I loved the view and the pool area and the free chairs on the beach! The only issues was the hot water running out very quickly and the a/c not working the full time other than that I was super happy!
Thank you for your stay and for the kind comments about the view, pool, and complimentary beach chairsâweâre so glad you enjoyed those! Weâre sorry to hear about the hot water and A/C concerns, as we didnât receive any notice during your stay and would have gladly addressed them right away. Weâve since checked both to ensure everything is working properly for future guests. We appreciate the feedback and hope to host you again!
Excellent location! The resort has everything you need to stay entertained. Our condo was perfect for our visit. Cute, clean and functional. Our hostess was excellent with communication and explaining check in, check out procedures. The lady in the office/gift shop is adorable and very helpful. If youâre looking for a very affordable, clean and convenient place to stay, this is it.
Place was nice. Some attention to detail could be applied, like deep cleaning, wiping down base board and corners. Would recommended to family and friends.
Thank you for your review. We want to clarify that guests always have full control of the thermostat during their stay. We take guest comfort seriously and make sure all systems in the condo are easy to use. Weâre sorry for any confusion and appreciate you choosing our condo for your Panama City Beach vacation.
The bathroom was smaller than expected, which is not a dealbreaker, but may be hard to move around for some. The overall property was nice and the staff were pleasant.
My daughter and I had a great time relaxing at this condo. It was just as pictured and had everything we needed. The ocean view and resort amenities were perfect! If we get back to that area, we would definitely try this condo again!
Nice property and location. Enjoyed the pool, beach front and proximity to attractions and restaurants. Unit had everything needed and was a comfortable place to rest and recharge.
I love to stay at the Salty Turtle rooms. They are always clean and updated with beautiful views. They have a kitchen so if you want to cook you can. The pool is nice and always clean and the beach isnât far from it. It has free chair rentals so no need to have to bring chairs. The host is always a pleasure to deal with. She is the sweetest and will answer any questions you have.
