Top Crab Island Hotel Reviews

Motel 6 Destin, FL

4/10 Poor

"Bathroom ceiling was leaking Tub had rust and cracks in it"

The Island Resort at Fort Walton Beach

6/10 Okay

"This is one of the oldest hotels on the island and with that said. It is old. In our room the toilet paper holder and towel holder was broken. The light on the balcony was falling off. It felt clean otherwise. We got a suite for 6 people but only 2 people could eat breakfast for free. Otherwise it’s $25/person for a continental style breakfast. If you plan to rent chairs and umbrellas on the beach there is that option or you have to sit behind 3 rows of them set up which blocks your view of the water. The pool area and outdoor space is nice. Only one of the smaller pools is heated. The outside doors are unlocked during the day and underneath the staircase there was a homeless man sleeping on a blanket with a toilet paper roll next to the area. Felt unsafe going up and down the stairwell. A nice stay for a short trip but wouldn’t stay here for a longer."

Harbor Suites at Harborwalk Village

8/10 Good

"The room was very clean; however, there was a lack of any sort of broom/dustpan and zero paper towels available when arriving. We opted to avoid any room service during the stay, and the lack of broom made it difficult to keep sand out of the room. We only went to the pool one day, we were honestly a little underwhelmed with the size of the pool - I can't imagine how cramped the pool would seem during more peak times of the year. We had to do a last minute audible on where we were staying (going from a beach rental to a property located on the harbor), and we were absolutely not disappointed with the beach shuttle service - but I could see there being some requests for it to run later as it ended around 5-6 PM. Location of the property offered A LOT to do during the trip regardless of external weather conditions. There seemed to be a lot to do in the area for many different crowds/ages. Never been to a spa or had a professional massage before, but the Emerald Grande set the bar high for future spas/massages with their paid on site services. Renovations made getting into the Harbor Suites room restricted/odd, with the only entrance/exit to the floor the rooms are located on being the parking garage. I could see this being a safety concern as the parking garage itself was available to the public (with levels 3 and above requiring a room key to access via a car). If I were a female patron, I'd have been more concerned always having to go through the parking garage."
