Rob was a great host. We enjoyed our time in Panama and the playa Blanca area. The condo was well stocked with everything we needed. A large super 99 grocery store is a four dollar taxi ride away. The condo pool is great and there is a nice lagoon and resident's beach nearby. In general Panama is very hot, the Panamanian people are very friendly, and the cost of living is reasonable.

Rob is an excellent host. The Penthouse has breath taking views. It is clean, and has everything one needs to be confortable and relax. The beach is a short walking distance. If you are a runner, this is a great place to run. The security staff is very kind and helpful with advice about where to go and do. There is a supermarket less than a mile and another one in Rio Hato Mega Market (less expensive), If you need taxi, get a list with rates. Some taxi drivers increase their rate when they get a tourist. There is a Car rental pace call "Economica" good prices, friendly staff. If you need a 4 X$4 it is necessary call them at least 24 hours ahead. I will most definitely stay in Rob's place nest time. It is a lovely place to relax, -----------------------
