Buena Vista Motor Coach Resort in Orange Beach, Alabama is an absolutely beautiful upscale RV Resort. We stayed for 45 days. The Good: The indoor pool and hot tub are great for cooler days and the fitness center and clubhouse are well maintained and CLEAN! The reception area offers ice for sale as well as shirts, hats, souvenirs, etc... The restrooms near the indoor pool are also very clean and have showers with body wash, shampoo and conditioner. You must bring your own towel. There is a lazy river with a rock waterfall and has a great water park type slide. The kids will love the lazy river. In the back of the resort near the pickleball courts is a salt water pool that is quiet and out of the way. The sites and roads are all pavers and are large and well appointed with full hookups. The outdoor kitchens with firepit can be reserved and are definitely the way to go. The most impressive thing for us is the friendliness and helpfulness of the staff. Ann, Joe and Melvin in the maintenance and outdoor areas are on point and are at our beckoned call. Louise and Diana in the welcome center have helped made our stay a memorable one. The lake has a resident alligator and the small mouth bass are plentiful for catch and release. There is a back gate for direct access to the miles and miles of trails for hiking, biking and yes, ebikes are welcomed. The beach access is right across the street with very easy access. The Bad: Restaurants are not within walking distance and shopping (while good) is quite spread out. Most attractions are within just a few miles. The Ugly: Buena Vista Resort is expanding rapidly, so the construction noise is every day from 8am to 5pm. They do give us a break on Sat/Sun. Overall BV can't be beat!!

This was our third visit to the resort. We stayed at site 84 twice and this time we picked site 4. Site 4 is at the front of the resort with a screened porch with an upper deck that gives you a glimpse of the Gulf. Even though it is next to the beach road, the noise wasn't bad. We and our two dogs had a great time.

We were in town visiting with friends and had a great time. The park is beautiful and beautifully maintained. We loved the alligator that spent every day sunning on the shore straight across from our site. We rented e-bikes at the office & were able to exit out the back of the resort & spend an afternoon riding the trails in Gulf State Park. We will definitely stay again!

First time at this resort and we completely enjoyed it. Spotless, well-manicured resort with a great outdoor pool area (didn't get around to trying the heated indoor pool). Loved staying in our RV with the house right next to us where our daughter's family stayed. This will become an annual event for us.

This place is beautiful, clean, and so much fun! If you have a class A or a Super C motor coach I would highly recommend. The staff is friendly, the sun sets are amazing and it has awesome wildlife. There's beach access and it backs up to Gulf Shores State Park with easy access to paved trails. With the lazy river, a salt water pool, indoor heated pool and a hot tub there's never a lack of splashing and relaxing to be had.
