Top Destin-Fort Walton Beach Convention Center Hotel Reviews

Hilton Garden Inn Ft. Walton Beach

8/10 Good

"Our beach view room was lovely"

Hampton Inn Ft. Walton Beach

8/10 Good

"I stayed in room 109 pool view. Which was right across the gate to the pool. Therefore, I spent lots of time relaxing by the pool and walking the pathway to the beach. The pool was perfect temperature even on cooler weather days of 74 degrees. The breakfast changed every morning. Friday was cheese omelette with bacon, 2nd day: scrambled eggs with sausage, and 3rd day western omelette with sausage. 2 different waffle baters vanilla and blueberry with a station to put all your toppings on your waffle; like chocolate chips, sprinkles, whipped cream, etc. The room and bathroom was very clean. Only small issue was the bathtub fixture was not working well, but the shower worked and water was hot. Parking was $15 a day with plenty of parking spaces. i would of loved it if the rooms were little bit bigger to fit a small sofa to make it more family friendly. other than that worth the money for being right on the beach!"

Wyndham Garden Fort Walton Beach Destin

8/10 Good

"The pool area was nice, we didn't get to use it but it was cleaned every day. They had a cute little bar area called Manatee. The breakfast is just microwaved food. No beach towels, Everything was great considering they had just suffered a hurricane. No elevator while we were there but it was understandable."

Destin Festival!! Sept 24 - 28 Available

10/10 Excellent

"Beach side of the complex is the best, we had great view of the pool with its huge private patio, ocean could be seen through beautiful palm trees, the host provided all the beach supplies needed for those flying in with no vehicle access,these included buckets shovels, umbrellas, a big wagon to pull everything. The beach is very accessible from the ocean side. MS.Bonnie is a wonderful host who makes her guest feel very welcome, thank you Bonnie we will be contacting you for future visits."

🌊Gulf Dunes 605 - Emerald Destiny | Gulf Front+2 Pools | Beach Service🌊

10/10 Excellent

"The condo was exactly as described and pictured. We would definitely recommend the unit and/or working with Kris. We encountered an issue with the air conditioning and Kris was extremely responsive. She had a tech there within minutes. When the issue needed a part that was not available until morning, Kris arranged for us to spend the night in another unit so that we weren’t uncomfortable. The air conditioning was fixed he next morning and we were able to continue our vacation without missing a beat."
