Boardwalk Beach Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"We really enjoyed our stay."

The Palm & Tide Beachfront Hotel

8/10 Good

"We arrived before check in and luckily we were able to get our room. We were met by Allison the front desk manager who was so funny and welcoming. After we checked in we were getting out stuff from the car and she came out and asked us if we were from Bergen county NJ, she saw that our last name and knew possible family members of ours, its a small world. They were available for our needs and I had so much fun joking around with Allison all weekend. We shared our experience at another hotel that was very disappointing and we found out the same owner, so we shared our honest opinions of both hotels. The rooms here were updated and they were clean and very comfortable. The TVs were updated and we had a good variety of channels, We had a split room with bun beds that we didn't need but it was a good price. What is disappointing is that the rooms do not have any other places to sit and watch TV unless you are sitting in a bed as the benches are under the TV. It would have been fantastic to have a sleeper sofa and a small table and chairs to eat. We also could have used a microwave in the room instead of having to use the one in the lobby. If you are making any further renovations I would hope you would update with some of my suggestions."

Holiday Inn Resort Panama City Beach by IHG

"This place was a VERY BEAUTIFUL PLACE to stay. The lazy river, the pool, the VIEW to the beach, the live entertainment, the restaurants and bar area were definitely on point. This place is for couples and families. You don’t have to leave the resort. But if you choose to, the beach is right in front of you. I would definitely revisit this place. VERY NICE!!"

"French Kiss" Beachfront + Private Pool

8/10 Good

"This was a really nice house, great place by the beach. Kitchen had nice non stick pans to cook in, they provide 6 beach towels and about 4 bathing towels per bathroom. This property doesn’t provide unmbrellas, chairs , wagon or beach toys, but you can rent umbrellas and chairs from property management company for a price. There are things that need some attention, like the garbage disposal was dripping from underneath the sink, so we could only use one side of the sink to wash dishes. In my family we like to cook so that was a big deal to us. Property manager said they couldn’t get it fixed until they had time between reservations. Also there were no working light bulbs in the third floor patio, so make sure to bring your own. The washing machine smelled when we got there so I had to run a cleaning cycle with bleach. We did have a problem with the ac not cooling but the property manager sent someone out the same day. Other than that, we really enjoyed this house, it was super convenient and this location was great for my teens to explore."
