Beautiful property, excellent customer service, clean rooms! I could go on and on about this hotel. We had a wonderful time. If I return to Destin I will definitely be staying at this hotel. My only complaint is having to pay for every single thing at this hotel. For the amount you pay, you should be able to get more things for free during your stay, especially at the beach (ex.beach chairs).

My stay was overall great! I have an ADA and I was able to have that handled without hassle. The down side is, I was told numerous times that there as a live DJ on Fridays and Saturday nights, there was not! I specifically stayed there for that reason! But over all it was fantastic and accommodating!

Mixed reviews…Upon arrival the receptionist tried to make us pay for the bill that was already paid via Expedia. We have VIP status and were to receive upgrade if available and a free bottle of wine. Nothing was mentioned about an upgrade and we never received the free bottle of wine. The first night we ate at the hotel restaurant Ovide. The food was awful. Even the biscuit and butter was bad. The service was not good either. The hotel has cookies in the lobby at 8:00. They were burnt and you could break a tooth trying to eat it. On a positive note, the hotel is pretty. Our breakfast at Ovide was wonderful and the waitress then was great. The receptionist at checking out was also great!
