Candlewood Suites Panama City Beach Southeast By Ihg

Panama City Beach

"The rooms were nice. However, the AC in window had dust and debris, and there were roaches near the fridge and counter area. I saw two, but never saw them again after putting my food away from the counter. They definitely could’ve crawled in my food if I didn’t notice them sooner. The ceilings had some leak spots but no leaks. The shower floor was stained or not the cleanest. The curtain was also a bit torn and stained. I could hear a baby crying all night in the room next to me and...

Top Panama City Beach Hotel Reviews

The Reef at Seahaven Beach Resorts

10/10 Excellent

"Very clean, steps away from the beach, staff was nice!!!"

Beachside Resort Panama City Beach

6/10 Okay

"Staff friendliness 10:10. Close to the beach 10:10. Pool 10:10. View 10:10. Away from the strip craziness 10:10. Cleanliness 3:10. Updated and fresh 1:10. This place would be 10:10 in all categories if they cleaned it up and updated the rooms. It needs updating REALLY badly."

Radisson Beachfront Hotel - Panama City Beach

6/10 Okay

"This is a pretty basic hotel. When we checked in, I remember thinking the room was clean, but it was clear the property was showing its age in a few places. For example, our room had a kitchen, but one of the cabinet doors was partially falling off. It wasn’t a major issue, but it definitely wasn’t a luxury experience. The beach access was excellent and probably the biggest highlight of the stay. I had planned to use the hot tub, but it didn’t appear to be very clean, and the water level was noticeably low, causing the pump to make a loud sucking noise. Overall, it was a decent place to stay, but expectations should be set accordingly. It’s affordable for a beach hotel."

Bikini Beach Resort

8/10 Good

"The hotel was good. Could use some maintenance and upgrades. The shower didn't drain well. The front desk staff was friendly and we were able to check in early. However, we were unable to enjoy the pool with our kids due to the tiki bar beside it playing loud music dropping F bombs. It would have been fine if they played edited/radio versions. But they didn't. And it was in the middle of the day when a lot of kids were in the pool."

Seahaven Beach Hotel

2/10 Terrible

"The whole place was dirty, it looks nothing like the pictures online. The beach view was nice but other than that it was terrible. The door looks like it had been kicked in before, there was a hole in the wall by the front door, the bathroom door and all the walls were dirty. There was water dripping from the A/C and there were stains on the couch and bed sheets. Our mini fridge was rusty and not to mention there was a giant COCKROACH running around our room. we paid well over a grand for a few nights but we ended up leaving after one day because we didn’t even feel comfortable walking around without shoes on. I don’t even understand how this place is still open or how they’ve gotten away with having ANY decent reviews."

Palmetto Beachfront Hotel, a By the Sea Resort

10/10 Excellent

"From check in to check out the customer service was extremely wonderful. At the time of check in there was a man who wasn't friendly to the front desk clerk Anthony but that didn't stop Anthony from doing his job or being polite to him or anyone else. Great job Anthony! Wonderful place ill definitely be booking my next stay here also. The view of the ocean every morning was breathtaking. Thank you for a wonderful vacation"

Boardwalk Beach Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Loved the tides rooms. I suggest getting a bottom floor oceanside. Was able to go out the balcony back door and go straight down to the beach and pool. The rooms were nice. Only thing I have to complain about is the beds were not very comfortable. You figured they would be for the amount of money it cost."
