We had an absolutely incredible stay at Panacea in La Veleta and are already planning our next trip—this time for a much longer stay!
The location couldn’t have been better. It’s just a few minutes’ walk to Calle 7 Sur, where you’ll find cafés, restaurants, and bars, making it easy to explore the neighborhood on foot while still enjoying a peaceful setting.
The check-in process was seamless, and every single person we interacted with was genuinely warm, welcoming, and helpful. We rented bikes directly from the host for just 100 pesos each and spent the day riding to Aldea Zamá. It’s about a 15–20 minute ride. The roads are a bit rough in places since some are unpaved, but we expected that and still had a great time exploring.
We stayed in the penthouse apartment, which included our own private rooftop pool. It was such a luxury to have our own space to relax, and we also had a beautiful view overlooking the main pool below. Although we never used the main pool, it looked gorgeous. The property also has a well-equipped gym on the first floor across from the pool with everything you need for a workout.
One of our favorite parts of staying here was how peaceful it was. Every morning we woke up to the sound of birds singing, and we were always greeted by the sweetest resident cat.
We went into Centro a couple of days and down to the beach to explore but you really don’t even have to leave the neighborhood. Can’t wait to book our next stay!
