Beach Front Condo

The host was attentive and the property’s view was amazing! However, the bed in the master suite was very uncomfortable and the bedding did not smell as if it had been recently washed! The floors also were dirty! It was extremely cold during our visit and the thermostat was not initially working. There were no toiletries in the bathroom. I would not choose to stay at this location again!

Good view from the balcony.

Balcony view was good. Grounds were well kept. Pool area very nice.Renovations going on so it was a little noisy .Did not use the hot tub.Condo was basically clean but a full length mirror would be nice when dressing to go out.

We loved everything from the first minute we got there. The view of the ocean from the balcony was incredible, not to mention the beautiful pool view also. The pool at night is lite up like a tropical paradise. The condo had all the amenities you could need to make our stay great!

Needs updating very bad. Floors were very dirty. Furniture was very used and not in the best condition. Thankfully we go to spend majority of the time on the beach and had a wonderful time on the beach. I have stayed in another condo before at Shores of Panama and it was much cleaner, updated and provided everything you need and more. Would have stayed there if it had been available. Other places we have stayed usually have plenty of supplies but this place had the very minimal….not even salt and pepper. Decent view of the pool and beach. This unit is on 13th floor and garage only goes up to 12th floor so had to unload and load and make multiple trips. This side of the resort has two elevators and one elevator was down half the week causing a few headaches dealing with waiting on rides down/up. Shores of Panama has a great pool and location is good but would not stay at this unit again.

Good

The condo is very inexpensive for being 2 bedrooms on the beach. So, you get what you pay for. The kitchen had your basic pots and pans, cooking utensils, and dishes. I did have to wash many of them before we used them. They provide minimal towels, but there is a washer and dryer to use. Do we made it work. The resort charges a 90 fee to get wristbands and a pass for the parking garage. That was not in the listing when I booked. The building wasn’t built as a resort initially. So there are few elevators and they run slow. The pool is nice. The hot tub is fine if you like children swimming all around you. We loved sitting on the balcony and staring at the water. All in all, it’s worth the price. Could be cleaned better, but nothing unsanitary

So the condo is very small and out dated. Seems like it was originally a one bedroom converted to 2 but rooms are small. Fridge is way too big but there are 2 in the unit. Oven door does scrape it. No real charm to it. Old beat up furniture. Floor pretty dirty mildew on shower curtains and shower stall. Towels smelled of mildew like they had been left to sit in the washer too long before drying. Sleeper sofa in living room had to be repositioned otherwise it would block access to kitchen area and balcony and had not been cleaned under in a long time!! Very uncomfortable mattress on it. Owner does not own a parking space so you only get 1 parking pass even though I asked for 2 and was told if not possible security will tell me where to park. What he didn’t mention is the closest parking is almost a mile away and you have to pay. Elevators were not meant for the amount of traffic in the building so plan to wait a long time!! Employees were extremely rude and most didnt speak clear English. Deena (sp?) an older lady at the front desk was the nicest though super sweet. The big pool was nice but changing this building from a live in to a rental business was dumb it’s way too crowded. Would not stay again.

The owner switched my reservation 2 days before check in to a unit with a broken air conditioner (without my consent). We had no AC two of our three nights. I spent at least 6 hours of my vacation on the phone trying to get him to fix it. I checked in on Friday and it wasnt fixed until Sunday. Worse yet, the owner blamed me claiming i broke it by leaving the balcony door open (which i didnt). He claimed the same AC tech came out on Saturday and Sunday but i was there on Sunday when it was fixed and the technician said his company was never called out the day before and that what was wrong had nothing to do with me. The resort itself was great but i would never stay in another property owned by this individual ever again

The apartment was in a good location close to most things and was on the beach. We had a great time
