The Only Hotel With a Rooftop Pool on Florida’s Emerald Coast.

On the top floor of Hotel Effie, Ara Rooftop Pool & Lounge awaits! Named for the southern constellation, Ara is both a luxurious pool experience and a stylish rooftop lounge where you’ll find the finest wines, hand-crafted artisanal cocktails, and a delicious menu.

Kick back in a private cabana or enjoy a game of life-size chess, Connect 4, or cornhole. After sundown, the fun, relaxing vibe eases into a cool, hip one. And let’s not forget those panoramic views from the top.

I agree with some of the other reviews. We enjoyed the cabana, but anytime we needed a drink or order food to meet the $100 minimum we had to go up to the bar and wait (there were only two bartenders working) so we would bring our own empty glasses up and order after a wait there and also got charged the service fee for staff so didn’t make much sense.

Do not reserve a cabana or a daybed. It is a complete waste of money. The servers wait on everyone else first . We waited over 30 min for service etc and the. Just ended up going to the bar to order food or drinks. For the rentals you have to spend a certain dollar amount on food and drinks, so save your money and just use a lounge chair.

We did the cocktail experience, which we learned was the first one they’ve held. It was so worth it! The food served with the cocktail class was delicious, and our host Kelly (who also works behind the bar at Ara) was a delight. If they offer this experience again I would highly recommend it!

Cool atmosphere, description says able to fit four people but it’s really just a lounge that fits two people at best. I figured for the price we would have had a waiter but instead we had to go up to the bar to order our drinks and food. We also had to return all of our drink glasses and food containers. The gratuity was included and I’m not really sure why since we did most of the work ourselves. The rooftop is great regardless and we will definitely come back but will just sit at the regular chairs as the cabana was definitely not worth an extra $200
