Hotels near Shell Island, Panama City Beach

We LOVE the Driftwood! It’s an easy walk to the Margaritaville *****, always clean and friendly front desk. Only issue was the cleaning staff (which we have never had an issue with) was a little over top on trying to get our rooms cleaned on check out day and ruined our last couple of hours visit with our children and grandchild. I can appreciate your wanting to get the job done but not at the expense of kicking the customer out of their rooms.

Very nice hotel. Nice breakfast. 5 stars. 1 minute walk to beach.

Great hotel in a great location, staff was very friendly and helpful. Clean enough for me to stay in because I'm very picky about where I lay my head. Great very of the beach. I give it a 8/10

Very clean unit. Spacious and fantastic view of the beach Check in was easy and staff was very friendly. Only comment I would make is the elevator area needs upgrade. Understandably, it's difficult to keep clean and dry because of the beach but a bright fresh coat of paint and cleaning the inside of the elevator walls and floor will be good. I was surprised though that none if the beach hotels have lifeguards on the beach. Overall. Excellent resort and unit. I look forward to visiting again .

We booked the Junior suite with full kitchen.   Great view of the beach.  Comfortable bed. Coffee available in lobby 24/7.   Things to love…walk right out to the beach, gas bbqs and outside tables. Two spas, large pool, easy walk to Winn Dixie, Whiskeys, Muy Wayne Os and other restaurants and stores.   Things that could be improved: Full size coffee pot is great if you are staying more than a few nights— no filters provided, given they say they can’t provide filters a Keurig would be a better choice.  The cookware is cheap everything sticks to it.  No scissors or basic first aid.   The room is ready for upgrades:  something used to be mounted to the dresser and there are several holes that make it look trashy, no anti-slip or rail in shower, no bathroom fan, bathroom door sticks, pillows are uncomfortable.

I love the king suite I had it's huge and very lovely I will book with this hotel again

Laundry machines were all broken except for one of 5 washers. 4 dryers all broken and clearly they are not buying new ones. They don’t clean daily or take out trash so it piles up in your room unless you happen to see them near your room, then they are very helpful. The people working are all very nice. They just need better owners and management. They want to do better. Beds were very comfortable. Big suite rooms.

What a location! Absolute beach frontage - complete with a balcony overlooking the beach with the stunning emerald water as the back drop. The room has everything we require, and was the most up-to-date room that I’ve stayed in in this price range. I would definitely stay there again, and I’d also recommend it to others.

This is my favorite hotel especially during the summer time because when u get a beach view room, you get to see everything around you that beautiful

Our first time using Trip.com Great experience- hotel was super clean, exactly as described and would stay again.
