  • 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The room was a tad bit outdated and the TV did not work. There was a slight mold smell and the front desk ladies were not very nice. Other than that, price, location and view from the top floor were great.

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.
