"I must say the condo was okay. The air conditioning didn't work the best in the world and to be a top of the line resort you would think they would have air in the elevators especially when it is so hot outside."

"We stayed in unit 1206. The unit was just as advertised. Everything was neat, clean and in working order. I think that one of the best features of the Grand Panama is the location. If you drive you can leave the parking garage and take Middle Beach Rd and avoid all of the traffic."

"The condo was much prettier than expected and very clean. We had Gulf front view and it was beautiful. The elevator is a little slow but not a big deal. It was very spacious. It was nice to sit on the balcony and watch people on the the beach and listening to the waves come in."

"This was a fabulous place to stay and did not disappoint. It was a great deal and extremely easy to book. My children and I enjoyed every minute. The Grand Panama Beach Resort condo was clean and beautiful. The covered parking garage was awesome. All the rooms were large, the deck off room was surprisingly large. It was everything that it advertised it was and more. I booked a 2 bed 2 bath condo with gulf front. It was a very relaxing piece of paradise. I would definitly like to come back again....hopefully soon. Hope to plan a trip with a group of people that can enjoy the experience with us!

"I booked a trip for my wife and I at the last minute to the Grand Panama Beach Resort without doing much research. When my wife and I arrived, we were both pleasantly suprised!

The property was beautiful and had everything I expected out of a beachside resort. Even more, the 2nd tower, where our room was, is situated so I still had a breathtaking gulf view even though I wasn't 'gulf front'. Getting to the beach was no problem with the walkover from tower 2 to tower 1 and I should mention that the elevators were not a hassle as I have experienced at other large condos except at peak time when people are coming off the beach at the end of the day.

The room was clean and the furnishings were beautiful. The option of the quiet pool in tower 2 was awesome for a couple of adults who just wanted to relax. There were grills available poolside although we didnt use them because we called in a to go order to Bonefish grill which was a 1 minute drive from the parking deck with no traffic! We enjoyed our Fish Tacos and Bang Bang on our patio overlooking the Gulf.

All in all, I would definetaly come back for another vacation at the Grand Panama!

"I don't think I will stay at this resort again. We booked a 3 bedroom condo. The condo was so small and narrow - you could line three people up hand to hand and touch wall to wall. The master bedroom had no closet and no chest of drawers to put your clothes. The elevators were horrible. Long wait. Also, my key deactivated one morning and I went to the office and found the doors locked. I was told that the office opens at 8:00 a.m. - this was around 8:20."

"Swear we clicked and picked a 'beach front' condo, but were assigned to the building across the street with a 'view' of the beach. Master overlooked strip and lovely sounds of cars revving and teens screaming. Getting to the beach was a real hike. Two elevators, across a parking garage, across the walkway, etc. Room was NOT the room in the pictures!!!! Several items broken, bathroom door slit in half and worked, but unsightly. No glass top on coffee table, so couldn't use. Decorative clock on wall broken, etc. Not well maintained for the price. Beach was beautiful, pool facilities well maintained, staff friendly. I would never recommend this location for a family with small children on Spring Break. Other renters were loud and used filthy language repeatedly in front of our 12 year olds. I had a deep sea fishing lure miss me by 12 inches while sitting at the pool. Someone decided to cast from his balcony and said he was trying to reach the pool. Whatever. Grounds were well maintained, unit clean, except for carpet that needs cleaning."

"Your opinion varies as to what your looking for on a trip. For me advertising should be just as you state and nothing left for imagination. The condo resort is nice but the location is in the middle between S.Thomas and Pier Park. for me its better to be at one or the other as you have more options to walk to from your hotel when it comes to shopping and dining. They did NOT have any shops as they advertised on your shop as they were all closed and had moved out. People should know the truth don't advertise it if its not true. The only thing they had where the shops are were the 2 restaurants. The condo was clean when we arrived. however to me the condo lacked space. From all the other condos Ive rented in the past in Panama City to me this was tight. We had a 2 BR with Bunks in the hallway.2 bath. The bathrooms were definitely hugh and nice the bedrooms were very tight as you could barely get around the bed to walk. The living room space was tight as well. I prefer something more spacious. They advertised it was over 1100 square feet but the layout was not spacey. Again, this is where your opinion matters. The pools were nice and kept clean. However they close at 10pm. Now to the Tiki Bar which was advertised with this hotel. It was terrible. They only stayed open til around 6:45pm. I thought that was terrible. Also, you can not get normal and very popular drinks made for you there because the establishment only pushes their drink called the 'ray ray'. This is not a TIKI BAR. so again more false advertising. My family and I were not pleased here but again your opinion varies. Parking was challenging and hard to find a spot and its very tight in the parking garage so be careful. I will not stay here again. One because not all things that were advertised were not given at this property. Two, because it was over priced. I don't like being mislead. "

"Let me start by saying we enjoyed our visit at Panama City,,,,and yes we would go back to Panama again ....... 1. The Maid well there was NONE the whole time we were there and we paid $105 !!!!! For what ??? to clean the room once we left, well if that's the case she might of had to spend 10 min in the room....Because we made sure it was left the same way we found it.....Wish I could make $105 for 10 min.... 2. The $45 non refundable cost in cast you break something !!!!! Well I can see charging that but once the see you did not break nothing then they should refund it; 3. The Repair guy We had to call a guy up to check our remote and ice-maker, well it took it all about 2 seconds changed the batteries but DID NOT check to make sure if the REMOTE was working it self and open the freezer door and said 'well its working and should make more ice. It did but the tv remote still did NOT work. Well if the the maids get $105 wonder what he makes ???"

"The Grand Panama Beach Resort was a beautiful condo, but not ideally located on the strip if you want to be 'away' from all of the Spring Break 'festivities'. My children(all teenagers) felt threatened by all of the rowdie activities of the bumper to bumper cruisers going up and down the strip. As other reviewers have commented, there is not a lot around the resort, except for tha Bone Fish restaurant which we visited three times during the week! It was great especially the bang bang shrimp! I enjoyed the beautiful scenery from the ocean front balcony! I did NOT enjoy paying $20/ day for EACH beach chair!! That should really be included in the rental!! The staff was very nice and accommodating. My unit wasn't cleaned appropriately upon check in and upon notification, the entire cleaning mgt. staff came in and perfected the cleaning! They even shampooed my carpet upon my request!!

I guess if the sun sone a little more during the week, I wouldn't have minded all of the other little nuisance complaints!

Please consider 'free' beach chairs for renters in the future! The condos aren't inexpensive!"

"We arrived on Sept. 22 and were allowed to check in early, to our surprise. We stayed in unit 1-1303. The unit was spotlessly clean and well appointed. This was a two bedroom unit with additional bunk beds. The king bed was as comfortable, maybe even moreso, as our own bed. The view from the balcony was outstanding. The sunsets were stunning. We enjoyed the stay and would reccomend this resort to anyone that wants to have a relaxing and peaceful vacation this time of the year. This is off season so there were no crowds or traffic to contend with. If finances allow, we will return again. The staff member at the front desk was very pleasant and helpful with our inquires about local restaurants. THANKS FOR A GREAT STAY1"
