Top Fort Walton Beach Hotel Reviews

Hilton Garden Inn Ft. Walton Beach

8/10 Good

"Everything is really good all the staff were very nice. The room was nice and clean looks like it had been recently updated. The only negative was the housekeeping the first day I told them we didn't need it we just needed some towels. Then the second day they hadn't even been there and it was 3:00. So basically we didn't get housekeeping the whole week we were there they either came too late or they didn't show up"

"Beach view was beautiful"

Four Points by Sheraton Destin-Fort Walton Beach

10/10 Excellent

"Four day stay. Grounds are nice. Right on the beach. Two restaurants on site if you’re too sun drained to go out. Location of the actual hotel is good as it’s right off the main roadway to get to the mainland in two minutes, and over to all the other attractions east into Destin. We had the sixth floor balcony luxury suite. The extra large balcony was nice for privacy and just enjoying the view. Dog friendly, which was important. Word of advice, regardless if you see dogs on the beach, they are not allowed. After watching several people out with dogs the first two days, we decided to bring our dog onto the sand. Within 5 minutes we were approached by a passing life guard and informed no dogs on the beach (we didn’t see any signage at the hotel beach access that said otherwise)."

Wyndham Garden Fort Walton Beach Destin

10/10 Excellent

"Everything was pretty perfect. The walk to the beach was short. The views were great. The beach bar was a little pricy and the drinks were not the best so we only went there once and then got a cooler with our own drinks. They cleaned the pools every day and drained and bleached the hot tub daily as well. We didn’t go to the pool but I could see them do it from the balcony. I have my own pool so I’m always interested in how hotels clean theirs. Lol. There were plenty of towels so housekeeping didn’t have to come daily but they would if you asked. We got coffee every day at the coffee place. It was comparable to Starbucks. we tried a different donut from there daily but they were stale every day no matter what we got. The rooms were quiet. Couldn’t hear the neighbors. The elevator was a little hot and sketchy so we took the stairs. There were a lot of good restaurants really close. We will definitely be back."
