Top Destin Hotel Reviews

Home2 Suites By Hilton Destin

10/10 Excellent

"Only downside was no balcony on rooms, besides that 5 stars, great place to stay & very close to all activities! We had a wonderful stay!"

Spark by Hilton Destin

8/10 Good

"The staff was always pleasant and very helpful, however, the facility itself needs refreshing. Paint is peeling on the banisters; in our bathroom, the sink faucet is wobbly. Also the tub is very slippery. This is dangerous for older guests. A rubber mat would help. The breakfast is nice, but there were items that were missing or had not been delivered just shortly after 8:00a.m."

Inn on Destin Harbor, an Ascend Collection Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"I really enjoyed my stay. The staff were amazing and very friendly. I feel Rose is an absolute precious person. Just keep in mind, this is not a resort. This is an older hotel, but a wonderful hotel with very comfortable king sized beds. Our room was clean and very comfortable. The air conditioning was excellent. Something’s could be updated, but doesn’t change my mind about staying again. It has a beautiful harbor view and is just a quick walk to the beautiful beach."
