Landmark Holiday Beach Resort

  • April 29, 2007
  • Rated 3 of 5 by bmesser from Ashford, Connecticut
The access to all the units is outside and all have balconies overlooking the beach. Our two bedroom had a washer/dryer in the kitchen and two spacious bedrooms.

There is a master bath with a shower and the extra bath was only accessed from the second bedroom. This bathroom had a tub and shower. Both had hair dryers. The master bath had a door separating the shower from the sink and a separate mirror set up like a dressing table.

The master bedroom had a queen bed and the extra bedroom had two queen beds plus there was a sleeper sofa.
Dishes and towels were exactly for 6 so we had to wash often. There is no towel service since you have the washer/dryer but they didn't supply any detergent. There was some dishwasher detergent and regular dish soap. Soap was provided for the bathroom. You got one roll of paper towels and one roll of toilet paper for each bathroom. All extra supplies came at a cost.

We were missing a couple items and the TV in the guest bedroom needed a new remote but they responded quickly to all calls. We picked up our beach towels the next day. You get charged $20 if you don't return them at the end of the week.

The unit was in good shape, not new but well cared for. The resort itself is showing signs of wear but they seemed to have maintenance staff working on something every day.

The exercise room is on the 16th (top) floor and can be accessed with your room key. The treadmill was not working when we were there, just the bike and elliptical. There is an indoor pool and hot tub with some glass walls looking out to the beach. The sauna is locked and you need to get a key to use it. There are a few beach chairs outside the pool that are up for grabs but go quickly.

Beach chairs are available for rent on the sand. Two connected chairs with an umbrella and pads—the chairs are wood—are $9.50 per day or they'll figure a deal for the week. The guy that handles this is friendly and attentive. You can also arrange for parasailing or Jet Skis through him.

They have planned activities Monday through Friday. We didn't participate in many as we just wanted to sleep on the beach this week. I went to the welcome meeting and they had prizes they raffled off. I won an inflatable float. We purchased smoothies at the Tiki hut one day and got hotdogs cooked by the beach another.

Best Things Nearby:
It was right on the beach, close to dining and shopping. There was great beach access for families and great indoor pool so the kids don't get sunburns.

Best Things About the Resort:
The unit was very large. It was actually a two-story unit facing the ocean--you could go out the patio door and be right in the sand. It was very large for a one-bedroom and slept four more than comfortably. We had a large kitchen area and two bathrooms.

Resort Experience:
I would definitely recommend this resort over some of the others in the area. It would be a little south of the main strip, but most of the time you find yourself driving to places anyways. In Panama City in general there is a lot of construction, but that's pretty normal, with hurricane damage and building new resorts.

Best Things Nearby:
The beach is the very best thing that is nearby. This is a beachfront property and it couldn't be any better than it is! Stores and shops are very close by, too.

Best Things About the Resort:
The resort is wonderful. We had stayed at a Holiday Beach property in Pensacola Beach last year and noticed how friendly the staff was and how eager they seemed to make our stay as wonderful as it could be. This resort was just as accommodating. It was delightful!!!

Resort Experience:
Our two-bedroom unit had just been updated prior to our stay. This included new furnishings, new carpet, and new cabinets. We would have liked a lower floor (we were on floor 11) but once we got used to it, the view of the beach and Gulf of Mexico was simply outstanding. The master bedroom had a queen bed and the other bedroom was furnished with two comfortable double beds. The unit was equipped with a washer and dryer and it was well used during our week's stay. The Landmark also has an indoor pool and it was kept at a perfect temperature. The resort exceeded our expectations.

Landmark Holiday Beach Resort

  • June 4, 2004
  • Rated 5 of 5 by UC Bearcat from Ft. Wright, Kentucky
Best Things Nearby:
The resort was not really close to activities and shopping, so you will really need a car to fully enjoy the area.

Best Things About the Resort:
Our beachfront accommodation was great. We had a two-bedroom unit on the sixth floor overlooking the ocean. You can't get much better than that. The resort is a little old, so don't expect the beauty of a brand new resort. But most of the resorts in Panama City are older. Our resort only had a small indoor pool; it would be nice to have an outdoor pool, too, but I can see they have no space for one. It's a catch 22: when it rains, it was nice to have an indoor pool, but when it's sunny, it's nice to have an outdoor pool.

Resort Experience:
Rent an umbrella for the week. Enjoy the view of the ocean. Take long walks on beach. The traffic is really bad during the evening hours, so go early. We took a boat ride to see the dolphins and to snorkel. It’s not really worth the money, but my kids tend to get bored and needed something to do. We saw three dolphins for about a minute, but did not get to swim with them as advertised. The putt putt was fun for kids if you like that sort of thing.

The local Wal-Mart is great for shopping! The resort can recommend restaurants. The grocery store is a local place specializing in seafood -- you can cook your seafood here. We had a lobster tail (pricey at $25, but at the same cost as nice meal at local restaurant). We also had shrimp, which was good.

Overall, it’s a nice place to go for those on a budget. If money is no object, Destin has some nicer places to stay with same beach. Again, if you love the ocean and want to relax on the beach, this is a good place. If you want excitement every minute of the day and have the money to do it, good luck to you.

Best Things Nearby:
Buddy's Seafood Market is right down the street. I spent most of my time being lazy on the beach. There is a lot of shopping and dining within walking distance, however for most of the attractions you would need a car. Traffic can be nasty at times, so get a map and use back and middle beach roads.

Best Things About the Resort:
We were at the resort in the middle of high school spring break, and after 10pm we didn't hear a thing. It was peaceful and the staff was very friendly. I really enjoyed the amazing ocean view and being able to walk out on to the beach from the resort.

Resort Experience:
This resort was GREAT! Every unit has an ocean view, and I watched the amazing sunset each night before dinner. As you get off the elevator you step out into the white sands of the Emerald Coast. They offer beach chair rentals and an indoor pool for quite nightly swims.

The resort has a 10pm quiet time rule, which eliminates hearing other guests partying at all hours of the night. They have board games, sports equipment, exercise facilities, roof top patio, spacious units, and a very friendly staff. I would highly recommend this to everyone. I will go back.
