WaterColor Inn & Resort

First of all, Randy, my guy….He’s been amazing both this time and the last time we came. We really appreciate him. In 2024, Randy talked my wife and friends off a ledge after a hurricane looked like it might hit the week we were staying there. When my wife expressed concern about the weather, he basically responded with “rain, what rain? My report shows sun and clear skies”. This time, he also took the time to show our daughters the “treasure chest” with the “sea babies” that was awesome. Our girls loved it. Olivia, also amazing, she even helped us get stuff set up for our oldest daughter’s birthday, hand-delivered some plates and utensils to our room… she was so kind. Thank you! We appreciate you and the help getting our daughter’s cookie cake all set up :). Sam, at the bar, really great and very personable. She handled a couple of the entitled “guests” with kindness and a smile, even though they didn’t deserve it. Sam, we hope your trip back to Mexico goes well and that you’ll be back next summer. Theo, very kind and attentive, also the second year we’ve had the opportunity to chat with him. Glad Theo is there to help. Brandon and Jared helped us with our arrival, toting around bags, setting up bikes, and our departure. I won’t even say they were great, they were far beyond great. I also appreciated that they seemed like a couple of guys we’d have a beer and watch a game with. They were very professional, but also real with me and didn’t make it feel “stuffy”. All in all, it was an amazing trip, it’s so great that everyone there treats you like family. I know there were several others we interacted with and just didn’t catch everyone’s name. Thank y’all for smiling and being so polite. The entire team is the reason we keep coming back.

Writing this review to let you know how amazing your staff at the front desk was to me on Thursday 7/24/25 around 530pm after Booking.com attempted to ruin my vacation with grandkids. After booking didn't confirm my reservation with Phoenix properties, I had to find other accommodations. I pulled up to your resort and you staff was so helpful and loving. Although they couldn't find accommodations the smiles on there face were perfect.

The lavender mist was very relaxing for the pillows and I loved every minute of it. As soon as I can rob a bank I will be back for a stay

Pleasant, laid back vibe. You can easily walk or bike to many places; but, if you want to venture further it’s an easy drive to many other locations: Watersound, Rosemary, & Alys beaches, as well as shopping in Sandestin. The rooms are comfortable (no desks though for those who still need to do some work, and no business center), bathrooms have nice, big showers with dual shower heads and double sink vanities. The staff we encountered were all fantastic :-) This was our first stay at Watercolor Inn and we would not hesitate to return!

Our stay here was truly amazing. We actually stayed here one night before a stay at another resort, but we missed Watercolor Inn so much, we revised our reservation and moved back! I took my three children while my husband oversaw some home renovations. I thought it would be a chaotic trip, but the staff and accommodations here made everything so easy. The hotel staff accommodated an early check-in for my child's naptime, which started our trip out with such a relief. Even if they cannot do an early check in, they hold your bags while you can get started enjoying the amenities. The pull-out couch had everything we needed to get setup upon arrival and it was so big that all three kiddos napped on it one day. The beach was so insanely close to our back door as well as the pool that getting the kids out and about to start the fun was a breeze. The food and drink options for both the children and myself were perfect. The staff was always offering to help open doors, carry bags, bring food/drink to whatever table was easiest, etc. They were also very patient with my young children being a bit loud and overly excited the entire trip! We took the trolley to Camp Watercolor, which again, was just so easy and fun. We walked to get coffee and lizard hunt each morning. We listened to live music overlooking the pool while we enjoyed Shirly Temples. It was all dreamy! The bathroom had a double vanity and a very large shower making washing the day off and preparing for bedtime so easy. We had a mini fridge for their milk, and there was a Treat Suite for anytime the kiddos needed a snack between meals. I am telling you- this hotel thought of EVERYTHING! They even had Uno in the room for our last night when it rained. We didn't want to leave, and we got back yesterday and already want to come back. The trip would not have been what it was without the staff at the front desk to help answer all my questions, the valet team who helped with so much and even had our car pulled up at the front of the hotel for our 5am departure the last morning, and the restaurant/bar staff who whipped up both a double shot espresso and Shirly Temples with Sweedish Fish swimming in them when I needed a moment of peace!
