The Resort Collection of Panama City Beach announces its acquirement of approximately 200 units within the luxurious Grand Panama Beach Resort, located in the heart of Panama City Beach. The Resort Collection will be the on-site management company for Grand Panama, and will direct daily operations involving food and beverage, maintenance, housekeeping, reservations and front desk. This state-of-the-art Gulf-front luxury resort offers a first-class family destination that is surpassed only by its renowned sugar-white sand and emerald waters.

“Grand Panama Beach Resort is a great addition to the collection,” said Tom Sparks, general manager for The Resort Collection. “The nearly 200 units that we will manage are luxury at its finest, and we are confident that the addition of this property will allow us to continue to offer our guests an unrivaled quality vacation.”

Tom Donahue, previously director of rental services for The Resort Collection, will be the director of operations overseeing daily procedures and managing organizational strategies.

The Resort Collection has earned a reputation of excellence and, with Grand Panama at the helm as its signature resort, they are able to provide guests with optimal amenities. Multiple upscale retail shops, boutiques, eateries, and coffee shops are conveniently located nearby. The fitness center, with vaulted ceilings and abundant natural lighting, is also available. Their devoted management team is on-site for any requests or questions you may have. Two pools, including an adult leisure pool, contribute to a panoramic view of the spectacular location of Grand Panama Beach Resort.
