About Kelly Berube de De Caro

My husband, Juan Pablo, and I met in Bocas del Toro, Panamá eight years ago. We've been married for over seven years. We have a restaurant (Buena Vista Bar & Grill) and small hotel on Isla Colón, where we live with our daughters, Lucia and Gabriela. Juan Pablo is Panamanian and I am from the US. Lucia and Gabriela were born in Panama City in 2007 and 2009.

Kelly Berube de De Caro purchased this condo in 2008
Why Kelly Berube de De Caro chose Panama City

We visit Panama City (where Juan Pablo is from) often and decided we would be more comfortable with a place of our own. Our main requirements were location (El Cangrejo is the most centrally located area with everything imaginable in walking distance) and a swimming pool. After about a year of looking, we found this condo. We took one look at the view and fell in love.

What makes this condo unique

I hate to be repetitive but El Cangrejo is the most centrally located area with everything imaginable in walking distance. I walk a block to a department store for a manicure/pedicure and lunch. It is very easy to get a taxi in front of the building at any time of day and the central location means about any destination is only about 10-15 minutes and $2 away.

Breathtaking view!!

Submitted: January 10, 2013 Stayed: October 2012
We enjoyed staying in this condo so much!! The owners were so nice and the information book they left in the apartment was very helpful! We visited several of their recommendations and the ratings were right on cue. Yes the building is older but we found the apartment to be nice and clean. The view definitely makes up for any shortcomings! We had friends who stayed at another location in the city but plan to stay here when returning to Panama.

This was a great apartment. The location is fantastic, walking distance to so much. The apartment is especially well set up for families, I was travelling with my husband and two kids (1&3). The place was clean on arrival with plenty of towels and spare linen. If there was anything we needed help with the owner was contactable and really helpful. We really hope to be back!

Rental Desaster

1 of 5
Submitted: November 3, 2012 Stayed: October 2012
My friends and I rented a 3 bath/2bdrm condo. in Panama, district Cangrejo. By the pictures that we all saw, it looked like a very nice condo on the 14th floor, so we booked it. You know the saying, "A picture paints a thousand words". First of all, it's an old highrise needing major maintenance work. Only one elevator working and that one was in need of repairs. We felt we were taking our lives in our hands whenever we used it. When we arrived to the apartment, one of the bathrooms was out of comission. The shower curtain was covered with mold/mildew, disgusting! The shower was dirty and there was a 5 gallon drum inside. The master bedroom bath tub was peeling and rusty, disgusting to even think of stepping into. I called the owners regarding the bathroom and he sound surprised. He called the cleaning lady to clean up the bathroom, but the major issue here were repairs and I blame the owners. Your need to take care of your property if you want good reveiws. Then there was the cooling system, the A/C units in master bedroom kept freezing, so we had to put our towels and buckets under the unit to collect the water and though we did call and complained ,no one came to remedy the situation. In the kitchen, the fridge also leaked water onto the floor. Towels were already placed underneth, we assumed it was put there by the owners to absorb the water. Below the kitchen sink was filthy and wet inviting insects, and so we found cock roaches in the apt. We have rented from homeaway/VBRO in the past and had no problems. Kind of leaves a bad taste in your mouth. I think on our next vacation we will do an all inclusive. At lease if something goes wrong, it will get remedy that same day. It just takes ONE BAD APPLE to spoil the whole barrel.

PS. The view was spectacular , but it was demineshed by the many problems.
Owner's Response: Yes our condo is in an older, constantly improving building. Major maintenance has already been done and the second elevator will be up and running soon. The current elevator has been running fine now and is up for further improvements soon. Brand new and fancy building? No, hence the reasonable rates. Our condo in another building would rent for $200-$300 per night. The central location is what drew us to it most and we remodeled the condo itself upon purchase. The condo was not dirty nor has ever been. Our housekeeper is full time and even without clients keeps thing impeccable. As for the mop bucket in the third shower, I absolutely apologize for the oversight. I was in the condo both before and after this stay and saw no rust in the mast bathroom. Admittedly the shower floor was mildly peeling which we are getting taken care of now but nothing I would consider not stepping into. To offer a little insight, this client stuck tacky plastic air freshener to nearly every wall resulting in peeling paint where I removed each one after chek-out. No one smokes in the apt and barely ever cooks so we've never experienced any odor problems. Cockroaches?! NEVER! I call the fumigator if I even see an ant. We do take care of our property and are in the unit ourselves regularly to check up. As for the AC units, they DO freeze when left at the lowest temperature setting with all of the doors open 24 hours a day. Agreed. This client attempted to undercut tour guides and drivers and berated restaurant staff so I am not surprised by this review but suggest it be taken with a large grain of salt. I am an honest homeowner and will gladly address any issues or concerns future clients may have.

Short Stay

3 of 5
Submitted: August 27, 2012 Stayed: August 2012
The condo served our purpose for a short stay. The location was as advertised and plenty of information was provided in the suite to help explore the neighbourhood. Prior to our arrival the owner offered to connect us to a local tour guide - which was a nice offer. We did have some difficulty obtaining the keys and finding our parking at a late hour (7 pm) due to the concierge not being at his post - the owner tried to help via phone communication and after a bit of frustration we were in the unit. The building is showing some signs of wear and only one elevator was working with a limit of 4 people at a time - this is a maintenance issue that is hopefully being addressed. The unit was clean, updated and had all amenities. The den did not accommodate the two children as hoped - however large sofas in the living space filled the need. City noises may distract some at night - but you are in the middle of the city and it is to be expected. The church bells in the morning were actually very nice! I would recommend for a city stay - comfortable for two couples.

City Stay

2 of 5
Submitted: July 18, 2012 Stayed: July 2012
The apartment was nice although a few issues severely detracted from the comfort. The master bath tub was a mess and there didn't seem to be any way to turn on the shower. Since didn't want to sit in the tub, it was really a half bath. Only one elevator was operational and it stopped on the last day. That translated into dragging all our luggage down 14 floors. NOT Fun.....

That being said the location is GREAT. The apartment was clean and very comfortable. If the building and bath issues were corrected we would rent again.
Recommended for:  Tourists without a Car
Owner's Response: Absoulely apologize.

As for the shower, there is a ring to pull down on at the bath-tub spout resulting in the water coming out of the showerhead. WIll post instructions for future guests!

Both elevators are to be replaced in the next few months and the one had been functioning well and is again now.
