My wife and I stopped here 5 years ago last time we were at DI, and they had cool Knick knacks and…read morewe bought some now-sentimental trinkets. We returned this year and I stopped in to look around again, and the first thing when you walk in is a rack of MAGA Trump hats, and as you look around it becomes evident this is not a business with ethical standards as there is made-in-China cheap Trump junk everywhere. This stuff is not a souvenir, it's not dauphin island oriented, it's just ugly-side political garbage in what should be a themed gift shop. Luckily, there are other gift shops to patronize this trip and future ones, it's just disappointing to see one of our good memory places sunken in the swamp.

I travel all over the country for work. This is probably the WORST customer service experience I…read morehave ever had!! There were two woman working the counter, and both of them were very rude and disrespectful to my children. After sitting in the car and digesting the situation, we decided we didn't want to patronize a local business that was so anti-customer service. We returned to the counter and explained that we don't want to spend money in an establishment that doesn't value their customers and they explained they wouldn't take any exchanges. After explaining our dissatisfaction and telling them we would never be back, she responded, "Good! We don't want you here. We hope you never come back!". So with that, we will never be back, and I seriously hope you see this review and choose to not spend your money where your money isn't wanted!

I would not recommend renting a golf cart from Beach Planet on Dauphin Island…read more When we picked up our golf cart, they had us inspect it before leaving. Like most customers, we assumed this was primarily to make sure the cart was safe to operate, not to document every tiny cosmetic imperfection. There were no safety issues, and we weren't given any checklist or documentation showing the cart's condition before we took possession. When we returned the cart, they pointed out a small scratch and charged us an additional $110. We explained that we did not cause the damage and asked if they had any photos or records showing the cart was scratch-free before we rented it. Their response was simply, "No, we let y'all inspect it." Expecting customers to identify and document every minor cosmetic blemish without providing a condition report, photos, or any record of the cart's pre-rental condition is not a fair business practice. If a company is going to charge customers for damage, they should also have a documented inspection process to establish the condition of the equipment before and after each rental. Our experience left us feeling like the burden of proof was placed entirely on the customer. I would encourage anyone renting from Beach Planet to thoroughly photograph and video every inch of the golf cart before leaving, or consider renting from another company that has a more transparent and documented damage policy. However, we had a fun time with the golf cart.

This is nothing like the New Orleans French Quarter. First off it is way cleaner and smells far…read morebetter. This area is also significantly safer than New Orleans. Now I can see how they were going for a gimmick marketing play here but they missed some elements. The restaurants and businesses here offer nothing French I saw and nothing that resembles New Orleans French Quarter. Panani Pete's offers Italian Panani sandwiches so this seems more like the Italian Quarter. Now parts of the New Orleans French Quarter were known as Little Italy or Little Palermo during the late 19th and early 20th Centuries as so many Sicilian immigrants lived in the French Quarter so maybe the theme is back to that era? The HUGE missing elements here are that they have no ability to allow you to carry your booze about everywhere like properly civilized humans should and they force closing times without any 24/7 establishments serving libations as a joy focused culture should. So I just don't get any sort of French Quarter vibe or joie de vivre required for a place to claim French Quarter status. Perhaps I'm missing something?

Cobblestone streets, music being piped through outdoor speakers, water fountains, flowers…read moreeverywhere and adorable little shops? Are you somewhere in heaven? Yes, pretty much. Welcome to Fairhope's French Quarter. Ahh, this little slice of heaven is in the middle of the beautiful little town of Fairhope. Getting to it is just as nice as being there. It's a pretty drive up and down hilly tree lined streets where duck and geese crossings aren't uncommon. Parking was a little challenging since I wasn't familiar with the area (yet, trust me I came here multiple times on my visit, so I learned quickly) but once I found it, it was a breeze and there are plenty of places to park for free. Once you're inside there so much to see and do, not unlike the New Orleans FQ but on a much smaller and less smelly scale. Cute little shops with clothing, books, restaurants, novelties and art. It's totally worth a visit or twenty and I highly recommend checking it out for yourself. I know I'll be back!
