We had a wonderful time, the beach is right out the door. Staff was great and new management is making improvements and it's a work in progress. The rooms need shelves, lighting, mirrors and a place for luggage but, this would not stop us from returning for another round. more

We were hesitant due to prior reviews yet we gave it a chance and were extremely thrilled with our service, our room, and our overall stay. The motel was small and very family oriented. This motel has an amazing view of the ocean then you walk off of the balcony and you are on the beach. The room was small... more

My son called from Kuwait and was his on his way home from the war and so i had less than a week to book a stay and look for a place. I got in touch with this place, and Lisa has been very good to us. She was able to let us book that short notice, with SPRING break... more

Don't be fooled by their website. It's right on the beach, but the rooms are really bad: shabby, badly arranged furniture, poor lighting, no bathroom fan or outlet, no dresser to store clothes. During a three-day, two-night stay, no clean towels, no ice, and trash not emptied. See my photos for the 8-10" space to squeeze into the bathroom and... more

My wife and I had a very relaxing and enjoyable stay at Buena Vista Motel in Mexico Beach,Fla. We were made to feel very welcome . The management was very friendly and being a Pet Friendly motel allowed us to take our dog with us on vacation. We enjoyed our stay very much, and plan on a return trip. more

Great stay!
