Swank new condos on a sugar white beach, minutes from Gulf State Park
One of the newer additions to the Orange Beach area, Escapes! to The Shores opened in 2008. The condominium resort fuses the conveniences of a hotel (front desk, on-site fitness center) with the luxuries of home (a kitchen or kitchenette in every unit, grills down by the beach). Guests choose from three room types -- one-bedroom studio, two-bedroom condo or three-bedroom condo -- and enjoy access to the on-site swimming pools (one inside, one out), whirlpool, sauna, steam room and beach. The resort sits on the Emerald Coast, steps from the Gulf.Highlights
- Beachfront property overlooking the Gulf of Mexico
- Two swimming pools and a whirlpool
- Sauna and steam room onsite, plus a state-of-the-art fitness center
Location

Pensacola is a 45-minute drive away, and various attractions lie within easy reach, including the National Museum of Naval Aviation (23 miles) and Fort Morgan (25 miles).Rooms
Escapes! to The Shores offers three types of units: one-bedroom studio, two-bedroom condominium and three-bedroom condominium. All feature modern comforts (granite countertops, flat-screen TVs) and the latter two come with spacious balconies overlooking the Gulf of Mexico.Features
Escapes! to The Shores has two swimming pools: one indoors and one out. Guests may also soak in the on-site whirlpool. Shiny new grills adorn the outdoor patio at the resort and are available for guest use. Escapes! to The Shores also boasts a state-of-the-art fitness center, plus a sauna and steam room.Transportation

Just book the Two Bedroom
The difference is not to be believed. You will not want to go ANYWHERE. We stayed here last trip and, to be different, booked another new hotel. We thought better of it, remembering the wonderful kitchen, and cancelled the other. Was not sorry. We cooked our own T-giving dinner and felt a world away from the rat-race. Peaceful.

Beautiful views
The room was enormous. Great views from the balcony of the Gulf. It would have been a perfect weekend get away if we would have had access to any of the amenities. The hot tub, sauna, steam room were all of limits because of maintenance, repairs. It smelled so bad we couldn't use the pool either! It would have been nice to have been told ahead about the closing since this was one of the main reasons we picked this place. Very disappointing.

Dining tip:
Short drive from hotel
There are some great dining options that don't break the bank nearby. Steamer restaurant at the marina was great and the prices were unbeatable. Duck diner near the wharf was a perfect breakfast spot, a little pricey but worth it.

Very satisfied customer!!!!
This was the top of the line condo. We will definately tell our friends and family about our stay and will definately come again. The room was very upscale and very clean and comfortable. This was one of the most relaxing vacations that my husband and I have been on and with the white sand beaches you can't get any better than this. LOVED IT :) Did not want to leave.

Relaxing get away
My family of four came here because it was mine and my husbands 1 year anniversary plus our family vacation. We did not want to leave it was very relaxing I was just as happy relaxing in the room on the balcony as i was going somewhere. The location is in the middle of everything. We had the best time and every one was super friendly, very quiet place. We will return and stay here!

Lacking Something
The room is very spacious, and initially clean. However, the room is never cleaned while being occupied, not even to empty the trash. Air conditioning unit is VERY loud and tends to wake you up at night. Need to come into the 21st century and get WiFi. Had eithernet cord offered, but the cord is only about a foot long so have to crouch by the outlet in order to use your laptop. Location was wonderful, right on the beach. Hotel was obviously very nice when first opened, but the maintenance has not been kept up.

fun family get away!
This was a wonderful, clean, hotel! We had a one bedroom so the only bad part was having no outside window or balcony. Otherwise fantastic. They let us check in 6 hours early and with a baby and a toddler that was great. Pool area was perfect for all ages of children! I would recommend this hotel!

AMAZING PLACE!
I was in town with a group of friends for a music festival. I almost didn't want to see the shows after seeing the spacious condo with the beautiful gulf view. The accomadations and amenities were exceptional. I feel like we could have doubled the amount of people we had staying in the condo and still been comfortable! All of the employees of the condo were wonderful-we checked into our room several hours ahead of schedule without any extra cost. I would definitely suggest this condo~I want to go back!
