With three outdoor pools and direct access to the beautiful beach, there’s no shortage of sunbathing spots at Long Beach Resort, a Panama City Beach condo resort that's within walking distance of restaurants, bars, and shops. The value resort has 85 privately owned condos that range from studios to three-bedroom units. All rooms have large balconies with pretty gulf views as well as living rooms and kitchens (except the smallest Efficiency units), though guests complain of dated furnishings and decor as well as cleanliness issues like sandy floors and beds. There’s an age requirement of 25 and older, and a cleaning fee is tacked onto the rental rate. Travelers might want to compare rates with Sunrise Beach Resort, a mid-range, beachfront condo complex with two outdoor pools.

Emerald Beach is one of Panama City's high-rise beach resorts. This condo property shares common spaces with the Wyndham, which is a bit unorthodox, but the pools are big with plenty of lounge space. Condo units have full kitchens, washer/dryers, and dishwashers, but decor can vary wildly as some units are privately owned. The upper floor Sky Bar is a unique feature in the area, offering nightlife including music performances, karaoke night, and football games on TV. While the resort has some strict rules -- like no coolers or drinks by the pool -- the beach is beautiful and condos offer big balconies with Gulf views.

Sunset Inn is a family-run value hotel located directly on the sandy beach in Panama City and within a short walk of restaurants and nightlife. There are two heated outdoor pools and a small wood deck for grilling. The 90 rooms are somewhat dated with tube-style TVs in some as well as outdated wallpaper and furnishings, but many rooms have full kitchens or kitchenettes as well as gulf-view balconies. Overall, it’s a good pick for the price and earns a lot of return guests. For something with more amenities, travelers might want to consider the nearby Summit Condominium Resort, which has a fitness center, tiki bar, tennis courts, and two pools.
