Bed was comfortable & room was clean. The kids loved the pool. This hotel shares their pool area with the hotel next to them so you get 2 pools, my kids loved going back & forth between them. Breakfast option was great!

I stayed here a few years ago and it was very nice. This time, my bed is damp, the lamps don’t work ( I did turn on the master switch) the bathroom door looks like it has been chewed by a dog, the carpet is dirty and they hallways are a mess. Towels and trash just lying in the hallway. If I could’ve gotten my money back, I sure would have. Fortunately, I am only here for one night. I got two rooms and they are both bad. I feel embarrassed that I have a guest staying in the additional room.

Great family experience!

We had such a great time as a family. From start to finish, the hotel was very nice, clean, staff very friendly, the amenities were great. Plus it is out of the traffic of Destin, but close enough to uber to everything. We also loved going to the Okaloosa Pier and the views were great. We would definitely book here again.

Ocean front, clean and maintained pool, what more can we ask for? The food at the hotel's restaurant was actually AMAZING!!!! We ended up dining in/take out from there very frequently. Staff were very nice and helpful. The only issue was the water damage in the bathroom- the shower curtain was way too short so all the water from the shower should drench the floor. We stayed in the junior suite.
