  • Pelican patiently waits for some fish scraps from the user of a man cleaning his fish. There are 2 piers in Panama and both cost $3 to walk them. The one closest to Pier Park is further out into the Gulf so it's more worth it if you can only do 1 pier. They do stamp your hand so you can go on and off it all day. On the pier a lot of people fish so watch for them hooks. From what I was told to fish in Florida you need a salt water and a fresh water licence in order to fish in the different waters. There are also signs posted on the pier about how to handle a situation if sea turtles get caught.

The view from the rooms is amazing, and at this price is hard to beat! We stayed in March over spring break and it was not overly crowded or at all crazy. This hotel is family friendly and fun for college kids too. My only complaint is the check out time, 10 am is so early! Other than that a great experience, but bring a broom because the rooms do get sandy, hard not to when at the beach, lol. Another recommendation for the hotel would be to put a mat outside of every room so feet can be dusted off, but again these are just little things, overall a great hotel and amazing view for the price.

We had to clean the bathroom ourselves with bleach cleaner. And I was disappointed to find out the pool wasn’t heated but I didn’t check good. Other than that, what you’d expect for your price but at an amazing location!

This hotel is a little older, but it's completely worth the cost if you want a nice large heated pool & to have the beach steps away. The room had a mini kitchen which was nice, good water pressure and plenty of hot water as well. I will be returning.
