Top WaterSound Beach Hotel Reviews

Hotel Effie Sandestin, Autograph Collection

8/10 Good

"My first concern was that the on off switch on the hairdryer would not work. I went to the desk three times to replace the hairdryer and they still didn’t work. The first two were burned around the edges and the third one I believe was new. They were a very cheap quality and difficult to use. I would suggest better hairdryers at such a beautiful high-end hotel. Since I’m allergic to dogs, I wanted to be sure I didn’t have a room with animals. When I began with allergic symptoms, I text the desk and the return text assured me the animals were restricted to the third and fourth floor. When I saw a dog entering an 8th floor elevator, I went to the desk and reported it , The girl behind the desk said a dog could be on any floor and there was no distinction and that animals would be in any room in the hotel and defended her position that all the rooms were cleaned. In my knowledge, I’ve been told that you can’t get animal dander out of a carpet. There was a contradiction to what I had originallyI been told. I don’t believe they were honest with me at check-in or in their text and that was disappointing. The same receptionist. did find my text and apologized and said it would be reported to the manager."

Radisson Beachfront Hotel - Panama City Beach

10/10 Excellent

"Stayed here for 3 nights with my young daughter and husband. It was pleasantly surprised by how great the location was and spacious the rooms were. Property is kept clean, the rooms were clean and located right on the beach. I have to say I slept well the beds seem to have been new and plush. The amenities need some up keep for example showers near pool need to be serviced button was broken and water pressure was off. Pool was nice and chairs seemed new. Pool definitely needs some TLC in terms of cleaniness (water), debris (in pool) and upkeep. Hot tub was very warm but the problem was it was not cleaned regularly tons of bugs and debris inside. Beach was amazing loved it and shore area was very clean and well kept. Overall experience was good and would recommend to friends."

Hyatt Place Sandestin at Grand Boulevard

10/10 Excellent

"Great place! While we did not use most of the amenities, they seemed like people enjoyed breakfast! While I thought it was right off the beach, as in unfamiliar with the area, but it wasn't far. I would stay again, unless I wanted to stay literally at the beach. I would recommend and would stay again."

The Flamingo Hotel and Tower

8/10 Good

"When I booked it. I thought i was in tower. Unpon arrival was placed across the street. Which was not what I booked. I did get a discount. Not complaints there. But our second day there it rained and unfortunately water came into room on back wall. Reported it to hotel. They moved us when a room came available. This is where the tower room came into play and balcony view. Much better stay and would stay again there. Much cleaner and better maintained. Bar area was really nice and good food to eat."
