This resort is quite honestly one of the nicest on Pensacola Beach. Used to be the Margaritaville but it's now Pensacola Beach Resort. It's stunning and very comfortable. I wish the music would change up a bit around the pool and maybe incorruptible incorporate some art activities like the Margaritaville used to have to make things more fun for guests. But it's still a gorgeous place to enjoy

The rooms were beautiful, access to the beach was very convenient. Very beautiful resort. Loved the pool and the staff was very friendly and helpful. Very acceptable location as well if you're traveling with children, mine are 6 and 2 and loved how close the beach was and also loved the store inside the resort! The only thing I noticed was that there was no microwave in the room , we needed one at times.

Nice beach vibes but pricey amenities
This is our second time staying here and we love everything about it except for the relatively limited and pricey food options on the property. Highly recommend the king Gulf room with balcony. Very spacious and comfortable. Excellent shower. Food and bev on the property are mediocre and overpriced. Be aware of the mandatory 18% gratuity added to checks. Tried to get a Club sandwich last night for dinner but apparently it can only be made during lunch hours? Make it make sense. Beach chair and umbrella rentals are provided by a third-party at $55/day.
