Great place, Gorgeous beaches and rooms. Parking and elevator situation was frustrating.
The pool and the rooms were awesome. The coffee, food and drinks were awesome! The parking garage is not numbered in order and the booking did not tell us where our spot was so it was difficult to find. The garage is also very tight. The elevators were awful! They were very slow and usually full and we would have to wait for a long time to use it. Security was rude and the staff at the food stand by the pool were unhelpful and rude.

The perfect place to stay to get away!
The room was very clean and had a perfect view of the pool and beach. I’d definitely stay in this room again…. If it was on a different floor. The only problem we had was the elevators. This resort has 22 floors and only 2 sets of elevators, totaling 4. during our stay only 3, sometimes 2 were working. So during peak hours it would take a lot of patience waiting to get on. Many times we had to wait a second or third time for our turn on the elevator. We waited so long after we first got there we actually walked the 18 flights of steps with 4 kids. I thought I was going to die in the hot stairwell lol. Checking in was a bit of a strain as well because on line it said our wrist bands would be in the room and they were not. I also read online that our wrist bands where included but they were not and I paid around 80 bucks for them. I also see on the fridge that the price was 50 for them so idk if that was out of date or I got ripped off and had to pay for something that was supposed to be cheaper and included. But the room itself was awesome. Very clean and well stocked of essentials. They could use some updated cookware but we managed. Over all I’d stay again but maybe on a floor closer to the parking garage, a lower level.

Megan, we appreciate you taking the time to provide us with some feedback regarding your rental experience. We are happy to know that you thought this awesome one-bedroom, two-bath condo was very clean and well stocked with a perfect view. Please accept our apology for any discomfort or frustration endured during your stay. As mentioned on RealJoy and Vrbo websites, "*Shores of Panama Resort charges a flat fee of $85 at check in. This one-time charge will provide your party with pool wristbands and 1 parking pass. The fee is subject to change as it is set by the onsite HOA.*" Unfortunately, the elevators are property amenities that we do not have control over. We will forward your comment regarding the cookware to property managers so that they may provide any suggestions to the owner of this rental. Thank you for your patience and for choosing RealJoy.

It was not that bad
The good: clean condominium in very good condition, clean hotel pool and clean beaches. THE BAD: ok I'll start with THE SECURITY STAFF OF THE WHOLE HOTEL ""VERY BAD"" they think they own the entire hotel, they are foolish, arrogant and do not help, the elevators are CRAP A REAL HEADACHE, the parking lot is ANOTHER CRAP, ANOTHER REAL HEADACHE, the hot tub is only for 25 people, for a hotel with 796 condominiums I think the tub is a mockery, I THINK I'M A SADOMASOCHIST because every year I go to the same hotel but for next year IT'S TIME TO CHANGE, if you like queuing up in elevators and in your car in the parking lot and if you like bad treatment by the staff THEN THIS HOTEL IS GOOD FOR YOU. Lo bueno: condominio limpio y en muy buenas condiciones, hotel limpio alberca y playas limpias. LO MALO: ok empezaré por EL PERSONAL DE SEGURIDAD DE TODO EL HOTEL ""MUY MAL"" ellos piensan que son dueños de todo el hotel, son majaderos, prepotentes y no ayudan, los elevadores son una PORQUERIA UN VERDADERO DOLOR DE CABEZA, el estacionamiento es OTRA PORQUERIA, OTRO VERDADERO DOLOR DE CABEZA, la tina de hidromasaje es solo para 25 personas, para un hotel de 796 condominios creo que la tina es una burla, YO CREO QUE SOY SADOMASOQUISTA por que cada ano voy al mismo hotel pero para el otro ano ES TIEMPO DE CAMBIAR, si te gusta hacer filas en elevadores y en tu carro en el estacionamiento y si te gusta el mal trato por parte del personal ENTONCES ESTE HOTEL ES BUENO PARA TI.

What an amazing property. This trip was a surprise for my kids and they were stoked with everything. The view was outstanding and the condo was located close to restaurants and fun activities. The one issue and it’s a small one is the place needs more elevators as there are 23 floors and so many people trying to go up and down all the time. However, we will absolutely be booking with RealJoy again. So smooth and they worked with me when my card expired and I had to figure it out. A+ in my book and thank you for the memories.
