Not happy I got charged 3 times when I closed the tab one time? I only ordered 2 drinks and a few shots for about $40 I thought not a $40, $25, and $73 separate charges?! Thought the bartender Joel was nice. Am very curious how my card got used that many times there? I did leave it at the counter unattended for a while. Nice pool. Love the view. Did not buy alcohol for myself.

Atiya Blackwell here, I’m a lover of finding the best spots in town. Over the weekend, I went to the Ara Rooftop Pool & Lounge located in Hotel Effie in the beautiful town of Miramar Beach, FL.
As someone who loves a good rooftop scene, I'm always looking for the ultimate spot. Let me tell you, Ara is great! The setting is tranquil and stunning - the perfect place to have a cocktail with friends and take in the gorgeous surroundings of the North Channel out in the distance. The staff are incredibly friendly and helpful, always making sure your drinks are full and your experience enjoyable. Plus, the drinks here are delicious! My favorite so far is the Grapefruit Spritz.
The vibe at Ara Rooftop is super chilled out, but I’ve noticed they always like to mix it up and with live music, it can turn into quite a party if you're up for it!
Whether you're looking for a relaxing night or an upbeat atmosphere, Ara has it all! From signature drinks to amazing views, great music, and friendly staff, it's an all-around great experience whether you're a local or just visiting. I give it five stars!
Great views overlooking Baytowne and Choctawhatchee Bay. The drink menu is simple but offers tropical/tiki variations on many common cocktails. The bartender was friendly and we enjoyed the open air setting. Prices are little higher than you’ll find at any of the places adjacent in Baytowne, but this spot also isn’t really in the same class
