"Beautiful stay at the Hyatt House. The room was very clean. The bar was very nice and service was great. The pool was clean and well maintained. Overall, fantastic experience! Not too far from the beach either which was a plus! Highly recommend this hotel."
Hampton Inn & Suites Destin
"Stayed 2 nights. Room was very nice, as expected. Clean, comfortable, no issues. Housekeeping did not visit after the first night so you'll have to ask if you want new towels. Walk to the public beach was less than 5 minutes. One restaurant (Back Porch) across the street, but it is very good. Pool area very clean, well kept, water perfect. Weight room was sufficient for 3 people simultaneously, at most. Breakfast had decent variety & coffee is out and available all day."
