The resort was very very nice. Ideally if you want to stay at the resort for your stay expect to be at the resort for your trip. Not much to do in the evenings so be prepared to venture off the resort. Staff was great, food was fine, and would stay there again.
The hotel is beautiful, I loved the lobby, the spacing of all the different seating areas. The spacing of each restaurant. I was there during I think was their slow season, so a couple of the restaurants were not open. The staff was amazing, and always willing to help
Only one restaurant Star Grill was opened during the day and their service was slow
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.

Liked: Cleanliness
The staff attention to our needs while we were there was great.
Enjoyed my stay here despite the location being away from downtown and during after work hours everyone is heading in this direction. That’s beyond your control. My only complaint is the shower. The water pools due to slow drainage. Other than that I thoroughly enjoyed my stay.
Had a great stay! The room was clean, comfortable, and exactly what we needed. The staff was super friendly and helpful, and the location was perfect. Everything went smoothly from check-in to check-out — would definitely stay here again!
