The view of the beach is wonderful but the rooms were older and not the cleanest. The staff is not the friendliest at the desk. The bar was nice and that staff was pleasant.

It was such a pleasant experience, nothing was wrong with the room (other than horrible wifi and signal loss on the tv). But other than that, access to the beach was super easy, it was just a minute or two walk. There’s plenty of restaurants and things to do around, and the pool was super easy to access.

Expect to pay for your amenities - they aren’t included. Beach loungers are available for rent, and food/drinks are available for purchase. The hotel will provide a few discount coupons, which is a nice way to stretch your vacation dollars. The hotel itself is pleasant and reasonably clean. All in all, we would stay again.

The "resort" is old outdated and dirty. From the oceanside it looks nice. That's where the pictures on the resort page were taken, but the rooms are definitely dated and the amenities are in disrepair.

Check-in was super easy, the ladies at the front desk were very informative and friendly, and that always makes check-ins easier. Everything was clean, and the two pools were great for my kids, when they got too tired of the beach. The view from the room was absolutely beautiful. The Boardwalk was by far the BEST price for four days. I loved being this close to the beach. The Boardwalk will be our go to stay, while we are in Panama. Thank you again! Zero complaints!

We've stayed at this hotel 3 times while visiting Panama City through the years & it's always very clean & affordable, with plenty of beds for a larger group! There's no free breakfast, but we just bring our little plug in griddle & make breaky every morning. My favorite part is that you can request a room on the 1st floor that opens right up to the beach & it's hard to beat that!! 😍😍😍 Plus when the kiddos need to go to the room for a snack or nap it's quick and easy to get to the room! 💗

We booked for our son (18) Spring break trip with two friends. We paid the extra fee for under 21, totally reasonable $50. Be known, you do need someone Over 21 to check them in and name must match credit card. The kids were respectful of rules and property. The staff was nice, accommodating, and treating them with respect and kindness. All the while reiterating the rules and expectations. The boys loved it, great location for spring breakers. Thank you for allowing these boys to have such great memories, independently :)
