The property was great, however the elevators were very slow and people would be backed up in the halls.

Summer vacay
Loved our room, 2nd floor was convenient. Definitely did not like the new policing on the beach. That’s probably the negative reason for not staying at tidewater after approximately 15 years, that is so crazy for her to do that!!!

This property was top of the chart. We enjoyed the location, the security of floors. Condo was very well supplied with everything needed. We have stayed at Tidewater many times, this was the best.

Panama City Beach vacation
The condo is on the 2nd level and easy to access from the walkover from the parking garage. Our condo was clean. Decor was cute. Plenty of pots/pans, dishes, glasses, etc. if you want to fix something to eat. Water pressure for showers was great and plenty of hot water. We ate dinner twice at Waves, the resort restaurant. The food was good. Quiet hours were enforced and that was very appreciated. My only negative- the sheets for the king size bed were too small and would not stay on. Overall, a good stay and we would book this condo again.

Great!
The place was perfect! I didn’t realize that we were getting 2 beds and 2 baths. We had a huge and amazing view, clean and comfortable quarters. Everything was wonderful l. So glad I read reviews and took this place with no elevator issues. I would never stay any higher, the elevators are so inadequate.

Tidewater Room 215
This room was one the second level so the need to wait forever for an elevator was avoidable. The room had lots of sleeping space, a nice size washer and dryer and a large balcony with the perfect view. Overall, some of the accommodations provided by the hotel weren't as promising as they sounded. Both outdoor pools were freezing, comparable to an ice bath, the "free" movie was nothing kid friendly and the arcade had maybe 6 games. Overall, we went for the beach alone so the other aspects didn't matter as much. The room itself is wonderful and I would definitely recommend to anyone who wants an easy access room.

Even Better In Person!
Do not hesitate! This unit was amazing! The doors in the living area AND bedroom were amazing, the furniture has even had some updates since the photos. So clean! RIGHT on the beach and chairs are included. We were first and second row the entire time there. I did not want to leave.

Great condo!
This condo is very nice and clean. The kitchen is well stocked. Plenty of towels and the real test was the sleeper sofa. It was actually comfortable. I’ve slept on some and couldn’t make it through the week. This 2nd floor unit is on the same floor as the walkover parking deck and that’s a huge plus. The elevator waiting time is ridiculous. The resort is nice and there are plenty of amenities.

Please take note when booking at Tidewater with Vacasa
I booked this room through VRBO- not sure how Vacasa managed it. YOU WILL NOT be able to arrive early and check in prior to 4:00 pm CST. I’ve been traveling to Panama City Beach FL for over 30 years. This is the first time that I was not able to enter the room prior to 3:00 pm. They would not even check to see if the room was ready. POLICY is no enter until 4:00 pm CST. Even though on the reservation it states if the room is ready they will notify you. YOU also do not have blankets. You will get a light weight cover with each bed. So, along with all the other stuff you bring, pack some blankets. There are no rugs throughout either. Be careful stepping on the floor beside tub with wet feet- you might slip. We had to use a hand towel as a mat. Lesson learned on my part to never use a condo that is managed by Vacasa. Also, the free beach chairs you get with the room - be ready to stand in line every morning at 8:30 am CST to get the chair. You WILL NOT get the same chair every day. If you are not down there before 8:30 am, you will be 4 rows back from the beach. The first row is all filled up at 7:00 am by people setting up personal chairs and umbrellas. I just felt like it wasn’t a vacation because it was late getting in the room, had to race to get a spot on the beach/chairs and then it was 2 days of beach and we had to check out the next day by 10:00 am. Things to consider when staying here.

Everything was excellent! Hands down the best condo I have ever stayed in. It honestly felt like we were in our own private house on the beach with the best view of the ocean. It was amazing not having to use the elevator. The storage outside the room filled with chairs, umbrella, kids sand toys and floats was a really nice surprise. They were very useful! Kitchen was stocked with everything, even a crock pot. If ever in Panama again we definitely be staying here.

Our Happy Place!
We have stayed in this unit several times. It was nice before but has been totally redecorated and refreshed and it's even better now! We love the upgrades on the furniture and appliances. My only complaint is regarding the placement of the refrigerator because it is impossible to open the door all the way. Perhaps switching the fridge and the pantry would work better. We've been coming here for seven years and we'll definitely be back!
