Our stay was nice. The place isn't kept in the most immaculate condition, there was lots of rust on the hardware in the bathroom, the room was a little sandy,and other typical beach-related issues. But was overall pleasant and positive. The beds are comfy, the location is great. Pool is 8ft. Restaurant is next to pool, food selection isnt incredible but is good for convenience. Has direct access to the beach and wasn't very crowded for end of July.
My husband and I needed a quick getaway and so we found this hidden gem on Priceline. The price was fantastic and when we arrived we were beyond excited! If you grew up in the South and you remember going to Panama City Beach as a kid or teenager then you will also love this property. It's one of the few with the honesty me charm that we grew up used to when visiting the beach. We were on the 3rd floor that had the most spectacular view of the ocean right outside our window. I could literally open my eyes, open the curtain and see the ocean every morning. The sunsets were to die for!! It's nestled on the part of the beach (West End) in Sunnyside so it's a hope, skip and a jump from Pier Park (7 miles) but only a mile or so from the Old Beach Bar where they have the best Karaoke!!! Don't forget to eat (open till 2 am) at the Irish Pub that has incredible food! You won't be disappointed if you choose this resort for your next stay!
Really they've got everything, game room, heated and not heated pools. Many hot tubs, full bar, restaurant. The only downside was traveling for a good beach. They have a small one, covered in seaweed, and hermit crabs. But they do have chairs out there, those were nice.
Absolutely the best place to stay that is right on the beach and very within our budget! The room had 2 queen beds/rooms and it accommodated our trip great with 2 teenager boys! The view was spectacular! We were there for New Year's Eve and the bar grill was opened and we had a great time!!!
Shower is tiny. Pool & hot tub are closed. Ice is from a vending machine $7. Get some while grocery shopping - we did. Grocery stores are nearby. Pool is open 14 Feb 26
We really enjoyed our stay! Our room was very clean, no issues at all! The beds were a little firm and I would suggest softer sheets..Staff was super friendly! We are definitely looking forward to returning!
Great rooms on the Gulf! When we went the pool was under renovation. Great prices to be able to wake up and walk out your door to the beach! Rooms were clean and front desk staff was very hospitable!
It was amazing, the view beautiful. The beach was gorgeous so clean. And pet friendly with a $25 charge/ night plus tax we loved it so much stayed an extra night
