Azure Beach

We had a great time at the Shores of Panama Unit 216. It was especially nice being on the 2nd floor. We used the stairs inlue of waiting for the elevators. The manager was great to work with. And was readily available for any questions or issues.

Pool staff is amazing and work very hard and security around the buildings are friendly. Front desk staff never greets you in a pleasant way. Our condo was not cleaned thoroughly. Pans in oven had food/grease on them. Walls were scuffed. A little scrubbing with cleaner would take care of that. Location is good if you like to walk or rent a car. Some families renting have poor control over their children. Often they were playing football in the pool taking up the whole space. Not very relaxing. No one said anything to them to be more considerate of others.

My husband and I just returned for our second visit. It was clean, with a nice pool and close proximity to the beach. Not sure I would stay a third time - the front desk was less than accommodating. The unit we booked for the first 3 nights was not available for our whole stay. I reached out to reservations team for assistance in booking a different unit for the remaining two nights (couldn’t do it myself due to a minimum stay). I had several back and forth exchanges and by the time they approved the request (10 days later!) the unit was booked. I had asked the front desk to use the beach chairs and fridge for 2 hours past our checkout (we are going to another property owned by this company) and they said no! I’ve never had an experience like that, as most properties will provide an alternative solution. Disappointing! The security guards however, were so polite and welcoming. We loved them, especially the gentleman in the morning!

1st trip to Aruba for anniversary

What a perfect location for our girls trip this year! We were on the 7th floor and had a perfect view of the entire area. Facing Eagle Beach, there was a gorgeous sunset every night. The condo was clean, modern and included everything we needed for the week, including beach towels, floats and chairs! We had planned in advance so we had transportation for the week and groceries delivered as we were arriving. Our Airbnb host was extremely helpful and gave us such good recommendations for the area. I would note - we are walkers so did not mind the 6-7 minute walk to Eagle Beach and did that several times. There is also a walkway along the boulevard that goes all the way to Palm Beach and we also walked that a few times. Our pre-arranged transportation was reliable and so fun whenever we did not want to walk or had time constraints. So for us, the location was ideal but if you don't like walking, you may want to stay closer to either Eagle Beach or Palm Beach directly. We loved it and had the best time. The pools were exquisite and every single worker was so kind and helpful. The restaurant Po Ke Ono is between the two buildings and they had great poke bowls and fun beverages for the pool! It was an unforgettable trip from start to finish.
