Pros: close to beach, great outdoor pool, nice and clean bedroom. Cons: Area around indoor pool was not very clean. Daily parking was expensive. Dining option in hotel was expensive. Some guests were drunk during spring break, it would be good if they had security guards walking around the hotel during that season.

Nice place,

Great facility and location! Surprisingly good food in the restaurant. Beach wasn’t the best or safest—people were fishing right where people were swimming and my daughter got tangled in fishing line. I reported it to staff but they said fishing was allowed and there was nothing they could do. That’s my only complaint, though.

Loved our stay!

Had an amazing time! We loved all of the amenities and easy access to the beach. The garden grill makes the best chicken! And the staff was very friendly. Nick helped us check in and was very enthusiastic and genuinely friendly. Whenever he saw us during our stay he went out of our way to ask us how everything was. What a nice first impression of Destin! We are excited to return with more family members next time!

So upon arriving to the hotel, i was greeted by pure professional and friendly staff members. The lobby was clean, spacious and gorgeous views of the pool. The room was clean and very spacious. I had the king bed with a bunk bed and nice size balcony facing the ocean. I had no problems checking in, staying and checking out.
