The Island Resort at Fort Walton Beach
The hotel went through a quick cheap remodel. It’s half a motel and half hotel. The bartenders are excellent. The access to the beach made the stay worthwhile. The pictures don’t portray the hotel accurately.

Sailport Waterfront Suites
The area was OK not much around that would be walkable.. The pool was kind of small and the pool area was definitely small with dated furniture. It was definitely not enough room for all the buildings. The view was very nice. The sunsets were amazing. The food at the pool bar was OK. You can’t swim ...
