This was our second year staying at this property, and once again, it did not disappoint! The location is absolutely perfect—right on the beach and close to everything we needed. Customer service is consistently top-notch. Every staff member we encountered was friendly, professional, and made us feel welcome from the moment we arrived. The pool area was clean and well-maintained, and we really appreciated the relaxed, family-friendly atmosphere throughout the hotel. Overall, this has become one of our go-to spots for a beach getaway, and we’re already looking forward to coming back again next year.

When arriving at the property and walking to our room we noticed the lights in the hall had yellow tint along with the carpet being stained and looked dirty. We walked into our room and although it looked clean we noticed lamps & shades were covered in rust and even with lights on it was still pretty dark, the bathroom looked as though it had flooded at some point because the wallpaper was bubbled on the wall, and throughout our stay we could hear a constant running of water. Everything felt damp and nothing would dry. Towels, swim suits, etc. Some of the pillows were musty smelling and we would not use them. Pool??? It is nice, not large, and there are NO LIGHTS once it gets dark and we didn’t understand that at all. SAFETY!?! NO SAFETY MEASURES AT ALL!!! Anyone can come in this property, beach side, lobby entrance and can use elevators!!! Absolutely crazy and scary to think now days CLEANLINESS - we were there from Thursday evening until Monday morning and we never heard or saw a vacuum in the hallways. The chairs in the lobby are disgusting! They are stained and old. Hilton should be ashamed to charge what they do for this hotel and it look the way it does. This hotel is definitely not what the pictures show online. As far as location, the beach is beautiful and there are a few things close enough to walk if you use the beach side to walk otherwise due to construction we didn’t see a way to walk to some of the things close. Destin Harborwalk is about 6 mins using Uber.

Disappointed with staff and management

Very disappointed with my stay. What was supposed to be a relaxing vacation ended up being a bad experience . From the beginning to end. As I was getting ready the shower curtain rod fell on me and I was hit on my left shoulder and chest to be clear the curtain rods was not even bolted down which is crazy for a place that is always humid. We notified staff and the way they handled the situation was truly poor. Staff and managers made me feel like what happened was nothing. If I were a different person maybe the situation would have been handled differently but honestly I felt like they saw me and said here is a person just trying to take advantage of a situation. I will never forget the smirk on your staffs face . I have always stayed at Hilton hotels on vacation but never have I ever had issues or felt the way I did here. Highly disappointed and will looking into fixing this issue myself.

The website photos look pristine, but the reality was disappointing. Outdoor and poolside furniture were stained and dirty, the indoor pool was dirty. The room had multiple issues—rusty lamp shades, stained mirrors, dirty vents, and worn carpet. The property needs a serious deep cleaning and upgrade inside and out. Highway construction makes access difficult as well. The only positive was the friendly front desk staff. Based on my stay, I would not recommend this hotel unless it undergoes a complete overhaul.

No issues, enjoyed it and hope to return!

We came here for a mini getaway to celebrate my son's birthday. So mostly came for the pool and such amenities.. the staff was very friendly and welcoming. Allowed us to swim while waiting for room to be ready(we got there before 2pm ) Plenty of parking. No issues with that. It did cost 15$ to park for one night. The hotel lobby was nice and clean. Our hallway was a bit run down. Dingy carpet and peeling wallpaper. There were several dogs we saw on our stay but they didn't bother us. Could smell them a little in our room from previous guest. Our room was a 2bed inland view with balcony and it was very nice. Felt safe and was well set up and equipped. We had comfortable beds and enjoyed our stay very much. The pool was very nice my son enjoyed a lot even with a lot of guests there. Still plenty of room to enjoy. Water was pretty hot tbh. Not super refreshing but it is August in FL ... Went to tiki bar and got some drinks. Wonderful service. Be advised online menu is different then menu they have - including different pricing (12$ online for chicken tenders,17$ actual price. ) etc. We went to beach super easy access to beautiful beach! And we were able to use the neighboring hotel pool as well which was bonus for my son at night -The pools are very similar however at night the hotel next door ( the Holiday inn) has movies playing on a projection screen for the kids while they swim which was super cool. Do note there is no in room dining but can order and pick up

A very nice hotel on a great area. there was a bit of road work across the street and I thought the hotel needs to be upgraded, however the view is fantastic, the pool nice and the beach espectacular. The staff pretty nice too but the wifi not so good, i hope they fix that soon. Was told an upgrade is on the works for early 2026. We would totally return.
