Top Okaloosa Island Hotel Reviews

The Island Resort at Fort Walton Beach

8/10 Good

"The dining situation is abysmal. They have closed down the Cantina except for the bar. They apparently want everyone to go to their rebranded Sea Oats restaurant for "upscale" and overpriced food. I paid to go to the beach. No one is going to get out of the pool or off the beach, clean up, sober up and go sit down in a restaurant. I didn't. A 5 minute walk down the beach offered a multitude of dining, come as you are, affordable and great service. The one food truck never opened, the other was open form 11-4. Again, the only option for breakfast was Sea Oats, either an overpriced buffet of over cooked scrambled eggs and greasy bacon, or ala carte. A great disappointment after going for 5 years. Won't be back. They took my options away, and if nothing, our precious vacay time is all about options."
