Don’t stay here! The place is a dump. The photos do not clearly depict the dilapidated condition in which this condo really is in. The pictures listed are either old or extremely edited. Read, yelp first, join a Panama City Facebook page. You will see that Tidewater Beach Resort as a whole is the worst place to stay in Panama City Beach.
Every inch of the condo was gross. From the moldy rotting water soaked, dust covered baseboards, very old worn tub to the dirt covered decor, it was gross. Every wall was beaten up. Scuff marks holes in the wall, torn off the wall by poorly re hung towel holder. And don’t bother contacting Tidewater or the owner. They don’t care. They know this place is run down. We contacted VRBO, but they said all they can do is reach out to the owner, which resulted in a no resolution. We had the housekeepers come to try to clean up some but they told me that all my issues were maintenance issues, and the owner knows about them and won’t provide small remodel, recaulk, paint jobs etc.
In all my years traveling I have never seen a more poorly depicted facility. The wait for the elevators in this location is 30+ minutes. The resort itself is very trashy. Very overpriced. These are Maui prices and you are getting motel 8 service and ambience.
Every family I ran into in the elevator, told me they will never return to Tidewater. We were there as part of a softball organization for a tournament. We will be contacting them to warn others about this place.
