Top Mary Esther Hotel Reviews

Wyndham Garden Fort Walton Beach Destin

8/10 Good

"I stayed on the first floor so the noise was right outside my window. But when the pool clothed everything was quiet. The room was humid and the vent in the bathroom leaked. Maintenance said it was condensation after he touched it and a piece of the vent fell off. Lol. It dripped on all our towels. We were able to have the replaced fairly easily. Check in and check out was fast. Location is on the beach and near many restaurants you can walk to. There is a restaurant on site but when you go in we didn't know you had to tell the cashier your meal order and they send it elsewhere to be fixed. It looked like they were only serving drinks. The price was unmatched giving going during a holiday. Overall, id go again but would get an ocean view and request extra towels."

Inn on Destin Harbor, an Ascend Collection Hotel

8/10 Good

"Our bathroom was not cleaned when we arrived. Looks like they missed it. The hallway to our room is always dirty. We have to beg for new towels and they always forget to bring to our room. Tv is small and old. AC is the best. So cold. Balcony comes with chairs is a plus. Location is the reason to stay here. Price was heavy but I say was almost worth it. Staff was friendly at least thank god."

The Island Resort at Fort Walton Beach

10/10 Excellent

"I was unaware you had to pay for daily parking and a daily resort fee. Other than that, the resort was nice and clean. The rooms were spacious and they offer daily room cleaning. I had a 2nd floor room facing the pool, it was a very nice view. The access to the beach has a ramp and steps. The beach is well maintained, there was no trash anywhere. I would recommend families with our without kids to stay here for a relaxing time."
