"La habitación estaba bien y el personal muy atento,me gustó mucho que la llave es una pulsera entonces no tienes que preocuparte por donde guardar la tarjeta y también viene unas 10h y pude hacer check-in un poco antes sin ningún problema ni costo adicional.La verdad lo único es que te cobran el estacionamiento por lo demás está bien"

Sundrift Inn

10/10 Excellent

"This property is a jewel! We enjoyed every minute of it! Families will enjoy the pool and easy beach access. Couples and singles are made to feel welcome and safe. We loved sitting on the stools at the end of the beach walkway to watch the sunset and the sunrise. The bar and restaurant were superb with excellent food, spirits, and services. Check-in was seamless. Parking area was under the building, well-lit, and accessible. Our room was quiet, clean, and well appointed. This place is a little piece of paradise in busy Fort Walton Beach. We will be back!"
