LOVE this location! Highly recommend. Super clean and staff is SUPER friendly. They go out of their way to make your stay enjoyable. Clean rooms with soft beds, drawers and hangers in closet, full sized mirror, microwave and fridge, desk area, reading chair, side table. Safe and well lit parking lot, onsite cafe, breakfast buffet, indoor and outdoor bars, heated outdoor & indoor pools, private beach access. Fireplace, outdoor games, mini onsite store. Mix of families, business, military guests. Holiday Inn next door is their sister hotel with access to their pool. Bring your inflatables they provide free air to fill them. Outdoor pool is heated, yet in March the wind was still strong so it was not warm but not icy like the beach! The indoor pool area was nice and warm. They provide free beach towels and you exchange them for fresh ones at anytime. Happy hour available in indoor bar and outdoor Tiki bar makes great drinks and non-alcoholic ones for kids too. Lazy river provides tubes but your floats are welcomed. Its so close to everything and yet Fort Walton has a small town feel. Hotel is located right after bridge and has lots of restaurants and entertainment nearby. Easy drive to Destin and to major grocery stores. Lots of outdoor lounging chairs and tables onsite. HIGHLY recommend. Their customer service left the best impression on me and my family. Great job to their team and management for this! Every team member was friendly and made great small talk.
