Water Color provides a joyful atmosphere for pure relaxation. The staff, and I mean every staff member from the beach, restaurant, valet and front desk are so kind, thoughtful and joyful. It was an amazing place to spend time with friends or family. The price is worth the value of the experience. Try it once, and you will be back for more.

Really an exceptional property with effective employees. There were a few mechanical problems but they were mostly promptly addressed.

Highly recommend WaterColor Inn. Everything was great and they made the stay easy and relaxing. The kids loved the treat suites, and the ability to visit all the pools. The beach was beautiful and just a short walk from the room. We will be back!

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!
