This was our first time to stay ay Shores of Panama, but will likely not be the last. Everybody complains about elevators, crowded pools, luggage carts, etc., but this is just how it is during the summer. We've learned to accept it and worry more about having fun. Which we did. The room was clean and cozy. No complaints at all. The grounds were well maintained and the halls were mopped/dried regularly throughout the day. Security had a good presence, but they only got involved when the rules needed enforcing. The pool was great as we spent most of our time in it due to the double red flags. The snack bar was top-notch with some surprisingly tasty offerings. There's a Wal-Mart right across the street so you don't have to drive very far for groceries. The one "con" I have is the parking garage. It can get a bit hectic at times and you really have to watch the other drivers. But, all in all, we had a great time and will definitely be back.
