WaterColor Inn is a True Four Diamond Resort

Santa Rosa Beach, Florida is commonly called, “the forgotten coast,” because it is not visited as much as other well known places in the Sunshine State. People don’t know that it is as beautiful as other areas of Florida, and once visited you know you have found a hidden paradise. St. Joe Company’s WaterColor Inn & Resort might change this perception, as they are Northwest Florida’s only AAA Four Diamond Resort.

When traveling to a AAA Four Diamond resort you can expect accommodations, service, and ambiance to meet your defined expectations. Most importantly … the food will be remembered for many years. Water Color ensures that you will be able to remember their food because Chef Chris Hastings, owner of Birmingham’s Hot and Hot Fish Club is culinary advisor to St. Joe’s WaterColor.

Chef Chris Hastings not only introduces guests to local seafood eateries, but local fine-dining restaurants as well. Most importantly, the acclaimed Fish Out of Water restaurant at the Water Color Inn & Resort will have you talking about the dishes they prepare with friends and family. In my family we all have a favorite restaurant or meal from vacations past, and we always reference this when planning future vacations.

Chef Chris does take it one step further in regards to culinary delights. He will make sure you remember your meal, and even teach you how to forage and prepare your meal. Yes … I just said, “forage.” To better explain — here is Chef Chris’ quote in the press release, “Our mission on these tours is to forage directly at the source, then enjoy such distinctive local fare as Apalachicola oysters, Alligator Point clams, blue crabs, Tupelo honey and more. We’re foraging in the modern sense, gathering rare experiences with the local people and foods that make Northwest Florida a treasure of the culinary south.” Sounds like fun!
