Because we can all use a little pampering – and it need not be extravagant. The team at The Pearl Hotel believes it’s the little details that create the grandest gestures, so we asked them to share their tips for bringing The Pearl experience right into your home. No doubt you’ll be feeling pampered, relaxed and, well, right at home!
COZY up in your favorite robe and slippers to enjoy breakfast in bed. Our team recommends going for simple, yet classic, breakfast items. Consider fresh fruit, bacon, omelets, waffles or bagels – pour yourself a glass of fresh orange juice for an extra dose of simple luxury (and vitamin C!).
LIGHT a candle to fill your home with your favorite scent. We recommend going with The Pearl’s signature scented candle, available for purchase at Spa Pearl. The hotel’s beach-inspired Marine Sawgrass scent – with crisp green notes, floral undertones of jasmine and lily of the valley, and warm accents of musk and vanilla – will have you feeling relaxed and feeling like the coast is just a short walk away.
DROP slices of fresh fruit into your water for a refreshing afternoon drink. We suggest lemons, oranges, cucumbers or strawberries. You’ll be feeling fancy – and well hydrated!
SERVE your favorite cocktail in a chilled martini glass for a bit of an extra cool flair. Havana Beach Bar & Grill’s head bartender recommends adding a savory garnish too. Jumbo stuffed olives are a Havana Beach favorite for martinis, Bloody Marys and the restaurant’s signature Bloody Maria (made with smoky tequila). The team hand-stuffs the olives with Moody Blue Cheese, which provides a smoky and nutty flavor. Olives not your thing? Try a torched rosemary sprig for the ultimate Rosemary Beach experience; the aromatics provide an ideal pairing for gin cocktails.
TREAT yourself to a sweet bite before bed to experience at-home turndown service. Try leaving a few bite-sized pieces of your favorite chocolate bedside or indulging in a favorite homemade treat.

A distinctly coastal casual-dining experience awaits you atop the Havana Beach Rooftop, The Pearl Hotel’s al-fresco restaurant. Here guests can enjoy Havana Beach Bar & Grill’s award-winning joyful celebration of living, eating and drinking well in a laidback, bistro-style outdoor setting that serves stunning views of the Gulf and of the charming coastal town below. Enjoy tasty tapas with family, take in a Gulf Coast sunset as you toast with friends, gather by one of the firepits, or lounge in a private cabana as you sip on a cocktail, and experience your own dining oasis.
The Rooftop’s delicious menu includes an array of shared plates and hand-held items, as well as lighter fare. Served tapas-style, the menu is intentionally meant to pair perfectly with conversation and is characterized by the flavors of the Gulf, incorporating ingredients sourced locally from local and regional purveyors. Must-try favorites include the Coconut-Crusted Gulf Shrimp, Fish Tacos (made from the freshest daily catch) and the Havana Beach Classic Burger – which guests continue to tout as the area’s best. Additionally, a well-curated drink menu provides access to handcrafted cocktails typically reserved for luxurious bar settings in a casual and friendly atmosphere. Popular Rooftop libations include a White Pear Sangria, El Diablo and the restaurant’s signature Frosé (ideal for sipping under the sun).
“The Rooftop provides a great opportunity to sample the very best of the Gulf Coast – from our views and our flavors to the service that has made The Pearl and Havana Beach Bar & Grill a beloved and welcoming spot for our guests,” says Executive Chef Todd Rogers. “Not only is the food delicious, but you just can’t beat this view for a sunset!”
Whether for a quick happy hour drink, a casual meal shared among family and friends, or an unforgettable gathering under Florida’s sun (and stars), no spot elevates the Gulf Coast dining experience more than the Rooftop – with warmth, hospitality and flavors that are sure to leave you as speechless as the view. We look forward to seeing you there soon!
