My favorite part is the location it was perfect. I really enjoy being down on the quite side of town away from the crowed part of the city omg was it to busy in the city part the traffic and all.. I love having the room on the fourth floor in the middle right above the pool my sons love the pool is where they hangout the most.. But all rooms was beach front just perfect.. The rooms were great the only thing needed would be to let people know they might want to bring their own household stuff it’s not a kitchenette with everything.. I had a feeling to bring my own stuff and glad I did. I would say maybe add a few more things in each room.. We didn’t have a can opener and really needed one had to used a pocket knife. And for the oven there was no oven mitts or pot holders had to used a towel.. A broom and dust pan I really needed with two kids eating and crumbs and sand everywhere but didn’t have one wasn’t one there.. But other wise we loved our room that we stayed in. The beds and pillows were soft and comfortable. I would say if u can I wouldn’t get a room on the bottom floor I did notice that. The bottom floor had the most traffic across the pool side and on the front side where everyone has to walk by.. Always people walking by and just noisy.. But overall had a great trip for our spring break the last 5 day’s were perfect. I would recommend this place and we will be back this summer..

The room had a balcony and overlooked the beach which was the better part of the place.

Total misrepresentation of the property. It was a complete dump. The place was falling apart. They had drop ceiling and they were warped and falling in, parts of the roof were coming off. The parking was awful, the rooms smelled, they had bugs. The internet was shotty at best and we called daily about it and they just kept saying someone was coming out to fix and they never did. It would not have been a big deal but the weather was rainy almost the whole time we were there so this was out entertainment during those times. The staff was very friendly.

We had a pleasant stay although the overall condition of the place needed some attention. There is no doubt that a big reason for this is because of Hurricane Michael tearing up Panama City Fla. and the surrounding areas recently. I guess with all of the serious damage that needs/needed to be repaired, it left little time and resources for the little things like dripping faucets. As long as you don't sweat the small stuff, you should have a great time there. The staff was excellent, the place was clean, the views and the beach are outstanding. I'm certain that with a little more time to finish the recovery process Sugar Sands By The Sea will be top notch once again. If you are looking for that perfect place to stay in the Spring/Summer of 2019, you may be hard pressed to find lodging that isn't still in the recovery process.
