Pros:

The hotel, staff, pool, and restaurant were great. The location was also perfect. The hotel is surrounded by two parks, and a pier and bike rental are right at the hotel's oceanfront.

Pros:

Just came back from a recent stay at The Pan American. What a pleasant experience from check in to check out. The staff was super friendly and helpful. The room was clean and the bed really comfortable. We were able to walk right to the beach and it was self park. Spent time by their heated pool and firepit (at night). They also have a restaurant on the premise however we werent there long enough to try it but will next time for sure. Highly recommend.

Well managed with nice facilities
Pros:

We stayed in a kitchenette suite that was nicely designed, and nicely apportioned with good bathroom products and such. The staff was all very friendly, and the pool was a hit with our 8-year-old. This is a cool, slightly retro hotel that's being well managed.

Pros:

The property had a really neat mid 20th century or maybe even a little earlier theme. The staff was very pleasant. We really enjoyed the vibe. The rooms were very clean.

Conversely, sound. Were the walls thin or did sound pass through the ventilaton system? We could clearly hear conversations in neighboring rooms.

We did really enjoy our stay. We loved a little balcony off of our room. We had a fun vacation. This is a nice place for getting away from Philly to “down the shore.”

Pros:

We had a fun time at the Oceanfront Pan American Hotel. The hotel is tidy and the staff is very friendly. Our only complaint was the location of our room. Unfortunately, we were next to the cleaning staff’s room. It was very noisy in the morning with loud voices and washing machines constantly turning. We booked at the last minute so understandable. Would stay again but would make sure our room would be in a better location.

Pros:

we totally recommend the Pan American. The entire property was extremely clean, the pool is amazing, the staff is very friendly and the restaurant on premises is fantastic. It's on the beach and it's a short walk to the Wildwood boardwalk.

Would go back.
Pros:

Very nice place. Clean for the most part. Had to switch rooms. First room very clean. Second room had dirty bathroom floor and bed sheets were worn and pilling. Overall i would say if they provided a little single use coffee witj creamers in the room that would be cool. They do offer coffee in lobby but only after 7pm.

Ok but pricey
Pros:

Cute place but much smaller than the website photos . Walls are paper thin and couldnt sleep well. Needs an update and soundproofing. Walkable location.. onsite restaurant has very limited menu. OceanFRONT rooms cost extra but its better than any others due to noise levels.

Pros:

Nice family oriented hotel. The staff was very nice and helpful and the accommodations were clean. The room was a bit small but we didnt spend much time in it anyway. We ate breakfast at their restaurant and the food was good and the restaurant's outside seating was very nice but the coffee was not good at all; we asked for fresh coffe and we received more coffee flavored water.

Pros:

The hotel was very clean and the property around it as well.The service staff was incredibly polite and helpful. Loved the room(efficiency for 6). Very spacious, updated and clean. Parking was not a problem and the onsire restaurant, Cavu, offers breakfast, lunch and dinner. Pool is larger than most in the area and loved the fire pit.The boardwalk is only a 5 min walk from the hotel so no need to drive and pay for parking. Conveniently located next to a park for children, a bike rental shop and the walking/bike path. Also we loved the complementary coffee and cookies offered from 8pm through 7:30am. Loved our stay so much we booked a return trip a month from now.
Thank you for a wonderful time.

Pros:

We had such an amazing time! This was our first time staying at the Pan American and we will definitely be back. The staff were so friendly, the rooms were spotless and the pool atmosphere was great! The f&b was also amazing. My son loved the window at the pool to grab snacks throughout the day and ice cream. We will definitely be back!
