My husband & I and another couple stayed her for 1 night, we were looking for a condo to buy in that area. We paid $129 for a oceanfront room, it was on the side of the building, should have been called ocean-view! The rooms were gross, old carpet, bathroom was disgusting. No shampoo, hair dryer provided. You would think... More

Check your expectations at the front desk that 'Resort' in the property name implies any more luxury than you would expect from a primitive camping trip. This property is just terrible. Shampoo is not provided in your room. Towels are as rough as sand paper. Elevators may require a five minute wait. Beds are terrible. Comforters on beds should be... More

They allow you to have pets which is helpful to people traveling with dogs. They did not have any shampoo and conditioner which was problematic. More

I chose this place based on other reviews. I was expecting an older place and was aware they are in the process of updating the rooms. What I was disappointed in was for the following ; $20 deposit for blowdryer, no coffee pots in rooms, fee to use in room safe, no hangers in room, deposit for irons, no toiletries... More

I checked the pet's welcome.com web site and the Sandpiper's ad said "no restriction on size of pet". I called on Oct. 5th and talked to Kerri in reservations. I told her I had an 80 pound dog. I asked her about a dog walk/potty area. She said there was one across the road and there would be a $10.00... More

After weeks of the wife and kids nagging me to take them to Florida, I finally caved and booked tickets to Panama City Beach. It wasn't quite Disney like they were expecting, but they were all really happy! Coming all the way from sunny England, I wanted to do LOTS of research before we came. Reviews here on trip advisor...

I took my wife to the sandpiper hotel for a surprise getaway to the beach in October. I hadn't stayed before, but saw the website when doing research, and looked like a great place. As soon as we arrived, we were greeted by friendly staff in the lobby, I think their names were Chris and Lisa - who were very... More

This place is in serious need of an update! The carpet has got to be from the 1960s and smells like it! The room is a decent size but we seriously looked for ways to spend time away from the "resort" because it stunk and was probably the worst hotel in which I have ever stayed! Just don't do it! More
