Was here for Labor Day weekend. The property at Shores of Panama is Awesome!! The room we were in was very nice, and had an Amazing View, Room #1212! Yes, we'd stay here again in a heartbeat, but I do have to mention some things. 1st off the arrival to the unit is awesome, you have the parking code and the key code to the door so no waiting in a line to check-in, just go straight to the room!! Parking really wasn't an issue at all, we parking on the 12th floor right where our room was. Now, we did not leave the resort the whole time we were there, we walked everywhere, to eat and to shop so we didn't have to fight for a parking spot. There is plenty to do within walking distance!! This resort is huge! Yes, the elevators are SUPER SLOW!! We did take the stairs most of the time, good thing we are in shape because going up and down 12 flight of stairs was for sure a workout! This did not impact our time here, and we are not ones to complain about this, just take that into note when you stay here!! We did hear people saying the elevators got stuck a bunch of times with people in them, but there were signs everywhere stating no more than 10-12 people per elevator and if it gets stuck you will be charged! The room itself was great!! The bed did not sleep very well tho. I think it really needs updated! We did have an issue with the washer, as it basically flooded the bathroom floor on me, I contacted the owner and she immediately had someone come and fix the problem. The water pressure was awesome in the shower, and we never had an issue with having hot water!! The beach area here was very, very packed! I would assume it's because Pineapple Willys is next door? Still no worries, we took advantage of our complimentary chairs on the beach each day of our stay and enjoyed the beach and ocean water!! The water was Very Clear and we saw tons of fish while snorkeling! I have seen that this owner has other units so next time we book we probably will book a lower unit, so we don't have to tackle 12 flights of stairs!! Each night there was a guy that sang and played his guitar and it echoed very loudly, but we truly enjoyed it! Yes, at nights it did get loud with a lot of people hollering and screaming from their balconies, but with the door closed you couldn't hear it in the room! Pools were very clean!! Great Foods at the pool!! Loved booking with Nicholle, and I'm sure we will go back!! Thanks!
