Welcome to Casa Loma

Casa Loma is a laid-back beachfront hotel situated on a white-sand beach along Front Beach Road in Panama City Beach, Florida. The property features bright rooms, many with ocean-facing balconies that offer guests relaxing views of the Gulf. Its retro style has been partially updated, with some guests noting a mix of contemporary comforts and older fixtures, reflecting a vintage charm rather than modern luxury.

The hotel provides a range of practical amenities including free Wi-Fi, free parking, air conditioning, and accessible facilities. A beachfront outdoor pool and hot tub add to the leisure options, while private beach access makes it easy to enjoy the sun and surf. Some rooms are equipped with kitchens, catering well to families or longer stays.

The location is fabulous. You go out on your deck, and all you see is the waves the ocean. And the beach staff was very friendly rooms are just fine. They're great, clean.

Our room was clean had ocean views. The beds were a little hard but comfortable. Everything worked. The only thing I didnt like are the shutter blinds they are old and some were broken. The pool area was clean the property overall was very nice!

Friendly staff. I love the layout of the room. Long flowing and a beach front balcony. Rooms are Semi renovated. There are some old and fixtures. But we got a great deal and we were very happy. Would stay here again in a heart beat.

I had read some negative reviews but booked this hotel anyway. We are glad we did, it was a retro style hotel I had hoped for. Our balcony was perfect for ocean and sunset views. Access to the beach was great, no long walk or traversing down steps. All the staff I had spoken with were very friendly and helpful. Now it is not a high rise, luxury hotel/condo, but if you are looking for a nice, quiet place on the beach, this could be your place on PCB!

Me and a girl friend stayed here in late August! (Been busy, sorry on the review delay);-) **** First off, don’t let the negative reviews turn you away. Sometimes those negative writings are from those negative people who are never satisfied! ;-/ **** At first sight/impression, you would think twice, especially since the hotel from the outside looks straight out of the 1960s! I’m usually a high-end hotel kinda girl, but my mind was quickly changed once we saw our room, it’s completely renovated! The beds were comfortable, clean crisp linens, plenty of towels & toilet paper (when requested), AC kicks butt, the shower water pressure was awesome and the view is perfect of the white sandy beach! There are showers to rinse off after being on the beach at the hotel’s private beach access. The pool looked real nice and it was very warm, but we didn’t use it since there were a lot of kids in it, so we went to the beach & ocean, which we preferred! The only downfall is there are no elevators, and you must carry your stuff up stairs, but to have that view from our room, was well worth it! The staff were very friendly and the grounds were constantly being maintained. I’d definitely stay again; the price, view, location and free parking were all great!

I was a little skeptical about this place because of some of the reviews, but I was pleasantly surprised by Casa Loma! Check-in was quick, the room was nice, the pool was great, and having beach access was phenomenal. Just keep in mind that the bathrooms are small, there is no elevator, and there is no breakfast. However, it is in a great location and nothing is too far away. I will definitely book here again.

If you want retro authentic old PCB beachfront experience….Casa Loma is the place to stay! Clean rooms, very nice helpful staff, beachside pool, all rooms view the ocean for beautiful sunsets in the afternoon. Great price! We will choose Casa Loma again.

An absolutely wonderful hotel! I had booked a room for the upcoming days, but unfortunately, due to illness, I wasn’t able to travel. When I called and asked to cancel my reservation, the staff member who assisted me was incredibly kind and attentive — he explained everything clearly and helped me with the cancellation right away. They canceled my reservation without charging any fees, and this left a truly positive impression on me. Even though I haven’t stayed at the hotel yet, the level of service already speaks for itself. I will definitely visit and stay at this hotel in the near future! Service deserves 10 stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
