Standard Room, Oceanfront (High Floor)

This room sits on a higher floor and looks out over the Gulf of Mexico. The large windows bring the horizon into the room, so you can wake up to the water. The resort has a private beach, with sugar-white sand just steps away.

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

The room measures 393 sq. ft. with a single-bedroom layout. It suits families well. It has a full-sized refrigerator/freezer, a microwave and a coffee/tea maker, and connecting rooms are available for larger groups. The resort is family-oriented, with a Kids Activity Center, the Aqualand Water Playground (no age or height restriction) and kids-eat-free dining.

The room has a private bathroom with a shower and hand-held showerhead. It is stocked with designer toiletries, shampoo, soap, toilet paper and a hair dryer. Toothbrush and toothpaste are available on request, and towels are changed on request.

You get a 49-inch LED TV with premium channels, free WiFi, a coffee/tea maker, a full-sized refrigerator/freezer and a microwave. Air conditioning and heating are both climate-controlled. Room service runs during limited hours, and local calls are free.

A mandatory resort fee of approximately USD 49 per night bundles in beach access, pool access, fitness center access, parking, in-room coffee, an in-room safe, laundry facilities and business center/computer access. The fitness center is open 24 hours. Parking is complimentary on-site self-parking, in a lot across the street reached by an underground tunnel with a sidewalk.

There are 3 outdoor pools: a lagoon-style main pool, a children's pool and a whirlpool. There is also a 5,000-square-foot lazy river, and pool access runs 8:00 AM to midnight. Dining includes The View, Chip's Grille, Tiki Pizza and the seasonal poolside Bamboo Grill. Kids 12 and under eat free from the Kids Menu at The View, Bamboo Grill and Chip's Grille when dining with a paying adult.

Check-in is 4:00 PM and check-out is 11:00 AM, with contactless express options. The main guest must be at least 18 and show a government-issued photo ID and a card or cash deposit for incidentals. A USD 300 Spring Break deposit applies to guests under 25-26 staying February 25 to April 15. The resort is smoke-free, and pets are not allowed, though service animals are welcome.

The resort is at 11127 Front Beach Road and is roughly a 30-minute drive from the nearest major airport. No airport shuttle is offered, so plan on a rental car or a ride. A car is generally useful in Panama City Beach, and Pier Park and Shipwreck Island Waterpark are about 10-15 minutes away or less.

The resort is a lively, family-focused destination and is not suited to guests who want a quiet, adults-only stay. The hotel also operates a 24-hour streaming pool camera overlooking the main pool deck. Pool towels are issued with your room number but can't be taken to the beach.
