We were four women staying at Watercolor Inn. This hotel has been on my bucket list for some time and I finally had the chance to visit. The property itself is quite large with the beach club, restaurants, and pools. It was lovely to have access to the 21+ section. We ate at the restaurant on the 2nd floor (Fish Out of Water) and it was pretty good. We ate our other meals in Seaside or Rosemary Beach. The rooms were very spacious. We had two queen beds in each room with lots of space! They give cookies at turn down service and a welcome basket in the room upon arrival. What nice touches!

Drove 8+ hours from FTL to WaterColor Inn with family. Our stay was exceptional! The staff was very friendly and accommodating to our every need. Our room was clean and spacious, I also enjoyed the WaterColor Inn beach bag to use throughout my stay! Our kids spent countless hours at Camp WaterColor and they really enjoyed the complimentary treats suite! The food and experience are expensive so that is something to be aware of. It's a resort that truly shines and we can't wait to return!

The WaterColor Resort is magnificent! The service we received at property restaurants and area activity attractions was impeccable. I cannot imagine staying anywhere else now that we have found this jewel of a resort. We travel with small children and it is a perfect resort for families, but I can see how this would be a great romantic vacation destination as well. You will not find a better vacation spot in the panhandle!
