Hotel Amenities
We’re all about fun here at the Holiday Inn Resort Pensacola Beach Hotel, and you’ll feel it from the front desk to the pool deck. Our pool is the best on the beach, with cascading waterfalls and a 250-foot seasonally heated Lazy River. There’s no reason to leave the resort, with Riptides Sports Grill and Beachfront Tiki Bar serving up delicious dining and crafty cocktails seven days a week. Every summer, our mermaids come out to swim and pirates come out to play. We also host live music on our pool deck every weekend with a crawfish boil under the tiki for lunch on Saturdays.
