Our stay in Pandera at Haiko’s place was great. We arrived the first day after dark, and his check-in instructions were spot on. First thing the next morning, we coincidentally met him while he was cleaning the pool. He was approachable, caring, and sincere. Throughout the course of our stay (7 days), we routinely saw Haiko throughout the property either maintaining the pool, helping his hired staff clean rooms, or simply checking up on his guests. He was quick to give local recommendations for bakeries, restaurants, and snorkeling spots. Throughout the stay we had numerous questions (simple things like if there was an extra citronella candle because ours ran out, or clarifying a house rule regarding pool opening times). Each time we messaged him, he answered within five minutes. Most impressive to us was the quality of the rooms. Having been caught booking a “nice-looking” rental before, only to be bait and switched, we were admittedly weary. But, that’s not the case here. It’s not overly complicated, but the fixtures, pots & pans, furniture, and the like are quality pieces that will make you most comfortable. If you are looking for a safe, quiet, relaxing stay where you may meet one or two other couples sharing your vibe, then this is the place for you. If you are looking for a party, or to stay up all night and be rowdy, then please, look elsewhere!
