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.

My husband and I stayed at this hotel for 4 days. We had a great time! It is right off the beach. The pool area is big and there are plenty of chairs. Each employee that we encountered were helpful, kind, and friendly. We will definitely be back.

The first room was dirty had to request to change room second room has power issues and the night stand was falling off the wall request to change room. The rooms are old needs to be upgrade. The pool was great and close to beach. Should have a water dispenser in the lobby, like the holiday hotel resort had.
