Needs a little tlc

Review Date: October 5, 2025

"Condo was decorated nicely. My only complaint was could use a deep clean. And there was no curtain in the master bedroom. So when the sun came up so did we. I addressed it with the host and they responded quickly. But said they had it on order . Didn’t do us any good. For the price I would recommend the condo. With a little effort it would be a great place

Thank you for your review! We're so glad to hear you and your group had a great stay and enjoyed the cleanliness and overall experience. We appreciate you pointing out the elevator issue — we understand how that could be inconvenient, especially on a higher floor. We're actively working with the building management to ensure both elevators are fully operational moving forward. Your note about the balcony furniture is also helpful, and we’ll look into adding a table to make that space more comfortable. Thanks again for staying with us, and we hope to welcome you back in the future!

"The condo itself was amazing! We loved the views from the balcony. The room was very clean & there was no issues!
The resort, however could use some upgrades. Elevators were extremely SLOW!!! They had 2 elevators down for maintenance (which I learned from a tenant in the elevator that it has been down for 3 years now)
The theatre was not available. The outdoor pools were great & I really liked how they had 2 pools!

"The home was very nice but the view was awesome we saw dolphins playing stingrays and all kinds of big fish swimming in the ocean right from the balcony while enjoying my morning coffee. I just wish the beach chairs came with the room because unfortunately we didn't budget for them but there is so much to see and do in Panama City we had a blast

"We enjoyed our quick getaway for spring break. It was our toddlers’ first time to the beach and the view was immaculate. We enjoyed our stay and hope to return soon! We loved the room! Wished there was a hook for our curious toddlers but we improvised. We did have issues with the master tv not working and the remote was not always working in the living room. Other than that the stay was great! It was clean and comfy!

A beautiful view

Review Date: January 6, 2023

"Overall it was a great place to stay. My family of 6 was comfortable, and the views were breathtaking. There was more dust on furniture and ceiling fans than I would have liked to see (I didn’t get close to inspect, I could see the dust from the couch). I feel strongly that if I am paying for a cleaning service and the owners are paying for the service, I shouldn’t see dust on the cabinet doors, on top of furniture, etc. it made me wonder exactly how clean the house actually was. To the eye, the house looked clean.

I would save your money (for us it was over 100.00) and do not eat at the hotel restaurant. We paid 12.00 for a bowl of Kraft mac n cheese for my son, my husbands fish special meal was frozen fish sticks. Our waiter was very nice and pleasant, the food was not worth the money.

If there is an elevator that says broken and then it’s fixed, use with caution. I actually got stuck inside the elevator with it going up, falling down, and going back up and down several times before I could get out. It was moving fast and falling with a jolt stop. I told the front desk but it was never looked into. This stay is on the 25th floor, so we used the elevators on the far side on the building.
