Spectrum – Turquoise Place

At first sight the two towers that are the spectrum turquoise dominate the Orange Beach Skyline. Visually the entire resort is beautiful, luxurious, and it gives you the feeling of high end.
We arrived on a Saturday evening driving in from Texas and pulled into the parking garage of the complex. We soon discovered our room key was not present. Why was this? The answer is that each condo within the resort are individually owned, either by individual owners for investment purpose or by real estate companies also looking to make money. Our specific room happened to be owned by a real estate company. You see the spectrum does not control the internal going ons within each room. The real estate office did not drop off our key to security for us to pick up. We called to find out that the real estate office closes at 5 on Saturday. What the heck! We almost were left without a room if it were not for the kind efforts of one security person that opened the room with his master key. He even offered to come back by to let us in that night if we wanted to leave and grab a bite to eat. On this note, way to go spectrum for hiring a top notch security team with customer service savvy. So be warned if you stay here, double check your not doing business with POS real estate offices.
Besides the mishap with the room key we had little trouble or problems with the spectrum. (The smoke detector ran out of battery one night and started beeping but that can happen to anyone)
As for the positives, the spectrum has 4 different pool facilities, 2 outdoor pools, one indoor pool with two hot tubs, and then a lazy river! It also has two private entry walkways to the beach with showers and it’s own chair umbrella service. The spectrum also has a work out room with sauna and steamroom.
Our rooms were huge and the kitchen along with its appliances. The balcony was probably the best part with gas grill and private jacuzzi.
Overall the spectrum is really nice and has great services and amenities. However the real estate companies that own some of the rooms are terrible so hold out and don’t rent with them.

We are spending Spring Break here in this plush condo. Floor to ceiling wall to wall windows over look the Gulf Shores. Top of the line Wolf appliances in our gourmet kitchen. Short walk to the ocean in soft white sand. It’s the place for a perfect retreat in USA. I highly recommend it.

Nicest condominium in all of Gulf Shores & Orange Beach. The hot tubs on every single balcony are amazing. The entire inside is beautiful. I could not recommend a better place to stay.

My friends please listen to me if you are looking for the perfect place to escape and that covers all your needs. It is not inexpensive but it surely what you desire to get away and have all the necessary extras for the perfect vacation.
For the citizens of New Orleans it takes about a half tank of gasoline to arrive at Orange Beach, Al. You pack your car with the necessary food and booze and three and a half hours later you have arrived.
You need not worry about anything else. All the dishes, glass ware, ice, wine coolers, bread warmers, anything else is there and waiting for you. It is near perfect and you do not have to deal with the TSA to travel here.
Besides all the things you need to cook and enjoy your stay is the Jacuzzi on the balcony that is completely private for bathing suits or sans bathing suits and the gas barbecue grill for cooking. All of this that is directly on the Gulf with a clear unobstructed view of the Gulf and access to the Gulf for morning or evening strolls .
Check out the web site and you can see more than what I have written about. The perfect place for a weekend or week’s vacation. For a Honeymoon escape or just to get away for an unbelievable time in paradise from the normal life we live.
This place has my Seal of Approval!

This is the nicest condo on the Gulf Coast. It has a grill and a hot tub on the balcony! It even has a gas fireplace! The only downside is the price:(
