If you want to stay in a luxury condo on the beach in the State of Alabama, then pack your bathing suit and head to Turquoise Place in Orange Beach.
Turquoise Place provides guests with luxurious accommodations just steps away from Alabama's sugar-white beaches. Travel + Leisure Magazine rated Turquoise Place as the best hotel in Alabama.
Resort Lobby
Walking into Turquois Place, it was easy to see why it earned the number one spot. The resort is luxurious and offers guests a home away from home. The resort has 3, 4, and 5 bedroom residences, all with plenty of room for guests to spread out and relax.
I have stayed in a couple of units in Turquoise Place and hope to stay there again in the future.
The three-bedroom units offer 2400 square feet of living space and unparalleled luxury on the beach. Let me take you on a tour of where I have stayed.
The Bedrooms
Guest Bedroom #1 (Unit D-1302)
Guest Bedroom #2 (D-1302)
Master Bedroom With Access To Balcony (D-1302)
Bathrooms
Each bedroom had its own bathroom. The master bathroom was spa-like and had a large glass-enclosed shower, a jacuzzi tub, a double vanity, and a large walk-in closet.
The Kitchen and Dining Area
The gourmet state-of-the-art kitchen had a gas range and SubZero refrigerator.
The unit had a dining table that seats eight, as well as bar stools at the kitchen counter. Plus, there was a dining table outdoor so that guests can dine out on the balcony while watching the sun set over the Gulf of Mexico.
Near the kitchen was a wet bar with a wine refrigerator to keep your bottles at the perfect temperature.
The Living Area
The living area was set up nicely with a sofa, loveseat, and chair with views of the ocean.
For those days when the temperature takes a dip, there's a gas fireplace.
The Private Balcony
Each unit comes equipped with an outdoor grill and hot tub and a glorious view of the Gulf of Mexico.
And for those wet swimsuits, there is a solution - a washer and dryer in the unit. With the washer and dryer, there's no need to overpack.
The Spectrum Club Lounge
Resort guests who book directly through Spectrum enjoy the use of the 5th-floor lounge. Guests are provided with wrist bands that function as a key to both their condo as well as the lounge.
During the morning, breakfast is served. Items available are scrambled eggs and toppings, waffles, oatmeal, muffins, and fruit. Coffee and juice are also available.
Breakfast is served in the lounge from 7 AM until 10 AM.
At noon, the lounge opens up and guests can play billiards, table tennis, board games, and more - it's all included.
Change of Pace Poolside Bar and Grill
The resort has a casual outdoor restaurant at the bottom of the C tower. It's open from 11 AM until 6 PM seasonally and is a great place to grab a bite or adult beverage. Resort guests who charge their purchases to their room receive 10% off. The prices are affordable and the convenience cannot be beaten.

Other Amenities
Other amenities at Turquoise Place include a 450-foot lazy river located on the 4th floor of D-tower, an indoor pool, sauna and steam room, tennis courts, and a fitness center.
Another perk of booking directly through Spectrum is that they provide you with beach towels to use during your stay. In our 3 bedroom unit, we were provided with 6 really nice towels. (This mom appreciated the fact that I did not have to find space to pack beach towels in our luggage.)
Beach Access
One of the best features is the quick and easy access to the beach. Turquoise Place is right on the beach.

Wow how gorgeous! Until this year I had never really thought about going to the beach in Alabama, but it seems like a great place. I will definitely keep Turquoise Place in mind!
I'll admit, I don't think of Alabama as a travel destination. But this place looks amazing! And those shrimp tacos...I'm really hungry now. And the beach there really looks gorgeous!
It's one of the top places to stay in Alabama. I was pleasantly surprised at how good the food was at Change of Pace.
This looks beautiful. I haven't visited the Alabama coast but when I do I will keep this place in mind. Thanks for the recommendation.
When you look at costs, for a little more you can have so much more. It's a great place to stay.
Wow the looks huge, makes sense that the rooms are so spacious, much nicer than the rooms where you feel cooped up. Being so close to the beach sounds amazing!
It is huge! The size is especially nice when there are more than 2 people staying together.
Wow Turquoise Place seems so nice! Thank you so much for the wonderful review!
Great post! I love Turquoise Place! Looks like more than a 5-star hotel. Its convenient beach access route and the washer-dryer facility makes it unique. I would love to stay here when I am in Alabama next, 🙂
