Beach Hotels & Resorts in Panamá Beach from AU$101

"Check in was very unorganized and chaotic. Rooms were not ready on time and people were lined up to get in. No ice machine, and we had stains on the sheets."

"Great spot close to airport "

"We just returned from an amazing 11-day family vacation at Margaritaville Beach Resort Playa Flamingo with our two teenagers and had a great experience overall. This was our second time to this resort and it doesn’t disappoint The resort was very clean and well maintained. Our family room was clean, comfortable, and spacious, which made it perfect for traveling with teens. The staff were all English-speaking, extremely friendly, and always eager to help. Both bars served excellent drinks and have non-alcohol options. We chose the breakfast-only plan and it worked out perfectly. The buffet had something for everyone, and on some days there was a made-to-order omelette station which was great. The rest of the food at the resort was a bit mediocre and somewhat bland, but it really wasn’t an issue because there are many great restaurants within walking distance. The Italian restaurant on site does have great pizza though. The location of the resort is fantastic—right on the beach and an easy walk to Flamingo Plaza and the Flamingo Marina for shops and restaurants. The resort provides beach lounge chairs, and security will set them up for you right on the beach. We also rented boogie boards from the resort which the kids loved. The beach is very safe with great waves to play in. We even saw a couple of stingrays and a sea turtle during our stay, and the sunsets were absolutely beautiful. Overall, it was a fantastic family vacation and we would definitely return. 🌅🏝️"

"There is no wait staff at any of the resort except in the restaurants. In bars and at pools you have to go to the bar yourself. There is very limited shade at the pools. Only loungers and no sitting tables. Seats in the shade get towels on them as early as 6am. The food is limited in selection although the wings, burgers and fries from the grill at lunch were great. 3 out of 4 of us got diarrhea and puking at some point over the 2 weeks there. 2 got very sick for a few days. Not alcohol related."

"Nice resort but the restaurants wasn’t great. The wait was long and food was still Buffett style with minimal variety. "

"Everything was absolutely Perfect!!! Better than imagined Thank you again ❤️‍🩹💎"

"Pool area was enjoyable. AC kept the room cool. Staff were friendly and helpful with their very limited English. "

"The grounds and foliage at this hotel are absolutely huge. You can take a walk in nature through many tall trees on a path surrounding a lagoon which has many birds in it including large herons. There are also what looks to be over 50 peacocks that have full run of the place which was great! They can be a little loud at times. The pool is massive and a lot of fun. The food at the restaurant was great and reasonably priced. We had to leave early to go to the airport so could not eat at the buffet breakfast so they made us sandwiches which was very nice. Would for sure stay again."

"We booked the Papagayo last minute after staying at another hotel that was sub par. Our room was great. Spotless, big, with a nice terrace. The property itself is outdated. It is well maintained, but the pool itself gets dirty quickly due to falling leaves. There were not enough sun loungers, and not enough shade. The beach was very nice to walk on, but not the best for swimming. We used the free kayaks on site, and kayaked across the bay 2.5+ miles to the four seasons. Everything at the golden palms hotel was outrageously priced. The food ($28.99 for a burger, cocktails $15-18) was so expensive we walked down the beach to the Marriot El Mangroove hotel, and had gourmet meals for a better price. Hacienda blu was also spectacular and cheaper, just a short walk down the beach. Out of spite we never ate a meal at the hotel because of how expensive it was. The free breakfast was sufficient. Staff were nice and attentive. However, for the price of the hotel, it is too expensive for what you get."
