Spark by Hilton Destin

4/10 Poor

"I was very disappointed with my stay, especially considering I paid $758 for just two nights. The room itself appeared to have been recently painted and updated, and the bed was comfortable. However, several issues took away from the experience. The bathroom floor had caulking stains throughout that looked like old gum residue, and there were dried spots that appeared unsanitary and potentially could have been someone else’s DNA. The water pressure was also very poor. The kitchen was missing basic utensils entirely, which was inconvenient for an extended-stay style room. In addition, there were no visible signs directing guests to the elevators, making it confusing to navigate the property. The hallway carpets on the third floor were heavily stained and gave an unclean impression. To make matters worse, the room did not even include a courtesy bottle of water, something most hotels typically provide. Overall, for the price paid, I expected a much cleaner, more organized, and better-maintained experience."

Sandestin Golf and Beach Resort

10/10 Excellent

"One of my go to properties when I visit Destin area. Most beautiful beach along the coast. Sandestin resort Rooms are clean and property pretty clean. The check in process can take a little time as well as parking especially if u go around holidays. Sandestin has a lot for all ages. It gives u plenty of fun options for the money. Has it own boardwalk. If u can catch it a good rate( one that fits your budget), definitely jump on it. Beach access that u can either drive to or take one of the many Trams that run up to midnight. I highly recommend staying at least once"

Wyndham Garden Fort Walton Beach Destin

6/10 Okay

"The staff at the front desk was NOT friendly or accommodating but the cleaning staff were very nice and friendly. There were two laundry rooms in my building and BOTH were out of service. We had to walk two buildings over. We had the give view suite so we had a lotWe stayed 4 nights and the suite with kitchen. The first few nights seemed fine but we saw small roaches the 3rd night - but they did send someone to spray immediately. What saved the entire trip was the amazing view and literally steps to the beach."
