We had a great experience for a quick little getaway weekend. Every single staff member was phenomenal and very positive! We enjoyed Marshall & Brittney at the Tiki Bar, Henry was our server for dinner, and Scott the bellman was 11/10. Front desk staff were always pleasant. Our trip consisted of some very windy and stormy weather that had the pool deck a little closed up for precautions, but staff made up for it! Will definitely be back

Over The Top!

Fabulous resort. Amazing ocean view - nothing between you and the gorgeous white sand and stunning blue water. My biggest, and most pleasant surprise was the main restaurant in the hotel. The chef(s) are to be complemented as the food was over the top! Excellent! Cannot wait to go back to The Pensacola Beach Resort!
