What a great hotel! We booked a two room suite for a very reasonable price. The suite has a full kitchen, which is great for an extended stay. It turned out to be unnecessary, as the complimentary breakfast is one one of the best spreads I've ever seen. And there are so many great restaurants close by - why cook?

We also traveled with our two Yorkies, and when this hotel says pet friendly, they really mean it. I have never been treated better when traveling with the dogs.

The staff is excellent, really friendly and professional, and the amenities can't be beat. It's worth staying here just for the tram service and access to the Sandestin Resort facilities. We are moving to the area and will definately stay here on an extended basis until we find a house.

I know I'm gushing, but I truly adore this place. I travel a great deal for work, and I will now start looking for Residence Inns to stay in.

My husband I first intended to just stay one night. But when we got here and saw what the resort, inclusive of the hotel, had to offer, we immediately booked another night. The studios are quiet and well equipped and clean! We headed straight to the beach and ate at the Hilton, which is all part of the golf resort complex. The location and value are excellent. The golf resorts hosts a village of restaurants and night life as well as a bit of shopping. The hotel is located just a few short miles to the outlet shopping as well. There are tons of restaurants nearby so variety isn't an issue.

My wife and I stopped here for a couple of nights on our way back from a trip to New Orleans, and we absolutely loved it.

The rate we booked was very reasonable, and made this hotel an outstanding value. Our suite was clean, spacious, and nicely decorated. Noise from the interior hall did filter in, however, so we kept our bedroom door closed at night to ensure quiet.

The pool was modest and crowded, so we didn't make too much use of it. However, the hotel provides free transportation around the Sandestin Resort area, and there's a much larger pool right by the beach. Bring your own chairs if you want to sit out by the beach, though; the resort charges for the use of theirs.

This hotel serves enough free food to keep your stomach and your wallet full. The breakfast buffet had much more variety than most hotels offer, including hot choices like eggs and sausage. They also serve a snack and drinks in the evenings.

All in all, we loved this hotel and would absolutely return again. Low rates, spacious accomodations, free transportation, and free food make for a great combination.

Although we are from Tampa we have never been to the Destin area. We loved it. This hotel is brand new and has the best location. Check in was smooth and the staff super friendly. We had a pet with us and this hotel MUST be the nicest place you can stay with a dog in hand. Rooms are beautiful with stainless steal appliances in kitchen, upgraded floors, a sitting room, and a seperate shower/toilet and sink area. We couldn't believe the room when we walked in! Two special perks: One, they have a restaurant quality FREE breakfast buffet each morning that is wonderful and a great start to the day. Two, they have a FREE shuttle that picks you up and takes you a short distance away to the beach OR a great night out called Baytowne Wharf. This place is super child friendly and has lots of restaurants, shops, night life and live music. Great shopping just around the corner. Weather was 80's during the day and a little cooler at night. Perfect Florida fall weather! Destin was great and this hotel made it perfect! I couldn't name one thing I would change.
