The staff was fantastic. Very accommodating and friendly.
Ricardo, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Perfect

Our stay was perfect. The Hotel was clean, and our room was clean and smelled fresh. The staff was amazing. Shaula at the front desk was friendly and very helpful. Maria had breakfast hot and ready every morning which was delicious. Maria was constantly cleaning and was very helpful if we needed anything during breakfast. We had a great experience. We could not ask for anything better.
TIMOTHY, 8-night trip

8/10 Very good

Our stay was nice. Great location to the activities we wanted to participate in. The room was warmer than we’d like and housekeeping wasn’t great. I would choose to stay again, though. The overall experience was good.

Great stay

Young man at front desk was very polite. Perfect location for a one night stay. The restaurant “ the shack “ across the street was amazing and we were also able to watch the sunset from the dock. Very clean hotel!

All the staff was very friendly and welcoming! The rooms were very clean and comfy.... made me feel like I was at home! The free continental breakfast in the morning had plenty of delicious options, for adults and kids both. Will most definitely stay here again when Im in Destin!

Great place to stay with amazing staff!

Staff is super friendly & even gave us a key card to use the laundry room after checkout. This was much appreciated as our wet towels from the beach would've made our ride home pretty smelly. THANK YOU so much for making sure our drive back home wasn't musty. 😜 The room, breakfast, & pool were amazing! Staff went above & beyond and were extremely courteous!

Okay stay

The breakfast was okay. The room was nice and comfortable. A janitorial manager entered my room before I could answer the door and my wife was undressed.

Excellent stay!

I was hesitant to stay here with my family because of some of the reviews of bed sheets not being changed. I took the chance and glad we did. We took our family and don't have any complaints. Housekeeping was there to service our rooms and brought in clean sheets while we were walking out to go to the beach. It looked like the housekeeping supervisor was with them and they did an amazing job. Rooms looked great after a long day, beds were perfectly made and refreshed. I can't express how great their housekeeping staff was. Breakfast was great, lots of options, from cereal, pancakes, cinnamon rolls,bagels to eggs and sausage. That was a plus for us with traveling with little kids and not having to rush them around to go eat out. Pool was nice to visit. Also, needed more blankets and sheets for the pull out bed and the front desk brought these up for us. I'm not sure where the bad reviews are coming from because we obviously had a much different stay than some of y'all. Great location, easy access, 10 minutes away from Okaloosa beach. Will definitely stay again in the future.
