I love to travel and my travels have taken me to much of the world. I have stayed in lots of hotels, many of which have continental breakfasts. I don't recall, besides those massive breakfasts available at all-inclusive resorts in Cancun, any being bigger than this.

Out of curiosity, I conducted a random Google search of 'the largest continental breakfast in Panama City Beach, Florida." I figured something would come up. Nothing really did- well, beyond Tripadvisor's list of The 10 Best Panama City Beach Hotels with Complimentary Breakfast. Side note, that's a great resource, especially if you're trying to feed the family on vacation and do it in an affordable way.

Wouldn't you know, the hotel I am staying at is on the list!  While I haven't visited all of the hotels on the list in person, I did cyberstalk photos of the continental breakfasts from some of them. None look bigger than the one at the Holiday Inn Express & Suites Panama City Beach- Beachfront. This thing is huge!

According to Elise Whitman, who works for the Holiday Inn properties in PCB, the breakfast has "the most diverse assortment of breakfast foods" offered by the Express brand. "It gives you all the meats, all the eggs, and more."

Clearly, she's not kidding.

Kyra Fritze, also with the properties, pointed out, "In comparison to Express properties around world, we provide a more expansive set of choices than usual and we are the only one with 4 pancake machines!"

You read that correctly. It has four different pancake machines and I took full advantage this morning.

In addition to pancakes, there are even more options to satisfy a breakfast sweet tooth.

And, of course, there's plenty of coffee to get your beach day underway.

The Holiday Inn Express & Suites Panama City Beach- Beachfront offers their continental breakfast from 6:30am to 9:30am daily. And while I don't have definitive proof that it's the biggest continental breakfast in PCB, it certainly looks like, feels like it and tastes like it.
