Top hotels in Cotton Bayou
Hilton Garden Inn Orange Beach Beachfront
Booked a beachfront room and while it technically was facing the beach there was a lazy river and a bar between my room and the ocean. Hard to enjoy the with a bunch of screaming kids and loud music should have been a pool view for sure. probably stay somewhere else next time

Beachside Resort Hotel
I asked for a trash bag they only had the tiny clear extra small ones. No breakfast but they have a pool and u have to walk across the highway to get to the beach . Over all it was a ok stay I wish they would have swept my room I stayed 3 nights and my floor had got very sandy .
