Icon7 1st SB Experience Where to Stay?

Hi, we have a group coming over from the UK to Panama Beach for Spring Break 2006, but we have never been before .

Can anyone reccommend a decent hotel to stay in? Ive heard the boardwalk is a good area to stay as its close to everything. Ive been looking atthe Howard Johnson hotel on the boardwalk. Anyone got any tips?

Any help appreaciated :)

Thanks!

we're staying in the Marriott @ Legends bay....is this a good place or is it too far from all the action ?? We got a 2br condo so space is not a problem since it's only me and my friend. also we're coming the week of 2/18 - 2/24 is it going to be good or are all the chicks coming the next week ??

blayton - you will be in town a little early for most Spring Breakers. Things don't really pick up until the first of March. But, you will still be able to have some fun... you'll just have to look a little harder for it.

Bay Point is a really nice community a little ways from the Beach and the action. The Marriott is a little more upscale in BP, so you'll have to keep the partying in check at your hotel, but if you hook up, you will be able to party in style. Use your hotel to impress the ladies, but find someone else's hotel to party if you really wanna throw down.

Oh, and here's a link to the map: Spring Break 2006 Map. Bay Point Marriott is on the East end of Thomas Drive, North of Capt. Anderson's and Boatyard (it's not shown on the map since it's not a big spring break hotel, but maybe we should put it on there?).

Also, check our Panama City Beach Hotel section for more info on the Marriott @ Bay Point.

Is nobody staying at the Holiday Inn? Seems like everybody is staying at the Chateau or Boardwalk. Do you guys know something I don't?
