I dont know why people are saying it is across the street from the beach. It is right on the beach. If you stay in the annex...you walk out of your room, down some steps and you are on the beach. The view is to die for. There is also the high rise which is also right on the beach...it... more

After reading the abundance of rave reviews on this motel, I expected the best. I regret that what I found was just about the worst place I've booked in at least the last 10 years. I travel a lot for business and also for pleasure, and I expect certain things when I rent a room. Simply stated, none of the... more

This is the best place we have ever stayed. My husband and I made our first trip to Florida and wanted to see the gulf. We lucked up on a fabulous, clean room with full kitchen and views to die for. Everyone on the staff was absolutely nice as could be. We felt closer to our great God than ever!... more

A beautiful Sunday drive became an impromptu overnight at the El Governor motel. At $100/night walk up rate for a king, it was a fair price for the room and the location- right on the beach! First, you must understand. Mexico Beach is small, quiet and laid back- just the way folks like it around here. If a hot bikini... more

For the past several years, we have made Mexico Beach our only vacation destination in Florida. Although the El Governor is an older hotel, it is very clean and the views are spectacular. Each room has a balcony overlooking the beach. Our room had two double beds and a kitchenette. It is a very safe place to stay, also. The... more

We just returned from a 3 night stay at the El Governor Motel in Mexico Beach, Florida. It was a very good value for a simple, no thrills property. We had a private, ocean front balcony, king bed, small fridge and a microwave. We were so close to the beach we could hear the waves from inside the room. The... more

This was a nice hotel with a great beach location. We visited in the off season and had the place pretty much to ourselves. Rooms were basic, but had microwave and refrig. One thing I did wonder was how they cleaned the dishes that were provided in that I didn't see any replacements on the maids carts. Wireless internet was... more
