all fixed) and we never got hot water. There were some missing kitchen items but that was replaced as well. No one showed us the house or explained anything when we arrive (just gave us the keys) and there was no cleaning during the 4 days we were there. Over all we did have an amazing family time there :)

La casa es grande y cómoda en un area tranquila justo frente al mar. En la parte de atrás de a casa hay una linda terraza en donde se combina la vista al mar con una brisa deliciosa. El area de la piscina es muy divertida para pasar un buen rato en familia. La vista desde la habitación principal es espectacular. Realmente la pasamos muy bien y seguro regresaremos.

Katherine was in constant contact before and during our trip making sure that our needs were met. The house is large (including a detached "guest" suite above the outdoor bar area) and well maintained, located directly on the ocean. While there is not a beach suitable for swimming at the house there are plenty of great beaches near by and it's great to hear the waves while relaxing on the large covered back porch. You can find plenty of great restaurants, bakeries, and activities 15 minutes away in the town of Portobelo. I also highly recommend Portobelo Adventures for any tours (hiking, kayaking, etc). We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Despertar Frente al Mar and would definitely recommend to anyone interested in a visit to Panama!

Excelente estadía, las fotos no hacen muestra del lugar... completamente recomendado!

La estadía fue estupenda, la casa excedió las expectativas, todo está en muy buen estado. La cocina muy bien equipada. Katherine estuvo siempre disponible e incluso nos dio una cortesía para salir un poco más tarde. Tuvimos problema con la calefacción pero al parecer es un problema aislado. Recomendaría también mejorar la iluminación de la piscina por la noche pero en general la experiencia fue muy buena. Los recomiendo completamente.

excelente todo lo recomiendo

Un paraiso en Portobelo. Un lugar muy tranquilo y hermoso. Definitivamente de las mejores vistas que uno puede conseguir en Colon. El trato de las personas encargadas fue muy bueno, excelente a decir verdad, una experiencia muy linda. Desde la ubicacion de la casa, la atencion del staff, la vista de la casa, todas las amenidades que ofrecia la casa, todo sobrepaso mis expectativas. Esta es una excelente opcion para pasar un fin de semana con amigos, o ya sea en familia. Otra cosa es que la casa esta a minutos e Portobelo, y de sus hermosas playas, cosa que para mi es muy importante. De seguro estare volviendo a esta casa.

Our stay in Villa Caribe was great, we had a great time. It was 10 of us and we all fit comfortably (there were enough beds for 8, but we came prepared). The house is very clean, very nice and well equipped, photos are very accurate. The house host (Dawn) was really accessible and accommodating, she made us feel at home and was very quick to answer any of our questions. I would def recommend this listing!

Nous avons passé un excellent week-end dans cette belle maison au bord de la mer. La vue est magnifique et on ne s'en lasse pas. Dawn nous a très sympa gentiment accueillis et nous avons par son intermédiaire pu facilement organiser toute une journée en bateau sur la baie de Portobelo.

The pictures of this house do it no justice it's unreal! We would go back for sure.

We really enjoyed our stay in panama the host and grounds keeper were more then (URL HIDDEN) was a beautiful house and will diffently stay again.thanks again from the THEALLS

Everything was just as described...and better. The house was in fantastic shape and Kathy and Dawn were excellent hosts. Will visit again for next group event in Portobelo.

We were made incredibly welcome by Heather and Jim. It started with being picked up , tea for two in the hammocks and then we took their Jungle tour the following day which was incredible. In the evening we went to a local French Restaurant and they supplied torches for the walk back- but they also offered to pick us up if we had wanted. On arriving back they had put the lighjts on in our Bothy- it was great and very romantic. Breakfast was jampacked with fresh fruit, scottish scone like bread with butter and Jam and scrambled eggs and toast. The Jungle tour itself was informative about the wildlife and the wide variety of plants and trees. We were very lucky to see three troops of different monkeys, amongst many other things. The Bothy was enchanting and a great night's sleep- the Howlers in the night only adding to the charm! The view looked over the jungle and the Caribbean sea as described. The late night shower under the stars was also a plus. I would definitely recommend and return.

Heather and Jim are fantastic hosts. Staying at Tesoro Verde is indeed a unique and wonderful experience. A mosquito net is the only barrier between you and the exterior and you really do feel as one with nature. Don't expect luxury, what you see is what you get. Also, the grounds are much more beautiful in person than in pictures. This spot is a MUST for nature lovers! I wish I could've stayed longer to explore all the premises, so I'll definitely be back!

Amazing place and experience. As it looks, you are in a bothy (shelter) that is entirely open to the surrounding nature, with only a mosquito net and a roof over your head to separate you. Great views from your bed overlooking the Caribbean, open air showers, all on a large property that features many things such as a large hedge maze, plants/animals abound, nature walks, and a wood fire pizza oven (!) amongst other things. As spectacular as all of this is, the warmth of hosts Heather and Jim is even better; they made every effort they could to make our time there as enjoyable as possible. While there, my girlfriend and I felt very welcomed, and we would both return without hesitation.

Wow! What an incredible experience! We were desperately looking for something in the area at really short notice and we are so lucky we found this. Jim and Heather made us feel so welcome from the outset and even though we'd given them literally an hour's notice of our arrival, everything was clean and ready for our stay and when they realised how unprepared we were with our food, they even invited us to share their evening dinner of delicious coconut octopus. The grounds are absolutely stunning and the 'bothies' are so cute and really unique - they are very well covered, but the front is totally open. I never thought I'd be so comfortable effectively sleeping outside, but I had the best night's sleep! We woke up with monkeys and toucans chirruping around us and the wind blowing gently through the trees that stretch out over an in amazing view of the sea and islands in the distance. I have never stayed anywhere like this and I will definitely be back! Thank you so much for making us feel so welcome and sharing your spectacular home with us.

Really nice house with a fantastic view next to the jungle .Amy did her best to give us tips and organize daily trip ! Thanks a lot ,we should come back soon !

Amy and her caretakers were so helpful and responded to us very promptly when we had questions. They provided contact information for us for an excursion, and even set up a jungle/property tour at one of their neighbor's (which was really great and informative!) The property was clean and comfortable... great for small groups/couples. We especially loved the view from the deck in front which overlooks the ocean, and the pool/BBQ area. Thanks for making our trip so wonderful!
