“Expect what all the bad reviews say they are right”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed May 29, 2012 via mobile

Last minute trip for mini weekend getaway!! Over priced for the rooms! Lots of young kids stay there ad party it was very loud and teenagers everywhere. The owner of the motel is a women who treated my husband like a teenager. The owner should of been welcoming a respectful no hospitality at all. The font desk people where very nice and Dave's tiki bar which is run by owners husband is a very nice man. Rooms were nasty bring Lysol and your own comforter and pillows. All the negative reviews are right!! Expect what you read. They make you wear an armband to let everyone know you belon to the hotel. The towels are so small they only cover top part of your body. Would never stay there again! Way over priced like staying at a motel 8 would not advise and couples or families to stay there just young teenagers for a senior trip!!! Horrible smelly place stay away

“A Stay In Paradise”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed May 28, 2012

Just returned from a week at Bikini Beach Resort and must say that it gets better every time that we stay there. The staff are very friendly and make our stay very enjoyable. The owners are always asking for ways to improve their establishment and love to hear feedback from their guests (family). In the last year they have put in new stoves and cabinets and were in the process of putting new mattresses in the rooms while we were there ( the owner had us sit on one of the beds that had the new mattress and I must say that I am looking even more forward to my next stay). There is a beautiful pool which is kept very clean and you are also just steps away from the gulf. We have been going to BBR since 1986 and it is like going home to see your family. We will definitely be going back.

“Wonderful beach resort!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed May 8, 2012 via mobile

I enjoyed my stay here, the people were very generous and helpful! The beach was where we wanted to spend a lot of time and the beach access from the hotel was great! Our hotel room was nice and again I can't be more happy with the generous people who work there, thanks for the wonderful experience! I will be back!

“A Family Favorite”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed May 6, 2012

My family and I have been staying at Bikini Beach for many years and couldn't think of staying anywhere else. The prices are very reasonable, the location is great, and its an original PCB hotel. On our most recent stay we were pleased to find out that all the kitchen appliances and cabinets had been replaced with new ones, which always come in handy! The staff is always amazing, and is never anything short of accommodating and extremely friendly. The tiki bar is the cherry on top, ending each day with a delicious drink watching the sunset. My family has made many memories at Bikini Beach over the years and will continue to for years to come!!!

“Great Location and Reasonable Rates”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed May 4, 2012

This was my first time staying at Bikini Beach, referred to me by coworkers and friends. It is located RIGHT ON THE BEACH, and has a tiki bar and beach rentals are right in front of the hotel on the beach. If you are a family with a budget that don't require fancy frills, then you will be very satisfied with Bikini Beach (American Owned). They are much more reasonable than most hotels in the area.

My room was very clean and comfortable. The rooms do not have frills, but it does have the necessary amenities (Cable TV, hairdryer, safe and a great air conditioner). One of my friends got a room with a kitchenette (full size stove and refrigerator w a balcony), so if you are going to bring your kids (NOT on spring break week), then you will be very satisfied. The staff was also very friendly.

I noticed some bad reviews AFTER my stay at Bikini Beach and it is obvious that those reviews are during spring break, which is going to expose guests to all walks of life. That's just what you have to expect anywhere in Panama City during Spring Break.

Room Tip: I would recommend the balcony rooms with a kitchen if you are staying a week and want to save money...
