Four Points by Sheraton Destin-Fort Walton Beach

8/10 Good

"Layout of the property was very nice. Loved the two pool options and the outdoor opportunities (seating, cornhole, garden view). Any staff that we had interaction with was very friendly and helpful. Having 3 restaurants onsite is great!! Especially being directly on the beach. Going off site isn’t needed which makes for extra relaxation. "

Hilton Garden Inn Ft. Walton Beach

6/10 Okay

"Beach access is great. Breakfast made to order instead of continental was delicious. Pool & lazy river very nice. The hot tub is a hot mess! Overrun with little kids & NASTY! It was brown & never could get in due to children anyway. The seating area outside is lacking in music/entertainment. They only lit one of the two fire pit tables so everyone was huddled around the one.There is an outside bar area that has music but you can’t here it in seating area over the pool & a/c noise. They never did turn the lights on for ambiance. As for the room, adequate but nothing special. Over all - Not worth the higher price - Meh. "
