Recent Reviews in Shell Island

Radisson Beachfront Hotel - Panama City Beach

10/10 Excellent

"The property is perfectly located. Walking distance to several restaurants. Yes it is a little dated but staff were very helpful and it was clean."

The Palm & Tide Beachfront Hotel

8/10 Good

"Location was great and close to the beach. Great balcony view. Room was a bit odd. No table or chairs. Beds very high. No shelves in shower for soap and shampoos. No towel bars. Shower doors odd. Had to reach inside shower to turn it on so you don’t want to be dressed to turn it on. No microwave which would have been nice. First hotel i have ever stayed at that didn’t have ice buckets and we have stayed at a lot of places over the years. Toilet wobbled and we worried it would fall over. It was a very nice stay and we enjoyed it but it needs some work to make it functional."

Beachside Resort Panama City Beach

8/10 Good

"The beach was amazing. Our view from the balcony during the sunset was spectacular. The room was huge and a full size refrigerator was perfect. The humidity and smell of the room needs improvement. Probably replacing the carpet to a healthier option will avoid the moldy smell."

Hampton Inn & Suites Panama City Beach-Beachfront

8/10 Good

"Property had a nice layout beach front but hotel is worn out."

TownePlace Suites by Marriott Panama City Beach Pier Park

10/10 Excellent

"Close to everything important"

Palmetto Beachfront Hotel, a By the Sea Resort

8/10 Good

"Room was clean. My only complaint was a lack of parking space on the property and across the street."

Holiday Inn Resort Panama City Beach by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Awesome Stay"

The Flamingo Hotel and Tower

10/10 Excellent

"This is our second time staying and it was fabulous!"

Bikini Beach Resort

8/10 Good

"It was a really nice room, with a beach view & near the pool and the bar (which wasn't open much as it was off-season). The wi-fi was in & out. They offer room service on request, and I only requested once as I only stayed a few days. The maintenance lady did a great job cleaning up my room. The parking situation isn't the best; it is $15 per night to park across the street. I don't feel that Expedia was clear about this, so not the motel's fault. It's an older property, but nice. I'd say between good and excellent is how I'd rate it. I would recommend it and I'll likely return again."
