Perfect Location

This hotel was in a most convenient location and very easy to access. We had a balcony room on the gulf side that was great! It was very spacious and very clean. We especially liked the huge shower in the bathroom…not often you find one that large in a hotel. My only fault with the room itself was the lighting, as there was only one lamp in the huge open area of the room, making it very dim at night. This in no way affected my rating. Overall we really enjoyed our stay!

Family Trip

My family and I normally stay at the Portifino, but decided to try something different this trip, and I have to say we are very pleased with The Pensacola Beach Resort. The Hotel was in a great location with a beautiful view. The rooms were large and very clean. The staff was amazing, and the Breakfast was such a hit with my husband and son. We will definitely be back.

This property was fantastic! We went for Valentine's/mini-honeymoon. It will become a regular vacation spot for us. We got the Executive Gulf View Room and the romance package. The wrap around balcony was perfect. We did breakfast, which was very good. Everthing was extremely clean. The lobby is awesome with the views of the ocean. Beautiful. If your going for adult time, absolutely get the Executive room. It only allows two people so that room isn't for families. The ability to walk right on the beach was fantastic and the water was prettier than expected.

Amazing view & Super clean!

This was the best hotel stay I’ve had in years. The report was at a great location with easy beach access. The view from the room was great, even in the harbor side. The rooms were extremely clean and the service was great. The bed was too stiff for my liking but that isn’t unusually for a hotel.
