I did not stay there before the hurricane, so I can't speak to how the resort use to be; but I can tell you that it's a great place today. They recently in the past 6 months reopened to the public after an extensive reconstruction and remodal. They did a fantastic job keeping the "Old Florida" charm as well as upgrading to more modern amenities. I could not be more pleased by the friendliness and knowledge of the staff running the El Governor. They were super awesome the entire stay and went out of their way to anwser any questions we had or make recommendations for us. They even noticed that the rate we paid online was higher than the special they were running and adjusted our bill accordingly. It's always nice to get money back. The updated rooms were very clean and inviting. I love the fact that you can walk in the front door of the room and walk out the back to your own private balcony. Did I mention all rooms have a balcony facing the beach and gulf? That's awesome! Also every room sports a kitchenette with a range/oven, sink, microwave, full size refrigerator, Kurig, and is stocked with everything you need to cook (dishes, pots & pans, and utinsels). The room we were in had 2 full size beds that were very comfortable. The television in the room has a lot of channels and you are able to use mobile mode to stream your favorite movies and shows. The hotel amenities include a nice new heated pool, small splash pad, gazebo with swings and chairs, a new bar area (to be open soon), and it's right on the beach with access. There is even a gift shop with souvenirs, snacks, wine, beer, and even a small selection of liquor. Across from the hotel is an RV park for guests who enjoy bringing their RVs down for a visit. I will warn you about the parking; it can be a little tricky as it's tight. This past weekend the hotel was packed out and it was difficult getting a space in front of the hotel. There is overflow parking across the street in front of the RV lot if the parking lot does get filled up; or you have a larger vehicle. We enjoyed our visit so much that I'm planning another visit in the next couple of months; once it's warmer outside.

The deck off our room was great for morning coffee and evening ice cream. The owner who manages the motel is friendly and very helpful. Cons: the kitchenette is very, very basic. The reason we booked here over the El Govenor was for the kitchenette and we were very disappointed in the lack of utensils and dishes. The cupboards and drawers were dirty inside. The coffee maker needs to be replaced or thoroughly cleaned. The air conditioner is also very loud. We turned it off at night, slept without blankets and listened to the waves. Cleanliness. I had no doubt the bedding was clean but the floors were very dirty upon arrival. I remove my shoes when walking in a door and When I took off my motorcycle boots and socks to walk around and unpack, my feet were sandy and dirty within minutes. There are no brooms or floor cleaning items provided and the room isn't serviced at all during the stay. It's a good thing I brought extra soap because we needed it. There are also no beach towels provided. We had to buy those across the street. To be fair, I think many families and couples coming to Mexico Beach arrive in fully packed cars, not on a motorcycle or flying in from elsewhere. The other guests appeared to be those well prepared families. That said, at $130 USD a night, I expected a cleaner room and more conveniences like dishes, daily room cleaning (especially floors given the sand factor!) and beach towels.

If you pick up some fresh seafood at Shell Shack, and some charcoal at Gulf Foods, there's a grill available to cook an amazing dinner right while you listen to the waves crash/watch the sunset! It's amazing! Great for singles, families, couples, anyone. This place will not disappoint.

These little cottages are managed, but not owned by The Port Inn (next door), so that's where you…read moreneed to check in. (You can also enjoy their continental breakfast.) You can rent them daily, weekly, or monthly. Our cottage had two bedrooms and 1.5 baths, so for our little family, it was perfect. There was also a pull out couch that I think was a queen. There was a full sized kitchen that was fully stocked with dishes, pots &pans, and even grill utensils. There was a small dining table with 4 chairs. There is even a stacking washer/dryer. The small pool out front is 3-5' deep. There's also a community grill and pavilion with chairs and lounge chairs. You can walk to so many restaurant's and boutiques. The only thing keeping this place from being 5 stars is the bathroom. There was mold on the shower curtain, mold on the windows sill, and rust showing through the paint next to the tub. If they would fix that, then the location, size of the unit, and the amenities would make it a five star.

I can never remember the names but they've all been good. The only thing I'll say though Is if sound bothers you, you should stay upstairs as it's quieter during the evening/night. Recently, they've repainted the exterior and are now a turquoise color. You get access to the bay from the attached dock and they have a few things for rental like kayaks, canoes, bikes. They also have a hot tub but people hop in early so it's always full Parking lot is small so basically 1 car/room Wendy is wonderful & so is Shay who comes to help when it's full. This past visit they made us quiche one day and waffles another and both meals were delicious and plenty of food to be full from. They also do coffee, orange juice and fruit water in the morning They have a communal microwave and dishware to use and rooms get their own little fridge They have access to the beach across the street and there's a convenience store across the street too. A few restaurants close by but port st Joe is a small and quiet town so the beach isn't crowded hardly ever You can go catch scallops during the late summer, if I recall and it gets pretty busy then Lots of locals eating at the same restaurants in the area so don't expect 5 star dining but the food is pretty good and seafood is fresh in the area Small park nearby as well and lots of seashells

You can get any closer to the white sands and ocean The building's architecture is unique due to its crescent style format and all the rooms have a wonderful view of the ocean and manicured beach. The interior of the building is modern with art Nuevo and beachy themes. It has a chill vibe where you can enjoy inspired beachy drinks and decent food. Just across the street, there other restaurants and shopping stores. The rooms were ok. It has been renovated but you can tell the room was old and dated. Scuff marks on the furniture, a "painted" full size fridge, and exterior balcony door that has seen some weather. The bathroom was a highlight with a recent renovation and it was light and bright. Water pressure was good too. The main reason why you pay extra and higher cost is for the ocean and beach view. Our balcony view was perfect for us. Great sunrise and sunset views. The breeze was gently enough to keep to somewhat cool and the music coming from the pool's grill bar was pleasant enough to dance or hum along. Only downside was the AC unit which can quite loud cuz it part of the balcony's exterior. But hey, it kept our room cool and refreshing. The hotel amenities includes, two restaurants (Italian / Mediterranean) inside, and pool grill (American), small excessive room (machines only), and the HIGHLIGHT - three different sections of the massive pool! A large main pool, a separate Lazy River, and a kids section with its own water playground. Also, a hot tub too. The lazy river was fun and relaxing. The grill bar had ample seats and on occasion they will have Live music. The other highlight was the beach. Just a 100 feet from the main entrance and pass the pool. Bam you are there! Also, they have lounge chairs and umbrellas for rental; $45 per hour or $60 for five hours. We opted for the $60, cuz you can walk back and forth to the grill bar for drinks and food and you don't have to worry on someone taking your spot. Definitely recommend the place! So take off your shoes and enjoy the time at pool and beach, and remember what Bobby McFerrin sang, "Don't worry, be happy"! Oh, see my other review on their Italian/ Mediterranean restaurant!
