We went to Biloxi for our wedding anniversary. We stayed at the Beau Rivage our first time staying there. The hotel is huge and very pretty, the room we reserved was a panoramic king room which is a corner room with Windows on two sides. We were on the 22nd floor with awesome views of the city, gulf and sunrises. The room was clean and very spacious. They give you free water, Lufas, spare toothbrush kit, shaving kit as well as the usual soaps, shampoos, conditioner and lotions. We also got the Room at a special rate on the Internet because of the sugar bowl. Parking is free for both valet or self park. We would definetly stay there again.

Prices were a little high. $5:35 for a beer
We visited the restaurant in the late afternoon, and what a disappointment! It took about five minutes to get a water and a beer at which time we ordered our food when the drinks were served. We ordered salads and after about 20 minutes we called for the check and told them to cancel our food. The waitress never came by to check on us or let us know what was taking so long. Upon us telling her to cancel, she asked if we wanted her to check on our order that she thought we were next in line. We declined. However, another table that ordered after us had recieved their meals-cooked entrees about five minutes before we cancelled. Will never go there again. Also, overheard another customer sending their food back for not being done.
