Conveniently located in the SanDestin Beach and Golf Resort. We had a very nice king studio suite. The kitchenette was very good. Nice pool complex. Good walking trails.

Top Notch!!!!
I think this was our fifth stay here. This hotel has everything your family needs. Warm welcome from the lobby,all the amazing views from the balcony, very quiet, clean comfortable beds, kitchen equipped with everything you need, washer dryer in great condition, games and movie dvds all available for rental, game room was the popular feature for the boys, cute movie theater which runs three times a day with a movie that you want, amazing coffee in the lobby, I can go on forever. Silversands outlet and great restaurants are close by. Lots of options to do around the area. Shuttle runs to the beach. It was just top notch!! Love this hotel and we will definately be back for more!

Lovely stay
We’ve stayed here many times and just absolutely love it here. The bay is beautiful and there’s plenty of lounge chairs around the pools and hot tubs. All the rooms are so spacious. The beds are firm.

I loved the location between the beach and the wharf. Whatever way you biked or walked out of the property, it wasn't far to either one. Property was very clean and pretty except the zero gravity pool. Too many babies in diapers left the water gross with flecks of white diapers. Not the hotel's fault. Maybe not at the height of the tourist season it can be kept under control. Room was lovely and clean. The staff is exceptional! You are greeted everytime you enter the lobby and lots of good advise is given. Enjoyed it very much and will return again in the fall!

Beautiful pool area, lovely views from the balcony, clean and comfortable suite with well-equipped kitchen. Friendly staff. Easy access to a nice variety of resort amenities, shopping, and beach. The only thing I found a bit suboptimal was the check-out time. 10:00 a.m. felt awfully early to get cleaned up and out of the suite; 11:00 a.m. would be much easier! Also, we were instructed to take our garbage and recycling down to the compacter in the garage ourselves before leaving. The compacter was somewhat hard to find (and it turned out that garbage and recycling all went in together -- so no need to separate). It's a small thing, but somewhat unusual in our experience. Overall it's a great property and we would definitely rent there again. (In fact, this was already our second time.)

This is a beautiful resort. Doesn't seem like you are staying in a hotel. It's like a apartment. When you check in, they say to you, welcome home. Indeed it feels like home. The front desk clerk Hailey, to the Mgr on duty Anthony, everyone was very friendly. They have shuttle to shuttle you around as well as to the beach. It has a movie room which is cool. I can't say enough about it, this is one of the best hotels I've ever stayed at and I have been to a lot over the years.

There was a glitch with the reservation. The hotel did not have our reservation but fortunately they had a room available. The hotel is perfectly lovely and the staff was very accommodating. But there seemed to be some sort of error between hotels.com website and the hotel actually receiving our reservation.

Rooms were exactly as described! Nice big kitchen for cooking, etc., huge walk-in shower and nice size bedrooms!
