This resort is very rundown. Elevators are broken. The elevators that due work are in very bad condition. Hot tubs do not work (water is not hot). I read somewhere there was a gym. No sign of one anywhere. Trash chutes were full of trash so couldn't use it. Many of the luggage carts are bent or pieces are unconnected. We are in building 2. 3 and 4 are supposedly "newer." There is not enough security here. Kids on porches with megaphones screaming at people on the beach. Definitely choose somewhere else to stay. read more

I recently booked trip to long beach resort in panama city and stayed with Kims Condos building #3 Unit 801. We got in the Condo and it was not cleaned well. There were crumbs on the floor in several rooms, the sheets on the beds seemed not to clean or changed. Just so people know i know people in this business, be aware that your bed sheets and linings are washed at the cleaning crews homes in there washers who god only knows how clean these people are or of your bedding is being washed with, if it even is. We weren't informed that two weeks prior to our arrival that the unit several floors below was engulfed in flames while under construction. Half the pool was closed due to the fire and debris that was still on bottom of pool, we weren't informed of this either. The room had sewer gas coming into it all week long probably due to the plumbing issues from the fire below . There was scaffolding set up outside our balcony due to fire, nice to look at all week. Im in the construction field, so last thing i want to deal with while on vacation is construction noise which come Monday morning there was. Kim from Kims condos basically called me a liar saying there wasn't construction going on at the time. Cmon kim! I know construction and what it sounds like! I brought up these issues with Kims condos and in a nice way was basically told tough shit! This company is nothing but a cash grab and could give two dead flies if your stay was pleasant or not. Is the owner of unit of 801 aware of this shitty business? If they are they are just as guilty of poor business. Ive stayed all up and down these beaches from ft. Walton to Seaside. And always have had wonderful times. Ive also had great stay's at long beach through different company's. Unfortunately we didn't check out Kims Condo's reviews and see all the negative's that were there. Basically all the same complaints. Also i know folks at long beach resort, here in the next few months the whole place will be under construction getting a face lift. There has been meetings and most agree to shut down during construction, but not Kims Condo's she is planning on renting out the units not telling people anything! So just a heads up on that! My next move is to contact the owners of unit 801 about some sort of reimbursement for our Shitty stay at their unit. Kims Condo' s basically told us to go kick rocks. She is bad business for the owners as well as Long beach resort Panama city beach! . read more

Tower4 room 1004: Washer was moldy in the Inside around the rim. Only one elevator was working for the first two days. Can't find a dang cart anywhere... Big lagoon pool closes at 730pm due to lights not working which was a big bummer. Trash Shute did not work all week Condo was somewhat clean Beautiful view of the beach. This was our favorite part! Hangout bar: the person who took our order also put his hands in our food with no gloves and also ate the fries that were made for our order. The other cook put his gloves on and then rubbed his head. Completely grossed out. Beach chairs are way too close together!!!! Bummed they don't come with the reservations Dishwasher leaked a little. We had to put a towel under it and decided not to use it again Both bathrooms were not very clean. Guest bathtub was not clean at all. Guest bathroom door does not lock read more

Horrible customer service Arrived to a unit that was newly refurbished and beautifully decorated and updated. However upon dragging luggage and groceries upstairs to our unit, we discovered no hot water.Called southern vacation specialist and was told it would have to wait until am. After incisting someone come out or we be moved. The technician was sent. The customer service specialist was rude and uncaring initially. After technician arrived he informs us the unit needed a new hot water heater and he told the owner this last week. So basically the unit should not have been rented out. After speaking to customer service agent again at 1130 pm we were moved to a ran down unit that literally had not been updated in at least 20 yrs! Furniture was old and everything needed replacing. Tvs were old and small no more that 27 inches in the rooms and of course no way to stream Netflix. When asked about at least getting half if not all our money back. We was given a 50 dollar credit and nothing more. I spoke with several people while i was there to voice my concerns and was told there nothing more they could do. I will never rent from long beach resort again. The way it was handled was horrible and to be honest this experience ruined our whole trip!!! read more

Long Beach Resort - The water heater wasn't even working - Resorts Near Me - Panama City Beach, Florida

Great area. While we love our condo and the wonderful beach...it is nice and clean in the mornings at the pool. The pool restroom attendants do good work! Just some areas I noticed this week. I believe Resort management needs a little help? Seems security gates to beach don't latch (closures need adjusting). Safety note - the sand lane to beach is scalding !! (They could fix that) Pool: the Jets in main hot tub need repair(1 is strong) Pool tiles need scrubbing (nasty) . Chairs are moldy , some broken straps, looks like Vomit on some chairs? Had vomit on the main island for 2 days (saw them almost spray it in the water . Wasting water ( shower stays on pool section) the Foot wash at pool was not working- needs better nozzle. The Middle exit gate for code at tower 2 has stripped bare wires - maintenance or security hasn't seen this? someone WILL get shocked) . I pulled wire in some so it's not hanging down so bad. Same Cigarette butts on stairwell all week (not sure when those are cleaned) Can't see numbers in elevators (worn down). The guest bellman carts are flimsy , loose and and quite a few of the tires don't work well on some. Need some help if you are letting your guests and owners use them? As a enjoyment to all...May want to have owners/renters be reminded to "leave nothing behind" PCB ordinance (too many broken tents and frames littered the resort area all week! ) I'd think taking ownership would be in the resorts interest? Maybe simply asking the rental chair company to assist in moving the broken / damaged ones to trash areas as they have vehicles to do so?.... They are an extension of the resort amenities since they manage the chair areas? Quite a few walkway lights on floors are strobing and need repair? read more

Building 4. Condo 801. The absolute nicest condo we have ever rented. Top notch finishes. From the granite kitchen countertops to the unique stones and tiles in each bedrooms walk in shower, this condo is luxury. We cook, so having a kitchen with every thing imaginable needed to cook is a dream. Super clean. Gorgeous furniture. Beds slept well. It's pricy but worth every single dime. Do yourself a favor and look this one up. We've set the bar high with this place and won't be able to stay anywhere else in PCB. read more

This was our first time in Panama City, FL (3/26/17) .... The view from the balcony was AMAZING!!! The condo was ok. The kitchen was nice but the furniture was outdated. The patio furniture was worn & torn. The resort itself was nice. The location was GREAT but I don't think it's much diversity in those parts because our family got a lot of looks and security stayed eyeballing us which I didn't appreciate, at all! God forbid we left the condo without our armbands! Also, I wasn't informed about the fee to sit on the beach chairs at the beach ... But was then told our room didn't come with beach chairs anyway. REALLY!? Location of the condom was GREAT! There was a Walmart in walking distance. All kinds of restaurants and bars as well as a number of souvenir shops. I knew going in we would have to pay a $105 cleanup fee but when I arrived I had to pay $174 up front. Something about damages?! REALLY? I assumed this would be returned upon departure but it wasn't! Then before leaving there was "chores" we had to do (i.e., load the dishwasher, take all the linen off the beds, etc.) ... So what was the cleaning fee for? read more

Absolutely terrible all week. The door lock battery went dead and it took 45 minutes to get someone to let us in the room. We saw at least 5 roaches in our room. The washer leaked and we had to soak up water with paper towels in the laundry room and kitchen. One working elevator for the entire tower (the other one was broke the entire 7 days we were there). The chairs on the balcony were absolutely filthy. read more

This place was amazing on so many levels. It was easy to coordinate my stay, payment was fair (less then $2000 for a 12 sleeper), and it was spacious. Every room had a sea side view. Also, since the condo is split into three buildings there was no waiting for the elevator or "mad dash" at check in and check out. They have a courtesy watchman at the gate and the staff was helpful. The beach and pools were clean and not crowded ever! That was amazing. I found myself going often due to the fact I didn't feel like I was jostling for best position. My only complaint was that they were doing construction on the floor below us and it was very loud! It happened daily for about 2-3 hours. Yikes! Would recommend and would stay here again! read more

This is the BEST resort we have ever stayed at in PCB! Elevators are fast! Parking was easy! Pools are nice! Our room was awesome, beautifully decorated, great layout, fully stocked and had a great price tag.

We have been staying at Long Beach Resort for almost 20 years through private owners on Airbnb and VRBO, but this stay with Resort Collection was unlike any stay we have had at Long Beach. It was TERRIBLE from the first moment we arrived. First of all, we received conflicting information on where to check in. We received a message through Hotels.com, where we booked the stay, saying to check in at Edgewater. When we arrived at Edgewater after our 5 hour drive from Georgia, we were told to go to Majestic to check in. After we grabbed keys and armbands and paid for an extra cleaning fee at Majestic, we made our way to Long Beach, where we found the room in absolute filth. During a pandemic no less. The toilet was completely vandalized with other people's feces and was not functional. We drove back to Majestic after we called multiple front desks who could not help us. We did not want to stay in that room because of the pandemic and the lack of sanitization, but we were told that there were no other available rooms at ANY other Resort Collection property. We were offered a refund, but there was nowhere else to go that was comparable. We had already driven 5 hours to get there. They called maintenance and housekeeping to go back to the room, which should have been done BEFORE our stay and not when we arrived. This was around 5:30. They told us they'd call when it was ready. No one ever called us, so we went back to Majestic to inquire. This was around 7:30. They told us it was ready, but no one informed us. We had to drive BACK to Majestic to get any information. They cleaned the toilet, but the room looked like they only changed the sheets between stays. In the middle of a pandemic. They did take the time to take all of the blankets off the beds. We were never informed that comforters were taken away and that we'd only be provided with sheets. We had to go buy a comforter, along with cleaning products. On top of that, the room looked like nothing had been replaced or updated since the 1980s. The lamp shades were broke. The furniture was stained, worn out and rusted. It was extremely disappointed. You should NOT be renting this room to people. During our entire stay, we had maintenance in and out of our room. Our air conditioning was broken. That wasn't fixed until the 3rd day. Our toilet was never fixed. They told us they were going to put an entirely new toilet in, but no one ever came back to do that. We spent the entire stay with a toilet that didn't flush. Our vacation was spent on the phone with the front desk and maintenance. It was not relaxing. It was not enjoyable. I cannot express enough how awful our stay was. Management and maintenance were very nice and apologetic the entire time, but no solutions ever came of it. read more

I love Long Beach Resort so much I rent out a 3 bed/3 bath condo. They keep the grounds clean and in good conditions. Over the last two years they have renewed all 4 buildings from top to bottom. The pools are always clean and security is tight. I always feel safe when I am there. Check out my VRBO listing -793516 When your reading the other reviews keep in mind it is up to each owner to replace windows, doors and everything inside the condo not the management on the property. read more

Imagine stepping back in time, to about 1997...no wifi, 19" old school fat televisions, and mattresses from the 80's. This was all within the specific unit we rented. Other than the lack of basic 2015 amenities it was fine within the condo the property was good. Hot tub was hot. Pool was warm. Everything was clean. Views amazing. read more

Not impressed at all. The room was overall was ok at most. The teal chair was a tad dirty for my liking, it looked brown with dirt. The patio doors were almost impossible to open. The looking unit was completely rusted in both doors. We were afraid to use the broken down patio furniture. It looked liked it might fall apart any second or it might cut you if you got too close. No one wants a tetanus shot on vacation! The tub was stained, just looked dirty and was not welcoming at all. The blinds fell down if you looked at them to hard. This was a known issue because the closet was full of others that had fell down before us. So much for a nice dark room because there were gaps everywhere due to that. I just can't believe that their standards are this low. I hate to think that every unit at Long Beach Resort looks like this but ours did! The front desk is going to "make a note!" **See photos read more

Stayed here on my first visit to Panama City Beach, FL on weekend of 5/19. Didn't know much about the area but found this place on Travelocity. It was really close to the beach which is what we wanted. Long Beach Resort is basically a resort that manages condos that are each owned by their own respective owners instead of being owned by "Long Beach Resort" So room by room, your experience may be different simply because of that alone. I'm sure some owners take care of their condos better than others. We stayed in Tower 1 on the 8th floor. Our room was a 1 bd condo. It had everything we needed. The decor is a bit outdated.(Circa 1980). It def wasn't the best place i've laid my head but it wasn't bad. My girlfriend didn't wanna use the comforter because she said it looked old. lol She had a point. The toilet broke simply because the chain that controls the flush was old as the universe. I opened the top of the toilet and it looked like the pits of hell itself. It hadn't been cleaned since forever. I had to reach my hand in there and reattach the chain. I washed my hand for like 3 years afterwards. With that being said, I think we overpaid for what we got. They need to definitely use that $149 cleaning fee that I had to pay to use! Also, there were no towels in our room when we arrived so we had to call front desk to get some. These are the little things that should be taken care of while getting our room ready for check-in. The saving grace for this place was the location. We were literally right on the beach. We could walk out back of the resort and set up right on the beach. The view from our room was great also. You can see nothing but blue waves and white sand. It is the only reason i didn't give this place one star. We actually had a good time on our trip because of the beach but this place could really step it up. We stayed in 800E in Tower 1. Also, they give you these wristbands at check-in and tell you that if you lose them, that they are $50 each. They say they use them to identify guests and make sure that strangers aren't on grounds. I'm here to say that these things are useless and i'm convinced they give them to you hoping that you lose them. My girlfriend and I actually made a game out of keeping up with our wristbands. I'll probably stay elsewhere when i come back to visit. read more

My husband and I have stayed here for a few years and we love it. We usually rent it from VRBO, so we see pictures before hand. The pool is always clean, it is right on the beach, and the location is wonderful. Right in the heart of almost everything. Walking distance to many restaurants! I like the fact that they have a guard at the front and that you cannot get in there without a pass and that the vehicles are always secure. Most of the condos come with beach chairs, so that is a plus! We are Harley riders and they are very biker friendly! They do not have a maid service, so do not expect to have your sheets turned down everyday or anything! We are staying here again in October for Bike Week and I cannot wait! read more

HORRIBLE HORRIBLE HORRIBLE !!! Booked this place for our honeymoon paid A LOT of money to not even get the room I looked at and booked. Put us in a cracker box on the end of the motel with a full size bed no counter space small TV barely any kitchen room smallest shower I've ever seen and nothing worked well! They were not friendly. Very poor service all around. No refunds for what they had did either. The pace is t kept well I could go on ! Just dont dont dont dont !!!!! Please dont the moment we lost to that place omgosh! read more

Tower 4 room 1005. Rented through resort collections. The parking pass and the wrist bands not in the room. Bath tub was filthy, entry door was very rusty, the fridge door was very rusty too, no starter supplies, sleeper sofa was horrible you could feel every bar on your back, tv in bedroom was an old style box tv, it was stuck on video 2 so no tv. The Tv in the living room was tiny. The biggest complaint was the entry door, you could see daylight through it, no weather strip and we were there during Tropical Storm Fred! Water was pouring in through the door and the wind whistling through the crack was scary. Called the front desk to tell them water was pouring in and their answer to that was everybody has gone home! So too bad for us. The toilet ran every 5 seconds, there was carpet? Who puts carpet in a condo on the beach??! I have a video of the entry door in the storm but can't put it on here. read more

Second year in a row here. First year we were very lucky! Great room, great price, free upgrade. Second year, even cheaper via Groupon. Little outdated but we still loved it. Great view on 10th floor. Clean!! We would come back. Fantastic beach area, not overcrowded. Terrible bar, save your money. read more

My wife and I were looking for a place to stay for one night at the beach to celebrate our anniversary. We figured it would be easy to find a nice condo in October. To our surprise many of the condos we checked into had a cleaning fee as much as the room. After many stops, we found Long Beach. They allowed us to check in early and check out late without a fee! The really sweet girl behind the desk was very helpful. She allowed us to pick our room and we were very pleased with no ridiculous cleaning fee! Great pool with view of beach. Pretty nice room. Great customer service read more

I was pleasantly surprised by how nice our condo was! It was modern and clean. Large tvs. The pools were clean. We were in Tower 4.

Long Beach Resort is about as good as it gets in Panama City Beach if you are looking for a semi-private beach with a nice pool that is centrally located. Even during peak season this place never feels to crowded. We have been coming to Long Beach since 1998 and always stay here. What we like most is the size of the condos (we stay in a two bedroom condo on the second floor--tower 3 room 203) and the floor plan. The living area and both bedrooms are facing the Gulf with wall-to-wall and ceiling-to-floor tinted glass. We stay in the same unit because every year the furniture and television is up graded to the latest and greatest so it fells clean and new. The condo is large enough for my fiance and I or a small family to stay for two weeks like we do. The only thing that is an inconvenience is coming in after hours and checking in at the Majestic a block away but check-in during normal business hours can happen at the on-site office I am told. The sunsets and sunrises are incredible. The sugary white sand and turquoise water are why we come to PCB year after year. read more

Long Beach Resort - View from our condo at Long Beach Resort (Tower 3. Room 203). The best view and ability to listen to the waves. - Resorts Near Me - Panama City Beach, Florida

This property could be a great place with fantastic views BUT it is a maintenance nightmare. The salt air and lack of money has taken its toll. Among other things lots of doors and windows that should have been replaced years ago. In a building this size you.are at the mercy of the financial circumstances of all the other owners. Clearly there is no money for upkeep and repairs. There is no way I would consider staying there except during off season. Seasonal traffic is a serious problem. read more

My family and I visit Panama City Beach 2-3 times a year. This Fourth of July holiday, we stayed at Long Beach Resort and we will never stay anywhere else. We arrived early at 10am to check in. Check in isn't until 4pm however, they said they would call when our room was ready. We received a call at 12:15pm that our room was ready. This spoke volumes to us because most places say they will call but get too busy and forget. The front desk ladies were so kind and very accommodating as were the members of security at the gated entrance. When we arrived in our room (we chose and efficiency because it was just my husband and I -early 30's- and our 2 year old daughter), our room was very large to be an efficiency with a king size bed and extremely well kept. The room, dining area and kitchenette was spacious; not crowded at all. There was a full dresser, two large night stands and a large closet. Plenty of space for us to unpack for a week. The bathroom was exceptionally large with a stand up, glass enclosed shower, plenty of counter space and stacked washing machine and dryer is a separate closet. There are four different towers to stay in and each with their own large swimming pools and hot tubs. There is an even larger ooole between towers two and three that has a large bar called The Hangout that serves both drinks and food. Each tower is located steps from the beach. The elevators are very fast and there are several luggage carts available in each tower. You can also unload your car under a coverd entrance at each tower. There are drink and snack machines at the elevators. We will be back for another week in September, staying in a one bedroom this time. We will never stay anywhere else and are strongly considering purchasing a condo of our own. read more

Surprise cleaning charge of $140.72 after I returned home. Email reservation confirmation nor front desk mentioned additional charge. When they were called and questioned they said all get charged that same amount for a cleaning charge. Room was very outdated. Both tvs would not work. One had to be replaced. Sliding door would not lock. No wifi in room. I will never stay again at this place and will never recommend!! read more

Check in was a disaster and the worst part was when I finally got up to our condo (about 1/2 mile from where I had to check in at) my key didn't work and I had to go BACK to the other resort to get it fixed! The elevator and lobby smelled like urine they tried to clean up with too much bleach, there were no extra pillows for the pull out couch and the blanket in the closet had dry, white, crusty stains on it! Needless to say, we didn't use it. The king bed in the bedroom was horribly uncomfortable and there were only 2 very flat pillows for sleeping and 5 decorative pillows! The Tv in the living room wouldn't change channels so on the cold rainy days everyone watched Netflix on their phones. Only 3 bath towels when the reservation was for 4 people. Also there was lots of black, curly hair in the tub and around the sinks when we arrived. The cleaning fee was ridiculous considering it wasn't cleaned very well for us. The view was really nice from the balcony, but that's not enough to ever go back. I didn't even stay there the last night of our vacation! We went and stayed with friends who had a comfortable extra room! It was that bad to me... read more

My family and I have stayed at Long Beach Resort for many years now (at least 8-10 I believe). We just left last week and had 2 units - a 3 bedroom and a 2 bedroom. Though the beach views are unbeatable, with all rooms boasting floor to ceiling windows with the most spacious bedrooms you will find anywhere at the beach, with large bathrooms too. However, the rest of the unit needs some love and attention. In both units we had issues with plumbing, doors that would not close, items being in general disrepair, etc... The smell on the ground floor from the elevators to the beach is almost unbearable. The breezeway carries the trash smell and it hits you when you walk through the door. Though we have enjoyed many years here, we all agree it is time to move on. Not a bad place to stay if space and beach views are your priority. As for me and my family, we will move on to other beaches in general. read more
