Top Destin-Fort Walton Beach Convention Center Hotel Reviews

Wyndham Garden Fort Walton Beach Destin

10/10 Excellent

"Wonderful location right on the beach & in an area not as busy, traffic-wise. Within 10 minutes of shopping, delicious restaurants, & adventures. Staff was very friendly and welcoming. Rooms are older so there was some obvious wear and tear in the bathroom but still clean. Loved the balcony chairs and the view - spent a good amount of time just relaxing."

Beal House Fort Walton Beach, Tapestry Collection by Hilton

10/10 Excellent

"The stay was wonderful! Hotel was clean and staff was friendly. Breakfast at the hotel restaurant Remedy was very convenient. One thing I’d recommend is looking at the menu ahead of time if you choose to add breakfast to your package. I have an egg yolk allergy and the menu is limited so I asked for egg whites. They hesitated to even say yes they could do it every morning and up-charged me for it every time. As a former Chef, I didn’t appreciate that! It is not hard to separate an egg. They made me feel like I was being a pain."

"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."
