    The property was amazing. Location and amenities were perfect. Daily cleaning and nightly turndown service were great. Everything you could imagine was provided- bikes, trolleys, 10 pools, everything you need was provided

    No issues or complaints

    7ALBERTPosted on: 4-9-2025

    Food was good service was quick . Fairly easy to nat

    Room 218 assigned obstructed view located over massive pool equipment, limited privacy . Apparently Booking. Com and Water color inn have a different understanding of accommodations. The resort claims Bookings at fault for the room mix up . Probably better to book directly

    This hotel exceeded all expectations. The staff were friendly and helpful the entire stay. The hotel is beautiful and easy to get around. An easy vacation with or without children.

    The rooms were beautiful and extremely comfortable. Staff was excellent and the restaurant FISH out of water was also excellent

    10KrisPosted on: 10-27-2024

    Beautiful seaside resort, very comfortable rooms, nice dining, great beachfront, lots of shopping, restaurants and activities in Water Color and nearby Rosemary Beach. Staff were courteous and helpful.

    10BrentPosted on: 9-10-2024

    Perfect location for a short beach trip to 30A. The views of the Gulf from the 3rd and 4th floor rooms can't be beat. Easy access to the beach via the boardwalk over the dunes and access to four different pools on the property in addition to Camp Watercolor a short bike ride away. Wonderful dining options within the hotel with Gather and FOOW

    All you needed! Beach, pool, restaurants

    My husband and I were so pleased with the resort. It was a perfect way to spend our 49th anniversary. The staff was very attentive and pleasant. Great place would definitely recommend it.

    10BonniePosted on: 3-30-2024

    Proximity to the beach, treat suite and access to inn only pool. Staff was wonderful and inn is big enough yet small enough to make it just right.

    Trash can too small

    Liked the proximity to the Wine Festival and shops. Liked the staff who waited on us "hand and foot" especially Cecilia. The room was clean, airy, and bright. The shower stall was amazing. The shampoo, conditioners and body cream provided were a pleasant touch. Didn't use the coupon provided for the nearby shops but did rent some "free" DVD's. Dined at The Pescado and Paradis restaurants, liking the Paradis over the Pescado even though the view from the Pescado was very memorable watching the sunset occur during dinner.

    The room was pricey for that time of year. The bikes had handle problems. The light switches in the rooms were confusing. The only DVD player was in the living room which we had to hook up ourselves. The couches were too big and soft for our liking, our legs and lower backs were not supported unless you scrunched way back into the couches. the room was on the first floor so we didn't feel we had privacy and kept the window shades on the street, back maser bedroom closed all the time.

    Best location in Watercolor/Seaside right on the beach and easy walking distance to shops/restaurants. Ocean views from the rooms (3rd and 4th floors have the best views)

    You have to wait in line each morning for a beach chair and it costs $75. The beach is also really crowded

    10AmandaPosted on: 4-30-2023

    Staff was excellent & v pleasant to us. The food was great. It was v relaxing & comfortable.Beach was great. It was convenient was walk most places.

    Weather didn’t cooperate. One day it rained all day. Since we only had three nights, that was disappointing.
