Great little gem. Unfortunately our room was right by the ice machine and elevator. Wish the rooms were a little more sound proof. Also wished the bars and restaurants on site stayed open later (past 9 and 10 respectively)

We just left and did not want to leave! We had a great time at this resort. The property is not only clean, but beautiful. It’s very family friendly and they always have tons of activities from karaoke to watching movies in the pool. The breakfast buffet was phenomenal and they switch it up every day. The food/drink service was fast and delicious. No matter if you’re at the bar, pool, or on the beach, you’ll be sure to receive the same great service all around. I will recommend this place to every single person that asks about Destin and we seriously cannot wait to come back!

We love staying here. The staff are always polite, friendly and helpful. My only complaint is the new parking fees that are added. Why do we have to pay for parking on the hotel property. Also there is a sign on the parking lot stating they are not responsible for your vehicle. If I'm paying to park there I would think that would make them responsible.
