Honeymoon bliss

This place was awesome!!! The only thing I would change is their food on the resort was way over priced and they didn't have the cool drinks that they showed on their website. But other than that it was awesome

Nice hotel.

Overall, the hotel was nice, the staff courteous, and the amentities justify the room rates. However, the restaurant menu is sad. There is not a good variety of entrees, appetizers, or sandwiches and the prices are high. But there are lots of restaurants in close proximity, which makes the restaurant unimportant.

A good hotel in Panama City

Overall a good trip -Only stayed for a weekend but the hotel had everything we needed -You can tell rooms are older but have been redone but they were relatively clean so that is what matters! - All rooms have great view, full fridge and microwave which is nice for a longer stay!! -Best asset: The pool! Very big and clean -If you want something quiet not the place for you! It is very family oriented and has music playing at the pool all day long. - Was end of summer so it would not be as fun at peak times because it would be very crowded.

Great Hotel; Great Beach!

We stayed seven nights. The staff was very helpful. There was always something going on on the pool deck---live music, dancers, movies. The view from our balcony was fantastic day and night. The only suggestion I have is that there could be more information available about other attractions and restaurants in the area.

Spur of the moment vacation

We found a bargin for the date desired - 1st week in June. It was a spur of the moment idea that paid off in lots of R&R. I'd never seen the emerald coast. With the oil spreading, I decided no time like the present. Keep in mind this is a family resort with lots of activities for the kids. It can be noisy between noon and 7PM. All rooms face the Gulf. Even the first floor rooms (mine) had a great view. I would go back again!

great getaway

Great location,beautiful hotel,stayed on 14th floor, could see entire city and beach,took hundreds of pictures,we were very impressed.Dined at hotel restaurant twice, very nice,great breakfast buffet although a waffle house was across street. Also a subway,burger king,and a Chili's restaurant across street or next door. There is a Wal-mart supercenter 1 mile down the street,also several very nice restaurants,try Pompano's and Captain Anderson's. We stayed 4 days and will go back next summer. TIP-the hotel beach chairs are $40 a day for 2 chairs and umbrella, take your own.
