With over 40,000 square feet of pools, slides and lazy river action – more than anywhere else on the Gulf Coast – Caribe Resort is wholeheartedly committed to making your stay a ten on the scale of one to superb. Pool-hop until you’ve hit them all, then start right over again (or take a vote among the be-goggled ones and stick with your top two or three). Multiple fitness rooms are set up with lockers, showers and all the right equipment for getting your workout in. Later, reward yourself at the five-star beachfront Cobalt restaurant. Every seat offers waterfront views of the bay and Perdido Pass, and the over-the-top brunch is a sight to behold. Sit inside near the massive windows or grab a table al fresco. For more casual eats, the poolside deli saves the day if your fridge is low on sandwich fixings. You can head back to the condo later and raid the freezer for ice cream treats. Spacious vacation rentals with impressive balcony views make the perfect home base for crashing after action-packed days of jet-skiing, parasailing and all things pool and beach. (There’s water on three sides of the resort!) Book the 53-foot Caribe pontoon cruiser for a memorable evening on the Gulf. And steer the golfers in your group toward the five nearby championship courses (it won’t take much persuading).
