Top Crab Island Hotel Reviews

Club Destin Condos

10/10 Excellent

"Great property, friendly staff, wonderful location; close to beaches, eatery and shopping."

Harbor Suites at Harborwalk Village

10/10 Excellent

"Our stay was for a wedding on the property and the location was gorgeous and the food was very good! Staff was friendly, pool area a hit with families and many options for food within walking distance from the resort. But the restaurant there on the premises had a chef and the food there was delicious and reasonably priced. Only complaint is the elevators did not have air conditioning, and it was in the 90’s when we were there."
