Staff is fantastic. Grounds are immaculate. Such a treat on the gulf coast. Some units are better equipped than others but nothing too inconvenient. We’ve been coming here for years.

Just visited to play golf so I cannot speak to the resort or accommodations. Played on 12/29 and was easily the most wind I've played in. Staff was very friendly and course was in great shape. Pace of play was great but I'm sure the temp and wind kept some away. Always enjoy playing the course even in the tough conditions. Photos don't really capture the severity of the wind today.

Kiva Dunes Beach Resort is a slice of paradise on the Alabama Gulf Coast. From the moment you arrive, the peaceful atmosphere, pristine beaches, and beautifully maintained grounds make it clear you’re in for something special. The accommodations are spacious, stylish, and thoughtfully appointed—perfect for families, couples, or solo travelers looking to unwind. The private beach access is a dream: soft white sand, gentle waves, and plenty of space to soak up the sun without the crowds. The resort amenities—from the pools and fitness center to the on-site restaurant—are top-notch, and the staf…

My brother-in-law played golf in October. Got a tee time, got there Valet put golf clubs on cart. Got to first tee, marshal told us when our time was. Hit ball off first tee, clubs were not strapped down, my clubs fell off, damaged my carbon driver. The marshal said go to clubhouse, let them know what happen. I did after we were done, explaining what happened, said,"what do you want me to do?" I told him the course marshal told me to come in and let you know me driver was damaged. Looked at me like I had a third eye on my forehead. Not happy, but next time, I tip a valet to put my clubs on the…

This condo is 115b and is awesome! Tiled floors through out, 3bed/3bath, large balcony overlooking the golf ⛳️ course, and lots of beach access. They close the pool area and bar for 3 months, starting in December. I have visited twice now in November. Off season is the best for me to avoid crowds and kids. So much tranquility with the sound of the ocean and exploring.

Kiva Dunes Resort deserves every bit of a five-star review. We’ve been staying in the Beach Cottages every year, and it’s become a cherished family tradition. The cottages are spacious, beautifully maintained, and offer unbeatable access to the beach with stunning views like the one we wake up to every morning. The peaceful, private atmosphere makes it feel like a hidden paradise away from the crowds. The resort’s grounds are immaculate, with lush landscaping and well-kept amenities like the pools and tennis courts. The beach itself is clean, quiet, and perfect for families or couples looking…

I didn't stay at the hotel, but played their golf course designed by Mr. Arnold Palmer. The course was amazing. The the clubhouse restaurant served a great breakfast at an excellent price for the amount of food served. The staff was friendly and helpful. The green fees were a little bit pricey for me, but to splurge for a vacation it was worth the price.

I am embarrassed and ashamed of the way that I was treated during the round I played today. I have played golf around the world and never been treated the way that I was treated today unfortunately at the Kiva dunes golf course. I was playing with some people who were not the best golfers however we were scrambling and we shot 73 - 72 and so ultimately Shot good golf however Unfortunately, we got exposed to some people behind us that felt like we were playing too slow despite the fact that they didn’t have to wait to hit any shots throughout the day. Ive played competitive golf since i was 15…
