Amador Suites Apartment Rental Rates

All prices are quoted in US Dollars. Our prices are all-inclusive for a one week rental. This includes all linens, a fully equipped kitchen, utilities* and free high speed internet. There are no additional taxes or fees, except for your phone bill.

Rental Terms and Conditions:

1. What's Included: Our rental prices include all fees in the quoted price. The rental price includes taxes, heating, gas, water, sheets and towels, basic household supplies and normal electricity usage. Household supplies include a small supply of coffee, toilet paper, paper towels, soap, and household cleansers to get you through the first days.
   
2. Telephone: You will be provided with a pay-as-you-go cellular phone for local calls and instructions for refill. Please note that we cannot refund for unused minutes purchased. For long distance, we ask you to bring an ATT or long distance phone card which allows you to call FROM Panama to other countries. Or, purchase a phone card in Panama for your use.
   
3. Normal utility usage is included. All our apartments have air conditioning and guests control the thermostat. You may incur charges for air conditioning should your usage significantly exceed normal usage. In a few cases, guests have left windows open while the air conditioning was running, which led to extremely high utility bills. As a result of these rare exceptions, we take a reading of the electric meter when you arrive and after you depart to track utility usage and to protect ourselves. We have never taken advantage of a guest in terms of extra charges but if guests abuse the system, we will need to charge them for it.
   
4. Reservations: If you would like to reserve one of our apartments, please email us to check availability. We will get back to you promptly. Don't hesitate to ask questions! Our goal is to give people the opportunity to have a fabulous stay in Panama, and leave knowing they will come back to Panama and our apartments time and again. The more you know, the more you will enjoy our apartments and our special area.
   
5. Booking Form: Once we have agreed on the apartment and dates, we will email you our booking form, confirmation of rental amount and deposit instructions. Please sign the booking form and email back to us.
   
6. Initial Payment: In order to secure your reservation, we require a payment of 50% of the rental cost, unless we are within 60 days of your arrival. If you have booked the apartment for arrival within 60 days, then we require full payment plus refundable security deposit now. Your rental will be confirmed when you have emailed us a signed copy of the rental agreement and paid 50% of the rental.
   
7. Arrival and Apartment Information: On receipt of the deposit, your reservation will be confirmed and we will email you a complete information packet which explains arrival details, keys and so on. When you arrive you'll find a binder in the apartment that includes information on the apartment and area, highlighting the important local shops, markets and restaurants.We include ideas of activities and advice on travel, telephones, shopping and more. Part of the fun of coming to Panama and staying in an apartment is to live like a local and our information packet allows you to enjoy your stay in Panama to the fullest.
   
8. Final Payment and Security Deposit: The remaining 50% of the rent plus a $500.00 USD refundable security deposit are due 60 days before your arrival. If a reservation is made within 60 days of arrival, then the entire amount plus refundable security deposit is due on booking. The security deposit is fully refundable and we will give it back after you departure, minus any reserves for damage or excessive utility usage.
   
9. Security Deposit: The $500.00 security deposit is fully refundable. The purpose of the deposit is to cover us for potential damage to property, extra cleaning if the apartment isn't left as expected, and for excessive utility usage. Frankly, we have almost never had to retain anyone's deposit and we have never had a dispute. We are prompt in refunding it within 3 weeks of your departure.
   
10. Phone Usage: Panama is different from North America in that the phone company charges by the minute for local phone calls in addition to the cost of monthly line rental. Long distance calls cost 2-3X more than in the U.S. You will therefore be provided with a cellular phone for local calls that has $5 worth of local call on it. The phone minutes are refillable as you desire to purchase.(Please note that we are unable to refund you for any unused minutes. )You are kindly requested to use a calling card or your cell phone for all long distance calls.
    
11. Cancellation: We strongly recommend you buy travel insurance at the time of booking to compensate you in the event you must cancel. When you book we will email you optional travel insurance forms for your own ease of use.
    Canceling beyond 120 days before arrival: the initial payment is fully refundable minus a $235 administration fee and 2% bank processing fee. 120 to 61 days before arrival: 35% of total rent is retained. Within 60 days: rent is non refundable. In any case, the security deposit is fully refundable.
    
12. Travel Insurance: It is hard to believe it will happen to you, but the best laid plans can sometimes go awry. To protect yourself, we strongly encourage you to take out an inexpensive travel insurance policy in case an emergency arises and you need to cancel. We advise you to buy travel insurance when you book because we cannot be held responsible for cancellations for any reason. When you book we will email you optional travel insurance forms (one with and the other without medical coverage) from Travelex for your own ease of use. Travelex is one of several vendors, we're happy with them, kids are covered free, but make your own decision as to insurance vendor.
    
13. Cleaning: The apartment will be thoroughly clean when you arrive and we request it be left tidy when you depart. If your stay is longer than 7 days, a maid service will be provided once per week as specified on arrival. Plant watering service is provided on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays.
    
14. Arrival and Departure Times: We know what it's like to arrive in Panama after an all-night flight so we try to be as accommodating as possible. Officially, our check-in time is 3:30 p.m., and check-out time is noon. However, the departing guests generally don't mind if you drop your luggage at the apartment early, as we have generally accommodated them when they arrived early. We do need time for our cleaners to thoroughly clean the apartment; therefore, we ask you to take a walk, have lunch, buy your groceries, explore the neighborhood, and to return later.
