Top Panama City Beach Hotel Reviews

Seahaven Beach Hotel

Seahaven Beach Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"I know I’ve seen a lot of negative reviews about Seahaven Beach Hotel, but our experience was actually really good. The hotel is right on the beach, they’ve been remodeling, and our room was perfectly fine for us. Is it a luxury resort? No—but we didn’t pay luxury-resort prices either. The room was comfortable, the location was hard to beat, and for what we paid, the stay was absolutely worth it. Sometimes I think expectations need to match the budget. If you have upscale taste on a budget-hotel price, you may need to relook in the mirror 😂. For an affordable beachfront stay, we were happy with what we got and would stay again!"

"The shower leaked when in use and left water on the floor, there were dirty spots on the balcony and in bathroom but other than that a clean room and nice place to stay for a week. Hot tub was in a separate gate from pool which was nice. They had a little play area for kids. Pool was only 5ft deep so not ideal for taller people wanting to actually swim not just stand around. Great place to stay if wanting to spend all your time on the beach/Pier Park. Almost walking distance for everything we needed. Walmart close, pier park 3 min drive, and TopGolf 10 min walk. Overall nice hotel."
