It’ll be hard to wipe the smile off your face at Holiday Inn Pensacola Beach, an oceanfront hotel with one of the best pools on the coast. Situated right on the beach, amenities are abundant on the pool deck and in the sand. Order yourself poolside food and drink service while you float in the 250-foot seasonally heated lazy river. Head down to the beach and park it in your complimentary beach chair. Say “life is good” and really mean it.
