I have been here 5/7 days this week and I was told on 3/20 that it is only 21+ and no locals. They did not post anything about this and we drove 30 min to get there and I wasted my expensive makeup for no reason, and gas! Do not reccomend and dj changes the song every 30 seconds. Booooooo

My husband and I married in October 2015 and randomly found this place. we have been back a couple times but just came again this year in October for our 10th anniversary. we love the amenities and that if you don't want to, you can park your car on Sunday when you arrive and not get in it again to Wednesday when you leave. so much in walking distance. Pier park is close by and only a 5 minute drive if that! the staff is overly friendly and helpful. the lady in the gift shop was so very kind and helpful to us. The guy that works at the beach stand for chairs and other rentals, Nate, is the nicest guy and so helpful! we have super enjoyed our time. the only sad part is leaving so soon!!! we wish we could extend our stay!!! The lazy river is a favorite!! we only had one day for sight seeing/lazy river and pool. then another day for the ocean. that's our fault for arriving so late our first day! we recommend this to so many people!! I must note, if you're looking for a four star hotel, this isn't it. If you're on a budget and looking for a decent place to stay, this is it. they have updated some stuff since we were here last but it could use some more work. stuff is a little outdated. but I haven't seen one bug in our room. there was a clump of string and hair on the shower curtain but it looks like it happened in the wash and wasnt caught when it was hung up. the bed was soft and nice. I didn't wake up sore at all. overall its a good place. a lot to do and convenient.

BE WARY!! I have tried repeatedly to resolve this with management - but Patrick avoids doing his job. He won’t return phone calls - thereby refusing to resolve sensibly. It has left me no choice but to leave a thorough review in as many locations as possible. For future guests - forewarned is forearmed. We arrived hopeful for a pleasant week. We were spending a week at the beach looking for some peace after an extremely hard season in our family with dad recently passing. I made a reservation at the Sandpiper to be close to other family staying at the beach. We arrived at what was obviously an older resort, but had no idea what we were in store for. The staff greeted us well and we made it to our room (down badly tilting hallways and up an extremely smelly elevator.) If you have instability issues be prepared. Flat walkways are NOT guaranteed. The VIEW was amazing! The room - tolerable. There was obviously rain damage in the room and the beds were uncomfortable - but it’s just a week - we will make the best of it. There were three of us in a room that sleeps six. While there were plenty of beds squeezed in that space - I have no idea how six people would have navigated in that room daily. I know the assumption is people will be outside at the beach or resort amenities - but when it’s raining constantly you end up in the room more than usual. Space is limited. As for room supplies - dishes were definitely not available for six people, glad we only had three. We had one fork, three spoons, no glasses, but plenty of knives. The smoke alarm was beeping due to batteries as soon as we arrived. They came and changed them - but must have used old batteries because it started beeping again incessantly the morning we were packing. 👉🏼 None of the above was our complaint. We rolled with it - it’s just a week. NOISE: You expect some level of noise when you stay at a place like this, but typically they come with a reasonable “noise curfew.” Supposedly they have one (10 pm). Obviously not enforced unless someone complains. We never knew that until our last night there. Every night - EVERY NIGHT - there was ridiculous noise levels well into the night. 1-2 am. Including what sounded like: music, yelling and shouting, kids running (playing chase) down the halls, furniture being moved, something being built. It was crazy. Sleep was nominal. The last night - and ultimately the straw that broke the camels back) was awful. We tried all week not to be “those” people who complain about everything. We just kept saying it’s only a week. We finally had no choice but to call ☎️ the front office at 2 am. The banging had been ongoing and the music was deafeningly loud. After FIVE nights of no sleep my husband had had enough. He complained. ROOF DAMAGE: We happened to be there during a week with rain. On day three we found out first hand WHY there was rain damage in the room. It was literally streaming down the entry door and wall, soaking across the carpet. We called the front desk to alert them in case they didn’t know. 👀 They knew and offered to send us towels to help absorb or move us to room 213. (Move to the floor BELOW the running, banging and screaming noted above - um, no.) We will stay. Bring us towels. By the end of the week the mildew smell from all the rain was ridiculous and the rain trapped WITHIN the wall would rain down on you whenever you walked through the threshold. Ultimately, we left a day early. Check out is at 10 am - we were loaded by 8. The smoke 🚨 alarm sounding off was a constant reminder that it was time to go. When we checked out on Saturday morning I explained why we were leaving a day early to the receptionist. I did so quietly as to not cause a scene with incoming folks and guests in the lobby. She was very nice and apologetic. I simply asked for a refund of the last day cost. I was told “It shouldn’t be a problem. I will confirm with management when they get in.” I called on Monday to confirm I was told, “It was approved.” Here we are two weeks later with no refund and a manager that is never in

We absolutely loved the Sandpiper Beacon Tiki Resort in Panama City Beach! No wait at all, even during a busy beach day—which was such a nice surprise. The drinks were incredible—highly recommend the “Tiki Surprise” if you’re feeling adventurous (and ready for something delicious!).

There’s plenty of seating, pool tables to keep you entertained, and big fans everywhere to keep it cool—such a great break from the sun without having to leave the beach vibes behind. Super fun, super chill.

Check it out if you’re in PCB—and if you want to see more beach spots and fun finds like this, be sure to follow me and like my pics! Trying to grow my following and share all the good spots with y’all. ☀️🍹📸

I had to complain to management 4 times about the noise level of our neighbors starting the day we arrived. Manager brushed it off like we were the problem. We weren’t the ones with a noisy alarm going off for OVER AN HOUR at 7 am. If you are looking for sleep at all on vacation I don’t recommend this place.
