This holiday is geared toward families and is beginning to show it's age --- but it is well cared for and the services are excellent. The indoor pool was a plus when the temperature dropped in the 30's! The location is good for the beach, local restaurants and activities for those rainy days.
We would definitely stay again.
You Should Stay Here!!!

Not am I only say this becuase I am an employee of IHG, but this hotel has it all. And what you ask for from a hotel who has it all. NOTHING!!! We arrived a couple of hours before check-in. Not knowing if we could could check in or not, we went ahead and tried. At this time the front desk staff didnt know I was an emp. But I do have to tell you this they were as nice as they could be and offered me a free upgrade for being a PCR Member. The staff told us about the FREE DVD rental program, where to eat dinner and the way to the BEACH without us asking. When we arrived to our rm, we found it in prestine condition. More than enough towels, and lots of little extra amenities. And the view...AMAZING!!! I recieved a phone call from the front desk asking if everything was ok in our roo. I just thanked them. Each day we had a DND sign on our door. The housekeeping dept left a bag full of towels, TP, cups, coffee, shower stuff, etc...How thankful were we for all of that....
Everything is so close to this hotel. You have to eat at the Donut Hole while in Destin. YUM YUM... This hotel is very close to all kinds of shopping aswell. If you have children they have all types of things to do for them while you are on vacation. Please give them a shot and take a chance and stay here. I promise you wont be dissatisfied at all.
Pretty good experience

Travelled in September - Shoulder season. Hotel common areas are nice. Hotel room was fine, but not as nice as I had expected. There was a bit of a strange odor, but not too bad. Refrigerator in room didn't work but they promptly fixed it as soon as I reported it. Microwave in room smelled of spoiled milk when I used it. TV and DVD player in room were nice. Free DVD rentals throughout your stay was a nice benefit when my son got sick and we stayed indoors for a full day. Pools are nice. Kids activities weren't prevalent during shoulder season. Staff was accommodating but not quite up to my expectations. For example, upon checkin I was given my key and told where the elevators were. No explanation of where DVD rentals were, where pools were, where dining room is, any activities that they coordinate... basically no information about hotel at all, other than how to get to my room. When my son got very sick in the middle of the night, the front desk was very helpful in providing a map and directions to the emergency room. They did express care and concern for my son.
The hotel wasn't bad, but just wasn't as good as I had expected. I chose the hotel because we weren't staying a full week like we usually do, so I didn't want to bother with grocery shopping and preparing meals... but instead wanted convenient meals in the hotel.
I've stayed in the Destin/FWB each area every year or so for 15 years. This is the first time I've stayed at a 'hotel' - I usually rent a condo. Next year I will most likely go back to renting a condo.
Great Family Vacation

A great family hotel located directly on the beach. We booked this hotel knowing they place neon armbands on each guest. I found it to be a safely feature; it didn't bother us or interfere with our having a great time; several family resorts do this. The hotel is a typical Holiday Inn with comfy beds, loads of towels and clean rooms. The staff is excellent and goes above and beyond in trying to please its guests. I did not have younger kids but the hotel does have a great program for the younger set.
My kids are older teens and still loved being here. The free DVD rentals were a hit. The pools are well maintained and very nice. The deck overlooking the beach is really nice and the kids enjoyed the tiki hut sitting area. My boys would meet others in the arcade to play pool, video games and hang out. They rated it an eight or 9 on the scale and all agreed they want to come back.
The beach is simply fabulous! We had a partial view room overlooking the beach and enjoyed sitting on the balcony.

This was our 13th trip to Destin, Fl., and we have NEVER been more satisfied with overall service as we were with this hotel. I made frequent calls to the front desk, requesting toiletries, towels, or coffee...etc., and they ALWAYS delivered the items promptly and with a smile. The children's programs were AMAZING! My two sons and nephew never ran out of activities during our stay! A HUGE outdoor pool, indoor pool, game room, outdoor cafe, and the 'Little Buccaneers' program for children kept the boys busy. Breathtaking ocean views from our balcony were also a plus. We will DEFINITELY return!!!!
