Please do better before yall get shut down.
Pros:

I really like the view the area by the pool and the pool, but was nasty as well.

Cons:

When I entered the room I noticed the floors wasn't clean, the sheets wasn't changed they smelled bad so they moved us to another room we settled in but then got ready to nap there were stains on the sheets hair, chairs nasty, house keeping didn't dust and later that day we saw roaches, the hall floor filthy,pool was extremely nasty tub stopped up and so is the sink. I have never seen nothing like this in my entire life and on top of that the prices high.

Pros:

We loved the balcony view of the harbor and watching the boats come and go. Also super close and walking distance to our crab island boat excursion and our dolphin/snorkle cruise so that saved us money and a headache trying to find parking!

Cons:

Everything was wonderful, we will be back!

Very comfortable
Pros:

Property was great for someone that did not have a rental car. Staff was super friendly and helpful. Has everything you need for a few days stay. Options for transportation and things to do in surrounding areas.

Cons:

Certain appliances were not in working order, such as the TV. A little uncleanliness but nothing to create drama out of.

HORRIBLE
Pros:

Nothing it was horrible!!!!

Cons:

No handicap accessible!!! elevators was broke the whole time!! Wouldn't put us on the floor level so my dad as a war veteran who served our military who has an amputated leg had to climb the steps to even get to our floor the whole 2 day stay was horrible!! No extra towels didnt even come clean the room or give fresh towels!! Worst stay ever in Destin!!! I paid almost $750 for the 2 nights for this crap!!! I would never recommend this place to no one!!!!!

Super rico!
Pros:

Todo estuvo muy bien, las habitaciones muy comodas, para el precio, estaba muy cerca de las playas. El desayuno tambien muy practico y rico. Y la piscina super rica.

Cons:

Lo unico que recomiendo al hotel es que tengan monedas para lavar, no importa que se lo cobren al cliente pero que tengan las mismas monedas que se necesite para usar la lavadora y secadora y que vendan detergente.
