My family and I went to PCB for summer vacation this year, 2024, stayed at Shores of Panama. We wanted a big pool to play in, and beach to access the sand and shells. The resort pool was great and beach access was simple. Plenty of chairs and umbrellas on the beach and at the pool; I didn’t feel like we had to wake up super early to reserve space for the day.
My biggest complaint about Shores of Panama was the elevator situation… it takes FOREVER to catch a ride on the very hot, non-AC, no fan elevators. The trash/dumpster area is near the pool and hot tub and can get smelly… this was gross.
The unit we stayed in was nice… the second bedroom is not a bedroom but a “nook” with bunkbeds by the bathroom. If you have light sleeping kids, this could be an issue. I think that this place would be more comfortable if there were truly two bedrooms with doors. It also really doesn’t accommodate 6 guests comfortably like the description says. A king bed in the master and the bunk bed situation… pull out couch yes, but not super comfortable. Ultimately, if you want to vacation comfortably and truly rest, this unit is better for four guests, two of which can sleep easily through noise.
To keep the place clean throughout the week, and I’m a very clean person, more dish soap, dish towels, dishwasher detergent, trash bags, are needed. For the price we paid, I don’t think that was something I should have been expected to get at Walmart.
