Panama City’s relaxing, tourist-friendly atmosphere and long, glittering beaches make it an ideal spot to spend spring or summer break. With the beckoning waves and brilliant year-round sunshine, you’ll want to book just the right hotel to make your vacation memorable. The vast majority of the town’s hotels lie just a stone’s throw away from the soothing waters of the gulf, so just pick a beach and there’ll be a hotel ready to pamper you.

Grand Lagoon:

Much of the city’s happenings take place in the large area around the romantic Grand Lagoon. The Marriott Bay Point Resort takes full advantage of this, providing fun for the whole family as it overlooks the resplendent St. Andrew Bay. On the other side of the lagoon, the Boardwalk Beach Resort and Dunes of Panama Resort offer stunning views of the Gulf of Mexico's white sands and blue waters. Farther south, Biltmore Beach’s elegant Regency Towers provides agreeable comfort for the beach-weary tourist.

Edgewater Gulf Beach:

Further up the coast stretches this inviting beach, along with some equally appealing hotels. TheEdgewater Beach & Golf Resort provides the best of both worlds, offering patrons the luxury of enjoying both the sandy shores and the well-trimmed greens of the golf course. There’s also the Holiday Inn Sunspree Resort,a good choice for those vacationing with a gaggle of kids in tow. It offers a number of kid-friendly activities without skimping on more adult pleasures. For some spring break fun, college kids hang out en masse at the budget-friendly Bikini Beach Resort Motel, where sunny fun is had by all without needing to take out another college loan.

Bahama & Gulf Beach Area:

A short ways north, vacationers can find several upstanding establishments that are eager to please. The Paradise Found Resorts & Hotels have all the standard amenities but boast some amazing private-balcony views of the Gulf. Nearby, the Days Inn Beach spices up the commonplace “surf, sand & sun” routine by throwing the trendy Club 450 and Beachcomber Bar into the mix. The Plaza Motel attracts the starving student crowd, giving the youngsters an inexpensive week-long respite from the anxiety of upcoming finals.

West Panama City Beach:
The beaches west of Panama City Beach are littered with resorts, guaranteeing there will be at least one that’s a perfect match for your vacation plans. Peek's Motel caters to spring-breakers before Memorial Day, and the over-25 crowd afterwards. The Flamingo Motel & Tower, Driftwood Lodge and Beachbreak by the Sea provide quality comfort for the summer onslaught of families flocking to the beach. Budget travelers will find the Seascape Inn a desirable destination that doesn’t break the bank.

Gulf Resort Beach:

This stretch of tropical paradise is well-serviced by the Palmetto Inn & Suites, a prime hotel for the active vacationer, boasting fun-filled activities such as beach sports, wave running, para sailing, and more. Pleasure-seekers of all ages will find something to entertain themselves here. The Sandpiper Beacon Beach Resort doesn’t skimp on entertainment either, even if there are some in your group that find the beach less than enthralling. With, among other diversions, a video game room, miniature golf, and a “Lazy River” float around the pool, the bikini-shy can still have a memorable time.

Laguna Beach:

Though it may not be at the center of all of Panama City’s attractions, Laguna Beach nonetheless contains plenty of fun destinations and accommodation options. Longue-Vue by the Sea offers family-sized accommodations without the baggage of larger resorts. Sugar Sands Inn & Suites, with it’s high-rise buildings, spectacularly shows off the beauty of Laguna Beach while providing all the amenities needed to make your stay comfortable. The Wisteria Inn, by permitting only adults, caters to travelers who vacation without kids. Now that sounds relaxing.
