I stayed here for two nights in a king suite with a partial beach view, which was definitely more than partial! I had a full fridge and stove. The room was pretty big, very nice for a couple. The guy with the ponytail at the tiki bar by the pool was extremely nice. My best friend had a beautiful wedding... More

This resort is right on the beach. Only a short climb up and over the sand dunes brings you to the tranquil blue waters and white powdery beach of the Panhandle of Florida. We unfortunately were on the first floor, just off the lobby. No view except for the smaller pool & workers constantly walking by to go to the... More

My family stayed here March 9-10, 2013. Our room was nothing fancy, but the view of the beach was fantastic. The mini fridge in the room allowed us the save leftovers from my two year old son's meals and save us some money. Restaurant service was a bit slow for breakfast, but room service for breakfast was fast & hot.... More

I was a little leary of this place after reading the reviews on Trip Advisor. We stayed one night May 3, 2013, as it was less than a mile from our condo rental for the week, which opened on Saturday. The idea was to "rest" before actually starting our vacation. We stayed in B building gulf front, on the corner... More

My husband and I went here recently for our honeymoon and stayed 4/14 through 4/19. For someone expecting too much, don't stay here. This is a simple hotel, but coming from Oklahoma all the way to FWB, this is amazing. We loved our gulf view, the tiki bar was great, breakfast was delicious every morning, and the hot tub was...

This was right on the gulf with a beautiful view of gulf from our balcony. We stayed there five nights. The only bad thing was the elevator broke every day. We had to walk down seven flights of stairs numerous times. They did comp us one free drinks and a breakfast.

Rooms need new carpet. Bathrooms are very small. Rooms and hallways are dark. The pool areas are smaller than the photos make them look. Outdoor bar is tiny and in an awkward place. Hotel ok for one night stay but nothing longer.

We spent a week at this resort, and enjoyed it very much. The rooms are clean and well lit. The rooms are not large, but are certainly adequate. The bed was not terribly comfortable, but was okay. The pool is nice and there were always plenty of chairs and towels. The beach access is very convenient, and beach chair/umbrella is... More
