Laketown Wharf Resort by Panhandle Getaways

The condo itself was beautiful, clean, spacious and had everything we needed. We didn’t have the beach view technically (our sliding glass door was the view of the lake) but the front door out of the condo shows the ocean. The amenities onsite was amazing! Like in my opinion there is no better spot in Panama. A walking distance to Walmart, pineapple Willie’s right in front, a short cross over the road to the beach access. The food onsite is 1000x better than pineapple Willie’s so just eat there and skip the 2 hour wait. My reason in the four stars is A.) the check in process was brutal with my 5 kids and ONE receptionist with a line to the back of the room and then when we got to the front to check in we got told rather coldly that we were sent a link from our host for our parking pass which is an additional fee which seems to be a regular issue with there because myself and a handful of other travelers had to step aside to complete the link process and B.) the design of the building is CLEARLY meant for you not to be able to leave conveniently because the elevators to the parking garage closest to our room are broken and the 3 that were operable were ALWAYS full so we took the stairs 90% of the time. You also have to go to a certain floor to get out at the parking garage which is a pain when you have groceries to bring in and out. We got used to the design by the third day but it was honestly pretty annoying at first. Overall a great stay though the room was beautiful!

Last minute Spring Break Booking I will always Choose this unit if possible very clean very well stocked and host was always available for any needs! Will be back!

1. It is recommendable to hire a check-in attendant who actually wants to be there. Attitude matters. 2. Sad that this place would advertise it has a fitness center and yet close it because of fear of mishandling or damaging the equipment. We actually search only hotels with a gym and expect to be able to work out. 3. The unit we staued in desperately needs a new king mattress. Not being picky - you can see how deeply it slopes in the middle of the bed from afar. 4. Cook area over stove and counter has no lighting. Nice pools. Pretty pond. Didn't see fountains show run bc they were never turned on. Nice interior of condo. Be sure you note: This is NOT an ocean front resort. It is across the street and blocked view by an ocean front twin towers resort. Bring your own pool and beach towels. Very lovely balconies with nice, comfortable outdoor furniture.

Would stay again

We rented a 3 bedroom condo, When we arrived we were supposed to check in at 4 PM we got the confirmation that the room was ready but when we got to the room the cleaning lady was still there, we dropped off our luggage and left so she could finish cleaning when we got back around two hours later it seems as if she didn’t finish cleaning and just left, the floors were horrible very sand and dirty. I called the next day to have them fix the kitchen sink and the ceiling fan in the main bedroom also to clean the floors when the lady arrived to clean the floors we were still there but about to leave she said she would be back at noon when we came back the ceiling fan and the sink were fixed, however the floors were still dirty other than that the trip was amazing and the condo was very nice we actually stayed an extra day.
