★ GYM, GOLF, AND BOAT SLIP ACCESS ★
The exercise equipment, olympic pool, soccer field, tennis, paddleball, and basketball courts, golf club and boat slip amenities are available for an extra fee. Please contact us for details. All amenities pictured in the listing are available free of charge unless noted otherwise.
★ COVID-19 SANITIZATION ★
Heath, safety, and well-being of our guests are of utmost importance. For this reason, we use a thorough cleaning process after each check-out.
★ NO PETS ALLOWED ★
We love those little (and not so little) furry bundles of joy. Sadly, our home is not suitable to accommodate them.
★ NO SMOKING INSIDE ★
Please refrain from smoking inside the home! Any smoking evidence will result in a fee for odor removal, duct cleaning, and furniture cleaning.
★ NO PARTIES/EVENTS ★
We kindly ask you to treat our home as your own to preserve its pristine condition for future guests and your return visits.
★ CHECK-IN / CHECKOUT ★
We appreciate that a 4pm check-in is rather late, and that a 10am check-out is rather early. We need every one of those 6 hours to clean so each guest can be greeted with a spotless home. In fact, we often have to bring in 2 cleaners to get everything ready in that time frame. However, if nobody is leaving or coming the same day, we can sometimes accommodate early check-ins and late checkouts. In those cases, we charge $15/hour.
Note that you can always arrive earlier in Buenaventura and enjoy its amenities before actually checking into the apartment.
Thank you very much for your understanding.
★ HOME AUTOMATION ★
We have installed home automation systems. When any doors or windows are left open for more than 3 minutes, the AC will automatically turn off. Please close the doors and windows before turning the AC back on.
★ NUMBER OF GUESTS ★
All guest fees are automatically included when you book your stay. However, if you accidentally book for too few people, or need to amend your booking to include more guests, we would like to let you know that each guest beyond a party of 6 incurs an extra fee of $28/night.
We will be accessible 24/7 for our guests via phone, text, or the Airbnb app.
We won't be available in person, but we have staff on the ground who will respond promptly. Please contact us with any questions and requests (en Español or English), and we will respond quickly.

Our flat, "The Gliding Damselfly," is located in the Laguna neighborhood of Buenaventura - the greenest and most tranquil setting in all of Buenaventura. All of Buenaventura is very safe and secure, whether you are walking at night or during the day. With a large laguna at its center, it is easy to walk (and bike) around for kids and adults alike.
The kiddie pool is within easy walking distance with a waterslide, adult pool and community gathering area, kayak and paddleboat dock, mango trees to harvest your breakfast (July - Sept), and a playground. A short walk or shorter drive brings you to the sports club, which has a workout gym, semi-Olympic size pool, sauna, tennis courts, basketball courts, and soccer (football) field (fee required). They give yoga, rhythmic gymnastics, tennis, and swimming classes. Arrangements can be made for private lessons as well. If you come during Panamanian school breaks or summer (Dec - Feb), they also have fantastic kids camps with activities such as horse riding, rock climbing, swimming, and tennis. Buenaventura offers the first "Rafa Nadal Academy" in Panama. If you or your kids are tennis enthusiasts and would like to attend, don't hesitate to contact us for details.
Buenaventura created "The Creating Center" during the pandemic to serve children living there and serve students from 17 countries who are taught using modern methods. If you decide to stay with us for an extended period, don't hesitate to contact us if you would like your children to make use of the center's services.
