The Island Resort at Fort Walton Beach
Breakfast plan not worth it. Lied to at check in as well. Breakfast $49 to add for 2 persons only (had 4 to a room) breakfast was $100 plus for 4 persons! Allotted $25/pp for 1st two then had to pay plus a "breakfast fee". Not worth it-slow service (one person for whole dining room)

Hilton Garden Inn Ft. Walton Beach
Carpet was a little worn in places in the room. I was not thrilled by the sliding "barn door" on the bathroom. The staff interactions were really good. Easy check in and out.
