Beal House Fort Walton Beach, Tapestry Collection by Hilton

10/10 Excellent

"A."

The Island Resort at Fort Walton Beach

10/10 Excellent

"The island resort was beautiful! We went for a girls trip and it did not disappoint. It's perfectly located, so it was super easy going back and forth to Destin. The rooms are nicely decorated and had a walk in shower. The resort property was well kept and updated. The buffet breakfast was average, but it was hot and they did have a few options. However, there are plenty of restaurants within walking distance and just even more just a short drive up the main road. Be sure to pay attention to closing times when planning activities. All resort restaurants, bars, and food trucks are not all open late or available every day of the week. We totally recommend this hotel for a beach getaway and will be back soon."
