We absolutely loved staying at Emerald Beach by Panhandle Getaways! The location is perfect—just a short walk from the beach and surrounded by great restaurants and local shops. Our room was clean, well-maintained, and had a cozy, modern vibe that made us feel right at home. The bed was incredibly comfortable, and we slept like babies every night. The only minor downside was the elevators—they could use some upgrades—but honestly, it didn’t take away from the overall experience. Staff were friendly and helpful, always smiling and ready to assist. From check-in to checkout, everything felt seamless. This place truly delivers on comfort, convenience, and value. We’d definitely come back for another getaway—highly recommend!
Staying at Seychelles Resort by Panhandle Getaways was a highlight of my trip to Panama Beach. The moment I stepped out of the hotel, I was greeted by soft white sand and clear blue waters—pure paradise. The beach is just steps away, perfect for morning walks or relaxing under the sun. My room was clean, well-maintained, and had a nice view of the ocean. The staff were friendly and helpful, offering great recommendations for local spots and activities like snorkeling tours and sunset cruises. What stood out most was how affordable it felt for the quality and location. If you're looking for a peaceful, authentic beach getaway without breaking the bank, this place is a solid choice. Definitely coming back.
This place is absolutely stunning! The location is perfect—just a short walk from the beach, with breathtaking views of the ocean. The property itself is beautifully maintained, and every detail feels thoughtfully designed. From the moment we arrived, the staff made us feel welcome and well taken care of. It’s the ideal spot for a relaxing getaway, whether you’re looking to unwind or explore the local area. Highly recommend this gem for anyone visiting Panama City Beach.
The location is perfect—right by the beach with easy access to downtown Panama City Beach. The staff went above and beyond to make our stay memorable. Whenever we had a question or needed help, they were quick to respond, even if there was a short wait on the phone. Their friendly attitude and genuine care made a big difference. The property is clean, well-maintained, and feels like a true getaway. It’s rare to find such great service combined with an unbeatable beachfront setting—highly recommend for anyone looking for a relaxing, stress-free vacation.
The property is perfectly located—just a short walk from the beach and super convenient for exploring the area. The views are absolutely stunning, especially at sunset, and the large pool area is clean, well-maintained, and perfect for relaxing. While the building’s exterior could use a little more upkeep, it’s not a dealbreaker—especially since this was our third stay. We keep coming back because of the amazing pool experience and breathtaking ocean views. It’s become our go-to spot for a peaceful, scenic getaway, and we’d definitely return again.
Watercrest is a peaceful retreat on the quieter side of Panama City Beach, and it’s easy to see why so many guests keep coming back. I’ve read a lot of reviews lately and wanted to clarify something important—each unit is individually owned and managed by different companies, so it’s crucial to check reviews specifically for the unit you’re interested in. We’ve stayed multiple times in Unit 705, and every visit has been flawless. The space is generously sized, spotless, and packed with thoughtful extras you don’t usually find elsewhere: beach chair service, an Xbox, board games, a fully stocked kitchen, and more. The beds are incredibly comfortable—perfect for a good night’s sleep after a day at the beach. The balcony is huge and perfect for relaxing with the whole family, whether sipping coffee in the morning or watching the sunset. What really stands out is that the management team is onsite—so if anything comes up (like when we accidentally left the door code inside), they resolved it within minutes. It feels less like a rental and more like a home away from home. We’re already planning our next trip here this year—it truly is our favorite getaway.
I won’t be booking here again. While the room itself was decent, the building maintenance is a major concern. Only one elevator was working during our stay, and it felt unsafe—many guests waited over an hour just to go up or down. For those with mobility issues or traveling with kids, climbing eight flights of stairs isn’t realistic. Ice was only available on one floor, requiring a 30-minute wait via the unreliable elevator or carrying bags up eight floors. To make matters worse, each bag of ice cost $7—way too expensive. What’s most disappointing is how indifferent the staff seemed. No one appeared to care about the obvious problems. This experience significantly impacted my overall satisfaction. I’d rather choose another hotel next time.
We had an absolutely unforgettable experience at this resort! From the moment we arrived, everything felt perfect. The location is ideal—right on the beach with breathtaking views that stretch as far as the eye can see. The amenities are top-notch, and the staff went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. We especially loved the beach service—relaxing with a drink in hand while watching the waves was pure bliss. And having Schooners just next door? Perfect for dinner and drinks without needing to go far. The room was spacious, clean, and beautifully designed with a gorgeous sea view. This place truly feels like a hidden gem. We’re already planning our return visit and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a peaceful yet luxurious getaway.
So glad we made the last-minute switch! Our original plan was to stay at a different property, but after seeing some less-than-stellar reviews post-booking, we quickly canceled and rebooked here instead. Best decision ever! The Twin Palms unit we ended up in was fantastic—two bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a spacious balcony with plenty of seating. We even played cards outside on our first night, which was such a nice touch. The master bathroom was a real highlight—I absolutely loved it! Just wish there were dimmable lights since the brightness was a bit intense. Calling the office was tricky; the phone system needs some work so guests can actually reach someone. That said, emails got prompt responses, which helped a lot. Overall, an amazing stay—we’ll definitely be back!
Staying at this beachfront resort was an absolute delight. The location is perfect—just steps away from the sand and waves, making it incredibly easy to enjoy the ocean every day. The property itself is clean, well-maintained, and offers everything you'd need for a relaxing getaway. I especially appreciated how close everything was—restaurants, shops, and local spots were just a short walk away. The convenience of having all amenities within reach made the whole experience seamless and stress-free. It's clear that attention to detail goes into every aspect of the stay. Highly recommend this place for anyone looking to unwind by the sea without compromising on comfort or accessibility.
The condo was absolutely beautiful—exactly as shown in the photos, with a clean, modern feel and plenty of space. While the resort area could use a little updating, like fresh paint and a bit of touch-up on the door frame, it didn’t take away from our overall experience. What really stood out was the seamless communication through the app—quick responses and helpful support throughout our stay. Location-wise, it’s super convenient: we walked to mini-golf, local shops, and even Walmart was right across the street—perfect for grabbing essentials. And let’s talk about the pools—five of them! We spent hours enjoying the water, never had to wait for a spot, and loved how spacious and well-maintained they were. Overall, a fantastic stay with great value. Would definitely book again.
