Room smelled moldy and the bed could have been better but it was okay for our one day stay. We liked that it was on the beach, it had swinging chairs and a little tiki bar over looking the beach. The staff was nice.

The resort is undergoing renovations and things are a bit messy but the staff here is better than great. I went to a nicer place that was more money and wound up coming back here because to me the staff is the most important part of your trip.
Came to PCB for an impromptu bowling tourney and stayed here since it was in close proximity to the bowling center. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. The room was adorable and was assigned on the first floor, which was fine because the back door gave us direct access to the beach! The beds were comfortable, the water pressure was perfect and had no plumbing issues at all. Sure there was a few stains here and there around the room and bathroom, but its ON THE BEACH! Lots of walkable places to see and do, with an abundance of restaurants near by. We came here because of the price point, but since we were impressed with all we got at this price, we'll be back again soon!
Staff was great, room very clean. Incredible location. Door key didn't work 100%, took 6-8 tries sometimes. Limited parking, available across street. Hotel is dated, but not an issue for us. 2 bedroom unit, the 2nd room is just bed and dresser.
We went during the off season the bar was closed but I love the swings around the bar the rooms were clean and I would stay there again. Not as upscale as we were accustomed to but for the price we had no complaints!
Easy access to the beach. The balcony is partitioned off which provides a sense of privacy while sitting out back looking at the waves. The view was fantastic. The room itself was serviceable and clean..no real issues although there was a faint smell of smoke upon arriving. The price, balcony view and access to the water easily made up for any shortcomings and overall it was a great experience!
The staff, view and access to the beach was amazing. The room was a bit dated though and parking was a pain but we knew that before booking from reviews. There is a parking lot across the street and they do allow you to unload/load in front of the hotel so thats nice.
Didn't use the laundry or the Bar, the room appeared it hadn't been rented in awhile, the tub had shampoo and soap from the dispensers running down back of tub, needed paint in kitchen, took forever to get hot water in the kitchen sink, but we love The Bikini Beach Resort and will stay there again next year, Nick is the best...
