Wavecrest Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"I enjoy the room however the shower was not cleaned there was black dirt or mold around the edge of the glass seams"

The Island Resort at Fort Walton Beach

8/10 Good

"The property is old and you can tell. The room was average, but the bed was actually comfortable. And that's coming from from a pregnant woman who is picky about the mattress. Unfortunately though, we were placed in a room that was right next to the ice machine and it was VERY loud. We could hear it over our ear buds and it woke us up several times throughout the night and early morning as people stopped to get ice. We would've had a much better night's sleep if it weren't for that ice machine. There was an event happening that weekend so we couldn't move rooms without downgrading from our beach view king room. They need to make a dedicated room for that machine. Other than that, the pool and location were great. I liked that it was right on the beach and next to the boardwalk/restaurants and only a 12 minute drive to Destin. The beach water does change day-to-day. When we first arrived, I wasn't impressed with the water and we went to Henderson beach state park instead. On day 3, the water looked a lot clearer and nicer so we got in. Overall, it's a budget resort that gets the job done, but don't expect a fancy 5 star resort like the all inclusive ones in Cancun. There is an extra daily resort fee and $15 daily parking fee currently."

Spark by Hilton Destin

8/10 Good

"The room was nice, clean, so happy they have a microwave and refrigerator! The bathroom not so great, some of the paint in the tubs was peeling off, the toilet the chip paint was coming off, the side of the toilet was particles of dust. There were dust were the blow dry sat. Alot of stains on the side of the tub and the door. I won't come back unfortunately but the staff was sweet and nice and beds and pillow was comfy"
