Where We Stayed 

When researching beach cities we came across Rosemary Beach and instantly knew it was where we needed to go. The city is relatively new, developed in 1995, but definitely has an established beach town vibe. There are a lot of options regarding places to stay, but we decided The Pearl Hotel fit our needs best. When we checked in we were gifted the CUTEST welcoming gift with a personalized baby onesie (picuted above)! It was the absolute CUTEST detail and really made an impression on us. Hospitality aside, we loved all the accommodations the Pearl offered. Each day they set up an umbrella and chairs on the beach for us, with complimentary towels and lemonade :) We didn't swim in the pool, but it was adults only, so beautiful and heated! The on-site pool also offered complimentary drinks and services provided by the hotel, which was really nice. Additionally, staying at The Pearl gives you access to 4 other pools located around town! Which I think is awesome if you were looking to switch up your itinerary each day or explore other properties! The hotel has two restaurants on-site, one pool side grill which served quick bites, and The Havana Bar and Grille, a more upscale restaurant for breakfast and dinner. Pro-Tip, we opted for turn down service a couple nights and I'm so glad we did! Each night they would leave baked treats for us in our rooms, everything from warm peanut butter cookies to little red velvet brownies. I was in pregger heaven! The rooms were nice, with awesome views of the ocean. We appreciated the Apple TV with HBO access, which allowed us to watch Game of Thrones on Sunday night, priorities, am I rite? Ha-ha!  Overall, we LOVED The Pearl Hotel! We would highly recommended it and will definitely be returning guests! 

Where We Ate 
Breakfast 
  • The Donut Hole This place was amazing! Make sure you visit the Donut Hole hungry. The portions are massive and so filling! The Donut Hole has a full service breakfast menu and a quick take out donut counter. 
  • Cowgirl Kitchen This place was also incredible, we ate here twice for breakfast because I LOVED the Chipotle Breakfast Sandwich. This place can get busy, so come early! Also worth noting, they stop serving breakfast at 11 A.M. We almost missed breakfast our second visit, so again, come early! 
Lunch & Dinner
  • La Crema Tapas & Chocolate I think this might have been TC's favorite dinner of the entire trip. The concept is Tapas and fondue chocolate, and it was every bit as amazing as it sounds! We ordered the Crab Cakes, Enfuego Chicken, and Seafood Paella. All were incredible! For desert we split the traditional chocolate fondue and the light layered chocolate. 
  • George's This place was so good! Lots of menu options and a very back-home southern feel. They operate on "beach time" and do not accept reservations, so plan accordingly!
  • Caliza This pool side restaurant is Instagram-photo heaven!A must see when visiting! 
  • The Pearl Havana Beach Bar and Grille This is one of the on-site restaurants at The Pearl Hotel. We loved our breakfast here! The breakfast BLT was awesome! However, dinner was just okay. The service was A+, but the food was over-priced and didn't live up to the hype. If you're looking for a nice dinner, there are a couple other places in town I would suggest. 
  • The Pearl Pool Side Havana Bar we shared lunch here twice and really enjoyed it! The menu has a variety of pool-side food options. We shared the pulled pork sliders one afternoon and a burger the next, both were awesome! The portions were perfect size for sharing as well. 
  • Southside Slice We ordered two-medium pizzas from here to eat while we watched Game of Thrones. Both. Pizzas. Were. Delicious! However, we should have ordered a couple slices a piece, the mediums were massive and we couldn't come close to finishing both! 

 This little getaway was much needed and so relaxing. We honestly had the best time and will definitely be visiting Rosemary Beach again! I hope this quick recap was helpful, if you have any questions comment below or email me! I'm always happy to help!
