The unit it’s self was nice, and as described. Appliances were all new and the AC worked excellent. There were plenty of towels and blankets. The kids slept great in the bunk beds. The master bed was hard and extremely uncomfortable and the room desperately needs room darkening shades, as the exterior lights shine significantly through the closed blinds. We also killed multiple roaches in the kitchen.
But we will never be returning to Shores of Panama. Way too few elevators for that many units. We often waited 10-20 minutes for an elevator. One day, 3 of the 6 elevators were down at the same time, in the middle of checkout. We walked up/down 15 flights of stairs, multiple times. The parking deck is a cluster of oversized cars, making super tight turns. Since other property management companies allow 18 year olds to rent, it is a party 24/7. The building was filled with kids that have no respect for the property or other people. We could ignore the filth coming from their mouth and speakers, but we couldn’t ignore the party they had the night before. The beach was trashed every morning. We had to clean up beer cans, glass liquor bottles, and trash before we could set up on the beach.
I hate that our experience with the building was so terrible because overall, the unit was nice. But we work hard for our money and vacations are a financial sacrifice for our family. To spend our one family vacation, surrounded by filth and underage intoxication, was heartbreaking.
