Top Panama City Beach Hotel Reviews

Chateau Beachfront Hotel, A By The Sea Resort

8/10 Good

"Staff members were wonderful!! It is a little dated and there is no where to wash off before returning to your room which leaves your room a mess and there is no house cleaning until day 3, they have complementary washing machines and dryer, which is a plus downside is the housekeeping also uses the dryers in the washing machine, and lastly the doors are very heavy and get stuck so you have to either push or tug depending on which way your going … besides that we had a wonderful time."

Palmetto Beachfront Hotel, a By the Sea Resort

8/10 Good

"had a great time for the price, and the full size kitchenette was a life saver."

Holiday Inn Resort Panama City Beach by IHG

8/10 Good

"The room was clean, smelled fresh and the AC is amazing. Great for kids and high energy adults. The music is LOUD though, and almost never stops. They host nightly entertainment like movies at the pool & fire shows. Super cool. All the meals/adult drinks are decent prices, except for the breakfast. $45 each for the buffet (There is a clean waffle house right across the street) The absolute one thing I will say that was completely unnecessary, were the leaf blowers at 640am on a Saturday morning. For kids & family time its great. It's definitely more carnival vibe vs adult spa vibes."

Boardwalk Beach Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"I was positively surprised how big this resort actually is. It doesn't show half of it on the vacation sites. It's older property but for the price you pay here, you get absolutely everything. Location, dog friendly, 2x swim pools, 🏊‍♀️ tiki bar 🍸, 2 restaurants, both have pool access..Staff is absolutely amazing, friendly and very helpful."

Radisson Beachfront Hotel - Panama City Beach

Seahaven Beach Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"I have been saying at Seahaven beach for about twenty years and will be back next year the beach is great the people are friendly Panama City is incredible fun town to spend a relaxing week playing"
