Love the room with a view to the Gulf Coast. You have everything you need at the property. Good food, drinks, pool, jacuzzi and the beach and Pier at walking distance.
Our favorite place! Room looked like it could have used a little love but the food in the restaurant on property was great. Don’t even have to leave the property at all the whole trip!
Absolutely loved this place! Best resort ever! I was told they even offered refunds to people who had to leave early due to hurricane evacuations. We will return here every year. Great location right on the beach with lots of things to do and a pretty good buffet breakfast
Our trip got cut short because of the hurricane so we wished we could have stayed longer but we can't wait to visit again! It was super fun for our family we loved it.
Location is perfect for price. A few walking minutes to some great fishing on the Pier and minutes away from Destin for tourist fun. Definitely a spot i would stay again. Meal plan is not needed, The restaurant in lobby "Oats" Belgium waffles were amazing for breakfast. Watching the sunrise from the deck was also refreshing and beautiful with perfect beach access.
