Reviews and Ratings
My stay at the hotel was simply amazing. The huge balcony overlooking the Gulf provided an exceptional view. The kids loved the bunk beds in the room, and the larger patio with a Gulf view was a real highlight. However, the price could have been more budget-friendly.
I had a wonderful stay at this hotel! The room had a bunk bed and a huge balcony overlooking the Gulf, which was amazing. The service was top-notch, and the location right on the beach couldn't have been better. The dining with the lovely view was a highlight. However, there were some issues with the facilities and the price could have been better.
Our stay at the hotel was terrific! The rooms were spacious, with bunks for our family of 6, and a larger patio with a stunning gulf view. The service was outstanding, especially the housekeeping and the warm welcome drink upon arrival. The location was unbeatable, directly on the beautiful sandy beach of Orange Beach. However, the dining options were somewhat limited, and some meat and fish dishes were the only available choices for us. Overall, we had a wonderful time and thought it was great value for money.
