Hilton Garden Inn Destin Miramar Beach

10/10 Excellent

"Muy bueno todo"

The Island Resort at Fort Walton Beach

6/10 Okay

"Here are a couple of ways to rewrite your review, depending on the format you prefer for the site you are posting it on. ### Option 1: Paragraph Format **A decent family spot, but **Decent for families, lacking for couples** Overall, this is a decent getaway spot for a family trip, but I highly recommend looking elsewhere if you are planning a romantic getaway. **The Good:** * **Location:** You are just steps from the beach, and our room had really nice direct access to the pool. * **Comfort:** Whi"

Comfort Inn & Suites Destin near Henderson Beach

6/10 Okay

"Overall it was an okay stay for one night. The bathroom was not very clean with hair behind the door, and the drain in the tub would not stay put. We had called earlier in the week to indicate we needed a crib in the room. The person on the other end said they would have that for us upon arrival; however, when we checked in, the lady at the desk informed us that they only had one for the entire hotel. She went to check if it was available and it was not. So, getting our one year old to sleep was a bit rough that night, needless to say. We could hear our neighbors and those above us- I’m sure they heard us too. Sorry to our neighbors that night for the crying child. Also, it would be nice if they had a trash can in the lobby. There was one small trash can by the lemon water (which was so nice when we happened upon it with water in it a few times), but that bin had a sign over it indicating that it was just for water cups. Again, fine for one night, but I will look for a different place to stay when we come to Destin in the future."

Courtyard by Marriott Sandestin at Grand Boulevard

10/10 Excellent

"Clean room, Great location to food, shopping & restaurants. Gym was nicely stocked for full workouts and very clean. Overall great place to stay for a night or long vacation. Also a plus, onsight Starbucks and very good size restaurant and common area."
