Great Review of Splash 2103 west

What follows is a review of splash our unit 2103 west taken from trip advisor from a man who has long vacationed at Panama city beach.

I found my rental through VRBO.com listing #118512. I talked to the owner and he was friendly and informative. We stayed in room 2103 which was a beautiful 2 bedroom, 2 bath, with a bunk bed in a nicely partitionedthe bunk area, and a pull out couch, so everyone was happy with the sleeping arrangements (something I also couldn’t get anywhere else for this price). Being on the 21st floor, we had a wonderful view of the ocean from our spacious deck in all directions. There were sliding glass doors to the deck from the living room and master bedroom. The room had free local calls, which you don’t see much anymore and also had free wired high speed internet. The condo had large bedrooms with walk-in closets. The master bedroom had a wheel chair accessible shower and a large tub. The kitchen had natural oak cabinets with granite counter tops. It was well furnished with new furniture and artwork with a beach theme. Very nicely done!

And if you have young children, like we have, there is truly no better place to stay! The pools are fantastic! Coming down during the sometimes cool weather of spring break, I felt fortunate to stay in a condo where two of the pools and the Jacuzzi were heated, but that didn’t stop my kids from playing in the fantastic, un-heated, water playground and the lazy river pool ride which is a pool that has a current that slowly floats you around it’s oval course on floats provide by Splash. If you have young toddlers, try the lily pad area with the large frog and turtle that have water jets that come from all directions that the youngsters really enjoyed. I see all of those pools really being fun as the weather gets warmer. Also, one of the heated pools and the water playground are covered so if you get too much sun, or just don’t want any, you can stay there. Genius!

When peak season starts, they are going to offer “dive in movies” where the family watches a movie in the pool at night and a food bar at the pool. There were also gas grills by the pool if you feel like cooking out while you are there.

Splash also provides a workout room where the machines over look the beach. I can't discribe that room, but I can tell you all about the ice cream shop! ;)

The beach was wonderful. There were Wave Runners, Para Sail, and banana boat rides rented right from our section of beach. Plenty of beach front (don't be decieved by my pictures from our room.)

I know this sounds like a paid ad for the place, but I feel that if a business really does something right, like Splash has, you really need to tell others about it.

I have been coming down to the panhandle of Florida all of my life and feel like I have found the perfect place to stay. Thanks Splash! We had a GREAT time!
