What guests think

At Shores of Panama Resort, guests consistently praise the beachfront location and views, but many report serious cleanliness problems, very slow elevators, tight parking, and dated, poorly maintained condos that vary by unit, leading to uneven stays.

Pool areas are attractive and family friendly for some, yet often crowded and occasionally closed or uncomfortably cold. Service and check-in experiences are mixed, ranging from helpful staff to unresponsive or confusing support with no clear front desk. Some units offer spacious layouts and convenient ground-floor access to the pool and beach. Expect a great location with inconsistent quality.

I really did like our stay here, but I wouldn't make it a regular vacation spot. The check in process was a little confusing and not a traditional check in. We were kind of expected to know where we were going and what we were doing based on texted instructions. Some of the staff were helpful others were not. We LOVED our room and had a first floor room that opened to the pool then a really easy walk to the beach. It was crowded in the pool area and the beach. We moved down on the beach and it was better. We swam at 8 am when the pool opened and had it practically to ourselves. So you kinda have to find your way and make it work for you. The one issue I had is that some of the pool rules were strict, but not constantly enforced. We were told we couldn't play with a volleyball in the pool but later saw a big group playing with them. There was the morning security guard who seemed to be looking for something to tell us we couldn't do. I don't mind rules, and me and my family do comply but I get upset when they are not constantly enforced. The bar was great and decent prices and the pool/view was beautiful!!! The ladies in the coffee shop were so amazing and even gave my son some free ice cream on his last day. So in summary, it's a nice place to stay, but I'm not sure if I'd go back again.

The views are amazing. The people are really friendly & laid back. Access to the beach is great. Everyone was complaining about the slow elevators & lack of parking. If you do not drive a small compact car it is really difficult to park. Overall we had a great time & met a lot of people. This condo building is very large with a lot of rooms. If you have children I would recommend staying on a lower level where you can utilize the stair’s.

Our reservations a suite got lost and Expedia called Shores of Panama and they gave us a large condo on the beach immediately and welcomed us in. Clean, nice personal. One complaint is the parking deck, it was not designed for southern big travel vehicles. Like full size trucks and SUV, but for foreign cars like the mini cooper, smart cars. Lol

Beautiful property, the condo had items under the bed and behind the dressers from the previous guest. Upon leaving I pulled all of the linen and one of the beds had a huge blood stain on the mattress. The fire alarm went off and no one notified the guest of a false alarm until we took the stairs from 16 floors down, and ran across security. Amongst that it's in a great location. Some upgrades should be made.

The condos we rented were not clean. The sheets had stains on them and when the house service person came in, he said that they can’t get the stains out of the sheets when they wash them so they don’t change the sheets when they get stains. They just wash them. Most of the sheets were stained and old. The bunkbeds in the rooms has stains all over the top bunk bed sheets and smells like pee. There was a dirty towel in our room when we checked in also.

Overall we enjoyed our stay. Loves the washer and dryer in the room. However, the unit was not up to par. Dishwasher was old and not mounted into cabinet - tilted forward when opened and slides drawn out. Only one burner on stove worked - the others were dirty and smoked when turned on because of old food residue. There was no exhaust fan on stove. Only 1 fork - need more utensils. Towels and sheets thin and cheap. Pull out couch mattress flat and lumpy - could not sleep on it - very uncomfortable. Fridge made strange noises. Tv volume would not go up - we could hardly hear the tv. No dustpan, only broom. Our parking spot was on level 11, so it took 5.5 minutes upon entering the parking garage to reach our spot.

This is a beautiful resort however-the room had 2 holes in the ceiling from work being done, the air conditioner didn’t work and neither did the tvs! Maintenance was called and never came -after multiple attempts!! We left after the first night. Also, be aware that parking is a challenge . The parking deck is 11 stories and you are required to find your one space on the floor they tell you. The spaces are very small so SUVs are too tight.

DISGUSTING!!! Service is nonexistent. No front desk. There is a number to call from 9-5 but you will be lucky if someone answered. After 5pm is for emergency only. Rude staff. Disgusting room. Disgusting hot tub and pool. Hot tub has strong chlorine smell with body oil floating on top. Pool water is always mirky and nasty. The whole resort smells like trash and piss. Construction with loud banging noise right in front of my door. We paid for ocean front and got a bottom floor with view of overcrowded and loud pool. The unit is an abomination. Carpet is fifty. Stains are everywhere--carpet, bed sheets, curtains, toilets, bathrooms, kitchen cabinets, fridge. We spent an entire night washing all sheets and cleaning the unit. This unit should not be rented to anyone.

Our stay was ok. Pool and beach were crowded due to high school/college spring breakers. Major police presence in front of condo building and on the beach due to spring breakers. Traffic jammed up every day in front of condo building. Restaurant options within walking distance very limited. Couldn't go into ocean due to rip current. Condo could've been cleaned better. Floors felt gritty due to sand starting Day 1 of our stay. Bedsheets had sand in them too. Cleaning staff should've vacuumed the floors better and provided better washed bed sheets. We ended up washing the sheets ourselves. Found sweat stains on the mattress cover. We ended up leaving 2 days early. If we come back to Panama City we will try staying at a different condo complex.

The wall in the master bedroom was pouring water down it and had black mold on the baseboard. It wasn't even raining outside. The indoor pool/hot tub was disgusting. The outdoor pool was freezing and nobody was able to swim in it. There were stains (from what we don't know) on the furniture. The dishwasher left the dishes dirty, leaving behind a black substance on the dishes (we hand washed everything). The front door of the unit was broken. The bar/restaurant wasn't open, even though it was advertised. The best thing about the property was the parking, as it was close to our 10th floor unit. Overall it was terrible. We left a day early.
