You have to remember that this property is 60 years old but having said that our stay was rather enjoyable. Our room was clean with a fantastic balcony View of the beach . The swimming pool was large and heated and they had a cabana area that was pretty nice with adult size swings . Unfortunately the bar in the Cabana area was not opened while we stayed there but we could definitely see the potential. other than needing an updated look , some modernization ; it worked well for what we needed which was a last minute place to stay. I would recommend it for anyone . Also the price was right. The staff was very accommodating and friendly. Our stay was during Panama City beaches Bike Week and they definitely look the part . It made for a very enjoyable stay with them.

The room is definitely not as pictured on the website. The floor was dirty. Outside the room not at all well lit and the light switch on the wall not working. The only good thing about this place is the view. VERY disappointing.

My fiancée and I visited Panama City Beach, Fl for my birthday. We were under the impression we booked a luxurious room at the "Bikini Beach Resort" emphasis on resort. I am an avid traveler, so when my fiancee said wed be staying at a resort, I was too thrilled. Until we arrived at the Bikini Beach Apartment Complex.. I mean "Resort". From first glance, the hotel looked like a step up from the Motel 6. We decided to continue with our reservation and give it a chance. We were assigned to room 115 and upon us entering the room, we noticed, holes in the ceiling, stains on the furniture, blood on the sheets, the bathroom gave prison cell, just overall disgusting. The only thing that blocked outsiders from looking into the bathroom was a piece of fabric that was supposed to be a "curtain". We felt no sense of security, there was a door that led outside in our room that was creaky and you had to slam it to make sure it shut properly. This hotel gave us the ick. After seeing this hotel room, the Bikini Beach Resort ought to be ASHAMED. The pictures they advertise on their site is FRAUD. The only pro I have about this place is that the staff in the front lobby was very friendly and the first bag of ice was free. However, I wouldn't recommend anyone to stay here. We ended up checking out the same day we checked in and bought a room at the Embassy Suites Panama City Beach.

An older hotel, great for a quick little getaway. Convenient since it's on the beach. Dated but clean, and pool seemed well maintained. Staff very friendly & accommodating. Close to everything. We would go there again.

Old but clean. Was there for the location for an event. Friendly staff. Convenient location. A little noisy at times but not obnoxiously so. I would use again if I was ever in need of the area. The beach was beautiful.

Worst place ever! Got in to town late and picked this place for one night and it was awful. Never again. Dirty, things were broken and very outdated. We paid $180 for this crappy room. The beach was beautiful though.

This is has to be one of the worse stay. Dirty room. The bed had sand all over it. They don’t change the bedding for their customers. They barely have any parking. Not worth the hassle. I wish we saved our money. On top of that the staff are rude!

Sinks don’t drain you’re left standing in your own filth as you shower. Balcony doors don’t properly shut and lock. We paid more for a room with a kitchenette that didn’t have one single thing in it and we didn’t think to travel with everything to furnish a kitchen. So it was useless because I didn’t want to go purchase a random kitchen items. We notified staff that someone had pooped in the pool. They told us it was “playdoh” waited another 15 minutes and called the office. The whole process was about 45 minutes to get them to close the pool area. Pool was never drained and cleaned and the feces was smeared on the wall of the pool as well. The hallways and elevator smell like hot pee and are filthy. Room stays very humid. The few times we interacted with front office staff the ladies were very nice.

Terrible hotel, out dated, dirty, room furniture from 1902, do your self a favor and go somewhere else.Honestly a waste of money., and is not a cheap price to pay. Doors are not that secure, toilet dysfunctional, hair dryer broken, tiny swimming pool, room had a horrible pot smell, room did not even had a closet, rug was old and had stains., elevator filty and smell like urine.Pictures of the hotel are deceiving. Front desk people very friendly and nice.

I will never book here again. Are room was nasty. They pulled up the carpet and didn't do anything else.glue was still on the floor.no Towel service. At least not are room. Pics of rooms on websites are NOT their rooms.
Yes, it's on the beach and that is the only accurate item pictured. The rooms were dirty, outdated and smelly, like a wet dog. No hot water at all. Loud construction in the am. Terrible parking and someone tried to break in our door, they partially opened it, if it wasn't locked they would have been in our room. The front counter lady was very nice but the hotel was awful.

Not bad for the price point! Was a good day or two getaway and the rooms were clean. We would definitely stay here again.

I was highly upset to find out that the room I booked was misrepresented for this resort on Expedia. The pictures for this unit showed a kitchenette when, in fact, it only included a microwave and mini-fridge. I would have been livid to arrive and find out when it was too late! Fortunately, I cancelled my trip and hope the resort correctly updates the information provided for this type unit. Very disappointed and will not consider this resort in the future.

Bad, dirty, the outside corridors to the rooms smell like pee one can see the dry pee on the floor The room smells rancid and dirty. Nothing to do with housekeeping. It is jus an old dirty place. Overpriced. Staff is nice. The parking is across a busy road in front of the hotel. The picture do not represent, at all, what you get. Look for the small print of your reservation they sell ocean view, but you get an interior room with a window to the smelly corridor.

It was very conveniently located and right on the beach, has a really nice pool. The room was fairly clean except for the floor, I had black feet walking around in there. But in general the room was great, walking distance to so much good stuff! The exterior looks shabby and could seriously use some TLC. I would definitely stay there again for a day or two or three. Would gladly recommend it to others. Staff was very friendly and courteous.
