My husband and I have stayed here at Osprey two years while in Panama City. We love the view and the family feel of this place. We really enjoyed grilling out while having a view of the ocean one night and then second night we had brought food from home, cooked and had supper on our balcony with awesome view... More

My husband and I have stayed at the Osprey for three years in a row. It has always been comfortable, safe, and clean. There is plenty of parking, the staff is friendly, and the hotel accommodates families nicely. The best aspects of staying here are having access to both the Osprey’s and the Driftwood’s amenities. That means two clean pools,... More

I have stayed at many hotels in my day and was not expecting much from this place but what we got was a nightmare. We expected a family friendly hotel and all that really meant was a small popcorn machine in the lobby, some games over 20 years old with missing pieces and seriously casual atmosphere. When we got to... More

I am sorry you were disappointed in the Osprey. We pride ourselves on being a family friendly resort. It is true we offer popcorn in the lobby every evening but we also have daily and weekly activities for the whole family to enjoy. Each day we have children's activities. These include tug-o-war, sack races, big splash/little splash contest and other... More

This hotel was the most bang for our buck! Beautiful balcony facing ocean. Love small kitchen. The room is Plain room but clean. We Like separate sink from bath and toilet so two can get ready at once.

This hotel is Very Clean, family friendly, beautiful view on the beach with friendly staff. Snack/ drink bar is great. Nice full kitchens in all rooms. Movie nights w free popcorn. Nice heated pool and hot tub. We stayed during the end of spring break but this hotel seemed to not have any spring breakers. Quiet at night.

Maybe it was due to it being springbreak but the staff was not nearly as friendly as years past. They threw away a box of ours that had misc.supplies in it. When we asked the maid about this, she was very short about it and basically blew my wife off. At the end of our stay we inquired about a... More

The Osprey is a very family friendly and safe feeling hotel. We stayed during Spring Break week and it was not loud. It is a beautiful home owned hotel. The staff is friendly and they are easy on the pocket book as well.... great deals and very good to repeat customers. The Osprey is a winner in my book.
