Shores of Panama 3BR/3Bath Ocean Front Condo/Sleeps 8/Amenity Pool Fees Included

So sorry for the long review, but so necessary. This review is more about the resort and less about the condo. I can say I have never left a negative review on a vacation. The condo itself was just ok. There are many small things that were not appealing about the condo that simply showed neglect and possible extreme use. The street noise on the street side of the condo greatly affects two of the bedrooms (make sure and bring a fan to help drown out the noise). The bedding in this condo really needs updating (very uncomfortable, more suited for young people). The overall facility has an unclean feel and is probably due to the great mass of people that stay at this resort. You do have a great view of the pool area and ocean from this condo!! The pool itself is beautiful!! The negative is that you will not be able to get a chair around the pool during the busy season, unless you break the rules and go down early in the morning to reserve chairs with towels. We obeyed the "towel" rule all week and never was able to get a chair around the pool until we finally rebelled and went down early Friday morning and reserved a few chairs with towels (it worked!) This is also not a place for someone whom goes to bed before midnight(there is a chance it is only noisy the second week of July). The parking at this facility is pretty rough. It has a parking garage that can be quite intimidating. Keep in mind that EVERYONE in this condo, which has 24 floors of condos all park in this garage. It is also noteworthy to add you probably will not be able to have a luggage carrier on your vehicle and actually fit in the garage (or for that matter have a raised truck). And also, which goes without saying, the elevators do take a very very long time. The owner provided us a great tip which is to drive up to the ninth floor and unload to avoid dealing with the elevators. To sum it all up, if you are a teenager/young adult and love to party, this is a great place and is very close to the clubs (nightlife) and other attractions. I really hope this review is helpful to other travelers.

To begin with, our reserved parking spot was taken by another person 3 different times. I really did not want to have them towed for fear they may do something to our car out of spite. My wristbands were prepaid and was told they would be there at check in. After standing in 2 lines I was told they were probably in our condo. They were not. I went back and had to pay $50 to get the bands, but was told by Allison Hayes, our contact, That I would reimbursed. That took an hour of standing in line for. What I thought was a 3 bedroom, was 2 bedrooms and a closet with bunk beds with no Place to even put clothes in that tiny room. The unit had dirty dishes in the kitchen cabinets. Security was rude to my son when questioned about wearing the band that was around his ankle the whole time. I realize some of this is out of your control, but the wristbands issue our “3” bedroom condo and the dirty dishes was very disappointing.. We paid over $2800 for that unit. It was for sure a let down. Thanks for listening.

The unit was very clean . The unit was very spacious. This is a great location right on the beach with access to dining , fun , and shopping. I would definitely stay there again

well equipped and clean. entire property is well kept and in a great location

Our family stayed here in November. The unit was very clean, spacious, soooooo convenient to grocery store, restaurants, and the GORGEOUS beach!! We could see the kids playing on the beach and at the amazing pool/hot tub from the unit's balcony. This place really exceeded our expectations and we are already trying to figure out how soon we can return.
