Beautiful resort. Gorgeous view of the ocean, very easy ocean access. The resort is further down than most of the action so there isnt a lot that's easily walkable, but it makes it so you get a nice stretch of beach that isnt very crowded. My only complaint with our stay was that getting pool/ beach towel was a royal pain. They counted them by the room number like they were prized possessions and 2 days of our week long stay we couldnt even get any because they ran out. For the price we paid for this place I found it pretty annoying that I couldnt even get a pool towel to use.

We have stayed at the Pensacola Beach Resort twice now and we will continue to come back here! The drinks and food offered at the resort are incredible. Staff is very helpful and friendly. The location is convenient on the beach, providing a more quiet area vs the more popular public beach area (which is walkable from the hotel still). Rooms are clean and comfortable with a great view if you choose gulf front. 10/10

Very Clean - Be Aware of 18% Resort Fee

The rooms and facilities were very clean and spacious. We enjoyed the pool and walking down to the beach. Only negative is that there is a 18% resort service charge attached to incidentals. Once you add the tip, everything get expensive fast.
