Top Gator Beach Hotel Reviews

Tru By Hilton Destin

8/10 Good

"The stay would have been perfect if not for a few minor things. More variety in the main entrees for breakfast would have been nice but it was hot and fresh daily, which is what counts. We were very impressed with daily turndown service until my husband, seeking a set of new towels from the staff who was cleaning rooms at the time, discovered a young man and woman (staff) engaged in intimate activities in the adjoining room to ours. We stayed in room 235 and they were in 237 going to town. From there, I spent every day worried that someone was going to be having intercourse on my bed while we were at the beach, so it was difficult to relax. Even worse, instead of mentioning it at the time, we worried that someone would sabotage our room or take our items in retaliation for turning them in, so we kept things quiet until we left. We have stayed all over the country and never experienced that sort of behavior. I hope this situation is handled appropriately."

Homewood Suites by Hilton Destin

10/10 Excellent

"The first whole property is nice!"

Home2 Suites By Hilton Destin

10/10 Excellent

Crystal Dunes by Southern Vacation Rentals

10/10 Excellent

"While the price was high, I loved the location- right on the beach. The staff were responsive, and check in and check out were easy. I recommended Southern Vacations to all of the family gathered in Destin for their next reunion."
