Best Value hotels below are sorted by price – except hotels rated below average are listed at bottom, regardless of price.
These hotels overlook the Gulf of Mexico. There are no buildings between them and the beach – just the seawall and the boulevard built on top of the seawall. The first floors of most hotels are even with or higher than the seawall.
The seawall is about 100 feet across. Walk across the seawall to the beach, which is 10 to 15 feet lower.

"The hotel and pool area were nice, and the staff was exceptionally friendly and helpful. There were no toiletries in our room, and the problem was quickly resolved. However, there were spots of blood in the bathroom; when we complained to the manager he seemed disinterested, though he did say he'd have it cleaned. The shuttle to the cruise port was miserable, and we weren't told we'd have to make a reservation. The drivers were nice, but we had to wait about a half hour each way. We won't be staying here again.2016-09-25"
