Best TimeIdeal during the summer months (May to September), with the peak hour between 6:00 PM and 8:30 PM. The low sunset rays paint the expansive H2O pool lounge beautifully; sit in a built-in water cabana and enjoy live poolside music as the silhouette of Deer Island fades into twilight.
Getting TherePerched at the easternmost point of the strip at 151 Beach Boulevard. Drive east on US-90 E until you hit the base of the Ocean Springs Bridge; the resort is on your right. Features a comprehensive, multi-story attached free parking garage behind the casino floor.
Travel Tips
- The signature H2O pool venue transforms into a strictly 21+ adult-only concert zone during summer weekends; family travelers must verify restricted kids-allowed hours with management.
- The turning throat from US-90 to the front entrance is highly compressed near the Biloxi Bay Bridge descent; merge early into the far-right deceleration lane to prevent rear-end impacts.
- Situated at the easternmost peninsula tip, open lots experience relentless corrosive salt spray and offshore winds; utilize the covered garage cores for vehicle storage exceeding 48 hours.
Reviews
Positive
- The H2O pool lounge is designed like an oasis with upscale loungers, fire pits, and an outdoor bar, offering an amazing summer night vibe.
- The room views live up to the name, offering a direct look at the wide Biloxi Bay and beautiful sunsets; rooms are clean with cozy mattresses.
- The on-site Morton's Steakhouse maintains its usual high standards; staff service is highly professional, making it worth the premium price.
- Driving access is very convenient near the bridge exit, and it features ample free covered garage parking, ensuring vehicle safety.
Heads up
- The hotel building is showing its age; elevators operate slowly, and corridor carpets have a residual smoke smell during heavy weekend crowds.
- The air circulation in the smoking casino sections is quite poor, the ventilation fails to keep up, causing discomfort for non-smokers.
- Lines during peak weekend check-in and check-out times are extremely long, lacking efficient crowd control in the lobby.
- The maintenance frequency of public restrooms drops during high tourist density; paper towels aren't refilled quickly enough.
