Our favorite place to stay on Pensacola Beach

by Gregpirch

If you like a quiet peacful resort with (almost) all the amenities then this is a great place. The beach area is great. The water park area is great. The staff is great. The pool is great. The rooms are wonderful.
Note: Each room/condo is privately owned so they vary in furnishings and up-keep. We typically get online and view the available condos and choose one that fits our desire.

If it weren't for the natural beauty of this spot.....

We'd be going elsewhere. We've stayed here many times over the past 12 years, but this time it just felt a little "cheap". The decor in our unit was average this time. There was a major mishap with housekeeping and they did make it good, so I was pleased about that. We had two days of beach set up and they tried to bill us for one of them. We'll try it again just b/c we love this spot, but note to property management company - don't let the quality slip, please and thank you.
