Holiday Inn Resort Panama City Beach by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Limpieza"

Embassy Suites by Hilton Panama City Beach Resort

10/10 Excellent

"Our stay at the Embassy Suites by Hilton Panama City Beach was outstanding from start to finish. The hotel strikes that rare balance of being stylish, spacious, and genuinely welcoming — exactly what you want when hosting a large family gathering. Suites were spotless, modern, and thoughtfully laid out, giving everyone room to relax without feeling crowded. The complimentary made‑to‑order breakfast was a hit, and the evening reception added a fun, social touch that our family loved. The location couldn’t be better: just a short walk to the beach and close to great dining and entertainment, yet the property still feels calm and comfortable. Staff were consistently friendly, attentive, and eager to help — the kind of service that makes you feel confident planning a major event here. Overall, Embassy Suites Panama City Beach delivered comfort, convenience, and top‑tier hospitality. It’s an ideal choice for our 2027 family reunion, and we’re already excited to return."

Hyatt Place Panama City Beach

10/10 Excellent

"Great pool with a roof partially covering it so you can swim rain or shine. The pool has a small lazy river which was poplar. At night the water looks blue because of the lights. The pool stays open 9 am-10 pm. There’s a Hot tub, bar grill, and easy access to the beach. They had a DJ on the weekend, otherwise there is music playing. You can rent a poolside cabana that has nice furniture, a TV and ceiling fan for $150. for a day. We did this for 1 day. You can also rent a set of beach chairs and an umbrella for $60. for the day. Breakfast offerings were standard, not exceptional. Parking across the street is $20.day. Our gulf side room with 2 queen beds, a sofa and balcony was very comfortable with a nice walk in shower. The water was hot, the beds and pillows were comfortable and the beds were not too high. Our son’s family wanted a bath tub room for their baby and the only rooms with bathtubs are handicap rooms on the inland side. There are no handicap rooms on the gulf side. The hotel has 11 floors not counting the pool floor. Last but not least, we found the staff to be friendly and very helpful. We will definitely plan to stay here again."
