Calypso Resort by Panhandle Getaways

On the beach

It’s always clean and the location is great

The prices are inflated comparably.

Accommodations, Location and view

Furniture and cabinet doors have seen better days

Great location, and beach views from our room balcony. Very nice property and pools were good, too.

The Calypso has a very confusing drill to get to your room: The parking garage requires a crazy entry/exit bar code to open the swing gate--and the code reader often did NOT work. Then you have elevators plus a long corridor just to get to the main buildings, which are not marked clearly for rooms. You have to do another elevator drill and walk some more before you get to your unit. Our condo unit had a very poor window shade in the bedroom, so we had to hang up some towels in order to sleep due to the bright light outside our window. The washer worked okay but the dryer emitted a shrill squeaking noise constantly, and the dishwasher was as noisy as a "cheapie" model. Refrigerator required some repair by us, so we could use it to store our food. There was sand in the walkways, hallways, and everywhere so it got into your room too. No one seemed to be sweeping it up. Not coming back.
