The staff was awesome. The rooms were clean. The view was great! I would definitely stay here again. It was a little far from the main restaurants but it was worth being away from all the other tourists. It was a good experience. I almost stayed an extra night.

Decent room for a decent price. Good ocean views and beach access. Clean beach in a decent area. Clean and affordable. Not in the heart of things but a short drive from attractions. Dont miss the Sky Wheel!

My girlfriend and I were in our way home and needed a place to stay for the night. Dee at the front desk was so helpful and hooked us right up even though we were last minute. The rooms were clean and it was a great place to stay on our way home!

Greeted by Ferrell and then Jamie. They were pleasant and provided very good customer service. The housekeeping staff was nice when we passed them in the corridor. The hotel is very dated, not actually sure why they call it a resort, it's really just a basic motel with an AWESOME view. There were broken blinds and curtains. Comforter was soiled, it smelled old and like mildew. The outlets were loose, I had to place a chair against my charger in order to keep it in the outlet. The bed was uncomfortable and the toilet kept running. For the price they charged they really should consider some MAJOR upgrades.

We married on the beach there 15 years ago and have gone to this hotel every year except during COVID ever since. This was the only time we were treated poorly. When we checked in about 7:00 PM the room type I requested was not given to us. I informed the desk clerk and she said to cancel my reservation and go home. I found that to be offensive as I had explained that the room I paid for was close to the office and the pool and it is very painful for me to walk very far. I had paid for that same room type for 15 years and had no problem. She whispered and I asked several times for her to speak up as I couldn't hear her. Maybe so she wouldn't be audible on camera. We stayed there anyway as we couldn't lose our money and have no place to go but home. I normally don't complain about a lot of things but this stay took the cake. Next day the same desk clerk came to our balcony and in front of others told us that she was calling the Sherriff and having us arrested as my husband smoked a cigarette on the balcony. She said that she had already told us once which she hadn't. We hadn't even been there 24 hours. That rule wasn't on the paper I signed nor were there any signs. The hotel also no longer gives a copy of the paper you sign. The people below us were smoking marijuana and cigars and not a word was said to them. The hotel staff was walking around the property and hallways smoking cigarettes...not a word was said to them. I got very sick for a couple of days and we needed more toilet paper. Same desk clerk. Nope you can't get more toilet paper even though we stayed 9 days. My tip is bring your own toilet paper. Theirs is not great anyway. We asked a maid if we could get more trash bags. No you cannot get more trash bags. We asked at the same time another person asked. My tip get your own trash bags, so we did. I guess they are making many cutbacks, but the hospitality was lacking. The pool was dirty Sunday when we went there. It had a lot of sand and the bugs floating in it made it unbearable to swim in. After that the pool was cleaned so the rest of the days in the pool were okay. There were roaches and drain gnats in the room. We left the room cleaner than we found it. We will never go back.

The location and the staff were great. The room was ok, but I didn’t feel that it was worth the price. The AC unit dripped on the carpet and made it wet. One tv didn’t work and both doors had to be lifted a little to get the locks to latch. It was just ok, not what I’d call great. I wondered about the cleanliness since we found clothes left by previous guest in the dresser and toys under it. All in all I might stay there again but would feel better about it if the price were lower to match the quality.

The room was really clean. The pools were nice. The pool also has a chair lift. The outside needs to be updated. Easy beach access. The steps are steep. But they do have elevator access. It needs painting.

We have stayed at Beachside multiple times, and while it’s not the newest or most luxurious, it is great for our family or a girls getaway. The tower rooms are a bit nicer and newer. We’ve only had to call maintenance once in our 7 visits here. It was for an AC issue (in July!!), but they handled it promptly and replaced the unit within 2 hours. The beach is steps away and always less crowded than the rest of PCB. (We’ve been on Memorial Day, 4th of July, and Labor Day, and this is true for all of these holidays) Again, not the greatest or prettiest, but they always treat us right :)

This hotel needs a lot of work. Booked 5 rooms for my beach wedding. Some of us stayed 8 nights the others 5. The only thing that was perfect was the view . Rooms were dated our Son had roaches in his room. Another friend got there when they got to their room the door was open and the lock was broke. Both of them had to switch rooms, From Saturday to Wednesday the pool felt like ice cubes could not even get in it. Was told the heater was turned off May 1 and would not be turned back on . On Wednesday it was warmer. All the rooms smelled like mold I was sick from it and a couple others were too. Some personnel were very rude. This was such a disappointment for my wedding week . The pictures on website are older pictures they are not up to date . Needs painted and a lot of concrete work done. This could be a great place if some work was put into it. Also when we tried to complain was told there was no management there .
