Reviews of Town Center Paradise in Playa Blanca

In general, the apartment was clean and nicely furnished. However, there were several serious issues that made our stay very unpleasant.

First, the air conditioning unit is installed directly above the bed, which causes cold air to blow on you while you sleep—this is quite uncomfortable, especially for children. Second, communication with the host, Irina, was extremely difficult. She does not speak English, and her Spanish is very limited, which made it hard to communicate. The most serious problem, however, occurred on the night of our stay. The apartment was advertised as family-friendly with a clear policy of "no parties allowed." Despite this, there was a loud party in the neighboring apartment—also managed by Irina—that lasted late into the night and made it impossible for our family, including small children, to sleep. We contacted Irina for help, but she did not respond at all. To make matters worse, the next morning, after we had clearly expressed our dissatisfaction and left to a different location, we received an email from Booking.com stating that our reservation had been marked as a "no-show" and cancelled—by Irina. This appears to be a deliberate attempt to block us from leaving a review and sharing our experience, which we find deeply unfair and dishonest.

The rooms were cozy and comfortable. Bathroom had hot water. They solved the TV and AC issue.

We took a while trying to settle into the room bc the AC had some trouble when we arrived and they were fixing it but it wasn't took into consideration by the owners to say we could check-out those extra minutes late, we paid an extra for a late check-out so we could use the pool but we used it to eat and get ready bc the pool wasn't that good.// We tried watching tv but it had no channels, also not connected to Wi-Fi so it took a while and at the end he changed the TV.//. We tried turning on the lights and it wasn't working, we connected the lamp, we touched all the switches and nothing, I told the lady and she came and suddenly they turn on, she seemed a bit annoyed she went all the way there for that or I don't know; the thing has some weird method to turn on, you connect it, turn on the wall switches and then turn on the lamp switches (confusing yet); A central light should be added.// The facilities on this side of Playa Blanca are absolutely boring. If you wanna just stay in the room and relax that's good but don't go trying to have fun. I don't even recommend walking at night because the beach is far away and everything is quiet and scary.// There's a pool that you can't use unless you're the owner of the apartment you're staying at. 2nd pool is the one where it has 2 water slides but is a fairly small pool when everybody around gets in. About the slides: the taller one is cool, 2nd one that has curves is hard to slide on as an adult, better for kids. There's that artificial beach/ huge salt water pool too, it's NOT even available to go swim in it, not for owners, not for invites, it's literally there only for the paid water rides. That was the worse disappointment for me. It's immense but you have to be crowded in the other pool.

Very spacious apartment with a comfortable bed and a big bathroom, friendly host, nice pool that you can use. The Playa Blanca beach itself was gorgeous and is only a 15 minute walk from the apartment.

No good restaurants nearby. In fact, the only (sit down) restaurant (Venezuelan) in the building/hotel was by far the worst we ate in during out 15-day Panama trip. We did not finish any of the dishes. The apartment is a bit old and some things are falling apart so it really needs to be renovated soon.

Everything was excellent.

Nothing every thing was creat

The amenities around the property were pretty nice, a couple of places to eat, to drink and to have some dessert, pools were great, even though as a visitor you don't have a way to enjoy the big one, a shame

Air conditioner was pretty loud, and the TV was a really old model, also, sounds from the neighbors are really not avoidable in this place, so, be wary of those points.

The apartment is very nice. If you only require the apartment and would like to swim in the ocean this is a good option.

The pool accessible from the property is salt water. Despite advertising that the property has the largest fresh water pool in the world. The water slide and pool area accessible are in terrible condition.

The room was very comfortable and clean, the person who attended us was very friendly and punctual in delivering and receiving the room and the keys, as well the access to the pool and beach.

We would have liked more variety to eat in the place but you have the hotel options. There is a grocery store in the place and a super market at 4 kilometers distance.
