Wonderful!

Awesome view, room was clean and spacious. Even had a full size fridge. Very quiet. Call if you live in the area because you get a locals discount and aaa members get a bigger discount! I didn't eat there so not sure on the restaurant but it looked nice. Will be back in the summer for sure! Oh and the pool looked very nice and had a nice kiddy pool with slides and all.

Nice Older Hotel

The hotel is obviously older (my guess is 20+) that has been let go out of date. The wonderful thing is all rooms have a balcony and a water (both pool and ocean) view.

Great weekend getaway

We arrived just as the sun was setting and had a perfect veiw from our balcony. The rooms are small but comfortable, having a refridgerator in the room was handy. Good location, pretty much in the middle of all the beach attractions.

There are several flea markets on the way to panama city on 431 and 231 offering much better deals on items that are sold on the beach.

Paradise

Spent my honeymoon here. It was beautiful. I fell in love with the beach and the crystal clear water. The room had everything, decor is beautiful, bathroom is small. But that water was hot :) Amazing views, even in the glass elevators. The restaurant pace was really slow, but food was okay. Entertainment was amazing, and a very pleasant surprise. Pool is huge, and the hot tub is exquisite ! I recommend the sauna, or the steam room :) Staff was very accommodating and extremely helpful. Will be coming back here again for an anniversary !

So-so stay

It wasn't bad... just nothing really special. There was only one restaurant and since I didn't feel like sitting in a formal restaurant by myself, I either had to walk across the street to find someplace to eat or order room service. The cleaning service didn't come until about 5 pm, just when I was getting back to the room, meaning that the floor didn't get mopped. The toilet moved when I sat on it. Overall, it wasn't a bad experience, just not a great one.
