What guests think

At Barefoot Beach Club, guests praise the direct beachfront setting and walkable access to John’s Pass, friendly staff, and many refreshed rooms with kitchenettes or suites, plus a pool, hot tub and a rooftop area for sunset views.

Most find the accommodations clean and comfortable, with balconies and gulf views enhancing the stay. Common drawbacks include ongoing post-storm construction, slow or occasionally inoperable elevators, limited on-site food or vending, the basket-style housekeeping instead of daily service, intermittent noise around the pool, and sporadic cleanliness or pest issues. Overall, expect a relaxed, beach-first stay with easy access to nearby dining and activities.

Beach view was amazing. Half way through our stay the only elevator was closed for repairs to the floor and did not reopen the remainder of our trip. We were not told anything or asked if this was a hardship for us. We struggled with the stairs and when we asked were told every time it would be open in the morning. It was still closed when we left and had to carry all our luggage down the stairs. We were disappointed that no one ever asked if we needed help.

We had another nice stay at Barefoot. Love the pool, the beach, the office staff, and the walking distance to John's Pass. The parking situation remains tough with most of the spaces being very tight. It would be nice to have the pool heated. The rooms are good, though it's a shame the main building on the beach doesn't have enough space for 2 queens. And like all of the other hotels, the resort fee sucks.

We really enjoyed our stay here! It was a beautiful property with updated rooms, very quiet too! The view from our premium room was amazing, The floors could have been a little cleaner, and one of the bathrooms had some feces on the wall & toilet that could have been cleaned better, they were small and easy to miss, but still should have been cleaned. And even though there are signs everywhere that you can't smoke or vape on property, we did have somebody smoking on their balcony. The staff did everything they could help find the culprits but they were being sneaky. Other than that it was an amazing stay. We will probably be back!

The Barefoot Beach Club is in an amazing location on the beach and the staff is very friendly and helpful. Our room had an amazing view of the beach! They found a wine bottle opener and brought it to the room for us. However, the hotel needs some TLC. The ceiling fan was caked with dust and clearly hasn’t been cleaned in a while. The concert floors where we entered the hotel were previously painted and it was chipped and worn, in desperate need of fresh paint. The elevator was dirty and the rug was long overdue for cleaning.

The utensil tray was stored in the microwave which I overlooked at first. Found one knife in that tray that had peanut butter on it. Other than that, the room was really cleaned and updated.

Elevator was out when I left to checkout but I was only on 2nd floor so not a big deal but I’m pretty sure I saw a cockroach in the morning and then a huge dead one in the track of patio door . Other than that staff was very nice and the pool was nice. Great walking distance to John’s Pass and places to eat .

We truly enjoyed our getaway at Barefoot Beach Club. Room was spotless when we arrived and everything looked brand new, which maybe it was! Staff were very accommodating. Some renovations were still in progress, but they didn’t affect our stay. One of the staff members told us the pools were full of sand after the hurricanes, so wow, they really worked hard to get the place ready for spring break time! Loved the pools and the beach, of course! Lots of pool chair availability and optional shade. The hot tub wasn’t heating for a day or so, but was fixed within a reasonable timeframe. The roof is an excellent place to watch the sunset. Walkable to abundant shopping and restaurants (our daughter and her friends loved that feature). We stayed on second floor in the 2-bedroom suite area and loved having quick access to the outside via stairs. The elevator seems to take a while. Kitchen was perfect, and we didn’t have to spend money on restaurants because we cooked our own food, purchased at Walmart. The fridge and freezer were huge. Cleaning service came in halfway through our stay (we were there 11 days), which was good for us. Every day, we could “order” supplies such as paper towel, bath towels, shampoo, etc. That was super convenient! Finally, just a note that the TVs in our suite (number 23) are not “smart” TVs, but that wasn’t a big deal to us. The place welcomes families, but we saw mostly adults. We give this place a big thumbs up and I’m sure we will return!

Loved the location, as it was within walking distance to John's Pass for shopping and dining options. Also liked the use of the basket system for any supplies, toiletries you may need, instead of the staff coming into your room to fulfill the items. Biggest downfall for us, were the mattresses. VERY firm and uncomfortable, thankfully we were able to nap by the pool and on the beach. Would still recommend for a long weekend getaway

This was our first time at Barefoot Beach Club and it won’t be our last. Our room was very clean and stocked well with toiletries, towels and starters in the kitchenette. The beach was awesome and easily accessible. The pool area was very nice and readily available and the grill area was terrific! First time ever in all our years travelling where the grills were cleaned! Our only complaint was that it was clearly marked that the property was smoking and vaping free but sadly there were guests that disregarded those rules. We would have liked the staff to enforce the no smoking/vaping rules.

The pool was excellent, and all the staff were nice. My son lost his wallet and the Jermey who works there called me and mailed it to us! We will stay here again!

This was great place to stay for our family for SB. Great location with easy access to Johns Pass and right to the beach. Beautiful views. Reason for no 5 star due to us calling months in advance for a crib for our child and they overbooked cribs when we arrived. Luckily they made it right and went out to rent a crib so our kid had a place to sleep. Highly recommend this place.

Location is great but as others said the rest is to be desired. The clientele especially on weekends is pretty loud and level of intoxication is high. The property itself has a feel of a motel. I did like their model of a basket replacing towels and other toiletries every morning. Being on the beach is super super convenient and the beach is great. Lots of dining options within walking distance. The hotel did charge us full price for the stay after we prepaid through Expedia in full and it took some time to get the money back. Watch out for that as they charged me on the first day of my credit card cycle with my luck and I haven’t noticed for several weeks and took another couple weeks to get a refund.
