Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Everything in unit was great but the construction noise since early morning, we was not aware of this or the fee for beach umbrella and chairs rental, we assumed that was included in the bill.
Response from VrboOwner on 28 Apr, 2026
Thank you for your review Alma, we are very glad to hear you enjoyed the unit itself. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience caused by the nearby construction noise. We understand how disruptive that can be, especially during early mornings, and we regret that this impacted your stay. Regarding the beach service, we would like to clarify that our website does not indicate that beach chairs and umbrellas are complimentary. The guidebook shared prior to arrival also notes that there is an on-site vendor available for rentals. That said, we understand how this could have been unclear, and we appreciate you bringing it to our attention. Please also know that our team is always available prior to arrival via text, phone call, or email to assist with any questions or help clarify amenities so there are no surprises during your stay. We truly appreciate your feedback and hope to have the opportunity to host you again for an even better experience. Warm regards, Benchmark Management

Shores of Panama was a nice property as a whole. There were parts under construction so it was noisy. Our unit was clean but very very dated and not coastal or a beach vibe at all. From the inside of the unit decor, you may have thought you were in Arizona. Just weird. The amenities were good except you can’t have tubes or floats in the pool. We thought that was unnecessary, there was plenty of room. We have stayed in places with much smaller pools and floats were not a problem. We found that the pot smoking was rampant and it ruined our ability to sit on our balcony and enjoy the views. That was disappointing.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are pleased to hear that you enjoyed many aspects of Shores of Panama, including the property's amenities and the cleanliness of your unit. We understand your disappointment regarding the ongoing construction and the associated noise. While improvement projects are intended to enhance the property for future guests, we recognize that they can impact the guest experience during a stay. We also appreciate your comments regarding the unit's décor and furnishings. As each condo is individually owned, styles and updates vary from unit to unit. We will be sure to share your feedback with the owner for their consideration. Regarding pool float restrictions, these policies are established by the condominium association and are intended to promote safety and ensure all guests can comfortably enjoy the pool area. We are especially sorry to hear that smoke from neighboring areas affected your ability to enjoy the balcony. Unfortunately, this can be difficult for management to control when it originates from other guests or surrounding properties, but we understand how frustrating that can be. Thank you again for your valuable feedback. We hope you will consider staying with us again in the future. Regards, Benchmark Management

Thank you for your feedback, Melonie. We’re glad to hear you found the property beautiful, though we’re sorry the balcony was unavailable during your stay. At times, the HOA requires temporary closures for inspections or maintenance to ensure the safety of the building, and we understand how disappointing it can be not to enjoy the ocean views from the balcony. To help make up for the inconvenience, we did provide compensation during your stay and also offered an additional discount for a future visit. We truly appreciate your understanding and hope to have the opportunity to host you again so you can fully enjoy all the amenities the property has to offer. Sincerely, Benchmark Management

Continual Harrasment at the Pool / Hot Tub

Rating Details: The property manager was very unhelpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: All guests have never been harassed as much as at this property. Everyone was continually complaining to the pool security from the moment the pool opened until it closed. Even if you followed the posted rules, the security would make up rules that weren't on the posted signs. One night, they tried shutting down the hot tub early and not because we were all following the rules but because we were pointing out that they were trying to enforce rules that were against the posted rules at the hot tub. I do not recommend this property until they change security companies. Totally riduculous.

HORRIBLE

The condo was dirty, all the dishes were dirty, the dryer was broken which I reported in the first day and no one ever fixed it. We only had 3 towels for 6 guest, no one could help me get more they said to go buy some at the store. When there is any issue no one would help, I kept getting sent to the answering service and they could offer no help. The condo is out of date, the microwave is taped together. The building is huge so that means a lot of people there and only two working elevators The staff was not friendly and the parking garage is confusing as to where to park , I only learned bc another person staying helped. They will tow your car if you are not parked in a yellow spot but they do not tell you that ! The pool is very nice and the location is great !

Hi Shenna, thanks for staying with us at Shores of Panama and for providing this review. We are happy that you found the location great and that you loved the amenity of the pool. On the other hand; we do apologize for letting you down in the area of cleanliness; we also thank you for quickly reporting any issues you were experiencing as this allowed us to fix what we could at the time. Please note that in regards to towels, we only supply the amount that the unit sleeps; however if we should happen to find extras then we can make an exception to deliver more. Please note however that guests are informed of the number of towels given prior to arrival. This information can be found in the guest guidebook sent prior to arrival. In regards to being sent to answering service, after making the necessary checks we found that you were contacting us after our office closed; as such you would only get through to our after hours answering service. We did however follow-up with you when we re-opened. We are also pleased to inform you that there is no longer an issue with the dryer. We have also reached out to the relevant team regarding the microwave. Please note that Benchmark is not in charge of the elevators. This is handled by the resort itself; as such we have passed your comments along to them. Due to this being handled by a third party; we have no control over the work schedule. Your comments regarding the staff at the resort have also been taken into account; We certainly appreciate it and take all these comments seriously as we want to be accurately represented on all fronts! Thanks again for choosing to stay with us! We truly hope that with the afore mentioned issues being fixed that we can welcome you for a better vacation experience with us! Regards, Benchmark Management

Fantastic view, but beware, broken dryer and old decor

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We've stayed at the Shores of Panama numerous times. We know what to expect from these condos. This one was in a superb location, but the interior of the condo was in great disrepair and sadly needed a lot of attention. The dryer belt was broken so the dryer never worked. Very difficult to deal with at the beach with a lot of humidity and everything wet. The rubber lining of the fridge was falling off, the bathroom doors were peeling, the couch is incredible old, the pull out mattress is stained and hard, the stickers on the wall for decoration are peeling, the pots and pans are rusted and gross. It was rough and sad. It wouldn't take much to revive this incredible unit that has the best views and easy access to the back elevator. I highly recommend the owner make these changes and show new photos.
