I have nothing but good things to say about this hotel. The hotel lobby is fun and the colors are vibrant. They have an indoor pool, an outdoor pool and hot tub, and beautiful beachfront property, which, by the way, has the best beach around! The staff, from those clearing rooms to the guys handing out towels at the pool... More

Wonderful helpful service when we had to cancel a weekend trip. Haley at the Front Desk was the BEST!! We will plan another stay when we are in the area. Our grown children with their family do stay often at the Holiday Resort and are planning their next trip already. THANK YOU HALEY!!

Dear vvvvvvvTexas, Sorry you couldn't make the trip...good that Hali accomodated your request. The window for cancellations is usually 72 hours...sometimes guests wait too late and then have to pay one night's room and tax or reschedule. So glad everything worked out for you!

My family has stayed at this hotel several times since it has opened and it just keeps getting better and better. Great location, beautiful beach, good value but the thing that keeps us coming back is the employees, especially Hailey at the Front Desk.

My husband and I planned a quick getaway weekend and randomly picked Jan. 25-27. Little did I know that the minute we landed in Pensacola I would receive a call that my father passed away.

This is a nice hotel that is on the beach and close to several good places to eat. The staff was very friendly and accomodating. Ill definitely stay here again. There is plenty of parking. You can't go wrong with the view on either side of this hotel. I would recommend a high floor room though for the best view.

Dear scottya746, Thank you for the compliments...the staff will be happy to know that their efforts are noticed. The parking lot does get full on the weekends, especially during peak season. We do have parking permits that are given to the guests at check in...it is free for 1 car per room. We have added more palm trees and landscaping... More

Booked thru hotels.com. Calling it a resort is a bit of a stretch but the place is pretty new and has nice amenities. We got a discounted rate which helped.
