"My family and I absolutely loved it! The service was excellent, and the staff were very kind, friendly, and always helpful. From the moment you walk into the apartment, you can immediately notice how clean and well-organized everything is. The smell of cleanliness is very pleasant. The towels, bed linens, and the entire place were spotless and very well maintained. We stayed in apartment 310 on the 30th floor, and the view was absolutely spectacular. The location is also perfect—very central...

Top El Centro Beach Hotel Reviews

Seahaven Beach Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"So beautiful and great price perfect place to stay great restaurant next door"

Beachside Resort Panama City Beach

8/10 Good

"I have been staying here for years and you now have to pay $15 plus tax daily for parking which was not mentioned when I booked. I understand paying for parking for more than one car but this is stupid. Also the main lot gets full fast so you have to park across the street."

The Reef at Seahaven Beach Resorts

10/10 Excellent

"My family had an amazing and very enjoyable stay! This hotel isn't rated as a 4 star resort, but for us, it was perfect! Clean rooms, fresh towels and linens offered daily! Every member of the staff we encountered were so very kind, courteous, and helpful! We met several other families staying there who were all such a joy to talk to. I'm still amazed at how friendly every single person was! The view itself was worth every penny! The sunrises and sunsets were so beautiful! We had the balcony with a beach view and it was simply amazing! Words can't describe how beautiful it was! The beach was absolutely beautiful white sand and kept clean! The pool area was wonderful and seemed to have been cleaned daily! Very kid friendly and our family felt safe! I read several reviews about parking since there is a Sharkey's that shares the parking lot. We had no trouble at all. We found a spot the first day we arrived and didn't move the car again until we left. We were in walking distance of everywhere we wanted and needed to go!! There is a separate lot for parking if needed straight across the street! The only thing I would think to change or even have something negative to say is the toilet paper,😂 honestly, women y'all know we need good tp, thank God I always bring baby wipes lol. So maybe bring your own TP or wipes. All your shower needs are provided, though I always pack our own. I would recommend this hotel to anyone! We didn't want to leave and can't wait to go back!!"
