Embassy Suites by Hilton Panama City Beach Resort

10/10 Excellent

"Breakfast was good, the complimentary drink for happy hour was even better. Plus it’s by everything you need"

Palmetto Beachfront Hotel, a By the Sea Resort

8/10 Good

"The bathroom sink was slow draining. They came in and cleared the drain but man did it stink. Also they don’t check the filter on the air conditioner it was filthy and we had to try to clean it because it was not blowing cold air. Also parking sucks."

Radisson Beachfront Hotel - Panama City Beach

10/10 Excellent

"Parking was an issue. But manageable !! Room was spacious, beds were comfortable, kitchen was nice, big fridge, pull out sofa bed, two tv’s 1in bedroom and 1 in sofa area Easy to get extra towels n Great amount of hot water. Balcony was nice."

The Palm & Tide Beachfront Hotel

8/10 Good

"This property was great for a budget price. It’s an old building, so not perfect, but it was still nice. Our balcony was wonderful and the beds are amazingly comfortable! The staff was friendly. The convenience was awesome. You can walk right to the beach! The only issues we had were that the elevator was broken and we were on the 4th floor. That wasn’t awesome. Also, our lighting in the room did not work, so we had to do without enough lights. Otherwise, I’d stay here again."

Holiday Inn Resort Panama City Beach by IHG

8/10 Good

"Service was weak because of Staff shortages!! Also some employees, like at the Lazy River Pool, were on their phone FaceTiming or streaming. When you ask questions from many employees they don’t know the answer or who would know. Facility maintenance repairs and up keep need many repairs. Two of the elevators broke down and there were only four before break down. They provide parking accessible through underground tunnel. When staff available, they take you to car park by golf cart. That’s nice but forget about golf taking by cart back. There is zero method for getting golf cart pickup from parking lot. You have to walk through tunnel or cross a busy four lane road with zero crossing station. Amenities and location to beach was Wonderful."

The Lodge 30A

10/10 Excellent

"We had such a wonderful stay at Lodge 30A! From the moment we arrived, every staff member we interacted with was incredibly welcoming, kind, and supportive. Their attention to detail and willingness to help throughout our stay truly made our experience that much more special. We absolutely loved the property and enjoyed all of the hotel’s amenities. Everything was beautiful, comfortable, and thoughtfully designed, and it made it easy for us to relax and fully enjoy our time away. We’re so grateful to the entire Lodge 30A team for making our stay so enjoyable. We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend Lodge 30A to anyone looking for a beautiful, relaxing, and welcoming place to stay!"
