There was someone playing live music at certain times of the day. The room was clean and had a simple but nice setup. The shower had great water temperature and pressure. We had an ocean view room which was worth the extra cost. Waking up to the beach every morning was so satisfying. Reading on the balcony while listening to the ocean sounds and watching the waves was everything that I needed. The hotel has beach towels that are easily checked out through a machine. Beach chairs and umbrellas are available first come first serve to hotel guests which is very convenient. There was a heated outdoor pool, a volleyball net and a few games inside. We ate all of our meals at the hotel. We ate at the grab and go food spot. I ordered the feta and spinach croissant, a chocolate chip scone and a cappuccino. We also ate dinner at the latitude 30. I ordered a ceasar salad and calamari. For breakfast at latitude 30, I ordered the French toast dish that comes bacon and I ordered a side of eggs. We also ate at the fine dining restaurant onsite where I ordered the seared scallops dish and the vanilla crème brûlée. All of the meals that we ate at the hotel were very tasty. The restaurant staff were all kind and the utensils were spotless. I believe food may have also been served at the bar near the pool, but I didn't try any food from there during my visit. I really had an enjoyable time at this hotel and I plan to return in the future.

All staff members I encountered during my three days here were friendly and helpful. The weather didn't permit pool time, but it was clean and pretty to look at, and the view of the beach was nice. Walking distance to so many food places and shopping. Unlike other hotels I've stayed in, the walls were not paper thin so I had no noise disturbances! Big buffet breakfast in the lobby, and a tiki bar outside. What more can you ask for? Except fluffier pillows - these were flat within seconds, but honestly, that would be my only negative and that's not a dealbreaker at all. Next time, I'll just bring my own.

I'm older than…read moredirt and have never been arrested, yet was approached by a security guard this morning as I took a sip of black coffee I got from a coffee pot in the hotel lobby. (I had called earlier commenting about no coffee in the room and was told there was a coffee bar in the lobby... never any mention of a charge) Mortified, walletless, not knowing what to do, I dumped my coffee in the waste basket and went back to our room. We are staying here for a week so I called to ask how much the coffee was and was told $3.75 a cup. Now our idea of entertainment since my husband can't move around very well is sitting on the deck by the ocean and drinking coffee.... So it's kind of a big deal to us, as it probably is with other seniors and mobility challenged individuals, so thought I'd share. Aside from that the room is nice and the view great, which probably keeps people coming. Also, the pizza we had at the Hotel bar was not very good. So overall nice stay if you pack your Keurig and dine somewhere else.

The pool and jacuzzi are right on the sand, which makes it extra relaxing. The staff is super helpful and we have to give a shoutout to Noah Vegas for the customer service he provided. The only reason I'm not giving this five stars is due to the food. They only offer a lackluster breakfast buffet and during the day undercooked pizza. I'd pass on the food but everything else was solid.

We called the front desk to see if we could get more pillows and they sent them up very quickly :) This hotel is right on the beach and our room had a balcony. We were on the side but we could still see the Gulf which was nice. We enjoyed a drink or two out there after our day at the beach. There's a pool and Barr at the pool that serves yummy cocktails that you can take up to your room. It was a very enjoyable experience. While the hotel is taking precautions for COVID, the guests aren't trying to follow the mask policy which sucks. There are signs posted everywhere about the policy but it isn't enforced. That's my reason for 4 stars instead of 5

The lobby and pool area are nice and the employees are so sweet and helpful but this hotel is far less than what is posted on the websites when searching for a place to stay.

The prices were more then reasonable and I could take care of the entire transaction online. Now for the rest of the story!!!! The home we rented is one of my personal friends.

We were all excited because in the past all the condos have been awesome, but this one was a let down. We walked in with a few groceries, opened the fridge and we were about knocked down with the smell of spoiled seafood! I went down stairs to the check in counter to complain, and the fella was very helpful trying to get the issue fixed. He called the supervisor of the cleaning company and that man started hollering at him over the phone about what all I had complained about. The fella then gave me the phone to explain what wall I was saying, the cleaning supervisor then said that everything was inspected and it was fine. I told him to come and look and smell. He agreed in sending someone but nothing changed for the 5 night/6 days we were there. Phoenix Orange Beach #401, lacked in cleaning as well. The kitchen had nothing but small "glass" glasses to drink out of and with kids ages 3-16, 4 of them being 10 and under plastic glasses would have been much safer. The beds were comfortable, slept well but the rooms that had views to the outside only had sheer curtains and didn't block the early morning sun. The decor wasn't like the the other condos that we have stayed in in the past. The outdoor pool was extremely small to accommodate the guests. The laundry area about knocked me for a loop, you'll see in the pictures I post. The walk to the beach was just a little short jaunt which was great! That's probably the best thing about this property! Oh and the ice machine on this property is $5.00 a bag!

Areas for improvement: The front desk folks need training. Every time we stopped by it was a new face...some friendly, some not. Mostly they just struggled with answering basic resort questions from us and others inquired. "How do we rent chairs at the beach?" The young lady said, "sorry i don't know." I called to check on how to use the putt putt activity. Another young voice said "you just putt the ball on the grass and hit it." I laughed, "no sorry i need to check out equipment for it right?" She said, "you can look at it first if you want." So I responded, "do you have putters and balls that i can use?" She said, "yes". I responded "how do i do that?" She said "its free to use." I asked "where do i get the equipment?" She said "at the desk". I get to the desk and they tell me "i must leave my driver license to check out equipment."
