Tidewater Beach Resort by Panhandle Getaways

Tidewater has always been a favorite of ours. Until we had to walk 12 flight of stairs cause the elevator kept going out. So being on the 4th floor was a definite improvement.

The elevators are a #1 nightmare for EVERYONE staying there. The place is 30 floors so it obviously is HUGE and holds TONS of people so there is LOTS of constant foot traffic all over and there are 7 elevators in total and only 2 days of a whole week weere we, my family and i, able to travel around the resort, down to the beach, pools, back up within efficient timing without waiting more than 20 mins to elevator.MOST of the time. The 2 outdoor pools were too cold. the indoor pool way too crowded and tiny. . The out door hot tubs were freezing and broken as well. The staff was very rude and unhelpful. You have to pay for a parking park and for arm bands just to get in and and out and around the place. Beach was crowed with vacant chairs and unlmbrellas every day so no room for us and we could use without paying buere were plenty for each unit.

Decent place to stay Let me start by saying, the views were spectacular!!! However, my biggest issue was as everyone has said…the elevators. We were on the 6th floor and took the stairs down numerous times. It states check in is from 4-6, so you’d expect the room to be ready at 4 for check in. We had a code to our door which didn’t work prior to 4 and we tried around 4:20 and it worked. The resort is self check in for these rooms because most or all are private owned by outside parties. The room looked like it had been mostly cleaned but the master bed was unmade with dirty sheets and towels in the bathroom floor. I called panhandle resorts and she got someone up to clean it fairly quickly and was very nice about it. They cleaned from top to bottom so I have no complaints there. As far as the room, it was decent for price. Could use a little updating and some fresh paint but not a complete dealbreaker. One of my biggest issues was the cookware/dishes. There were no spatulas, and only two bowls, but we made due. All in all, minus the slow elevators we had a good time.

Nice building but the elevator took over 30 minutes to an hour. And the heat didn’t help while waiting on them, I felt like my blood sugar had drop my hair was wet including my clothes, the apartment wasn’t what we expected your website doesn’t explain the difference, we wanted ocean front where the master bedroom had a door and the bedroom close to the door allow for all noises to ne heard from street noise or kid’s running up and down walkway, Ommucation was terrible between ******* & also with panhandler everyone was saying they weren’t responsible for the dirty dusty nasty rooms 1013 the couch had many nasty stain on it ;the chair or one on the balcony was very nasty yep I took pictures before and after too much money for this to be uncleaned dust on lamps, beach chairs dirty , my mother had an allergic reaction to the dust & it must had hve dogs in there because she is highly allergic and yes stated no dogs and one very large one went on the elevator so we/my mom didn’t get on it so we had to wait about 30 more minutes, very disappointing and not sure if we will use a third party to book our next trip I finally got my mother to use ******* and she help me pay for this resort to be very unhappy and got sick, the dust on the lamps in the bathroom and dust or bugs she said were behind her nightstand, yep. She took pictures

Elavators were awful they inoperable most of the time. Up to 30 minute wait for them at peak times. Condo was great. Property was awful. Last stay here.

Out of service With the construction going on around there, it was kind of confusing getting to the parking deck. My main complaint is the elevators. A majority of the time, they simply weren’t working. It’s bad enough they’re all super crowded, but out of service caused a lot of wasted time trying to get to/from the unit.
