I recently stayed at the Hyatt Place Panama City Beach / Beachfront, and it exceeded my expectations in almost every way. The location is unbeatable—right on the beach, with stunning Gulf views and easy access to the sand. The balcony rooms with ocean views are absolutely worth the upgrade.
Check-in was smooth, and the staff were friendly and helpful throughout our stay. The room was spacious, clean, and modern, with a comfortable bed, a pull-out sofa, and a large bathroom. I appreciated the free hot breakfast, which included a variety of options like eggs, fruit, oatmeal, and pastries—plenty to start the day. Also, complimentary ice for your coolers.
The pool area is a highlight, with a large pool, hot tub, and even a lazy river. There’s also a poolside bar with great cocktails and snacks, which made relaxing by the water even better.
Parking was easy (they offer self-parking), and it’s close to restaurants, shopping, and Pier Park. Whether you’re traveling with family or on a couple’s getaway, this hotel really checks all the boxes.
Pros:
• Prime beachfront location
• Spacious, clean rooms with great views
• Free hot breakfast
• Nice pool area with lazy river
• Friendly staff
Cons:
• Can get busy during peak seasons
• Pool chairs fill up early
Overall, I would absolutely stay here again. It offers great value for a beachfront hotel in Panama City Beach!
