My family and I had a wonderful time! The staff was amazing and we enjoyed the ammentities. They were located in a great location near the outlet and resturants. We were less that 15 minutes away from Destin which was an awesome plus!

The hotel was beautiful and in an area that is gated and quiet. The front desk staff are the rudest people I have ever met. Be prepared to be talked to like you’re dumb. The valet staff is amazing and courteous. Front desk needs tons of training.

Attentive and friendly staff! Room was very clean and tidy, quiet at night. Close by food and a great brunch spot (Ruby Slipper) in walking distance. Rooftop pool is a vibe, bar is located a few feet away. Beach is only a 5 minute drive across the street. Property is secluded with a security checkpoint they only allow you in with a pass.

Very, very clean. Staff was very friendly and accommodating. Nice spacious room. Only 1 complaint about room. Is the water flow of the shower. It was very weak so it was hard to get a good shower. We very very pleased with this hotel and would definitely recommend it.
