Hilton Garden Inn Destin Miramar Beach

10/10 Excellent

"Wi-Fi no funciona bien"

The Lodge 30A

10/10 Excellent

"Nice property. Uniquely designed. Felt like a bit of an upscale cabin with the raw pine everywhere. Smelt great too. Very clean and a great price. Beach access parking was a bit difficult. Overall a great spot."

Hyatt House Destin

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful stay at the Hyatt House. The room was very clean. The bar was very nice and service was great. The pool was clean and well maintained. Overall, fantastic experience! Not too far from the beach either which was a plus! Highly recommend this hotel."

Comfort Inn & Suites Destin near Henderson Beach

10/10 Excellent

"Clean room breakfast was good and the lady’s front desk were really nice and helpful close to the beach and stores"

Wavecrest Lodge

8/10 Good

"Pros: Nice, clean place with easy beach access. Staff were nice. Good location. Cons: I don’t know if they have a strict adherence to the 4:00 check-in time or if housekeeping is understaffed, but we got there between 3-3:30 and couldn’t check in because room wasn’t ready. When we came back a little after 4:00 there still seemed to be some confusion as to whether or not the room was ready, thankfully, it was. Housekeeping didn’t knock on our door the next day until almost 6:00pm! I’ve never been to a hotel where they’ve came by so late. Hotel elevators and corridors were hot & stuffy. The elevators I can understand, but it seems like the only reason the corridors were that way is because the AC is turned off at night? I noticed as the day went on the corridors felt better and then the next morning they would be stuffy again. Pool is pretty small too. It was a nice place though and I would stay here again, but I do think the rating on hotels.com is too high. I would give it an 8, not a 9.2."

Village Inn Destin

10/10 Excellent

"The staff was great and the property was well kept for it to be an older property. They just need some renovation."

Wyndham Garden Fort Walton Beach Destin

"It was a good stay, just one issue and that was the water pressure other than that it was good ."

Hilton Sandestin Beach Golf Resort & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"okey"

Hampton Inn & Suites Destin

8/10 Good

"Stayed 2 nights. Room was very nice, as expected. Clean, comfortable, no issues. Housekeeping did not visit after the first night so you'll have to ask if you want new towels. Walk to the public beach was less than 5 minutes. One restaurant (Back Porch) across the street, but it is very good. Pool area very clean, well kept, water perfect. Weight room was sufficient for 3 people simultaneously, at most. Breakfast had decent variety & coffee is out and available all day."
