FACTS: Stayed beginning of October 2009 Rates were around $75/night You get what you pay for is the bottom line, however, there are nicer units for the same price on the beach. Would have been a great unit if I was back in college and on Spring Break and I had 3 other friends along, instead of having my spouse... more

We here at Sugar Sands Inn & Suites are always concerned when we hear a customer is not completely satisfied after staying with us. We pride ourselves on being a clean, bright, family- friendly place that all our customers love to stay at each time, every time. We have many guests that return to stay with us year after year...

My wife and I stumbled across Sugar Sands in March of 09, and got such a great rate on a suite, we decided to come back again. It has become our place to stay in Panama City Beach. The rooms are nice and clean, the service personnel do a great job, and the pool and spa are clean and well... more

My wife and I had stayed here about 8 years ago and I didn't give a thought to the condition of the rooms for this trip. In our previous visits, we had stayed in both the beachfront rooms and the across the street efficiency rooms and were very satisfied with both locations. This time I stayed in the efficiency rooms... more

We recently stayed at this motel in spite of reading some of the reviews online, and found it to be a great little beach getaway on the west end of Panama City Beach. It is one of the last "small-town" locally owned family places left on the beach, and the good rates and friendly laid back atmosphere reflect this. The... more

After reading the reviews I was almost scared to stay here after I reserved the room. My husband was recently diagnosed with leukemia and laid-off from work and I explained that to the staff several times before we arrived in FL my concern for molded rooms. I must admit the older side, which they originally had us assigned, was a... more

There was live mole here and it is very unsanitary. The hotel clerk was very rude and nasty. I simply asked... more
