We come here every Thanksgiving for a quiet and relaxing getaway, and this year was no exception. The staff, as always, felt like family — warm, welcoming, and even helping us with our luggage so kindly. Nothing has drastically changed, and that’s exactly what I appreciate: the consistent comfort and timeless quality of this resort. Our corner room this time had a beautiful view, and waking up to the sound of the waves was pure happiness. We’ll definitely be back again next year, already looking forward to that same peaceful feeling waiting for us. Thank you

I absolutely loved the view. Check in was a breeze and I loved the restaurant. My only complaint was you can hear everything. My neighbor in the next room were extremely loud and it started at 5 AM until the time we checked out which is kind of understandable. They did sound like they were smaller children, but next time I will choose a more adult style venue to stay at. The staff was pretty awesome and extremely courteous. I would definitely recommend.

We love the Pensacola Beach Resort, it’s an upscale coastal resort on the sand, what’s not to love! We have been with them since they purchased from Margaritaville and I have to say the property is immaculate and the staff under the leadership of the new owner is amazing. We are treated very well. The food is great and you can’t beat the view. My only suggestion would be to have perks for their loyal members. They also need to designate one of the meeting rooms as a Business Office. There are a lot of professionals here trying to work in the lobby. Again, love it here and we’ll be back!
