Over priced garbage with Carla's name.
Michelle H.

Service sucked. Signs are there for looks I guess? We shopped on the buy 2 get 1 free rack for hats, and also a bogo free t-shirt rack. But when we got to the check out, Carla tells us that the sale isn't on these things. We don't mind paying the full over inflated prices, but the signage literally sitting on top of these racks says they're on sale! She kept refusing to acknowledge what's right in front of her face. This is a HORRIBLE place to buy anything. Even in their off season, with clearly marked items. Just don't bother. Walmart is right down the road.

I am not exactly sure what I did while I was browsing through the store but I came up with my five items and the cashier, an interesting looking woman with blonde hair stared at me and I stared back at her as I put my purchases Down... No greeting whatsoever... So I said OK I'll do it "hello"... The response was a grunt "hi" ....... she rang me up and grunted something else like "cash or credit" to which I said "pardon me"... To which she responded " cash or credit...I guess I must've rubbed you the wrong way... ". I was like "well I'm fine it seems to me that you have the problem"... she asked me to run my CC through again and I decided that I was not spending my money in this business... I work very hard for it and I certainly won't give it away to anyone who would employ an individual of that caliber...

so cute!!

Lots of cute stuff! Some of the employees were kinda rude and didn't say hello or anything. The bikinis are adorable and they have lots of PCB stuff. The hermit crabs are cool. There are some inappropriate items. Overall it was nice!

This is tourist junk heaven and you will love it. Miles of souvenirs with Panama City Beach on them. Tee-shirts, shot-glasses, key-chains, blah, blah, blah.... just go. You know you need to take a box of this junk home to give friends and family. Forget all the rest of the tourist traps and give in to the biggest and the best.

The WORST Customer Service Ever!!

PCB R. Jackson Blvd & Front Beach Rd--Worst customer service that I have ever experienced!!!! My daughter was here visiting us in PCB & purchased several items. She got home (3.5 hours away) & realized there was several tiny holes where the price tag had been placed & they left the sensor attached. You only have 7 days to exchange with the receipt so she paid $6 to mail the shirt back to me. I took it in on the 6th day after the purchase & they were so hateful & RUDE. They actually accused my daughter of putting the tiny holes in the shirt even though I found another shirt on the shelf with the same type tiny holes where the price tag gun had punctured through the material. They displayed such poor customer service that I stated that we would not come back to shop because we were treated so horrible. She replied, "We don't care because plenty of other people visit PCB & they will shop here!" Bottom line.... they do not care about the customers!! Sad that anyone be treated this way. Either this lady needs so corporate training or she needs to be fired!

Terrible quality

Tons of options but a little expensive for the items there selling. The turtle key magnets were cool.

Generic beach products, prices are higher than some other places. No restroom for customers, some employees are a little rude.

I bought a shirt and got a size bigger to go home and wash it to wear it and it shrunk and didn't…read morefit so I took it back and the customer service was bad didn't even try to help and wouldn't refund. and $22 for a cotton shirt is crazy. I don't even wanna leave a 1 star review id leave a 0.

While on vacation in Panama City Beach, we were looking for a place to buy a couple of tee shirts…read more We stopped at the Sunsations and found two we liked. We liked them so well we went back the next day and bought two more and a hoodie. The hoodie was marked XL but it clearly was not even close to being the size marked. In the very brief time we had it, a few dog hairs got on it. I brushed almost all of them off and there were a very few left, almost invisible. When I tried to exchange the hoodie for one the correct size, I was informed by the store manager that the item was not "re-salable" and they would neither exchange it or give a refund, even though the shirt was definitely not the size advertised. The manager was rude and did not make any effort to satisfy me as the customer. Anyone who has worked in customer service knows that this is NOT the way you treat people, especially when they have already purchased $100 worth of merchandise from you. DO NOT waste your time and money at any Sunsations store. There are plenty of other merchandisers who will do whatever it takes to satisfy the customer. Even though I love the tee shirts we bought there, I will never set foot in this store again. They clearly have NO idea what customer service is.

As a woman about to turn 50, but still feeling youthful and sassy, I struggle with most swimsuits…read moreon the market today. It wasn't until my mother-in-law and I visited Christina D Swim & Resort that I realized finding the perfect suit doesn't have to be a struggle or embarrassing. Christina has a natural way of working with clients that makes this process such a positive and empowering one. She fit me perfectly and was truthful and helpful the whole process long. Her selection is top notch and beautiful. Most tops are sized according to bra size, which is so refreshing. I found not one, but two perfectly fitting suits that make me feel confident, beautiful and ready for any beach day or boat outing. Please don't wait, run to her shop and support this amazing, local shop owner! I wish 10 stars was an option!

Shopping for bathing suits is normally such a demoralizing experience for me. I become keenly aware…read morethat my body is not the same as it used to be. It had been years since I had been swimsuit shopping for the above reasons. Then I put on my old suits and feel worse because they don't fit the same. Alas, I found Christina and it all changed. I have to note that I went to another shop in the area and they barely looked up to say hi. Christina asked a few questions and then had me trying on fits and sizes. I used to get caught up in sizes but that is a huge mistake with women's clothes. I walked out with a wonderful melange of swimsuits, that will make me not have to shop for a few years. The level of customer service is outstanding. Shopping with someone that knows the styles and fits and how a bathing suit should fit makes all the difference in the world. I thank her from the bottom of my heart for making this experience a good one. In a few years when it's time for new suits, I will come back just to see her. No joke.

Ron Jon Surf Shop is an OG of Pier Park and lines the Front Beach Road portion of the massive…read moreshopping complex. I have popped in and out of Ron Jon's many times over the years and walked out with solid apparel on numerous occasions. The store is fairly large, well kept, organized, clean and easy to navigate with sections clearly defined. In addition to a wide variety of apparel consisting of all the well known beach/outdoor brands, they have a plethora of Ron Jon specific items from shorts, shirts, hats and more. Additionally, as expected, they have a corner of the store dedicated to all things surfing and skateboarding. This area offers a solid selection of pre-fab boards along with skim boards and boogie boards. And of course all the accessories that go along with it. Prices are fair and surprisingly so given the name brand and location in Pier Park. The store offers a great photo op with surfboards at their front entrance, but if you are already in Pier Park, you can access the store via a back entrance as well. Staff are always plentiful, helpful and friendly. Overall, Ron Jon is a solid spot and always a cool place to wander through when roaming around Pier Park.

Walk in and smell the Sex Wax!…read more Always a great selection of RJ surf gear and anything else you might need to get your waves on at the beach. Great selection of merchandise. Service is always with a smile! This is a lovely location in PCB. Definitely worth the drive to check this one out!
