Way too small no communication with booking.

It was ok but a tight squeeze. I booked an up grade 2 bedroom and 2 bath but never received the room upgrade at all family of four was forced to sleep in a tight studio space with only one bathroom. Very uncomfortable sharing that kind of space with my kids and their dad. Did communicate with company but it was then the resort stating they didn’t have it available any longer but it appeared online. I’m still waiting on a refund from the over payment and then and refund from not getting the upgrade the whole thing was a headache after spending 2.5 hours in the phone with customer service, and nothing was accomplished besides a refund.
My entire space for almost a week with 4 people after booking a 2 bedroom and 2 bath I was placed here because they forgot my upgrade that I paid an extra $803 for .!

The room was nice but we won’t stay here again. Washing machine not working properly, smoke detectors beeped for 2 days until maintenance came to change batteries. Parking garage is a joke, too small for large vehicles and the turns are too tight requiring you to often back up to allow others to get through. Car was keyed while parked next to a reserved spot for a specific unit, security didn’t want to contact the condo owner.. just said they will say they didn’t do it (this was within a 4 hour window the car was parked in this spot). Security harasses guests over paper wristbands that must be worn at ALL times - this wasn’t necessary last time (only while using the amenities) my 17 year old daughter was stopped and told she couldn’t go to the room until I brought her a wristband even though she had pictures of the confirmation # the texts from the resort confirming the check in and pics of the wristbands… this was at 11 pm. There was constant music blaring from balconies as well as the condo reeking of pot smoke from neighboring units but that’s apparently allowed if you have a wristband 🙄. The pool lounge chairs were put up every time there was a chance of wind leaving guests to sit on beach towels at the pool. The elevators are often out of service and be prepared to wait 10-15 minutes to get on one especially during peak times. (Service staff use the same elevators with their cleaning carts). Oh- don’t lose your paper wristband.. the replacement fee is now $100.

This place is old and definitely needs some refurbishing. The pool was too cold to swim in and the hot tub was too full of unsupervised children for adults to even think about getting in. The parking and elevator situation were a nightmare. The only good thing about this place is the location.

What I liked - For my first time in Florida, it was a nice place and location. The room was nice a spacious also. The pool area snd beach we’re nice also. What I didn’t like - stains on the carpet in the main bedroom, very noticeable, issue with fittings in the ensuite, the toilet roll holder was loose, one of the towel railings was loose also. the toilet itself wasn’t fixed to the floor. Disappointing - I paid a cleaning fee of nearly $200 which to me seems to be a bit of a rorte, as it doesn’t look like the previous visitors cleaning payment went to cleaning the carpet and wiping down some walls. These are all fixable items that would have raised the remarks. Would I recommend the venue- I would, but your cleaning and maintenance departments needs to lift their game. Cheers

I’ve been staying there for years now. My only complaint is that they will not allow my dog to stay there but I see owners bringing their dogs along. I know the difference but also know that probably stayed in a room where dogs were brought. I wish they change the rules because my stay was wonderful but I don’t know if I can stay away for 10 days without my baby girl next time around.

We really liked the property but was very disappointed in the condo. It’s really outdated The air conditioner was very poor and the bed is broken and very uncomfortable. We have stayed there in the past but I’m not sure we will come back because of the condition of the condo.

Eeehhh

I would say our stay at Shores of Panama was ok; not great but not terrible either. The parking garage is definitely too small; someone was parked over the line in our designated space(which was complicated to find, not in any numerical order). Our parking passes and bracelets for access were not in our room as they were suppose to be. We had to go to the concierge desk the next day were I was charbed an additional $60 for passes and bracelets(they had us booked under a 2bd 2 bath when we were 3 bd 3 bath). Seemed as tho this facility was a party haven; super loud till early in the am. Our ceiling started leaking on the 15th floor, the unit smelled as tho it had sewage issues, and the hallway(outside the unit) flooded when it rained. Other than that, the location is great and tbe pool is nice.

First what I like: I like the room. It was like being at home. Plenty of space, washer/dryer, stove, fridge. Pools are nice. Staff at the pools and beach were attentive. What I didn’t like: I didn’t like the actual building. You will need a lot of patience. Elevator gets very crowded, you will need plenty of time to get out of building. Parking is pretty tight, you has to be a good driver. Avoid the lunch and dinner times, getting out will be a headache. No parking spot was assigned for us, we had to hunt for a “yellow space” every time, sometimes you will park far and will have to walk a distance. *this doesn’t have to do with hotel, but the beach was full of seaweed, not sure if it was the season but couldn’t enjoy much, stayed in the pools most of the time.

We had the most beahtiful view of the gulf from our room in 1406!! The beach had white sand and clear emerald water!! We really enjoyed the ocean water as well as the size and layout of the pool. Now for the bad, there were omly 2 elevators doe the entire condo. There is probably around 800 rooms, and all of us had to share just 2 elevators. Anytime we used the elevator it was at least a 20 minute ordeal at minimum. Secondly, our room had black moldy ceilings, pubic hair on the bed sheets, and decay of the toilet! It also needs some renovation, as most of the appliances, furniture, and decoration were out of date. For what I payed, I expected much more from this room! Check- in is terrible! You must download this app to have access to your room which has the key cards inside. Don't think about coming early ro see if your room is ready or asking the people at the front desk for help. Check in remains at 4 even if the room is ready. The people at the front desk are not even affiliated eith the shores of panama, so they cannot help you with it. You have to go to a whole different resort to talk to people about shores of panama. Lastly they charge you 60 dollars at check in for 4 paper wristbands and a rule book lol. These green wristbands must be worn at all times, security will call you out and make you go get another one. They charge 10 dollars to replace these thin paper bands if you lose them. In order to get a replacement you have to bring the old one in.

Resort collection is an outside group that handles the property at shores of Panama, but that’s the catch. They’re outside. When we arrived at the property, we couldn’t immediately check in and had to walk to edge water (which is a few miles; and we couldn’t get an u we cause uber run scarce). Anyways, the company that runs it wouldn’t even give us a ride back to our hotel. The only thing that saved our trip was the water fun & amenities.

Ridiculous

The room/condo itself was really nice and comfy. They refused to give me a regular key and the digital key sucked. We had to have someone stay in the room so that we could get back in because the digital key stopped unlocking the door. They communication was ridiculous. I was put through all kinds of red tape just to get checked in and to get a digital key code.

My biggest complaint is the elevators. Terrible!! Parking deck, Terrible!!.. i didnt like the fact you pay all this money to stay for an entire week but still got to pay for a wristband to park and get in the pool that you have already paid to stay in that resort!! No other resort i have ever stayed in made you pay to get in their pool that you are staying in..awful!! Never will we stay again.. ill find somewhere better that doesnt have those ridiculous fees

Room was clean and as expected BUT Was not able to check into the room until 7pm, paid to park 2 cars and only had one spot and wasn’t allowed to park in any other spot, security at the pool was very rude, never once used the elevator it would pass your floor and then be so crowded you couldn’t get on.
