We had a great time at this resort, with new and clean rooms, a beautiful pool area, and plenty of fun activities for kids. The only downside was the breakfast wasn't included, which is pretty common, but overall, it was a fantastic stay with lovely amenities and a nice beach.

My stay at the hotel was quite enjoyable, with a peaceful atmosphere in November and great weather for enjoying the nice-sized pool and lazy river. The beach was just a few steps away, and I found several excellent dining options within walking distance. The hotel was clean, and the staff were friendly and efficient, although I did encounter a couple of minor issues that were quickly resolved. Overall, a value for money experience, especially with the room's beautiful view.

This resort truly has everything you could want! The heated pools and lazy river are amazing, especially for families, but it's also perfect for couples looking to unwind. The location is just steps from the beach, making it a beautiful getaway. However, the service at the Riptides tiki bar was disappointing, which left a bit of a sour note. Overall, it's still our favorite spot in Pensacola Beach.

I had a mostly enjoyable experience at the hotel with an amazing beach view and fun activities for the kids. The room itself, however, was quite outdated and not as clean as I had hoped, making it less than ideal. The dining options were decent, and the location was perfect for accessing the beach and nearby attractions.
