Perdido Beach Resort

Actually have a condo in Orange Beach so I don’t stay at the hotel but absolutely love to go to their lobby bar with friends for drinks on Friday nights, and really enjoy the piano music.

Three positive things about this place 1. It’s on the beach 2. Comfortable beds 3. Pool is nice. «Breakfast buffet» was cold none of the food was heated just in the silver holders you see at complimentary breakfast at other hotels everything was cold. Maybe not the omelettes which we don’t eat because they are made fresh, but everything else was awful worst breakfast ever we left and went somewhere else. West tower had the worst mildew smell we had to move rooms an hour after we got there because we couldn’t get it to air out any with door open. The front desk sent the housekeeper up with a bottle of febreeze, so I’m sure we haven’t been the first to complain. She walked further in the room and she said oh something is wrong I will go talk to front desk so they moved rooms still in west tower, same issue but just not as strong. Bellhop a were rude and yes you want to use them because they valet the car otherwise the walk is awful. Overpriced!!! Don’t let the word resort in the title temp you it needs some updating and smells. Plenty of other places in the water to stay for same price or cheaper that are much nicer.

Older hotel but extremely nice. Great pool, friendly staff, and on the beach! Love the outdoor food bar. Love the live music that played in the cabana. We sat on balcony and enjoyed it.

I will never stay here again. The food is not good, and it’s expensive. The rooms are dated, dingy, and tiny. The bathroom is so small: you have to stand next to the toilet to be able to close the bathroom door, and the showers and tubs are GROSS. The tile and caulking is from the late 70’s or early 80’s. Check in is at 4PM, no matter how early you make your reservation. Check out is at noon, and they do not offer a late checkout option. Don’t buy anything from the retail stores — their markup is 500%! Vitamin water here is $ 5.50, across the street it was $ 1.25. The wifi cuts out and is practically nonexistent. These rooms are way over priced. 7.5 feet ceilings make it feel like a dungeon.

Stayed here with my boyfriend for a relaxing trip after finals had ended. Had such a relaxing stay. Impressed with amenities, room service was pretty good! Quick courteous polite. Private beach!
The five star rating however is for after I had checked out.
2 incidents
1. After checking out and walking on the beach one last time, I realized I had left my seashell collection in my room. I was THAT girl. The one who leaves everything. They didn’t question me. They got some information and I went happily on my way seashells in hand.
2. That night I get home, and while getting into bed realize something is different. MY TEMPURPEDIC PILLOW. I left it all the way in Alabama. two states over. I called the day after checking out and was directed to house keeping. Shoutout to housekeeping for being prompt and returning my beloved tempurpedic pillow. Yall rock!!!
Will certainly return.

My wife and I were at this resort for the second time this past weekend (4÷23−24) and I think we will continue coming here. As mentioned in my first review, if you get there before your room is ready then no sweat… just hang out at the pool or beach for a few hours. Drink a few beers… then check in after they text you that your room is ready. Once we were notified, I went back to the guest service counter to get our room keys and they informed me that they upgraded out room to a suite… score. Don’t know why, didn’t ask… don’t care! Huge room and bathroom facilities. Courtyard view (pool/​beach) was cool too.
We will defiantly be back and would certainly recommend this resort. Love the access to the beach also.

Good beach front condo… I am booked this August and last stayed here last year. It’s serene & the beach service is fabulous.

The resort was nice and the rooms were clean. The only real negative is that the bathrooms are a bit small, making it hard to easily bathe kiddos. The partial ocean view was great! While you couldn’t easily see the ocean from inside the room, you had a great view from the balcony.
Unfortunately, it rained the majority of our short stay, so we can’t comment on the beach or outdoor swimming areas, but they both looked nice and the beach access was right at on the resort’s property. We did use the indoor pool, which is a bit small, but opens up directly to the outdoor pool (they’re connected).
The resort put on a nice Easter egg hunt for the kids on Easter morning. The staff was great and the kids enjoyed themselves.

Beautiful place to stay!!! Well worth the price for the location alone. Minutes from Florida and Gulf Shores. Great location if you just want to relax or if you want to be out on the go there’s lots to do.

Wasn’t the friendliest resort we have stayed at. The staff (front desk lady) was condescending and acted like she didn’t have time to check us in. The resort was pretty, but there was construction on the beach (which was omitted when I made our reservation). It was loud and made the view to the beach unpleasant. The pool view room was nice. The room was nice and very clean. It’s located in a great spot that’s close to lots of shops and restaurants.

What a Beautiful View to wake up to! The rooms where very clean & comfortable! Cant wait to come back

Incredible customer service, views, and rooms. Really made our vacation special! Mrs. Wiley was fantastic in helping coordinate our special event and won loyal customers for life! The beach was not crowded. You are able to see all of the fishing boats leave in the morning. The kids loved the pool. Definitely worth your money.

Stayed here for a work conference and it was wonderful! The rooms are nice and clean. The beds are amazing. The staff are all so friendly and helpful. I can’t wait to come back!

Stayed here with the family on Labor Day weekend and had a blast. The breakfast buffet was good. They have a great pizza shop in the hotel, which was great for lunch time while on the beach. The room was clean. Check in was smooth in for this time of year. They have a bar right next to the pool. Snack bar by pool was really slow with the service, but had good food. I will be going back this summer.

Was not impressed with the front desk personnel. Need better training when meeting with customers and setting up room account. We had requested a king size bed but was given double bed accommodation with no explanation. Also, did not ask us to establish a house account when arriving so we could not charge back to the room. Management also needs to update their cable tv system… channels were weak. Best part of the stay was our time at the main bar. Place is dated but room was clean.

I really enjoyed my stay here– I give the 2 thumbs up for being 0.1 miles from the beach– I love the beach!!– I can’t wait to return again soon and I don’t won’t to forget how hospitable and personable all the staff 100

My wife and two kids (5,1) stayed here for an extended Fourth of July holiday. We arrived on a Thursday and left on a Sunday. The property itself is a bit dated, but I found the rooms a little more recently refreshed. Our «partial ocean view» was more generous than expected. The staff was very friendly, too.
The Good:
1. The beach is excellent. We usually visit Galveston, TX only because it’s a few minutes from home. But it doesn’t compare. White sand. Clean from trash and debris. Clear water by our standards. In what would otherwise be a three-​star experience, the beach earns this review that fourth star. The beach chair and umbrellas are well worth the $ 30 charge. Staff will reposition the umbrella, take your trash, recommend things to do.
2. The fireworks show wowed. We lounged by the pool and watched with other families. It was a great vibe. People cheering. Since they shoot them from the beach, I’ve never been so close to major fireworks. These are not rinky-​dink rockets from the road-​side stand. These were legit. My family was impressed.
3. My kids wanted pizza the first night there. We’re Italian and have high standards for that sort of thing. I expected cardboard. But what was delivered to our room was pretty darn good. No individual ingredients stood out, but the sum was greater than it’s parts. Came to $ 12 per pie, served right up to our room piping hot. Leftovers in the room fridge let us snack on it the next day.
The Bad:
1. Our room was dirty when we arrived. Really dirty. Under the bed there were 20+ jellybeans, and a tennis ball that had obviously been chewed by a dog (interesting considering that the property doesn’t allow pets). An article of clothing was left in one of the drawers. The desk was covered in a sticky red substance. Flies buzzing, though I realize that can happen with a balcony. Now, after that first impression — which was horrendous — I found the cleaning crew to be competent. But no guest should ever arrive to their room in that state.
2. Breakfast at Latitude 30 was disappointing. It’s priced so well that I guess I can’t really gripe. But the buffet is just sorry. The woman on the omelet station was without skill or care. The pastry tray remained empty the entire time we ate. The syrup was beyond room temperature to the point of tasting chilled (who does that?). Our waitress spilled OJ on our five-​year-​old because she failed to put the lid on. At least she didn’t charge us for it, I guess.
Overall, I’d stay at Perdido again. But more because of the beach proximity and set-​up than the qualities of the resort. The beach and the staff who work it really are remarkable. Those college kids working the sand deserve a raise. They spoiled us. They cared. They were charming. And they made us forget about all the little blips related to the property. Kudos to the guys and girls in those neon yellow shirts.

We booked this after all the other ones were apparently sold out for a last minute trip to stay one night on Friday, May 1^st. Rooms were really nice, bathroom area had two separate sink areas to get ready in, one in the bathroom and one outside the bathroom which is nice. Decent space for a room, fridge and cute balcony to seat two and small table. We had partial gulf view and it was nice overlooking inlet of water and the gulf (not full facing). We had our 7 and 9 year old boys so we only dined in the pizza and ice cream café. Pizza was doughy so don’t order thick crust. Gross. Try thin crust if you must. Ice cream good and they had pitchers of beer or cups for sale in the pizza café. It was foamy and the semi skilled employee had trouble pouring a pitcher with all the foam. It was only Bud Light, so nothing fancy. It was nice that they had towels at the pool area (indoor pool has towels) and a separate grown ups only hot tub from another hot tub for 12 and over. The indoor pool is tiny and you can swim through to the outdoor pool which is really big and lovely. During the day, you can get a towel (one per person) from the attendant outside and write down your room number and then return it or a fee.
It’s right on the beach and you cannot beat that. Just walk out to the water. The louge chairs that you can sit on to face the water that have shade canopy option are a fee based service. So, you can pay the attendant on the beach for use of the lounge chairs on the beach or just use your towel from the hotel pool area for free. Or BYO chairs or blanket. It’s a decent walk out on a HUGE sandy beach with soft sand, so you won’t want to lug a ton of stuff to use on the beach. It’s really beautiful at that part of the beach. We had two stingrays swim right by us and it was creepy!
Parking lot is close to the front but easier to do valet if you wish. We did not try the more upscale restaurant off of the lobby or the bar since we had our children with us. I wish it included a free breakfast, but nope. We knew that ahead of time though and planned accordingly. They have breakfast at the restaurant there, but we had kid snacks with us for breakfast and just went straight out to the beach at 8 am to get beach time in before we had to get back to the room and check out. Check out is NOON which we loved! That extra hour is important! I did appreciate the coffee maker in the room, that was nice.

Just spent the weekend here while in town for a wedding. I was super impressed with the hotel interiors, amenities around the hotel and then the rooms. Nice big lobby windows allow you to see the beach and waves in the background plus a lovely pool area. Sad it was too cold to utilize it.
The room was very spacious with a mini frig + coffee maker. But the bed was off the hook comfortable. And the pillows were great too very full and soft.
We did use the indoor jacuzzi one night — nice way to end the nite.
We had ate most of our meals elsewhere, but on Sat. am we did eat in the main restaurant. For a complete buffet brunch they only charged $ 9.99!
Highly recommend it.

First and foremost, our view was amazing! The price was right — but I guess you get what you pay for.
— The décor was outdated
— The bed was super lumpy
— Pillows needed replacing
— The hvac system was an old and loud single stage system — you can’t set it at a certain temperature and it doesn’t shut off when it reaches desired temperature. Not very efficient. That’s for sure.
— The walls were super thin (you can hear your next door neighbor breathe)
— No exhaust fan in the bathroom.
Since we were there during their ‘off season’, they only had one restaurant opened, Latitude, and I was told by a front desk agent that it was located on the beach level. I went down there, walked around, and nope, it was actually on the same level as the front desk. How do they not know that? Anyway, the food was only ok –there wasn’t much variety to choose from. But the service was really good. Our waitress was very attentive.
The reason I have to give 2 stars is because there was a GIGANTIC cockroach in our room. it was huge and crawling around the room. I called the operator and they sent a nice gentleman from engineering to spray it and send it on its way back to the beach. I can understand that those roaches are cold and seeking warmer shelter, but what a big turn off. Bugs just give me the heebee jeebees, especially big, giant ones. Do I really want to be sleeping with one eye opened hoping one doesn’t crawl all over my face?
Anyway,
gave this place the highest rating among its competitors. I should have checked Unilocal also. It was definitely not what I expected. I definitely would have paid a little extra to stay at the condos up the street near FlorAbama.
