Nice hotel with direct beach access, but during low tide the beach is not usable. Breakfast is very good and there are plenty of bars indoor and outside by the pools. There is a beach volleyball area, but it could be refreshed. Panama City is 12min uber ride for $12-$15 each way.

The property was really nice for the most part. There were a few areas that might need to be fixed soon but nothing major. The pools were great. Staff was great. Didn't have any problems with parking. Lots of great activities for the kids to do. Would stay again. One thing I wasn"t aware of was low tide they had it a few times during our stay, so had to wait for the water to come back before we could play in the ocean.
