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.

we stayed one night at$233.00,the remote wouldn't work the beds were so hard and uncomfortable.then the toilet ran over one one flush and flooded out room .dry vacuum it.no approgies nothing done.aak for management no one could talk.the smell in elevator and hallway smells like sweage

been coming here the past few years and never had a complaint, but this time i have to say i will not be coming back! prices have gotten to high and its to noisy late at night!! loud music playing and people being loud!! some people enjoy a quiet peaceful stay and a good nights sleep!! Need to enforce noise ordinince!!

Fun, once you find a place to park.

My Worst “Resort” Experience Ever ★☆☆☆☆ (1 star) I rarely feel this disgusted after a single phone call, but Sandpiper Beacon Beach Resort earns every bit of this! ⸻ ❌ Abysmal Customer Service • One call, one star: I placed a simple call with questions about their website—and the receptionist was so rude and dismissive that it soured my entire impression. She offered zero help, seemed utterly uninterested in even basic information, and made me hang up in frustration. ⸻ 🏚️ Decaying, Grimy Accommodations • Ancient décor: The rooms look like they haven’t been updated in 50 years—faded wallpaper, scratched furniture, and peeling paint around the dresser and shower. • Overpowering stench: A musty, damp odor hit me as soon as I opened the door, like a mix of mildew and stale cigarettes. • Faulty front door: It wouldn’t latch, so it swung open and closed all night, letting in rain, noise, and pests. ⸻ 🚭 Smoke‑Filled “Non‑Smoking” Hallways I specifically booked a non‑smoking room in a non‑smoking building, yet the entire hallway reeked of cigarette smoke and guests were openly puffing outside my door. ⸻ 💥 Hostile On‑Site Environment When I arrived, it was pouring rain—and I witnessed the manager and tenant hurling the N‑word at each other and threats of brandishing a gun in a terrifying confrontation. I have never felt so unsafe anywhere. ⸻ Avoid this place at all costs—it’s not a resort, it’s a crumbling, poorly run apartment block masquerading as a vacation spot. One atrocious phone call was all it took: a single star.

I recently went on my bachelor trip to pcb and we had booked a house through Sandpiper Beacon and made a down payment. Upon arrival we were told we can’t get it due to us not being 25 years old. We saw nothing stating that we had to be 25 years old till after we already booked so therefore they would not even give us our down payment back when it shouldn’t have even let us book it if we were not 25 years old. I HIGHLY DO NOT RECOMMEND ANYONE TO STAY AT THE SANDPIPER!!!!!! THEY WILL TAKE YOUR MONEY IN A HEART BEAT!!

This is a fun and beautiful place to come but the service at the bar is very bad I stood there for 10 minutes and the bartender didn’t even greet me making order around me like she didn’t see me went to the lobby to complain they said it nothing they could do so I will not be spending money here
