  We had a very good experience staying in the Shores of Panama. Beautiful sunset view. Very clean room. The only thing we didn’t like it’s a mattress in the muster bedroom.

  Melinda C from Lavaca, AR recommends this vacation rental

  The condo wasn't anything special, but it was enough. It could use some updating. There were places on the walls that had been toughed up with paint that didn't match, the air conditioner wasn't very sufficient, the bed and pillows were not very comfortable. The parking garage was way far from the condo we stayed in.
  On the other hand, there was plenty of hot water, the views were magnificent, and the pool area was beautiful.

  LORI W from HARRISBURG, IL recommends this vacation rental

  This is our 1st time using VRBO. I did A LOT of researching, reading reviews & doing my homework. Of course worrying all the way there I was going to be disappointed and to say I was emotionally over excited to arrive and say every single detail was legit!! We are already wanting to come back!! I downloaded the app which was very easy. I messaged the owner of the unit we were in & he was super nice & helpful and very quick to respond. AWESOME!!

  Condo was lovely. Resort fairly nice right on the beach. The parking garage was a nightmare.

  Brett H from Ball Ground , Georgia does not recommend this vacation rental.

  We had originally booked splash but splash pad was under renovations and was thankful to be moved to another location. Management was apologetic and nice and didn’t know of the renovations. Overall stay was ok but did not feel safe after a woman fell from the 13th floor directly above us as we were on the 10th. No one notified us or asked questions. We were told nothing. We simply walked out of room and saw the crime scene directly outside our door with four kids in tow. The indoor pool was so strong of chlorine it bleached my kids swimming trunks and would burn your eyes just to sit in indoor pool room. Also the internet in the room would stop working periodically. My review is based on how we did not feel safe and wasn’t notified, indoor pool being too strong, and the internet going down every evening. The overall room was ok and had a beautiful view of the pool and beach. The couch fold out mattress was also nice and thick. The management team was very helpful and nice to get us moved to this location as this review isn’t based off them.

  a guest from watervliet, NY recommends this vacation rental

  Unit was perfect for our family of 5, excellent communication with owner and they were very accommodating in making sure we had what we needed for a day after Christmas Check in. Only complaint would be the A/C unit is very loud and the freezer must have been left open before our check in as there was a giant chunk of ice on the bottom

  a guest from Nashville, TN recommends this vacation rental

  Management company was outstanding - very prompt and courteous to all our needs. Overall, great location if you like being right next to Pineapple Willy's (and I mean the front door looks at the restaurant so you can see the wait time). Beach in July is very over-crowded there, painfully so. The pool area was nice and tropical & we loved the tiki bar. The parking garage is a nightmare with very tight corners, large trucks and SUV's packed in their teeny, tiny spots and sometimes it took us 30min to leave for dinner since there is only a few walkable places to eat.There were traffic jams inside the garage nearly daily but security was prompt to help clear when needed but still took 1/2 hour or so. We wished the resort (Shades of Panama) had outside parking! We would have gladly skipped that garage. Overall, great owner and management company. The resort staff however is rude and not helpful; they just seemed burned out. The unit itself could use some TLC (mis-matched paint, minor holes in wall in bathroom) and it felt somewhat stark and bachelor-like with minimal furniture and creature comforts of home. Unit really could use some extra seating in LR too as there is only a couch for 2 and some kitchen & barstool seating which was somewhat uncomfortable for just us 2. I can't imagine if there were more occupants! Patio had nice seating and had a cute view of the beach and pool area; no complaints with location of unit. Overall, it just needs a refresher of paint/decor and the kitchen essentials were very minimal (we had 1 steak knife to share LOL). We would not hesitate to rent again from this owner or management company though. Very pleased with their service. Place was super clean, no smells, bed was like concrete tho. Unit just needs some attention to detail, but I get that it's a rental and generally people just beat the sh** out of stuff which is a shame because good people like us suffer. LOL. I will look for something with more comforts next time.

  a guest from Fishers, IN does not recommend this vacation rental.

  The condo itself was very nice, well-maintained, clean and comfortable. However, this building, the Shore of Panama, was not a place we will stay again. The parking garage is a nightmare - it takes 15 minutes just to get to street level and every time we park we just hoped our vehicle wouldn't be damaged. Also, while there are signs all over about yelling or throwing things off balconies, it happened several times and we didn't see anyone removed from the property. Management of the overall building is just not great.

  Had a great stay. Very clean and well maintained. Great location. Only thing that would have been nice is having more kitchen utensils (tupper wear, more trash bags, and some laundry detergent.) Other than that, everything was great
