I was very disappointed with my time at Edgewater. I had requested a mid to upper floor with a gulf view and was placed on the first floor with 90 % of my view obstructed by big,thick palm trees. There were also various inconveniences with the room. You could not cook on the stove, the electric elements did not fit in the drip pans, so they were at steep incline. The kitchen lights were fluorescent and annoyingly flickered the whole stay. The bathroom was very dark and in need of a total remodel. The toilet was constantly trying to overflow. As soon as we noticed these things, we called the front desk and spoke to several ppl to try and get another room, but they refused. Our vacation was based around my daughter's birthday, and we were all very disappointed.

We have been to Edgewater 5 times (out of our 8 visits to PCB). The lagoon pool is second-to-none (and that's why the kids want to keep going over and over again). They are now 13 & 11 and still only want to stay at Edgewater. Sure, the rooms could be nicer, cleaner, etc., but they are decent and good sized (the 2-bedrooms at least). I don't drive 12 hours to Florida to stay in my room much anyway, it's all about the pool and the setting which is why we keep coming back to Edgewater! On our other visits to Panama City, we stayed at Long Beach Resort and Holiday Inn Sunspree Resort. I've looked at other hotels, but the pool keeps me, and our family, coming back to Edgewater each and every year.

I really do not understand some of the gripes that a few people have written about. I took my 16 and 17 year old son and daughter along with their friends to this establishment. I have been here three times during the past two years. I have stayed at cheap places as well as lush resorts all over Florida. I've stayed at PinK Shell in fort Myers, Tradewinds Isle Grande in St. Pete and several beautilful locations in the Keys as well as the Calypso in Panama City. This being said, when you have teenagers, this is the best hotel and location to keep an eye on them. I have always stayed in a three bedroom in tower two. The rooms have always been clean and the kitchen and floor space is enormous. Our balconies were large and noise during Spring Break was unheard! The security is fantastic. They check bracelets before leaving or entering the facility from the beach. This made me feel much more secure watching over teens! The gigantic waterfall pool is not heated. However, each tower has its own pool that is heated, along with a tiki type hot tub. The water is very warm in both! The furnishings are not brand new, but they are not out-dated either. This makes it kind of nice, because with teens, you don't feel as though you are on your tip toes to make sure they don't spill their soda or get too much sand in the carpet. I was incredibly comfortable and secure. My children had a blast and met lots of other teens, while remaining safe and secure. Isn't this what its all about? The rest of you need to quit being so picky of go to the Ritz!

I was worried after reading the other reviews for this resort. I found it clean with more that I thought it would have. Very spacious, clean, and up to date. I was in Tower 2 with a balcony facing the beach. I could see the beach from my bed, it was very nice. There were two patio doors 1 from my bedroom and 1 from my living room 2 for the balcony. There were spots on the walls where a little touch up was done. There restroom and showers were clean, and in good working order. Overall I was happy with the room and my experience there.

We took a family vacation to Edgewater Beach Resort. We found it from the web site. It looked really great. By reading everything online it sounded like an awesome place to go. I t said it had lots of activities, but it didn't. Some of the staff were not friendly. The room we had was dirty and very old looking. It was surely not worth the money we paid. We didn't like the fact that we were not allowed to bring a small cooler to the pool with drinks for the kids. There was no shade at the pool area either. No umbrellas. We will never go back there!!!
