Oceanfront room with view of ocean. Room was tastefully decorated and every possible need in the kitchen was provided. Lots of towels as Well as a washing machine and dryer were provided in our room. Only two operating elevators in middle at the time with two on ends which were not available due to maintenance. But being located on fourth floor made it easy to quickly take the stairs. Great property and I would recommend to anyone!!

Easy to communicate with. Answered all questions promptly. Besides just being a little outdated and worn, the accommodations and stay were great!!

Our feet were black from dirt on the floor. The elevator situation was also a pain. Otherwise it was a good place.

The property needs more elevators and the elevators need at least fans in them.

Our room was nice and I enjoyed our view. What I didn't like was the elevators were constantly broke down or would get stuck on a floor and not move, so I would have to walk 7 flights of stairs to our condo.

The elevators were always down and there were zero blankets in the rooms on any of the beds, only sheets.

We liked that our condo was on the beach. We liked the set up on the condo. The beaches and the pools were amazing. However- the condo was full of sand when we arrived, the back door wouldn’t lock. 3 lights didn’t work. The dishes were filthy so we had to wash everything first before we used it. The mirror in the kitchen was cracked and taped. The tv was scratched on the right side. The ice maker was broken. We paid a lot of money for our stay and the accommodations were not up to par. I called to tell them once we got there and told them. They said they could come and fix it- however we declined bc we had our valuables and didnt want strangers walking around and didn’t want to be disturbed by strangers in our condo on our vacation. It never should of been this way in the first place. When I tried to talk to them about it before we checked out again. They were rude and basically told me- too bad. You declined us to fix it when you were staying there. Very unacceptable. I tried to get some of my money back but they declined and didn’t care. If Expedia can help with getting some of money back - that would be great!

I didn't get the condo I had booked and was switched to another resort on the complete other end of the city. Right next to all this new construction so the sounds of hammers and what not all day was as relaxing as a room full of screeching babies. I could go on trust me cause it only got worse. I was so amazingly miserable I left a day early! NEVER AGAIN!

After what felt like Olympic-level research, we booked Summit Beach Resort by Panhandle Getaways in Panama City Beach for our honeymoon—7 nights after a 12-hour drive from North Texas. Check-in? No front desk—just a manager guy(?) handing us paperwork we’d already done and pointing toward the elevators. Outside, a giant “Free Margaritas” sign… attached to a strip club. Inside, scaffolding blocked the “view,” and the photos online felt like a different property entirely. We even had to sign a waiver not to touch the balcony railing—no furniture anyway. Trying to stay optimistic, we explored. Pools? Yes—packed. Hot tub? Tiny and indoors. Sauna? Hidden in bathroom stalls (hard pass). When we returned to the hot tub, it was already… enthusiastically occupied by another couple doing the dirty deed in public. At that point we didn’t feel comfortable, so we called Panhandle Getaways. The “no refund ever” policy was made very clear. Eventually, they moved us (for an upcharge). Slightly better, but still a flat bed, no sleep thanks to motorcycles all night, and overall just not what we expected. We left after 3 nights. Lesson learned: always check EVERYTHING and get local insight first. ⭐ 2/5 — customer service tried… eventually.

This review serves as a reminder to myself to never book a room through Summit again. First of all, I booked through Expedia and indicated that I had 4 adults and 2 kids. Nowhere in the reservation does it say only 5 people allowed per unit. Unit has a king size bed, bunk beds and a full pullout couch. Upon arrival, I was informed that only 5 wristbands are allowed per unit and to pay $100 extra for a wristband. I tried to argue but they would not budge. So beware if you have more than 5 people you will pay $100 per each extra wristband. Also, parking is $27 per vehicle per stay. This was mentioned in the original booking so I was ok with that. Beach was beautiful of course and was the main character of this trip. Our unit was outdated and had all kinds of water damage. The bathroom smelled of old urine. There is construction Nextdoor and they start bright and early at 7am. This was not our first stay at Summit but is our last. There are plenty other condos in much better conditions on the coast for about the same price. I’m disappointed in the lack of service on summit and Expedia part. They would not refund me $100 despite not mentioning it in the booking. Book at your own risk.

I didn’t like how rude the staff was and was very unhelpful. The room was still very dirty and the pots and pans were all greasy. It wasn’t a pleasant experience.
