We had a balcony over looking the gulf. It was a corner room so there was an extra window which was nice. Pool was nice and clean and they have a tiki bar open 10:30-7:00. There’s also Mguires right across the street. You do have to park across the street but not really a big deal. Overall good stay

The only thing I didn't like was that there was little space for parking, and it was not very convenient to cross the road for this. Otherwise, everything is not bad at all, considering the cost

Ive been visiting Panama City Beach for 40+ years. Ive stayed at many different hotels and condos thru out these years. My first visit at The Palmetto was June 26th- 28th.- 2025 I can now say, I've found my perfect place from now on. 🌴🌞 From a early and smooth check- in and out..and everything in between was wonderful. My room on 3rd floor was a corner room and had an extra celing to floor window to view the beach along with a spacious balcony. The bed and linens were top of the line..compares to casino rooms. Soft sheets, down comforter, large fresh smelling pillows. I slept like a baby. The bathroom was older, but clean. The soap- shampoo/ conditioner and body lotiom was installed in the shower. Loved the smell of it all. Wish I could find it at home. The 24 hour pool was absolutely beautiful and clean. Plenty of places for privacy away from the pool deck including the covered picnic area that was directly beside pool area. Having an ice machine at the pool area and grabbing a free bag to fill your cooler was so convenient. Everything was thought out to make this a convenient and fun place to stay. I will definitely be back. Its now my perfect place to stay when I visit from Georgia
