Don't stay at Spring Hill, I stay there for work and feel sorry for the people vacationing at that lame arse hotel.

That place is cheesy as all hell.


Yea, other than the very decent restaurant and bar, nice pool, extremely nice rooms, amenities, staff, access to beach, and walking distance to the board walk, there would really be no reason to stay there.

Not sure if you're on a budget or not, but I went last year and we stayed at the Hampton Inn which is next to the Hilton. We had a decent room facing the beach, the beaches or pool weren't crowded, the pool was nice, the staff was great, and the complimentary breakfast was much better than expected. Also, there is a decent sports themed restaurant next door if you need to grab an affordable meal after a day drinking on the beach. Also, the long pier is a walking distance away, and that is a nice thing to do at night if you're with a girl. For our budget, I was very pleased.

Also, we picked one night for 'date night' and made reservations at The Grand Marlin. We had a great table on the water and had a great meal with wine for a little over $100. I highly recommend it.

Oh yeah, on your way back be sure to stop at Joe Patti's Seafood in Pensacola itself. Great seafood market and I picked up a couple of fresh, thick tuna steaks at an awesome price. They have f'n everything at that place.

So is the portofino resort on the beach? We are going in 3 weeks with some friends and the kids. When we booked it, I was under the impression it was on the beach.

It is across the street from the beach, take a look at Google Earth. Some say it is no issue, but when we go out to the beach we probably make a dozen trips back and forth to the room or bar, makes no sense to be that far away if you don't have to.

You may not want to go in the water.... The pictures in the link were taken Monday from the Pensacola area.
