Top Gator Beach Hotel Reviews

Comfort Inn & Suites Destin near Henderson Beach

10/10 Excellent

"Great value near the beach! Super clean, comfy beds and perfect for families. Close to restaurants and the harbor, with free breakfast. One of my favorite budget-friendly stays in Destin."

Homewood Suites by Hilton Destin

10/10 Excellent

"Very clean staff was friendly and the breakfast was good."

Hyatt House Destin

10/10 Excellent

"Room was cleaned daily. Staff were really nice. Kitchen had everything. And breakfast was delicious"

The Henderson Beach Resort & Spa

8/10 Good

"So this is the bad: 1. AC went out first night 2. Fridge had to be replaced first night 3. Overcharged me for parking 4. Self parking pass didn’t work after overcharging ( pass is like a room key) 5. Pool water is super hot. 6. Self parking area is small 7. Can’t select hours for renting beach equipment 8. Walls are super thin 9. Unexpected fees, like 30 dollars to park daily, and 50 dollars a day resort fees. The good: 1. Beautiful property 2. Good food for breakfast (especially Sherise) 3. Friendly staff 4. Amazing private beach access 5. Lots of family activity to do 6. Starbucks coffee free all the time 7. Sprinkles cafe is good for a small breakfast. Yes the bad out weighed the good, but it was a nice resort. Wish that fees would have been explained for the resort fees. Expedia and Henderson should work together to have this as a prepaid thing. Then to pay for parking every day is crap. And the taxes to stay there are a bit ridiculous also. The primrose has a good buffet breakfast. Just do that, cause the other breakfast items are eh. And if you can get Ms. Sherise as your server, do so cause she is awesome. Overall we did enjoy our stay, but mostly cause of the beach and events we did. Not because of the Henderson."

3108 Poolside Family Fun ~ Book Aug 3rd ~ Pools ~ Dinging / Bar ~ Gym ~ Hot Tub

10/10 Excellent

"We enjoyed our stay in the villa. It was roomy and clean and what was supplied was very detailed so we knew what to expect. Thank you for the bathroom starter of toothbrush, toothpaste, razor, shaving cream and more. We had our small grandchildren with us and the easy access to the pool and other amenities was so convenient. It was nice to have the option of eating and getting coffee and drinks right at the resort. It was very family friendly atmosphere."

3101 Spring Special Discount Book Mar 6th ~Poolside ~Heated Pool ~Hot Tub

8/10 Good

"The villa that I booked, Villa 1, was 87 degrees HOT when I entered. I couldn't lower the theromstat. I called the property manager who said they would send over the HVAC people. I suggested that I would like to move to another villa where the AC was working properly. I was moved to Villa 11, but first I had to recheck in and visit the front desk for a second time. The AC snafu in Villa 1 and subsequent move to Villa 11 wasted about 1 3/4 hours of my first day at the property."
