Hubs and I are not complicated people (yeah, right!) I am a Southerner, so I think I've known about The Grand Hotel for a long time. I wanted to stay here for a quick escape from my (albeit wonderful) everyday. I was pretty picky in room selection ~ I wanted a balcony with relaxing chairs (nope ~ not a high top) and a view of water. Our second floor room in the Spa Building delivered perfectly. The Grand has an app listing all the things it offers ~ I can't list them all here. Still the lawn games (bocce, corn hole, ping pong, mini golf) and bicycles merit mention! Don't miss the 3:45 pm history of the hotel and cannon firing! It's expensive to stay here, but it is fun. The grounds do not disappoint ~ the staff miss no detail in keeping this property in top form. Our room was nice ~ but my theory of hotels is that no matter how luxurious the lobby, the rooms are basically the same. Our room is beautifully decorated (calming colors!) and has all the requirements! We so loved our stay!!

I had an excellent day at the Grand Hotel. From check-in to check out, all of the staff were…read moreexceptionally kind, accommodating, and helpful. The hotel itself is beautiful and I feel they've done an excellent job incorporating all the historical aspects of the hotel into a modern day beach resort. All of the amenities were incredible, including the pools. The beach and the views from the room and the old historic hotel were lovely. I picked a room in the historic main building, and I couldn't have been happier with my choice; the beds were comfortable, the room, large, in the bathroom well appointed. This was an exceptional place to stay on the Gulf shore!

He misrepresented the place on the phone a bit. The course we intended to play was closed today and we bailed on our tee time on Saturday bc we were wiped after our 12 hr fishing trip that lasted more like 16 hrs plus. For roughly 10 bucks a man we agreed to walk 9 for something to do. The guy behind the counter said we could walk all we wanted until dark. They had push karts for the clubs which was nice. He gave us ice for our cooler. He warned us to watch for water moccasins near the water. The holes are very close together. The fairways and greens are not well maintained. The roughs are very rough. The cart path was really rough, cracked and broken and turned to gravel in several areas. For $10 we had fun. Our expectations were very low . It wasn't a challenging course. They spent way more on the net surrounding the driving range area than they do on the grounds. Tons of weeds, hard old dry packed sand in the bunkers torn up cart path. We walked 15 before it started getting dark on us. We had fun and the guy was really nice and allowed us to start at 530 -545 when he was leaving at 6 and told us to walk all we wanted for $10.00. That's put put prices. Super cheap and we had fun and the guy was nice. 3 stars. The course itself is maybe a 1 or 2.

Her dreams and expectations were exceeded in every possible way. My daughter and my son in law got engaged two years ago, they both live in Jacksonville, Florida. Since both families live in Baldwin County, they decided to have their wedding here. When we started looking for a venue, we were having a challenging time looking for the perfect place and a reasonable price. Until one day my co-worker told me she went to a wedding at Waters Edge, I right away went online and checked them. I decided to call and make an appointment. We met with Anita, she showed us around the place, and it was perfect they have a gorgeous establishment, covered pavilion with a fireplace for an outside ceremony and on the walkway to the pavilion there is an iron arbor that can be decorated on the day of the event. The property was big enough that you can choose anywhere on the property to have your ceremony. We then went to the reception area (barn) the place was very accommodating with lots of room and a nice bar. It has a rustic look with lots of old memorabilia. We sat with Anita, and we talked about everything that we needed to know. She was very knowledgeable and experienced with events. We discussed our options as a family, and we decided to go with Waters Edge. As the mother of bride, I had so much on my mind and worried about everything after talking with Anita, she made me feel at ease and assured me that she would help us give our daughter an elegant and very memorable wedding for our princess. We met every month to discuss our progress towards the event. At every meeting we discussed what needed to get done. Anita made recommendations for us to adjust as time progressed, she kept me and my daughter on our toes. She was very pleasant to work with and accommodating to all our needs. Anita and her team were amazing!! Also want to say thank you to the bartender Rebecca, her staff and our Disc Jockey (Anita's husband) for keeping the drinks and music going and accommodating our family and designated friends with special drink requests!! The place was amazing, and I would recommend this place to anyone.
