Check in process was a little confusing. We had drove a long time and arrived at check in at 4pm but did not receive a code until 5pm. The room was very clean. Probably one of the cleanest places I have ever stayed. The kitchen had all the amenities you needed. Nice washer and dryer. The view was beautiful! The master bed was very uncomfortable. The bunk beds and pullout were very comfortable.

Nice unit, Won’t be returning
The unit it’s self was nice, and as described. Appliances were all new and the AC worked excellent. There were plenty of towels and blankets. The kids slept great in the bunk beds. The master bed was hard and extremely uncomfortable and the room desperately needs room darkening shades, as the exterior lights shine significantly through the closed blinds. We also killed multiple roaches in the kitchen. But we will never be returning to Shores of Panama. Way too few elevators for that many units. We often waited 10-20 minutes for an elevator. One day, 3 of the 6 elevators were down at the same time, in the middle of checkout. We walked up/down 15 flights of stairs, multiple times. The parking deck is a cluster of oversized cars, making super tight turns. Since other property management companies allow 18 year olds to rent, it is a party 24/7. The building was filled with kids that have no respect for the property or other people. We could ignore the filth coming from their mouth and speakers, but we couldn’t ignore the party they had the night before. The beach was trashed every morning. We had to clean up beer cans, glass liquor bottles, and trash before we could set up on the beach. I hate that our experience with the building was so terrible because overall, the unit was nice. But we work hard for our money and vacations are a financial sacrifice for our family. To spend our one family vacation, surrounded by filth and underage intoxication, was heartbreaking.

Shores of Panama #1502
There were really only a few issues. The parking spot was 6 floors away from the unit which wouldn’t have been an issue except the elevators were constantly long wait times. The unit itself is quite outdated (especially for the price). The master bed leans with quite a slant towards the head of the bed. The cushions in the living room on both couches springs were so badly worn that they all seemed to create an irregular lump in the middle of each one making it incredibly hard to sit on comfortabley. Other than that, the air conditioner was immaculate. The towels were plenty and crisp. The water pressure was delightful!! The bunk beds were amazing for my kids. The streaming systems (Netflix etc) were a plenty and the Wi-Fi connection was the best I have experienced at shores of Panama this far. The ease of check in and check out in tandem with the communication from book that condo was unmatched. My overall suggestions are updated furniture in the living room and and adjustment to the master bedroom bed, as well as a more accessible parking spot due to long elevator wait times.

Beautiful view, elevators are awful
The unit was nice overall with a beautiful view right on the ocean. If I booked again I would try to get a unit several stories lower than the 15th floor just so you could look down off the balcony and not feel like you're so high up. 8th or 9th floor would be ideal I think. Also the other reviews about the elevator issues were spot on! We got there Thursday and the wait for the elevator was only around 5 minutes but then one of the two elevators shut down on Saturday afternoon and it wasn't fixed by the time we left on Tuesday! We waited at least 10 minutes every time we needed to go up or down (took the stairs down a few times so we didn't miss our Uber ride) and a few times it took close to 20 minutes to get back up to our room! It felt like a big waste of our precious vacation time and it's very hot in the elevator area and especially inside the elevator where people were trying to cram into because they were desperate not to wait on it for yet another round! The bed is pretty comfortable at first but it doesn't have much support and my husband was up early every day, especially the last few days of our stay because it was hard on his back to sleep on it very long. The pool area is beautiful and the food hut has pretty good fried food (always out of jerk chicken) and drink bar has good drinks but they do cost about $11 for a small solo cup. I suggest going to Pineapple Willy's to get a souvenir cup of frozen drink on day 1 for $20 and then you get refills for $10 and they are much bigger than the drinks at the pool bar. Willy's is usually quite busy but the wait doesn't actually take that long because they have lots of seating and good food! I suggest the pulled pork nachos! I highly suggest taking advantage of the Sunshine Shuttle airport transportation service offered through Xplori when booking this condo if you aren't getting a rental car! It only costed me $22 total for the roundtrip which was for the tip. They were easy to work with and professional. However, my experience using Xplori to book a tee time at Bay Point Golf was NOT good! I ended up paying $90 to Xplori when I booked it and they lady on the phone told me that was to cover the other golfer (since one golfer was suppose to be free through them) and rental clubs. However, I had to pay an additional $120 when we got to the course and the course manager said he had no idea why I was charged $90 through Xplori because I still owed for the other golfer! Rip off!

Enjoyable stay!
We enjoyed our stay at this condo! You absolutely cannot beat the view, it was amazing!! The beds were super comfortable, specifically the master bedroom. Great water pressure in both showers. Plenty of cookware if you decide to stay in and eat. The tiki bar drinks were sooo good! The owners were always quick to respond if we had any questions. As stated in other reviews, the elevators and parking garage were somewhat a pain at times. Elevators quit working on the last day so we had to carry all of our luggage down the stairs. No kitchen trash bags and the condo could use some updates but that was not a game changer for us. We definitely had a great time here!

Uncomfortable
The resort was pretty good. If your planning on visiting during the summer DO NOT STAY HERE!! The elevators and parking garage will consume most of your vacation. The unit was terrible! The bed was as hard as bedrock and the living room furniture is worn out. The balcony furniture will be the most comfortable you will be your entire stay. The carpet is horrid as well. If the unit had some updating it would be fine. Great view! Overall if you plan on visiting shores of Panama during the off season you should be fine, but not during busy season because of elevators.

Perfect Honeymoon!
The condo was absolutely amazing!! I'm 5' and had to jump into the bed it's so tall LOL!!! There were hangers, beach chairs, a stroller, and a few other things in the closet that were greatly appreciated!! The kitchen was fully stocked with everything we needed to cook! Walmart is literally walking distance and a 1 minute drive away! We absolutely loved being able to hang out in the living room to a perfect view! We seen dolphins off the balcony a few mornings too! We sat out on the balcony and took in the perfect view every morning, day, and/or night!! You have a complete 180 view of the beach! ❤ Plus we could see Pineapple Willy's dock to know how busy it was! 🤣 (It's our FAV!) The resort has its own walk out and rinse station. There are chairs infront of the resort. We weren't sure if you had to pay for them so we used them after 5 when the pads and umbrellas were picked up. There is a bar and small restaurant at the pool and a cute ice cream shop in the lobby! The pool is huge!! We loved being able to hang out after the sun went down and hop in the hot tub! (It's a little fight to get a spot in the hot tub but eventually people leave lol) The only thing that sucks has nothing to do with the condo itself but the elevators and parking garage are a headache. Otherwise we 100% recommend this condo to anyone!! It's absolutely perfect!

An OK property, needs updates.
We enjoyed our stay at The Shores of Panama. The resort itself was not that great. The elevators were a pain, it took us 15 minutes to get to the ground floor almost every time and they were stuffed to the brim every time. Also at night there was so much yelling from the balconies it just got annoying by the end of our stay, thankfully our condo faced the beach and the yelling was somewhat less noticeable. The condo itself was ok. The living area was filthy, the couch the carpet and rug. The king size bed in the bedroom was nice but we felt like the bed was going to come apart every time we turned. Same thing with the bunk beds. Bathrooms need an update. People pay so much money to stay there at least put a toilet paper holder in there. The shower heads were moldy and rusty.

Don’t read the reviews! It was great!
We were so scared going into our week at Shores of Panama because we could only find bad reviews. The majority complained of the elevators and parking. We decided to go on with an open mind and could not be happier! We never had to wait longer than 5 minutes for an elevator. The elevators were pretty full but to be expected from such a large resort! Even when we missed an elevator, there was always space on the next one. This condo was at the very end so we used the elevators on the end and was a short walk from the condo. Parking on the 9th floor was SUPER close to the walkway to the elevators. We had an assigned spot so never had to worry about where to park. Our guest parking pass was only $20 for the week and they never had issues finding a spot either! Parking garage IS tight but just take the corners slow and you’re all good. You’re on vacation, take it easy! The pool was AMAZING!!!!! It was HUGE and so many different areas to hang out. We never had an issue getting a chair or two (even with a family of 6). The food shack at the pool was DELICIOUS! Great prices and food was amazing. We ate lunch there every day. Our favorites were the chicken tender baskets $12ish and mozzarella sticks $7ish. There’s also a pizza place, donut shop, ice cream shop, coffee shop, AND bar all on the property! Super convenient. The property requires wristbands to get to the pool so that cuts out on any unwanted guests. Conveniently located to Pineapple Willys too! We walked there for dinner one night. The only complaint I have is with the line of chairs for rent in front of the resort. They took up so much space. But we still were able to find a spot for our tent every day. All in all, I wish I never read any negative reviews! We had a blast and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves! The condo was great with a picture perfect view.
