Holiday Inn Resort Panama City Beach by IHG

8/10 Good

"."

Hyatt Place Panama City Beach

10/10 Excellent

"We stayed here for our 25 anniversary in September. The weather was perfect and we had beautiful sunsets. The hotel was beautiful and our room was clean and smelled so good (thank you Aracely). I was frustrated with the parking. We were not told it’s an additional $20 per night parking in the deck. Also, my husband has a stock F250 and we did not clear the clearance bar. It’s difficult to get in and out of the deck in a longer vehicle. We tried to eat at Coconut Charlie’s for dinner but the waiter was not attentive and they were out of steak and a few other things. We previously stayed at Aqua and frequented the Starbucks located in the Hyatt every morning. This time Starbucks was not great. The coffee did not taste good 3 different times. Overall, it was a great trip and a great room. I don’t think we’ll stay here again as the price was a little high for September and the parking was an issue."

Beachcomber Beachfront Hotel, a By The Sea Resort

10/10 Excellent

"We looked at several properties in Panama City Beach. We booked this on Expedia from the description. We were so happy with the location. Our room had 2 queen beds, a mini kitchen with full refrigerator, and a small area with a dining table and couch. Loved the balcony with a full ocean view that also looked over the pool. They have a great Tiki bar next to the pool and you can take your drinks to the beach. They have Lounge chairs and umbrellas already set up at the beach for a small charge. Karen who helped us check in and out, super pleasant and Gabriela and Charity assisted my husband and he wanted me to mention how friendly and helpful they were as well. We loved our tropical cocktail drinks at the bar. We were so happy with the property and the price was right!!! Great morning Lavazza coffee in the lobby."
