My husband and I recently stayed at the Hilton Sandestin for a conference/ vacation, and after this experience, will never return. The first night we stayed they put us in a room that looked like it had been vacant for a while, and not recently cleaned-- food crumbs on the floor and noticeable dust on the furniture. There was also a roach on the wall. We figured, this is Florida, there will be an occasional roach. I did, however, mention it to the front desk and ask that someone come clean our room as it appeared dirty. No one came. Flash forward two nights later-- after killing 10 roaches, we asked for a new room. It was late in the day because we had been waiting for the manager to call us back. They couldn't accommodate us for several reasons. The next morning, I got a text from the front desk saying they had a new room available BUT I had 1 hour to move into the room or it would be given away. Thankfully, my husband stayed close by the room that day and was able to move us. On top of all this, we mentioned the incident to hotel waitstaff later that day and he said it didn't surprise him at all. They know there is a roach problem in the Spa Tower. The new room was an upgrade for the final night we were there, which was nice, but no real restitution was made for our 2 nights previous. For our trouble, they gave us a credit at the beach bar. This was the worst hotel experience.

Love being able to not worry about a thing when we come to the beach! Matt LaBounty and his team have those chairs and umbrellas set up before I even roll out of bed! They even came to check on us multiple times and I can’t think of a better way to rest and relax than having someone help make the sand an easier place to just relax…. Thanks for all your help!

The rooms were large, well furnished and comfortable. Complimentary cooked to order breakfast in the morning and cocktails in the afternoon. Staff was very helpful, friendly and polite—always smiling. Walk across the street to the beach or eat or shop. Food was delicious . We LOVED it. . We will go back.

This Hilton home 2 suite is really great. I booked a separate bedroom. The room was oversized, the refrigerator was big, and the tableware and dishwasher. The room was clean and the location was good. It took less than five minutes to walk to the beach. When I went to this beach, I can see the sunrise and sunset. There are many parking spaces. There are not many types of breakfast but it is delicious. Generally speaking, I will book this hotel when I go there again.

I have been avoiding Florida's beaches since the uptake in the delta variant of the corona pandemic infection. The loose nature of the state which is enhanced by the governor's stupidity, has made it persona non gratis. However, some friends I hadn't seen in over 10 years were vacationing in the Destin area, so I took a chance and made a quick trip down there. Passing through Destin a few months ago, I noticed a lot of new hotels. The Hilton garden inn as well as the la Quinta, are very new. However I chose to stay at the Holiday inn Express, because of my familiarity with the place, and it's more economical price than the other two hotels mentioned. Location-the hotel is located near a popular intersection that has an outback steakhouse, a cracker barrel, a Publix supermarket, a first watch restaurant for breakfast, and an entertainment complex with the movie theater. There's even a bass pro shop nearby should you need Beach equipment. One good thing about its location is that you can walk to the beach which is about three short blocks away. So you don't even have to move your car. Hotel-the hotel itself was clean, and rather basic, but quite comfortable. The parking lot is kind of small, but there seems to be space in the strip mall next door.
