Sugar Sands Beachfront Hotel, a By The Sea Resort

I liked that the beach was not crowded, the beds were comfortable, and we couldn't hear noise from our neighbors through the walls or corridor door. There is a kitchette in the room if you decide to cook. I have mixed feelings concerning the location because the size of the crowd was excellent for us, but if we wanted to do different type activities other than the beach we had to take the car. It's a trade off of which you value more. They do have jetski rental on the beach at this location.

It was just the 2 of us but in our room there were 2 queen beds and they were divided or separated by the bathroom and kitchen area so that's nice if you have kids , each can be in their own space and not right next to each other. Kitchen area was equipped enough with basics(silverware, can opener, plates, bowls, glasses, cups and something to cook in, etc) There is NO blow dryer so bring your own from home(glad I did). Iron and ironing board provided. Plenty (4) of towels and washcloths. This is not a high rise luxury condo and if you are expecting that, you will be disappointed but there is something quaint and reminiscent about staying in a hotel/motel and we just loved it. It is upgraded so the flooring is lvp, beds have all white linens and spread and it's clean. Walkout to the beach was fabulous! It's right there. Loved the feel of "classic motel/hotel" with a bit of modern and no elevators to worry about on our ground floor unit. The photo is from inside our room.

loved my room that was on the beach with a balcony; shower didn't work; no stopper for tub

The resort was good overall, especially for the price. A few miles from Panama City Beach, which is nice if you want to be outside of the hustle and bustle. The traffic going to PCB was heavy due to construction, but manageable. I was not aware that the laundry facilities were across the street and ended up driving 30 mins away to a laundry mat, discovered the resort facilities on our last night there. Was my own fault, I should have asked. Additional parking also across the street. The main parking lot is tight and can be tricky to navigate. Overall, would recommend, the beach was fantastic!!

It is an amazing place, I brought my family the week before Christmas and stayed there for the first time. The staff all 3 shifts go above and beyond to accommodate your every need. I just returned from my 2nd stay on Friday. The location is wonderful away from all the condos and rat races. Beautiful pool area and great clean beach area. I have been coming to pcb for 55 years, and I will continue to come and stay at this location of sugar sands.
