this was our first family trip to Panama City Beach, and definitely Osprey on the Gulf is pretty amazing!! the location is unbeatable, just a few minutes to Pier Park and grocery stores, but the most incredible part is the view from the room pretty stunning 😍. the staff all of them super friendly. the cleanliness in our room was spotless, and the room with full kitchen is pretty good, especially if you have kids. definitely, Osprey on the Gulf is a comeback.

Disliked: Amenities
Drove down to stay for one night before our condo check in for the next week. Did not like that when I came back to ask about trying to get in a little earlier after driving for 13 hours and watching over a dozen vehicles leave and cleaning staff in and out of several rooms I was rudely told they have my number and they will call me if a room becomes available but that check in isn’t until 4. First employee I talked to early in the am gentleman was pleasant sand told me to check back, the second 2 women at front desk had unnecessary attitude and at the worst possible time having given all night. I had 2 other family members arrive in the same time frame and both were allowed to get in earlier than stated time with no problems. This would have been the extra step one motel could take to keep people returning but I can say I understand why the reviews I went back and read say no refund is ever offered. As far as the room goes clean enough, but a bit odd that the kitchenette nor the actual room did not have a trash can, only the tiny one in the bathroom. Can say that I will probably never be back here and after the way we were treated would never recommend this place to anyone, to many other way better options to put up with this nonsense. Live and learn I suppose and I learned a valuable lesson with this one. Do better because these positive reviews are going to fall quickly to the negative ones.

Staff was friendly and maid service was great. Family oriented. Conveniently located near shopping. Walmart is only 3 blocks away. The only issue I had was parking. You have to park across the street unless you get fortunate and find a spot.

Great location

Nice, clean room but small. Nice balcony with a beachfront view, round table and four chairs. Good hotdogs at the Tiki Bar. Swimming pools were small but adequate. Price was high but comparable to surrounding hotels. Close to beach shops and the Pier with tons of food and entertainment options.

My. Birthday weekend

My family enjoyed everything. From the Hot pools, Hot tubs, walking distance to the beach, amazing beach view, the tiki bar and food was delicious and cheap. I paid around 1200$ for a three night stay . which is very pricey . But the rooms not always expensive maybe because it was the weekend of Memorial Day weekend. Everything is walking distance and señorfrogs was the best place to eat and party and vibes . Etc. great place to have fun
