“Who knew that this old place still had it going on!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 January 2012
5
people found this review helpful

My husband and I last stayed at the Chateau about 37 years ago. We wanted to go the "ball drop" at Pier Park on New Year's Eve but did not want to spend an arm and a leg. We were not sure about staying here because we knew that it was one of the older properties in Panama City Beach. Well, the good price won us over, and we gave it another try! We will definitely be staying here again! Not fancy, but very, very clean! We had a cabana room that looked freshly painted and freshly carpeted. The condos that we have been staying in for the past few year didn't have sheets and towels as nice our room had. The bed was very comfortable, and believe me, my old body would have told on it. No stale odors, no smoky odors, and no mildew odors were detected. I highly recommend trying a cabana room; the ocean is literally inches away. There was college groups and families with children staying while we were there. Absolutely no noise could be heard outside when in or out of our room. The ladies that I talked with on the phone and at the front desk were as nice as they could be! There is no elevator but that was not a problem with us. I can't wait to go back this grand old lady.

Room Tip: If you want a cabana room, you must be able to climb down two sets of steps.

“Thansgiving Get-A-Way”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 November 2011
1
person found this review helpful

We arrived on Thanksgiving Day (2011). Rooms are clean and quiet. Staff very friendly and willing to help you. Would have liked to have had safety door locks or latches on tops of doors. Had to keep catching my 3 yr old out of both doors. Also, would only stay on bottom floor. Balcony, although it was a breath taking view, I would panic every time the little one was out there. Seems like a small child could pass through the bars. A great place for Spring Break, you are in the center of everything fun. Swimming area looks beautiful. No elevator, but its only 1 flight of stairs. You can even wash and dry your clothe here if you are staying for an extended visit.

Enjoyable stay, friendly staff, pleasant and quiet atmosphere (off season). Rooms have been recently updated with flat screens, comfy beds, nice furniture. HOT water, nice pool and ocean views. Conveniently located and easily accessible (in and out). Would stay here again!

“Beach Bum Reunion”

people found this review helpful

This was our 8th year having our BBR at the Chateau!! Why do we keep coming back? These folks treat our small party of 200+ like family. The staff are very accomodating,friendly, and work hard to keep everything going just right for us the week that most of us are there. We like it here so much we will now be coming twice a year to have our party!!! The Large outdoor TV'S were an added bonus this year. Thanks Chateau Staff for all your hard work and friendly attitudes!!!

“Outstanding staff, reasonable rates, beachfront on the world's most beautiful beach.”

My sister and I have stayed at this property almost annually for the past 20 years. The rooms are top rate, including furnishings and cleanliness. The swimming pool is quite large, and is on the ocean side!! The rates are reasonable, and the staff was MORE THAN GRACIOUS, helping this ole' senior citizen with my luggage and responding promptly and courteously to my needs. And it sits right on THE WORLD'S MOST BEAUTIFUL BEACH, I know, I've seen most of them! The Chateau is rated A++++++ in my book! J.Long
