The Pearl Hotel is a boutique hotel in RoseMary beach- Santa Rosa. Their rooms are gorgeous and their Havana bar is pretty special. I had one of their signature drinks- The Roseberry (lavender vodka) and later ordered my own fave- Paloma. The bar is cozy and has a gorgeous old feel. The bartenders are polite and friendly. Everything feels old fashioned nostalgia- their coasters are leather and have quotes from the legend- Ernest Hemingway. All is Key West- Cuba fashion at The Havana! Love you, you're a true Pearl in Rosemary Beach! read more

A Mixed Experience at The Pearl Rooftop Bar We recently visited the Rooftop Bar at The Pearl in Rosemary Beach, and unfortunately, our experience was a real mix of wonderful service and some disappointing lapses in customer service. First, the bright spot was our server, Lauren. She was friendly, attentive, and made excellent drink and food suggestions. She was a pleasure to have as our server and truly represented the level of hospitality you would expect from a Forbes-recognized hotel. The grouper sandwich with fries was wonderful -- I would give the sandwich an 8/10. However, what happened when we ordered it was frustrating. Lauren asked if we would like the sandwich cut in half, and since my husband and I were splitting it, we said that would be great. We were then told that Executive Chef Jordan had instructed the kitchen staff that under no circumstances were they to cut a sandwich in half for a customer. Seriously? For a property known for outstanding service, this was a head-scratcher. We weren't asking for anything complicated or unreasonable -- simply to have a sandwich cut in half and placed on two plates. This is exactly the kind of small gesture that should be part of great hospitality. Instead, the kitchen turned a simple request into an unnecessary customer-service issue. I would give this aspect of the experience a 2/10. There was another issue that seems like an easy fix. My husband asked about the Virtuous Veggie sandwich, which was still listed on the menu. Lauren told us that it had been taken off the menu, along with the Mojo Boiled Peanuts, quite some time ago. Again, for a Forbes-recognized hotel, why are customers still being handed a laminated menu with items that are no longer available? Updating the menu seems like a pretty basic operational detail. Finally, there was the HUGE fan on the deck. We completely understand the need for air movement on a hot day, but this fan was so loud that it sounded like a jet engine taking off. There are much better alternatives. Misters and quieter, effective fans -- like the systems used at places such as Tommy Bahama Restaurants -- can keep guests comfortable without overwhelming the entire dining experience. So, our overall experience was definitely a mixed bag: Grouper sandwich: 8/10 ‍ Kitchen/chef customer service: 2/10 Lauren and our table service: 9/10 Lauren deserves a lot of credit for making our visit enjoyable despite the other issues. She was fantastic. The Pearl has a beautiful setting and the potential to deliver the exceptional experience its reputation promises. But the little things matter -- especially at a luxury property. A chef refusing to allow a sandwich to be cut in half for two guests who are sharing it is simply not the kind of hospitality I would expect from a Forbes-recognized hotel. Hopefully, management will take these comments as an opportunity to look at the guest experience from the customer's perspective. Sometimes the smallest accommodations make the biggest difference. read more

I just had one of the best Cuban sandwiches today at the Pearl. Off the chart good with plantains. Omg!! Didn't leave a morsel. Can't wait to come back!! A must try when here, maybe you'll get lucky and have Bill as your waiter. read more

The atmosphere of the rooftop bar is fine, it was quiet both times we went. The view is nice. The shrimp tacos had good flavor but the tortilla was sort of just cold and flavorless. The fries were a group favorite as was the lemonade cocktail. The chips were stale. read more

I have been stalking The Pearl for years and finally splurged for a weekend here. The concierge was emailing me with restaurants and set up a car before we arrived. Ask for Wendy! She was the BEST! The hotel has complimentary beach set up which is so useful and important to me as I am always in the water. The smell of the hotel? They pipe in an almond-esque scent that stays with you. The finishings in the room are STUNNING. The pool opens at 7 am and they provide high end sunscreen at the beach and pool, along with ice cold bottles of water-the best perk. They have a beach bag in the room you can use during your stay, along with flip flops if you forgot yours- another nice touch. It's an adults only hotel, so it does tend to be quiet and it was very peaceful. The showers are very well stocked with bespoke toiletries. Cookies were waiting for us in the evenings at the turn down service. The staff checked on us constantly during our weekend stay. The location is perfect to walk to restaurants. I was unfamiliar with this hospitality group but I'm now a fan. We will be back! ( The Havana Beach Club has the best food and a nice rooftop bar!) read more

My wife and I along with our 18 year old nephew just returned from a week at the Pearl Hotel yesterday. The hotel is really a beautiful building and the staff is very attentive. The Main Street location is convenient and central to varied shopping and dining just steps away from your room. The hotels weekly rates are not cheap but my issues are in the value and the advertising related to our stay. we booked a 2 bedroom suite with a town view. $13,500.00 for the week. No issue except I consider a suite to include a room that is not a bedroom or a bath, ie a living room. We paid for a suite and were given 2 bedrooms with a connected bath. The second bedroom did not have a door to separate it from the entry door or the bathroom. This resulted in a serious lack of privacy for our family. Each bedroom did have small private balcony that held small table and 2 chairs. One bedroom had a chair while the other bedroom had no seating other than the bed. We were really disappointed in not having a common area to relax with our family after paying for a suite. Bottom line is that the value falls way short the cost. I am including a Google definition of "Hotel Suite": A hotel suite is a type of guest accommodation that typically includes multiple rooms, such as a bedroom and a separate living area, offering more space and amenities than a standard hotel room. read more

Not up to my standards for a restaurant. Waiter was absent most of the time and took extended time to bring food and dessert. A scoop of ice cream shouldn't take 20-30 mins! read more

The Cajun seafood pasta was recommended to us and we were not disappointed! The crab cakes are great, and the cocktails are prepared perfectly, although on the pricey side. The host was a little unfriendly but our server did a great job taking care of our large dinner party. We had a hard time deciding what to get but we were happy with our selections. Would return. read more

Was expecting way more than what we got. Very pricey for a hotel that is old and dated. It is not luxurious in the least. My expectations based on the price were dashed upon entering the place. This sounds really picky but the front door glass was so dirty and stayed that way the whole time we were there. Not one to write reviews, but felt like it was necessary for some to avoid the disappointment and the price. Staff was great. Bar was great. Please check it out carefully if you are headed to Rosemary Beach. read more

This week we spent four days and 3 nights at the Beautiful Pearl Hotel in Rosemary Beach, Florida. You can't believe the level of service you receive in this hotel. Upon early arrival we were greeted by concierge service at checkin which included our room being ready before standard checkin and friendly professional service which included dinner recommendations and reservations and to top it off, two glasses of Prosecco for my wife and I. Each time a member of the staff addressed you they knew your name, unreal, The room was impeccably appointed and extremely clean. You have to experience this level of service to believe it. We enjoyed it immensely and I think you would too. And all this in one of the most beautiful beach communities in Florida. read more

It's a stunning building, and clearly the centerpiece of Rosemary Beach, convenient to everything, The views from the gulf facing rooms are perfection. Lots of activity in the grassy square in front of you, beautiful homes and buildings on the sides, and a grand view of the gulf just beyond. Rooms are nicely laid out, with comfortable seating area, small dining table, stocked complementary fridge. Good closet and drawer space. Ceiling fan. Comfortable bed and good room darkening. Service was excellent; whether room service, housekeeping, special requests, the staff were always very responsive and friendly. A few negatives kept it from perfection. Our first night, the a/c was barely working and the room warmish and there was only barely lukewarm water in the shower. When we mentioned to the front desk the next morning, they said they were aware and crews were working on it. A hotel the caliber of the Pearl I would have expected them to proactively update the guests, not wait for complaints. TV - HDMI ports were available to plug in devices, but switching from cable to another port resulted in a blank screen. Hotel tech support arrived promptly but had no idea what the issue was or how to resolve. We had a spa tub in the bathroom and the shower was a coffin sized cube barely big enough to turn around in. Apparently, if you don't have the tub, you get a nice walk in shower. Next visit we'll know to specify. These are little complaints, but the Pearl is billed as a top notch hotel, and didn't quite meet that bar for us. With their rates, we'll explore other 30A options before returning. read more

Before a long girls' weekend in 30A, I flew in a day early for a little solo reset and booked one night at The Pearl. It was worth every penny for the location, amenities, and service. Valet parking is included, you're welcomed with a champagne toast, and the staff throughout the hotel was warm and attentive. The rooms are stunning. I had a 3rd floor pool view, which I highly recommend. It gives you a gorgeous view of the pool courtyard and ocean without the downtown Rosemary noise. Chairs and towels are included at both the pool and beach (they fill up quickly in peak season, so plan ahead) as well as extras like sunbum sunscreen and aloe, were a nice touch. The only downside, and reason for 4 stars, was my experience at the Havana rooftop and room service. As a solo guest, I wanted to enjoy a sunset drink and order room service after. Even though there were plenty of open seats and staff, the host team didn't want to seat me. I was given a confusing mix of reasons. Manager said no, bartender said no, etc.) and after some awkward back and forth, I was finally seated at the bar. As I sat down I noticed others were ordering drinks just fine by either sitting at the bar or walking up to it. It felt unnecessarily difficult and totally unlike the rest of the hotel. Staff were also openly talking about plotting to close early and not wanting to be there (this was the evening of June 4th). The bartender was great and helped salvage the vibe, but my gosh I did not feel welcome. Now onto room service. I called well before the 9:30pm cutoff, and I couldn't get through. I had to go through the front desk to place an order. The person who eventually took my order made me feel like a burden. The food, once delivered, was delicious and arrived quickly. Overall, I truly enjoyed my stay and would return, but I hope the rooftop experience gets some attention. It doesn't reflect the rest of The Pearl, which is otherwise top-tier. read more

Where Luxury Meets Thoughtful Hospitality This was my second stay at The Pearl, and I can confidently say it won't be my last. Every visit continues to exceed expectations in the best way possible. From the moment you arrive, the warm hospitality and thoughtful touches make you feel completely taken care of. The staff is genuinely kind and attentive, and the accommodations are nothing short of luxurious. Being greeted from the moment you arrive to check in all the way through when you check out. A huge added bonus was we arrived early and we were able to get into our room. After traveling for 7 hours, this was the best news ever. The little details--like the plush bedding, the cozy pillows, and the nightly turndown service complete with cookies (Oh and the pimiento cheese snack box on your fist night) --make the experience feel elevated and intentional. One of my favorite perks is that bikes and beach chairs are included in your stay. I loved biking around town again, especially for a morning coffee run or just exploring the beauty of Rosemary Beach. It's those small, thoughtful extras that truly set The Pearl apart. Whether visiting for business or leisure, The Pearl has quickly become my go-to destination. It's a place that makes you want to extend your stay every single time. Truly the best! read more

Spent three nights here on our first trip to the Emerald Coast area of Florida. We were warmly welcomed with a glass of sparkling wine upon our arrival. The Pearl's location is great, private beach access is nice with a guard stationed near the entrance toward evening, and they offer bicycles if you're in the mood to pedal. Housekeeping, bellmen, front desk and servers at the restaurants on property are kind and welcoming. Our final night, we attempted to run a bath and order room service. That is when we discovered the phone did not work and the tub drain was non functional. The host at Havanas Beach Bar & Grill appeared annoyed that we walked downstairs to order room service. The front desk sent a kind gentleman up to look at the and tub drain. He was able to remedy whatever ailed the phone but not the tub drain. If you're looking for a well appointed property, this likely isn't it. They have some work to do with their facilities. Disappointing. read more

Had a wonderful dinner here at The Pearl! Was here for a bachelorette party with a party of 7, we were seated at a nice high top in the front of the restaurant. We were greeted by the most wonderful server, I can't remember his name but he was great! I had a yummy berry NA drink, and ordered the Isla Chicken for dinner. And omg, everything about this meal was so so good! Can't forget about the yummy bread and salted butter as well. Would love to come back next time in Rosemary Beach! read more

The Pearl Location: Rosemary Beach, FL Shrimp & Grits and Blacken Grouper Sandwich The last day of vacation our vacation group decided to try out a restaurant that was recommended by several of the locals. Brunch was absolutely fantastic and everyone enjoyed their meals. First, I ordered the peach mimosa and GF ordered the violet mimosa. Both were fantastic! For our meals I ordered the shrimp and grits while GF ordered the grouper sandwich. Both were absolutely delicious with super fresh ingredients! The Shrimp and Grits was one of the best I have ever had and the grouper sandwich was well seasoned and super light. If you are visiting Rosemary Beach, definitely give this restaurant a try. read more

First, let me say the rooftop bar at The Pearl is a great experience! Great live music (Joey, a great local guitarist/vocalist was performing and he walks around with his wireless guitar. Awesome!!) Our server Brie was amazing! Super service. We ordered chips and dip. The guac was less than stellar and just basic. The Smoked tuna dip was the best of all 3 apps we ordered. The roasted oysters were very tasty as well. Great view of the cool pool and limited view of the ocean between rooftops. We then proceeded downstars to Havana for a seated dinner of 9 people. There were only about seven tables seated in the entire restaurant. Here is the important thing to remember: Be wary of ordering steak at The Pearl. Several in our party ordered Ribeye steaks. The somewhat thin cut arrived looking great--but the chewiness was a disappointment. One of our guests sent the steak back from overcooking. Over 30 minutes later, we were all done and her steak wasn't even ready yet. She got it to go and it was more done than the first one! It was obvious the person doing the cooking this night didn't know how to properly cook a steak. We are used to thicker steaks. The Pearl is using a much thinner cut and not super quality of meat that you might find at let's say "Chops-Lobster bar" or "Hal's" steakhouses in Atlanta GA. (The prestige reputation of The Pearl does not match the quality of food in the restaurant. This is also evidenced by the 1 star reviews here on Yelp!) Our amazing server Kimberly was the icing on the cake. She was joyous from the moment she arrived at the table and saved the night from a disappointing dining experience for several of us. The entire staff was really helpful including Ben who worked to resolve a payment question. Kristof at the front was a great first impression. read more

It's been a a little over a month now since we stayed at the Pearl. I thought about forgetting about the experience and posting anything on Yelp but I chose to do so for one reason. The lack of Management Attention. I got a survey that seem to come directly from the GM. We shared the experience in detail yet he never replied even to simply say I'm sorry for all the mishaps. Reservations. Maybe the worst experience in years of extensive travel. We had multiple reservations, booked and paid for a suite but ended up in a regular room but still paid about the same. Another room had to switch and move night 2. The hotel. Nice but incredibly disappointing. Talk about the juice not worth the squeeze. Rooms were Ok but gulf front shower was terribly small. There is NO gym onsite. Best way to describe. By far the most paid the least in return. The staff. There are some hero's, the valets, the beach guys, and Abigail and Ann at the front desk. Reservation, the hostesses at the restaurant and management were total opposite, very disappointing,. Again, management never even took a moment to talk to us while there or email or call after. Rosemary - the area is very nice but I would never go back. This maybe the most unfriendly place for kids and babies. Most restaurants wouldn't even let us sit down with a 1 and 3 month old. Some were actually rude to you if you walk to the front door with a baby. read more

If you can afford to stay here, then stay here! Best hotel services. So accommodating and so nice! We brought our baby and they did everything they could to make it a great stay for us. It's also right by the beach, added bonus. read more

Great whiskey selection and bartenders! Apparently I need 85 characters when the first sentence should suffice. So, here goes!

We decided to go try this place after hearing about it from a friend. First of all, this place has great views with huge pours on their wine glasses !! Decent service however too much of a talkative waiter while we just trying to enjoy ourselves and the wonderful view. The cocktails we not really strong and did not taste the best. I would definitely recommend sticking with beer and wine. The shrimp cocktail was very fresh and I enjoyed it ! Overall, this is place is decent for the views and maybe a glass of wine or two however it is a bit pricey. read more

Engineering broke into our room twice, a room that my 5 month old was sleeping separate from my room. Can you even imagine? Their reason: Karen next door was complaining about the sleep machine. This hotel needs to better train their staff on etiquette and safety protocol. Didn't sleep all night. Next night there was a wedding right under room DESPITE never telling us this at check in or even the morning of when they groveled their way to an apology while we were headed to the beach. Again, goes back to training and staff. This place although looks beautiful, is all smoke and mirrors with one little mistake, it can ruin your vacation. Quite frankly this could be a legal issue, read more

We ate at the restaurant and they didn't have many menu choices and the service was slow. However the food was pretty good.

Stayed here for Thanksgiving and loved every second. The rooms are newly renovated and comfy and gorgeous. The service is second to none. Anytime I had a request, the front desk was always super efficient and quick. The turndown service and treats in the evening was a super special touch! We also got a nice little departing gift from the front desk that made me smile! If you are going to Rosemary Beach, staying at the Pearl is a MUST! read more

It's stylish, sophisticated, and seductively urbane bar-elegance at its finest with deep, dark wood and casually relaxed lighting that creates a soothing, inviting mood that will endure in your memory. It's not opulent, but it is luxuriously comfortable - one of those places you "want to be"!and "want to stay" and enjoy and enjoy - like sinking into an overly comfortable leather chair for a well-deserved nap as you pretend to watch football. And while you are there, you must sip on something delicious and refreshing .... The experience will lubricate your soul, recharge your battery, and realign your perspective.. - "In character, in manner, in style, in all the things, the supreme excellence is simplicity." ~Henry Wadsworth Longfellow read more

We were here for our anniversary and had an amazing trip. We are normally workaholics, so this is a much needed getaway. It was absolutely a gorgeous hotel and very intriguing. I loved how it was decorated and laid out. We climbed the winding stairs three floors up to our room. Our room was very clean and beautiful with French doors opening up to a large balcony overlooking the pool. Since it was our anniversary, they had a gift for us and champagne welcoming us to the hotel. Later in the day we walked the boardwalk down towards the beach. It is near the hotel, and a very easy walk. They had hotel chairs on the beach for us to use. Also, along with our reservation, they let us use their hotel bikes for riding around the town and sightseeing. This was an amazing trip and we can hardly wait to get back. I would highly recommend this Hotel and resort for a relaxing getaway. read more

Don't waste your time. book a reservation at another local spot as things fill up quickly in the area. the blonde bartender seemed like she was having a bad day. Rude, "uninviting", and no sense of urgency. also was charged 20% "auto-grat" for "large party". it was six of us at the bar. obviously why they don't care to show hospitality, as they just auto-grat when they think they can get away with it. wife and I have roughly 40 successful years combined in the industry and walked away highly offended. This experience was for the havana rooftop bar section of the hotel. read more

Giving 2 stars as this is my experience thus far. May change if experience becomes better. This place has kind employees. However they seem to be in some miscommunication with each other. We placed a couple calls to concierge, room service, and questions asked didn't line up with what the other ones said. For example. Rooftop bar hours of operation, one employee said that it was open, and when my husband went, they were in fact not open. I also feel as though this place was also very NOT accommodating. A lot of this place isn't very baby/toddler friendly. This is kind of understandable however when you pay a lot for a place you would expect it to be a bit better with that. Not very family friendly. We also got a room with a very lame view. Not sure if they did this on purpose as we had a little one with us? But not nice. My LO is a very good quiet baby. Valet was convenient but no parking area is also pretty inconvenient. read more

We had a wonderful time here, despite being woken up one morning by construction out in the pool area.
