Holiday Inn Resort Panama City Beach

A Great Getaway Place

Jan 28th, 2020

This is the place to stay if you are looking for a vacation in Panama City Beach. The resort environment without leaving the country. Rooms are well maintained and have been upgrades since the last storm. Everything from the food, Gym, Spas ...... Everything is well worth the money. TRIPADVISOR.COM USER 

Loved it

Jan 7th, 2020

All rooms have ocean view; doors are on street side. My room has a full size refrigerator with an ice maker, a Keurig coffee maker, and a microwave. There is a small safe for keeping any valuables. Great especially if you’re traveling with children; there is a fabulous play area with water features of course. I like the restaurant. Service was good. For security purposes you are given a wristband to wear although I’m here for business and I haven’t really been beachside to make checking necessary. I will point out this is my second stay here during their remodel, and it has had very little impact on my stay. Rooms are being refurbished and there are plans to install a ‘lazy river’ around the pool area. When I was here in October, there was live entertainment nightly, followed by a family movie show by the pool. You could watch from the lounge chairs or from your balcony. I’m making a point to come back when the remodel is complete to see what they accomplish. TRIPADVISOR.COM USER 

Great Trip - Would definitely go back after renovations are completed

Jan 2nd, 2020

I was there recently for a soccer tournament. Even with the horrible weather that week, the hotel made the trip not so bad at all. The lobby staff was very friendly (especially Bobby) and the housekeeping staff was top-notch (and I am very picky about this). The newly renovated rooms are wonderful. Very spacious, love the large bathroom, the shower is awesome (plus we had great water pressure), extra getting ready room with the large vanity and mirror in the hall (this is a plus when traveling with 3 or more), full-size frigerator and microwave and did I mention the gorgeous beach views! Great balconies. The outside bar was great and the boys enjoyed the large hot tub. The plans for the lazy river look incredible. Plenty of room on the beach room and nice walks in either direction. Plenty of restaurants within quick driving distance. Lobby was kind of tiny, didn't see any complimentary coffee or tea and the worst part would be the parking across the street. But these were the only negatives. I highly recommend and would definitely stay there if we ever visit the area again. TRIPADVISOR.COM USER 

Ohh My Goodness

This resort was fantastic! The staff were lovely. The property was oceanfront with crystal clear water, and white sugary beaches. The pools were amazing. There was a splash pad for the younger kiddos, and a main pool with a waterfall. The DJ was playing music all afternoon. Live music and movies were available in the evenings. They also had a s'mores night and bonfire on the beach. They had tons of different kids' activities, and a shark mascot that walked around for photo ops! There was a pizza joint right by the pool. You could even order pizza straight to your room. The formal dining room was ok. The breakfast selection was minimal. However, the outdoor dining, by the beach, was entertaining. There was so much entertainment, for both the younger crowd, and adults. We WILL be back :) TRIPADVISOR.COM USER 

Comfortable with Fantastic Views

Dec 3rd, 2019

This is a Great place to stay. It has incredible views. The lobby is newly remodeled and very nice. The dining room was nicely done as well. Hotel is undergoing a major renovation so things got a bit noisy a couple of times. All staff we encountered, especially in the dining room, were friendly, courteous, helpful, and professional. We were surprised at the price of breakfast in the dining room. It was fairly priced especially for a resort hotel. The breakfast buffet seemed a bit expensive at $24.95. Parking is across the street which is a bit inconvenient. The hotel's advertising said there was a shuttle between the hotel and the parking area. In the 5 days / 4 nights we were there, it only ran twice. This inconvenience would not stop me from staying there again. When this place is totally renovated, it will be magnificent! I hope I can still afford it then!! TRIPADVISOR.COM USER
