    Description

    In this small area Saigon stands this small property with two cabanas called: Panama’s Paradise.
    They have been lacking maintenance over the last period of time due to Corona and economically bad times.
    Lately we have been making progress, thanks also to you guys from Workaway.
    Now we need people that want to do their art and make a change, to make this place shine again.
    Paining, Tiling, woodwork, plumbing, cleaning , gardening, artistic and interior design etc etc.
    Als we want some nice pictures being taken.
    Please let us know when you could come, what you can do to help us with and how we can make your stay worthwhile.

    On the main Island of the archipelago Bocas del Toro, named Isla Colon, you'll find us. We are situated on a small property near the water, surrounded by lots of lush, green tropical plants in a quiet neighborhood with that perfect tropical vibe. The sea is around the corner and the beach is only 5 min walking. You are just ten minutes bike ride from downtown.

    You are surrounded by the local people and witness their normal daily life. At the same time enjoying the numerous visits of hummingbirds to the tropical garden surrounding the cabanas. From out of your hammock and with a freshly blended fruit juice within reach, you find out what life is like in paradise.

    We manage a small rental business, just two cabins and they need some tender loving care and that special touch.

    Excited to hear what you have to offer,

    Best regards,
    Nanan and Jenny
