Great place very clean

The room was very clean and perfect location with beautiful views. The condo was centrally located and convenient. The host was prompt in answering any questions we had. Very smooth process. My only complaint has nothing to do with the property or manager but the condo itself. The elevator wait times are insane during peak times and one is broken the whole stay usually. That was a hindrance of getting back and forth from so High up down to the beach and pool etc. great room though

A wonderful time!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Absolutely love the breathtaking views of the ocean. The atmosphere was good. The balcony and looking over to the pool area, the lights at night. We had a wonderful time at our stay, first time here at this hotel.I do recommend their burger and fries! At the grill. Sooo delish! Got them twice! Hot tub was hot until it wasn’t, but other than that we enjoyed Shores Of Panama and would go back again. Thank you to Blue Swell ❤️

Impression of the property was nice. Very clean and convenient to restaurants and shopping. Our particular unit was nice, but, there is a hole in the wall of the master bdrm, both ceiling fans were off balance and noisy. The one in the living area could not be adjusted. Had issues with the television. Someone from the management co., came to help after severa. l text messages. The unit needs to be update. There is too much furniture in the living area. Both of us continuously hit our legs on the huge glass coffee table. I was told that they would let me know when they were on their way to install new ceiling fans, but installation never occurred. The parking garage is insane.
