9.4/10 Exceptional! (188 reviews)

The staff is OUTSTANDING! We had the absolute best service we've ever experienced. From front desk - to waiters - to valets - to housekeeping - EVERYONE was very proactively involved in making sure our stay was perfect. The location is also excellent, with easy beach access, and lots of shops and restaurants within walking distance. A HUGE BONUS was the FREE valet parking! We've never experienced that before!! The only downside is the hotel itself. It's a bit old, and while it still feels somewhat luxurious, it comes across as pretty dated. The marble floors have cracks, the furnishings are pretty old school, and the overall vibe is a bit dark and heavy.

Shipwreck Island Waterpark

4/5(121 reviews)

With crashing wave pools, towering slides and whitewater rapids, expect to leave this Panama City Beach waterpark completely soaked and smiling.

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.
