Sterling beach resort in Panama City Beach FL. is a beautiful condominium resort. The location is outstanding. Far enough away from the "Spring Breakers", but directly on the beach. The pool, hottub, grilling area and grounds are beautiful. The walk to the beach is short and well kept. The workout room is small, but efficient. The staff at the front desk was helpful at all times. The only negative I can give is do not stay in condo #301 until it is painted and the furniture is cleaned. There are numerous other condo's on this property that are in spectacular condition.

Stayed here off season for a steal. This was the first time I stayed at a place where I had to do all the cleaning. If I had known that I would have brought my hoover vacuum and bissel steam cleaner, the carpet was so dirty it was almost unbearable to look at, I wanted to clean it so bad. The front office must not have a supervisor that ever checks on them since the NEVER came to work on time. They have a free dvd rental machine in the office but the receptionist never came to work till ten and were suppose to be open by nine. Make sure you bring everything you need since they will not restock any items during your stay. They also have a lot furniture and displays in the room, not ideal if you have small children that constantly grab things. No 24 hour service so if your key card doesnt work after 5 your in trouble. Other than that I wouldnt pay 350 in the spring summer season if I have to do all the maint around the place.

Pros

Great Pool with bubbles, and Spa.

Great fitness facility

Great beach view

Great location.

Absolutely the best place to be in Panama City Beach, FL! Gorgeous grounds & pool, units are much biggest units on the beach, most are beautifully decorated - each unit is independantly owned so just depends on what style the owners have & if they keep it updated. Great large kitchen area, big pantry & bar. BEST part is the view!! Wall of glass that will have you sold the minute you walk in. HUGE balconies overlooking the lagoon shaped pool - you will LOVE this place!!

A nice enough place unless the wind blows. Then the deck railings set up a roar like a huge airplane landing right in your unit. I mean it's really ridiculous. I'm glad I don't own anything here or I'd be looking for someone to sue; I'm pretty sure full disclosure did not include "Hey, don't plan on sleeping when it's windy." The rental office acknowledges there is a problem but refuses any discussion of a refund for leaving early. In fairness, I spoke to two other renters; one was as bothered as I am, but another said "It's bad, but oh well." So whether you should stay here depends on how much discomfort you want for your money. We are here for the month; so far 5 out of 15 days have been horrible.
