Top Big Kahuna's Water and Adventure Park Hotel Reviews

Homewood Suites by Hilton Destin

10/10 Excellent

"Loved our stay. Pool was great and they had a few inflatables to float around on. Community areas were spacious. Great breakfast and helpful breakfast staff. My favorite small detail that I loved was the extra detachable shower head. Helped with all the sand after spending a day at the beach. My only complaint would be the fountain fixture in the hot tub. It needs fixed so you don't get sprayed in the face. Will definitely stay here again."

Home2 Suites By Hilton Destin

10/10 Excellent

"Housekeeping was every other day, but it didn’t have enough towels for two days for three of us."

Days Inn by Wyndham Destin

10/10 Excellent

"Excelente"

SummerPlace Inn Destin

8/10 Good

"I've stayed here several times both alone on work and with family on vacation. The staff is always friendly. Rooms are usually clean. My last room appeared to be midway through a remodel so carpet was mismatched, patchy paint spackle spots, and cigarette burns throughout. But, was good to lay my head for the night. Pool and hot tub are very nice."

Wingate by Wyndham - Destin FL

"Staff is great. Would return again."

"The condo was absolutely perfect! It is wonderfully decorated and so clean. It had everything that we needed. It has a perfect view of the pool and stunning view the beach. The unit has an assigned covered parking spot which was very nice. The hosts are super nice and very easy to communicate with. We had a couple of questions before and during our stay and they were very quick to respond. They even offer services to make special occasions memorable. They set up some very nice anniversary decorations for us. We would definitely stay here again."

"We had a wonderful stay at this hotel! The room was clean, comfortable, and welcoming, and the entire property was well-maintained. The staff was friendly, helpful, and made us feel right at home. Everything was convenient, and we really appreciated the attention to detail"

Incredible Ocean Views & Beach - The Heart of Destin Action - Walk to the Beach

10/10 Excellent

"Our stay at Terrace of Pelican, Room 803, was wonderful! From the moment we walked in, it felt welcoming. There was a thoughtful welcome note, snacks, a fresh smell, and everything was so clean. The beach towels, beach items, and little travel essentials people often forget made our stay even easier.The owners were amazing. They even messaged us about a seafood festival happening nearby and shared the dates and times so we could check it out. The room looked just like the photos, but the photos can’t capture the warm, home-like feeling our family enjoyed while we were there.Beach is only a quick walk across the parking lot. You walk to some of the most beautiful views in Destin. You absolutely cannot go wrong with this property!It’s a great place for a family vacation or a getaway. I would stay here 1,000 times over! Thank you for making our vacation stay top tier! "
