This property was beautiful and our ocean front rom was large and a balcony. The bathroom had a large shower area. The food was outstanding at the restaurant and the facility accommodated us with free and accessible parking. I would recommend this beautiful hotel to anyone wanting a great vacation. You can also walk to the warf for shopping and more restaurants or the bell hop will take you by golf cart.

The Pensacola Beach Resort is now my favorite place to stay. The resort feel was wonderful. The beach, pool, and tiki bar were so nice. The room and staff were great. It felt secluded even though it was just down the street from all the amenities of Pensacola Beach. We’ll definitely be back!

Great stay! Staff was friendly and knowledgeable. Hotel was clean and well maintained. We had a balcony with the gulf view and it was perfect! The pool area was very nice and getting down on the beach was convenient. I should have read/researched better regarding breakfast not being included but that’s the only “complaint,” the food was still delicious. I will definitely stay here again.

Phenomenal stay

We loved everything about this resort. From the time we exited our Uber and were greeted so nicely by Scotty, the golf cart, driver until our departure. The girls at the Front Desk were so friendly! Our room was absolutely beautiful! From the decor, the wraparound balcony (we were in a corner suite). The view, the comfortable bed, the hot, powerful shower, just everything was superb. We went to lunch at the restaurant in the hotel, the wild rose… Phenomenal service, and food. We gave it a 10… We had breakfast there the following morning, which again the service and the food was amazing. The pool area is beautiful. We will definitely be returning and it was also in a great location!!
