  • 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.

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.

The room was very adequate for the price. Our room walked out directly to the beach which was perfect for our family. The building was old and could use some updates, but for the price not bad.

Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
The hotel was very dated, which I expected going in for the price. The issue I had was when we arrived, there were bags of trash piled around the doorway outside. One of the beds had a giant, round, wet pee looking stain on the comforter that soaked thru to the mattress. The room was damp and had water puddled in the floor. The front desk staff that helped me leave immediately was helpful and friendly. The girl who checked us in, not so much.

It wasn’t a “perfect” hotel but what is? I think we paid $240 for 3 nights during Thanksgiving, we had a 4th floor balcony room with a full kitchen. We had a blast. The pool is heated and warm! Ocean not so much lol! The staff was all friendly. We had no issues. I would definitely stay here again. We were able to walk to the pier multiple times within our stay.

The staff was friendly and very helpful. The rooms were clean. We had two rooms. One room had an A/C problem. It didn't work. Maintenance came and fixed the problem. The shower in that room did not work either. We were forced to take a bath. We reported it but it didn't get fixed. The other room had mold around the tub which we didn't get around to reporting. The hotel is old and not fancy, but it was generally clean and we thought it had a lot of character. We would stay there again.

We stayed on the lower level- able to walk right out of room to the beach. Room was very basic, but met all our needs. Would definitely stay here again.
