Top Gulf Trace Hotel Reviews

Beachside Resort Panama City Beach

10/10 Excellent

"Our room was nice, the staff were great. Awesome view of the beach."

SEA HIS LOVE: Destiny's Gulf Front Luxury Retreat: Infinity Pool, Elevator, Daily Maid Service!

10/10 Excellent

"Sea His Love Beach house was absolutely breathtaking… the best views, steps to the beach and comfortable beds and staff that communicated well with any questions we had. I recommend it and we will definitely be back!"

The Henderson Beach Resort & Spa

8/10 Good

"The staff was efficient, pleasant, and generally well-trained. Many of the staff are foreign students at the property for the summer to enhance their English language skills, so sometimes there was a language barrier. For the first few days, there was lukewarm water in the shower and bathtub. It took well over 24 hours for the staff to check the issue and finally resolve it. At times, the hot water side of the shower and bath would turn to very cold water without warning, then back to lukewarm water. The food in the main restaurant was very good, as was the service. The food at the adult pool was marginal at best. Overall, we enjoyed the stay. It is a very nice property. It just needs a few tweaks by management."
