Top El Centro Beach Hotel Reviews

The Palm & Tide Beachfront Hotel

8/10 Good

"A"

Hyatt Place Panama City Beach

10/10 Excellent

"My friends and I arrived earlier than our check in time and were able to get into our room. Very clean and accommodating! A wonderful breakfast the next morning. Friendly and helpful staff, especially Bernadette! Our stay was too short and we are planning to return to the Hyatt Place!!"

Margaritaville Beach Cottage Resort PCB

8/10 Good

"Property description/location is not accurate from the pictures on the website. BEAUTIFUL Place, but we were under the impression that we were on the water and had a hot tub. Did not realize our property did not have it. Would definitely visit again, but ask questions first. This was on me, not the host."
