Very convenient since it is located on the beach.
Pros:

The lazy river was great! We could also use the other pool across from the tiki bar. They had a lady doing a bubble show for the kids!

Cons:

Breakfast was not continental. You had a meal voucher and had to choose one item from the menu.

Ruby 🧡
Pros:

I just have to take a moment to recognize someone who truly made my stay special—Ruby, who manages the towels at the Hilton. It might seem like a small role, but Ruby brings such warmth and care to it that it becomes something memorable.

Every time I saw her, she greeted me with a genuine smile that could brighten anyone’s day. She was always kind, attentive, and ready to help without hesitation. Whether it was making sure I had fresh towels right when I needed them or simply offering a friendly hello, Ruby made the experience feel personal and welcoming.

It’s rare to come across someone who takes so much pride in their work and treats every guest with such consistent kindness. Ruby is a perfect example of how one person’s attitude can elevate an entire stay.

Hilton is lucky to have her—and so are the guests who get to meet her.

Unexpected Suprise
Pros:

Had an amazing stay here while visiting Ft Walton Beach.
Maggie and Pebble at the front desk make you feel right at home the minute you walk in.
The rooms are clean and spacious and the view is absolutely amazing.
The beach is just a few short steps from the pool. What more could you ask for?

I'd gladly stay a whole week here if I had the chance.

Great Location, Even Better Staff
Pros:

This has become my favorite place to stay when I'm in the area. It's a very well maintained property with top notch amenities and incredible views of the gulf. But where they really shine is the staff! Specifically Pebble! She's so very sweet and kind and goes out of her way to make sure you have a great stay every time. Whether you're at the hotel for a night or two weeks, she makes you feel like an old friend immediately. That hospitality will bring me back for years to come! You won't be disappointed with a stay here!
