Top El Centro Beach Hotel Reviews

Radisson Beachfront Hotel - Panama City Beach

8/10 Good

"👍"

Palmetto Beachfront Hotel, a By the Sea Resort

8/10 Good

"The bathroom sink was slow draining. They came in and cleared the drain but man did it stink. Also they don’t check the filter on the air conditioner it was filthy and we had to try to clean it because it was not blowing cold air. Also parking sucks."

The Palm & Tide Beachfront Hotel

8/10 Good

"This property was great for a budget price. It’s an old building, so not perfect, but it was still nice. Our balcony was wonderful and the beds are amazingly comfortable! The staff was friendly. The convenience was awesome. You can walk right to the beach! The only issues we had were that the elevator was broken and we were on the 4th floor. That wasn’t awesome. Also, our lighting in the room did not work, so we had to do without enough lights. Otherwise, I’d stay here again."

The Lodge 30A

10/10 Excellent

"We had such a wonderful stay at Lodge 30A! From the moment we arrived, every staff member we interacted with was incredibly welcoming, kind, and supportive. Their attention to detail and willingness to help throughout our stay truly made our experience that much more special. We absolutely loved the property and enjoyed all of the hotel’s amenities. Everything was beautiful, comfortable, and thoughtfully designed, and it made it easy for us to relax and fully enjoy our time away. We’re so grateful to the entire Lodge 30A team for making our stay so enjoyable. We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend Lodge 30A to anyone looking for a beautiful, relaxing, and welcoming place to stay!"
