We've been to the Shores of Panama a dozen or so times so we're not only familiar with PCB, but with the Shores specifically. There were a couple of things that were the deciding factors for us to choose this particular unit, as there were quite a few available for this particular trip:
1) Location - 3rd Floor unit. It's nice to have a unit low enough that you can use the stairs because the elevators will [at some point] be slow, crowded or broken. The 3rd floor was high enough that we could still enjoy the ocean view, but also be able to use the stairs for the majority of our stay. The elevators were out of service for one day while we were there, and on another day - VERY crowded as a storm rolled in and sent everyone back to their units at the same time.
2) Parking - I like my car. I take care of my car. This means I always park near curbs or away from everyone else to minimize/avoid getting dinged by other cars, grocery carts, etc. This unit has a corner parking spot with a ton of space between it and the wall, and it was close enough to the unit that it was bearable to carry things back and forth. The parking garage here has VERY small spots and most of the vehicles in it are big trucks. It's also very narrow and difficult to get around corners. Being on the 3rd floor made it all that much easier to get in and out of the garage.
We have rented this particular floorplan several times before with our kids, but they are too big to use the bunk room. We just usually bring inflatable mattresses and they sleep in the living room - which has plenty of space. We didn't need to do that this time as it was just my wife and I, but it was nice to have the 2 bathrooms. I grabbed one and my wife grabbed the other.
Nice big bed (which is also a key for us as a queen sized bed is just too small for us - we like our space), and plenty of space to put clothes. My wife's back suffered from the mattress, but I found it fine. She has a bad back so it's not unusual when we travel. Perhaps it was a little too soft for her.
The kitchen included everything we needed and then some. It even had a wine bottle opener and wine glasses (which we used) and a pizza cooking tray, which we also used. Oh, and a spaghetti strainer...used that too.
The fridge was plenty cold and made ice quickly, so we could have actually gone without buying bags of ice.
Overall we really enjoyed staying here and will definitely see if it's available again next year!
