Awesome lodge nestled between the high rises of PCB. The Driftwood is a little throwback to times when people were the priority. Well-maintained facilities with exceptional staff. My family will be back. Love the fact that they do not allow spring breakers to rent.

Although an older hotel, it provides a good service for its location and price. It offers many amenities (kids’ pool, regular pool, on the beach, tiki bar,, splash pad… A drawback for non smokers is that outside smoking is allowed, so if you are downwind from a smoker on your balcony, you get all their smoke. Other than that, a good place to be on the beach.

We stayed at the Driftwood for the first time & will likely stay there again. The place is very clean & everyone was so friendly. The room was even better than expected. Getting out of the parking lot and late night street noise can be a problem, but that's only because of the proximity to Pier Park and I imagine it's not as bad during other times of the year.

This resort had all the amenities we needed for our last minute 1 night stay. Everything you need is within a comfortable walking distance even with kids. This place is smaller and older, but it’s one of the cleanest most friendly places we have visited. The staff was very helpful to accommodate our needs. Our room wasn’t guaranteed until 4pm but we arrived early and 1 room had become available so we were able to get in earlier. Thank you for a great stay, we’ll return when in the area!

Managed from the nicer accommodations next door, our building was quite old. The ice bag I paid $3 for was old and frozen solid. They have a great room key concept and are adult and family friendly, with great beach accessibility. Just don’t expect a Holiday Inn Express.

The kid’s pool was perfect for smaller kids! They had a separate pool for older kids and adults so the little ones never had to compete with the big kids for pool time or toys. We stayed on the lower level nearest to the beach and it was perfect. We were able to walk straight out to the beach each morning from our room. We enjoyed our stay very much!

Hotel is walkable to pier park , Walmart, and great restaurants

It’s a smaller hotel so even if you wake up late you’ll still be able to get a nice spot on the beach. There’s a kiddie pool that goes to 3’, another pool that goes to 8’ and another 8’ pool closer to registration that has a 4 person hot tub. There’s and little kiddie sprinkler area, shuffle board, giant dominos, giant jenga and multiple ring toss areas and a little tiki bar that has sodas, adult beverages and snacks. Staff is very accommodating. Towels are always an issue for our family as they get wet, sandy, etc and it seems like there’s never enough but not here! We had plenty of towels and they even have extra at the pool. And PLENTY of chairs and umbrellas at the pool areas and sun bathing deck. They do have beach chairs/umbrellas available for a fee. Not sure of price as we brought our own. We’ll stay here again.

We only stayed one night so I can't really tell you much about the property. Check in was fine and staff was friendly. Our room location was at a very low level which wasn't the best but it was very clean.

Do not book this hotel and then try to change the date for any reason at all. The owners will keep your money! You are not allowed to move, change or cancel the booking! BUYER BEWARE! You will be charged the first two nights of your stay MANDATORY which is NON-REFUNDABLE!
I booked through Expedia.com READ YOUR CONTRACT and DON'T buy the insurance, it's a scam. It's only good for 24 hours.

The rooms were a bit dated but everything was super clean, well cared for and had everything you needed. The beds were comfortable. The staff was friendly. The other guests were friendly. The pools were great. The access to the beach was easy. The food and drinks at the Tiki bar were good. We discovered upon leaving that the Walmart and Target were 5 minutes away by car. I would highly recommend The Driftwood. If we ever go back to PC Beach we will definitely stay there.

We loved everuthing about our stay here. The staff were fanominal and the property though older was clean and updated. We plan to stay here again the next time we come to Panama City Beach for a longer stay. The only thing is I wish the beds were queen size but that was such a minor detail.

Aug 2022 first time at this property. Staff was friendly and very helpful. I have stayed in many beach front properties but this was the CLEANEST ever. Beach was beautiful and chair rentals available. Already booked for next year. KMC TX

I love this place. So family and people friendly. Great views and accommodations. My only suggestion is mattress updates on the double beds, we haves used King and it was fine. Doubles not as good. I added a cheap egg crate pad and it helped. Will not deter me from staying again. Staff awesome. Just a really homey place to stay.
