Best family stay at the beach!
Submitted: August 2, 2012
Stayed: July 2012
Mom, Dad, son, daughter, Grammy, and Granddad stayed for a week and lived like kings. Las Palmas is an amazing complex and Randy and Lisa keep their unit in the best shape of any I've ever seen. The decor is up-to-date and refreshing. They provide a fully furnished kitchen, and that's an understatement! The two pools in the center of the complex were so clean and very well maintained. We grilled out on the charcoal grills that were so nice they honestly seemed brand new. The beach is very well maintained and directly across the street which is actually very nice. When you've had a long day at the beach with all the other tourists, you're almost home already and you can get out of sight of the loud beach crowd. Just down the street (0.97 mile) was The Hangout, a family-friendly restaurant/event that hosts a Pirates and Princesses breakfast every morning complete with a Pirate-led treasure hunt that my kids loved. The food was amazing (All-You-Can-Eat) and kids eat FREE! (Adults were only $12.00). Oysters on the half shell at Wintzell's Oyster House in Orange Beach should NOT be missed. The kids loved the family atmosphere and the trigger fish was to die for. Dinner one night at Di Pomodoro just 3 miles up the road was a quaint Italian restauran with an amazing wine selection and some of the best prices I've ever seen. The Frutti di Mare is amazing, but spicy!
The owners checked in with us a few times during the week via email to make sure everything was going well. We had no issues of any kind but I really got the feeling if we had, they'd go out of their way to make it right. We've already picked our week for next year and can't wait to come back not only to Gulf Shores, but to this property and do it all again. Thanks, Randy and Lisa for helping to make our family vacation the best yet.
