Wonderfully Amazing!
Pros:

Hotel was beautiful, clean, staff were very friendly. Breakfast was very good. Close to all that Destin has to offer for fun.

Cons:

We wanted to rent a golf cart so we didn't have to drive but the place we called said they couldn't get the cart to us because of where the hotel was located.

Pros:

I liked Everything except the pool hours.

Cons:

I didn't like how housekeeping did not come to clean the room while we were out for several of hours. I did not have the later on my door. I also didn't like how the pool closed at 10pm it should be opened for 24hrs.
