Top Destin Hotel Reviews

SummerPlace Inn Destin

10/10 Excellent

"Everything was very clean when we arrived. Towels fully stocked and kitchen utensils and BBQ utensils available. The pool is literally right outside the door, and there is a hot tub along with it. Both heated so the pool isn't freezing to go in during late season months. The beach public access is directly across the street, and it is the epitome of Emerald Island white sand beaches. There were ppl there, and they were all respectful, neat and relatively quiet while we were there. We attended concerts while there, and the distance to the location was perfect, so we could stay in the quieter area, but get to the rowdier concert area quickly when we wanted to. Overall a great place, with a great host. We will likely book again for 2027!"

Fairfield Inn & Suites by Marriott Destin

10/10 Excellent

"Room was clean and had a nice balcony with chairs. Check in was easy and she asked if I was a rewards member and got me taken care of. Good location plenty of parking. Cleaning staff friendly. Could hear the people above us running around but wasn't to bad. Breakfast was good but ran out of food about hour before it ended and took a while to get more out there. Would recommend"
