Calypso Resort & Towers is about as close to the heart of Panama City Beach as a condo can get, and we help buyers evaluate it often. Sitting right next to Pier Park, it pairs a prime location with strong amenities and a range of floor plans. As a team focused on building-level condo analysis, we know how the towers differ and what that means for buyers. Here is our guide to Calypso Resort & Towers.
Key Takeaways
- Calypso sits adjacent to Pier Park across three towers (two Gulf-front and a third across the street).
- The original two towers hold 396 units; Tower III adds 250 more.
- Floor plans run one to three bedrooms, roughly 841 to 1,398 square feet.
- Tower III added newer amenities like rentable pool cabanas.
The Towers and Location
Start with the setting, because Calypso's location is its biggest draw.
The resort sits adjacent to Pier Park, putting more than 100 stores, restaurants, and attractions like the SkyWheel and The Grand Theater within walking distance. The original two Gulf-front towers rise 22 floors with 396 units combined, and the newer Tower III adds 22 floors and 250 units.
Tower III was the first new resort tower built in the area in over a decade, so it offers a more current option alongside the established towers.
