"This is our second time staying at Palm Beach Resort! It is our go to and most recommended spot in Orange beach! Quiet hotel, clean, and accommodative! We cannot wait for our next trip! "

"The stay at CSW went very well! The room was clean, the walk to the beach was very short, and the pool was perfect for our toddler with the walk in low area! I would highly recommend this place to stay at!"

"I booked the condo for various reasons and one was for the outdoor swimming pool but the was construction taking place in the exact same parking lot for a building 500ft beside the location so the pool so not available for use. That sucked being that i couldn’t swim in ocean water and had high hopes of enjoying an outdoor pool. If I had of known before booking than I probably wouldn’t have booked the location"
