To get down to the beach couldn't have been easier, down to ground level in elevators, stop by car and grab beach chairs because it's right there at the exit to the beach we didn't have to drag our chairs up and down from the condo. Pretty much had the beach to ourselves.

After a few minutes of going barefoot on the tile floor, the soles of our feet were black which we didn't notice until my husband's heel left a black impression on the white bedspread. (Yuk!) So we wore our flip flops from the moment we stepped out of the shower until we crawled into bed at night. Also, we were allowed two parking spaces when we booked, but in the middle of our stay they reduced it to one and stated we could pay for additional parking outside the gate!

The oceanfront view from the balcony was awesome for morning coffee or an evening glass of wine. Easy access to beach and pool. The Southern Team took really good care of us during our stay. Communication was excellent! From the time we booked until the time we checked out. I had a few questions prior to our stay and they answered all of my question promptly and courteously. They kept us updated on everything that was going on in our building during our stay. In addition our WiFi went out late one night and I reached out to management and they responded and walked us through steps to help resolve the issue. They took really good care of us during our stay. Looking forward to staying here again!!

They charge a premium but delivery and economy experience. Truly the worst vacation experience my family has ever had

Ended up spending a very cold and windy night here, so some of the amenities weren't really worth…read moreit, but I can tell you that it's a place that I would definitely want to come back to. 1. Service - everyone from check in to check out was so professional and courteous that they made me feel right at home. 2. Amenities - right on the beach, swimming, lazy river, hot tubs, all great! (But, again, it was too cold to enjoy much but the hot tub. Still worth it.) 3. The room - clean and comfortable with a balcony overlooking the Gulf. Plus, after a week on a cruise ship, it felt like the biggest room in the world! (It was standard hotel size for two queens, but still felt ginormous.) 4. Great bathroom and supplies. My only real drawback was the water pressure. On the 7th floor, the shower took quite a bit longer than usual to get all the shampoo out. 5. Location - not only on the beach, but within walking distance to great restaurants, bars, and fun. Loved it all around. I love Pensacola Beach, and this definitely gives you the vibe they're going for.

The property is clean but not impressive. The lobby restaurant is REALLY not worth your time. If H. & R. Block opened a restaurant, this would be the place! The workers use the elevators as if they owned the place. They'll get in the elevator and regardless of how many people are already on board, they'll push right past you and take charge of YOUR ride down to the lobby! I was most upset when I found out that was a MARRIOTT right next door and I could have used the points.

They could care less that if I hadn't checked we would have taken bed bugs home. I'm still having nightmare!!! All our blankets and beach bags were trashed. We had to pay for a hotel that night. The only solution almost 24 hours later after numerous calls to them was either a refund or put us in a much less rental than we booked months ago. It looked shady! They could have cared less we were 14 hours from home Without a place to stay. We ended up staying in a hotel paying way more for last minute hotel rental.

We have stayed at Emerald Isle twice. I believe the first time was in unit 604 and it was great…read more The second time was in unit 1201 and it was through a rental agency called Southern Vacation Rentals. We were severely disappointed in 1201 because of Southern Vacation Rentals. We stayed here May of 2025. The review I left on their website, which they did not post, reads as follows: The advertisement of this property was misleading. There was a disclaimer on the booking page about construction and repairs going on at Emerald Isle, but it was unknown the unit we booked would be directly affected. This was not made known to us until the day of arrival via the texting platform. There was no mention of it in any prior emails when booking or notice of check in. Our balcony was completely unusable during the day Monday through Saturday 8am-5pm. Workers blocked our ability to go out on the balcony because they would put a wood stick in the door to jam it from the outside. The balcony railing (which is glass) was tarped off with a material you could not see through. There was no view of the beach when sitting in the chairs on the balcony for the entire duration of our stay. The only way to see the beach was to be standing by the railing itself. Furthermore, I was getting changed into my bathing suit when the workers made it up to our unit on the scaffolding and I had to duck because I was naked. There was no privacy in the master bedroom or main living area. In the master, I could close the curtains for privacy, but again that blocked any view of the ocean/beach that we had. There was no way to create privacy when in the living room because workers were right outside the windows and balcony that could not be closed off. Southern Vacation Rentals did nothing to make our trip more pleasant due to the poor disclosure and disruptions. It is sad we were not made aware, and Southern chose to do nothing to make it right. I would recommend others not stay here until repairs are done or until the booking person is aware of what they truly are getting. Southern acted slyly and unconcerned with the quality of our stay.

Disclaimer: Hilton Diamond member I needed to recharge and…read morespend some time in the ocean with my toes in the sand. This is my third visit to Pensacola and I think I'm falling in love. The beaches are absolutely beautiful, so much sunshine, and an over abundance of the freshest seafood anywhere. When I visit, I prefer to be as close to the ocean as possible. Hampton Inn fit the bill. The lobby is warm bright and welcoming. Every front desk team member is hospitable and helpful. The common areas are comfortable and cozy. The outdoor patio is perfect for breakfast or a rally point for meeting up throughout the day. The hotel offers a substantial complimentary breakfast every morning. The menu changes daily but the DIY waffle station is always available. The coffee bar is open 24/7. We had a room on the first floor overlooking the pool. The room is large with high ceilings. We had two queen beds and a small loveseat. I must note, this was one of the most comfortable Hilton beds I've ever slept in. Usually the pillows are not comfortable, but I slept well every night and every afternoon for a midday siesta. In room amenities included a mini fridge, microwave, coffee maker, and a cupboard with shelving to keep snacks and supplies organized. There's a small closet too small to be of much use. The bathroom is clean with a tub and shower. They offer the standard Hilton linens which were clean and comfortable. The bathroom has plenty of hooks for towels. There's also wall hooks in the room for towels etc. It is nice to be able to keep things tidy and have dry bathing suits. The BEST feature of this hotel is the pool access. The hotel offers two smaller pools. The deck contains a few loungers, chairs, and umbrellas. I recommend upgrading your stay and opting for the VIP access bracelet. This is an additional $20 per person for your entire stay. Kids 12 and under are free. This will give you access to the pools at: Fairfield Pensacola Beach, Holiday Inn Resort, Hilton Pensacola Beach, and Surf and Sand Hotel. The pass also includes bike, paddle board, and kayak usage at Surf and Sand. The pool not your thing? My favorite pool is the Fairfield pool. You'll have to check it out for yourself. The hotel has direct beach access. There are showers for rinsing off all the sand and salt water acquired during the day. There is a rental company for chair and umbrella day rentals. They will set up and tear down everything at the end of the day. I found the prices to be fairly reasonable. I highly recommend this hotel for families. This has all the amenities you need when traveling with children. My children are much older, but this would have been an ideal place when they were small. I did use the laundry facilities during our stay. I have made a point of not lugging dirty laundry back home with me. We also made use of the fitness center. This was a great place and made for a wonderful vacation.

She was blazing through whatever she said quietly and at about the same speed as the side effects warning on a TV commercial for prescription meds.

She , literally, rolled her eyes and continued to the end of her speech at which time I had a room key and a pink square of paper with numbers on it that I had no idea was for. Not a great first impression. Fortunately this was a one off experience and the remainder of our stay was perfect. The resort is beautiful. The pool area was great. Our room was generously sized and very well appointed. (I still recommend all nice hotels stop buying those packets for the coffee maker with powdered creamer and that horrible pink stuff for sweetener. You're better than that.) The staff, no matter who or where we bumped into them, was friendly, engaging, and helpful. Housekeeping, maintenance, lobby, bars, food service. 100% awesome. The food and drinks in the lobby bar were amazing. We ate there several times because we couldn't think of a good reason to go anywhere else and fight the crowds and traffic for lesser food. We really enjoyed our stay and would certainly stay again.
