I really like this property. Great amenities and tiki bar, on site restaurant. There was a horrible smell that took up the entire third floor in the hallways. Smelled like a sewer. They are a dog friendly hotel… which is great. We love dogs, but when you can’t have dogs due to allergies I shouldn’t have my clothes covered in dog hair when sitting on the furniture in my room. I Sat on the chair with black shorts and when I got up I was covered in white dog hair. WTH… if I’m going to be covered in dog hair I should at least get the benefit of petting the dog. My husband and daughter had sneezing fits and puffy eyes for our entire stay, which isn’t fun. But overall, we enjoyed our stay just wouldn’t stay here again.

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.
