Top Big Kahuna's Water and Adventure Park Hotel Reviews

Home2 Suites By Hilton Destin

10/10 Excellent

"Love the comfort ability"

Club Destin Condos

10/10 Excellent

"Great place and convenient to a lot of places"

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."

Days Inn by Wyndham Destin

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! "
