Shores of Panama 711~2 Bedroom

Not 2 bedroom as advertised, one bedroom and a bunk bed in a closet. Room too far from beach. Blankets thin as paper towels. But worst of all: Dead bolt completely useless. Frame of door chiseled and beat up, bolt twists at will and won’t go in door frame. I reported it but “Farah” didn’t care to address it. Felt very Unsafe at this unit that close to the garage with no dead bolt. Fix it!!!

Overall, this condo was great. The listing was fully accurate. We had everything we needed to get us started in the room. The reserved parking space is right by the entry into Floor 7, and the room is literally the first door to the left. The Shores of Panama has a lot of really great amenities! Coffee/donut/ice cream shop downstairs... Food and bar cabanas at the giant pool... Direct access to the beach... 5 minute walk to Pineapple Willy's... 8 minute walk to donut shops, ice cream shops, souvenirs, etc... 15 minute walk to Walmart... And plenty more! Some key things to note: - The parking deck takes a while to drive up and down to/from your floor, so add 10 minutes to your planning. - Additionally, the parking deck entrance/exit is on a two-lane street on a curve beside Pineapple Willy's. Trying to exit the deck in the evenings can take a little longer with the traffic. - There are only 4 elevators at Shores of Panama, and they are almost always terribly congested. Half the time we would just take the stairs. The main rush hour times throughout the day could leave you waiting 30 minutes for an elevator. (Grateful this condo is on floor 7!!) - Pool chairs typically fill up starting around 10-10:30, and then after that you just need to be looking close for someone leaving. Lots of chairs on the pool deck, but obviously way more people.

This condo on the beach is absolutely cute as button, decorated and equipped with ALL of the right things! Plenty of seating on the balcony for early morning coffee watching the sunrise and listening to the sound of the ocean while folks start stirring about on the sandy white beaches below. LOVED that parking was on the same level as the condo and was only a few short steps down the hallway to the parking garage. Right next door to Pineapple Willy's, across the street from WalMart and Waffle House...you really don't have to leave unless you just want to get out and about in the hustle and bustle of PCB. The only complaint I have is the wait time for the elevators during the day/evening, whether traveling up or down, you could always anticipate a wait and then, be ready to get close and hope no one forgot their deodorant!

The resort is very pretty the room was great. My only complaint on the room is the master bed was horrible. I had too sleep several nights on the couch. The bed was extra firm same level as sleeping on hard tiled floor. The pool was shut fine the majority of our stay. There is an indoor pool but I didn’t want to fly 1500 miles to swim indoors. Nice little restaurant and bar on property. The view was stunning.

It was ok

This property requires all guests to have an RFID bracelet on at all times and if it rips off in the water or for any reason, they charge a $100 fee to replace it. It’s extremely frustrating to try to make sure they are ripping at anytime and always worrying about it. The pool is murky at best. ALL of the chairs at the tall tables are coming apart/wobbly. They are terribly made. Over all things seemed dirtier than other condos we have stayed in. At peak hours it took up to an hour to get on the elevator. The condo itself wasn’t terrible but definitely needs a deep clean. The dishwasher doesn’t clean well at all. The washer is full of mold. It’s not very well stocked. They don’t have many towels and almost no extra blankets.

Farah was amazing, communication was super easy. Condo was very clean when we arrived, the kitchen was stocked with all the necessary gadgets and cooking tools. The beds were very comfortable along with the furniture. Parking….is the best! Garage is tight but as long as you take your time, it’s fine. This resort is beautiful and the way the employees are constantly cleaning and taking care of the area is impressive! Yes, there is a lot of security but I’d rather have that than none at all. We had a great trip!

Really enjoyed this condo! The parking was basically right outside the door. Wonderful view of the pool and ocean. The elevators can be frustrating but not a deal breaker.

Excellent access from parking to condo door. We loved this. Easy to carry in all the things. We feel that floors 5-8 are prime. Love the softness of the colors and decor. Kitchen had everything we needed. Overall an excellent place!

This was a great place to stay for my family. We had a really fun time. The unit itself was very clean and a perfect size. I loved that our designated parking spot was so close to the door and we didn’t have to transport stuff up and down. The pool at shores of Panama was very nice and the bar and grill at the pool was very good as well. I also loved being right on the beach. The only thing that was not 100% for us was all the college kids around town and at the beach. A lot of profanity and music that is not family friendly to say the least. It may have been just the timing since it’s graduation season. This was our second time vacationing in PCB and it was not that way last time. It did not stop us from having a great time though! We will definitely be back. The host was very communicative and reached out with reminders and made us feel welcome.

Would love to come back
