Wavecrest Lodge

8/10 Good

"The ice machine on the 4th floor was broken and no attempt was made to fix it."

Sleep Inn & Suites Fort Walton Beach - Destin West

10/10 Excellent

"Clean room"

La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Fort Walton Beach

8/10 Good

"Easy check in and the room was clean. The only problem I noticed was that the room was very humid. Everything felt wet. We typically reuse our towels to save energy and water, but they wouldn't even dry enough to reuse them. Our beach towels and swim suits were still damp even after 24 hours of being hung up. Everything thing else was fine."

Hilton Garden Inn Ft. Walton Beach

10/10 Excellent

"We had so much fun and the location was great. The front desk was amazing when we checked in. Being able to go between the pool at the hotel and the pool next door depending on which kid activity was going on at each kept our little one entertained all day. Will be back for sure."

Beal House Fort Walton Beach, Tapestry Collection by Hilton

10/10 Excellent

"Ice machines are on even floors. Everything else was immaculate."

Four Points by Sheraton Destin-Fort Walton Beach

10/10 Excellent

"Four day stay. Grounds are nice. Right on the beach. Two restaurants on site if you’re too sun drained to go out. Location of the actual hotel is good as it’s right off the main roadway to get to the mainland in two minutes, and over to all the other attractions east into Destin. We had the sixth floor balcony luxury suite. The extra large balcony was nice for privacy and just enjoying the view. Dog friendly, which was important. Word of advice, regardless if you see dogs on the beach, they are not allowed. After watching several people out with dogs the first two days, we decided to bring our dog onto the sand. Within 5 minutes we were approached by a passing life guard and informed no dogs on the beach (we didn’t see any signage at the hotel beach access that said otherwise)."
