Standard Room, Ocean View Low Floor

This room has a partial ocean view of the Gulf. Because it sits on a lower floor, expect a closer-to-the-ground outlook rather than a high-rise panorama. The resort has a private beach with beachfront dining and cabanas just steps from the sugar-white sands, so the water is never far away.

The room has 2 Queen Beds with pillowtop mattresses and premium bedding, and it sleeps up to 5 guests. A rollaway/extra bed can be added for a surcharge, and a free crib is available for little ones.

Yes. Holiday Inn Resort Panama City Beach is a family-oriented resort, and this 393 sq. ft. room is built around that. The resort has a Kids Activity Center, the Aqualand Water Playground (no age or height restriction), a 5,000-square-foot lazy river with gradual entry and three outdoor pools. Kids 12 and under eat free from the Kids Menu with a paying adult at The View, Bamboo Grill and Chip's Grille. Connecting rooms are also available for larger groups. Guests have described it as a family destination rather than a quiet adults-only retreat.

There is no airport shuttle, but the nearest major airport is roughly a 30-minute drive away. A car is generally useful in Panama City Beach, and the resort offers complimentary self-parking in a lot across the street, reached through an underground tunnel with a sidewalk. Pier Park and Shipwreck Island Waterpark are close by, with Shipwreck Island about a mile away.

Pool access runs from 8:00 AM to midnight. Pool towels are issued by room number but cannot be taken out to the beach. A pool attendant monitors chairs and towels left unattended by the main pool.
