Location was great, hotel was very nice. Staff across their functions were friendly, always engaging, impressed they were busy working regardless day or night. Staff, food, and location will have me book again. Foodcraft breakfast & dinner was excellent, we'll try The Perch next time, worth the price. The Dragonfly service was very slow, especially if you sit at the bar, and food and drinks were underwhelming and overpriced, except for the wings. Room was fine, seemed a bit tight, and the big stand up lamp in room was weird and was in the way. The bed was maybe too soft, and felt like an undersized King, but was okay. It would be nice to have a fan available. Otherwise, bathrooms clean, towels were good quality. Shower was large stand up but smaller single showerhead needs to be large to cover two people. Marsh view was fine, but wished we knew the roadway was right there. We liked the public balconies with seating and ocean views on each level. Mostly dipped in the ocean yet pool was nice. We will book a different style room next time so not adjourning and see how it is. Do not like the idea of an expanded pool area and dune removal for 2026. If I wanted a typical resort feel, I’d book in Orange Beach.

The lobby is very beautiful and desk staff are good. The breakfast buffet is first rate! It's a first class conference hotel and resort. Extremely eco-friendly. All staff are very friendly and helpful. I was very disappointed in having no convenient beach access. There was pool onstruction right in front of the balcony. The balcony furniture was very uncomfortable. My room was a long walk from the lobby. The in-room water is $3 a bottle. You are required to join Hilton Rewards to access the "free" Internet. Kids run around the hallways making noise and unsupervised. Valet parking is basically required because parking is very far away. Valet parking takes a while to get your car. The facility is really too large for mature people to easily navigate. I will stay at other beach resorts because this one is not for me.

1. We were happy to get a Gulf view room and were happy to pay for this. No one disclosed that our view was over very loud daily pool construction. Power washers running early. Cement trucks backing into the area. Loud. We wanted rest and relaxation. 2. Bugs. Sand flies in our bathroom. Dozens of them. Nowhere else. We’re told that we must be letting them in. We spend most days out if the room so I doubt this. 3. Beach access. Close boardwalk was closed due to already mentioned construction. Forced to walk to opposite end of hotel (and it is very long) to go to tbe beach. Horrible on my bad knees. 4. Expensive. No discount for construction area. Not even mentioned.

The balcony view was nice but there was construction and saws running right under our room during our stay. The parking was also a great distance from the hotel so that was the most inconvenient aspect of our stay. They offer valet parking but of course that cost extra if you wanted that option. Over all the teip was ok but parking was a disappointment for sure
