Hilton Vacation Club Bayside Resort Panama City Beach

This was our first time staying at this resort and we will definitely be back. They have everything you need to have a relaxing or an adventurous time without ever leaving the property. We had a great time and look forward to our next visit.

This is my favorite place to stay in Florida but now at checkout they charge a $30 dollar per night resort fee plus taxes and fees on that. My last trip to my favorite place.

Overall good, fun property. Good proximity to small private beach

The room was spacious and clean. The bed was very comfortable. The property was well kept, except for several broken sprinkler heads wasting water. Great pools. The refrigerator and microwave were very useful. Sadly, the bathroom to too small.

Stay was not as expected. We were not given the room type we reserved, housekeeping rudely knocked on our door at 8:45am and again at midnight- with things we did not request, fire alarm went off twice one night, and the “private beach”was closed the whole time we were there. Overall, it was just a hot mess. There was also a lot of construction going on, that required entry into one of our family members rooms. Staff was not super helpful unless a manager was around. We love Hilton, but will not be staying at this location again. We had 35 people there for a family reunion and over half us were affected by these same issues.

This was one of the most disappointing and expensive hotel stays I've ever had. The hotel is under major construction, yet they aren't upfront about just how disruptive it is. The lobby is torn apart, parts of the property are inaccessible, and even the beach access was closed. If you can't operate a hotel without ruining your guests' experience, then close until the construction is finished. Our first night, the A/C barely worked, and then the power went out. As if that wasn't enough, a fire alarm went off at 2:00 a.m., forcing everyone to evacuate the building. The explanation from management? "Faulty wiring because of the construction." That's not reassuring—it's alarming. The staff seemed completely indifferent throughout our stay. Every concern was met with excuses instead of solutions. We spent several days by the pool, and not once did we see anyone empty overflowing trash cans or make any effort to maintain the area. The entire property felt neglected. Privacy apparently doesn't exist here, either. We had a Do Not Disturb sign on our door, yet staff still entered our room. That's unacceptable. Ironically, the only people showing concern during our stay were the guests. We spotted a family that had accidentally left a tablet on the roof of their car. When we asked the front desk to contact them, the employee was rude and uninterested. We ended up retrieving the tablet ourselves and giving it to the manager, who said they

Place advertises a two bedroom SUITE which was just two hotel rooms with a lock off in between that does not even prop open when sharing with family. It stated it had a sofa and sofa bed which it does not. I had booked a poolside view and did not get it. Also had two construction related fire alarms where we had to evacuate one of them being 2am in the morning. Not impressed. Brandon and other bartender at pool bar were very nice.

The hotel was beautiful. The staff was answering. The view was beautiful. I can't wait to go back. The room was cleaning. Thank yall.

So much to do. Not right on the beach, but close enough to drive there. The amenities at the resort, and bay were enough to keep you busy when not at the beach. We want to go back soon.

Everything was great other than the private beach!! Would definitely stay again!!

Wonderful place to stay. Enjoyed my vacation stay.

Great staff and facilities!

Stay was okay, place could use some more updating. We got heckled into joining a timeshare meeting at the door. Guy was extremely adamant and it was frustrating considering we were there for only two days and were on limited time altogether. Private beach is nice but it’s a bit of a walk away. No biggie though. The restaurant Ont headwater was closed while we were there unfortunately. They also hit you with a ton of resort fees after check in.

Such a beautiful place I wanna go back already. It is calm relaxing. It is definitely somewhere I wanna go again and the staff was so good. Very helpful. It was clean. They were extremely responsive with the 10 out of 10.

Wonderful place to stay. Highly recommended.

no pen or paper or even a clock in the room

We absolutely loved this resort! The pools were amazing and the hot tub was great! We loved the easy access to the bar between the two pools. The beach was a bit of a walk but so worth it! The staff was super friendly as well. We will be back.

Pool bar has great food and drink selection and made it so we didn’t have to leave the pool area if we didn’t want to.

Great Stay!!!!!!
