"With a total of five Mediterranean-inspired towers with two- and three-bedroom condo units, and great views over the beaches to the Gulf of Mexico or Santa Rosa Sound." Full review
DK Eyewitness "The one and only deluxe stay in the entire area, this gorgeous Italian-style resort has all you need. The lovely rooms, all of which overlook the Gulf, are no less than condo apartments."
