- This was supposed to be our first Girls’ Weekend out and I wanted my mom, sister and niece to enjoy PC Beach since this was their first time ever going to any beach. Well, I should have paid more attention to the reviews posted and avoided this place all together because the hotel was awful, old, and ragged inside and out! The worst I’ve EVER stayed in. There were hidden fees that totaled more than $130.00. The front desk clerk claim it’s because I book online through a third party (hotels.com) instead of through them. Well, when we got to our “room”, the front door wouldn’t lock because the locks were old or either they’ve been pried and the patio doors were worn. The furniture was at least 25 years old. Did I mention that we were in unit W401 with partial view even though we paid for a gulf view? Well, you best believe I called front desk which was in another building and I had to wait 30 minutes for security to show up with keys to another room. Now, at first front desk said that’s the type unit we reserved. Luckily, I had my confirmation printed stating I paid for gulf view so they switched us to unit W081 which was even WORSE on the inside with those early 1980’s pictures, accessories, and wicker furniture! At least unit 401 with the partial view had 20 inch flat screen TV and DVD because when we went to 801, the TV there was a 19-inch that was VERY fuzzy with a VCR! WHAT?!! Oh, and the carpet floors were dirty, we had to wear socks and shoes. The bottom of my little niece’s socks was black after being there for a while. Bedding was something to scream at because the covers looked dingy. The rooms felt itchy to the skin probably because it hadn’t been thoroughly cleaned in a while. We stayed outdoors more than we did in the units, which was a good thing. But the last straw was the last day of our stay. I saw a couple of roaches crawling on side of the coffee table and that did it! I was ready to GO! The ONLY good thing was the convenience of the beach. I WILL NEVER STAY THERE EVER AGAIN!! Tear that place DOWN!!!! « less

- My wife and I go to Panam City Beach frequently because it is close to our hometown in Alabama. This is by far the WORST Condo I have ever stayed at in my life, the spring break hotels that were demolished a few years back included! The furniture and appliances are very dated. It looked like a flashback to the late 70s-early 80s. The handle was broken to the sliding glass door, which made it nearly impossible to open or close. The lock on the front door was damaged as if the room had been broken into. After our first night, we got on the elevator the next mornigh to find BLOOD EVEYWHERE, which was not cleaned up until late that afternoon. How disgusting! After all that I read in a review earlier about the Damage Deposit that is not found out until arrival. This happened to us also. Even after I talked to a lady 3 times before I even left to go down there. She assured me all three times that ther was no deposit. The only good thing about this place is the location is decent. « less

- The condo was filthy and a huge hole was in the wall. Rpyal American was the booking agent. Don't ever deal with them again. There is a $300.00 damage deposit that you don't know about until you have already booked the place. Hidden fees are not spelled out on the internet such as the damage deposit, departure clean up fee of 55.00 and other fees plus the suite fees until after you have booked and been charged for the room. What started out as 298.00 ended up being over 600.00 for the filth and run down place. If you don't register directly with Sunbird, you will be screwed. The on site staff will not help and will tell you that they are not responsible. The only good thing was the view and the security. Otherwise, don't stay here and don't fool with Royal American! « less

- Just got back from vacation. When we checked in we were told we could have gotten a better rate by booking directly through the hotel instead of through Royal American Beach Getaways. Also discovered that the hotel would not exchange towel because we booked through someone else. So we had to wash our own towels throughout the week. The room was old and outdated. the sliding doors to the balcony were worn out and very hard to open and close, blinds were missing. The carpet was stained. The beds were worn out with a dip in the middle. Staff was unfriendly and not helpful. Overall a bad week. I will not go there again. « less
