  • Friendly, professional staff, helpful & knowledgeable.
  • Dirty swimming pool, too many children swimming without adult supervision.

“Room was clean with great views of pool & gulf! Professional, friendly, and knowledgeable front desk staff! The grill person and bartender were amazing people! They always smiled, gave efficient, excellent service and in the middle of the heat, rain, and sometimes strong wind! I don't think I could be as gracious even if I were paid well :) Overall, it was a great experience and the children LOVED it! We may be back next month.”

  • The hotel was clean and right next to the beach.
  • The sign was hard to see so it was easy to miss.

“The hotel was very nice and in a beautiful location,the room I stayed in was literally next to the beach. the hotel was off any of the main drags in the area which made it easier to get in and out of the parking lot.”

  • The beach was beautiful.
  • We were not impressed with the person that checked us in. The room was certainly clean but we didn't find it especially comfortable.

“The location was impressive. The beach was beautiful.”

  • The rooms were great. The hotel meet my personal needs. It was a great get a way for my spouse and myself.
  • Everything was great.

“The rooms were perfect. When we arrived our room did not meet our expectations. We brought it to the attention of the front desk and immediately they meet our needs.”

  • You cannot find a more beautiful beach than this one! We loved having the beach service and the two pools were beautiful as well.
  • Our room was on the ground floor and was just that - one room - our porch actually sat lower than the pool outside, like we were in a basement.

“I would definitely choose this hotel again! The beach is beautiful and the hotel itself is beautiful. The king size bed that we had was absolutely the best hotel bed I have ever slept in - luxurious pillows and a down comforter to boot, so soft and nothing scratchy like you're used to seeing in hotel beds. The carpet was nice, too, which is rare. Also I loved having a stand-in shower as well as a separate tub (which we didn't use, but it's good for putting all the sandy toys and wet bathing suits and stuff in). This hotel was perfect for us, but our room was in a horrible location - right off the lobby and sunken down like a basement, so when we walk out onto the porch it's actually lower than the pool, so you're looking up at the pool and there is no beach view or anything at all.”

  • This hotel is right on the beach which was very handy and enjoyable.
  • This is nothing I didn't like about this hotel.

“We stayed at this hotel for our honeymoon. It was very romantic and an overall very enjoyable stay. The room was very comfortable and overlooked the ocean. We had an awesome time. It is also a short driving distance to area attractions. We already have plans to come back next year for our anniversary.”

  • It is right on the beach.
  • It was unclean, overpriced, understaffed, falling apart.

“This hotel is far overpriced for a low quality, decrepit hotel with few amenities. The only plus of this hotel is the location, but there are better beaches and hotels nearby. The staff is nice and seem well intentioned, but ill informed. They had no idea regarding local information and did not even know that where the brochures were in their lobby.”

  • Location.
  • Our room was not ocean view, but pool view with partial ocean view.

“We wouldn't recommend it. Everything looks dated. You can't take pool towels to the beach (so we had to buy beach towels). The music in the pool and in the restaurant was all 80's.Two good things: umbrella and chairs at the beach were complimentary and the waiters in the restaurant were friendly.”

  • Nice pool for the kids.
  • They put us in a room across from the electric room for the elevator, very noisy all night, room should be storage area.

“Not very impressed with staff, asked for the address for a particular place to eat, she said she didn't know the address, told me I could use the computer in lobby to look it up. I thought she was kidding, and said so, she ended up looking it up for me. Very unwilling to help. Same night, wanted a drink from the bar near the pool, bartender said she didn't have 3 of the 4 ingredients to make drink, but I could go inside and order it. I felt she should have called and had a supervisor get what she needed. The whole idea of me ordering a drink by the pool was so I could watch my kids in the pool. Overall, not happy with service. As mentioned before, we were right across from the electric room for the elevator, very loud, all night, I think the elevator was on a timer or something. The room really should be an office, or used for storage or housekeeping.”

  • Location, free beach chairs and umbrellas.
  • The hotel that we stayed at last year had waitresses that brought drinks and food to you on the beach.

“Hotel room was spacious, free beach chairs and umbrellas were convenient, poolside tiki bar was great.”

  • I liked the beach and that the hotel offered beach chairs and umbrellas.
  • The dining room staff was not very friendly.

“The hotel was clean and the beds very comfortable. The bed linens included a duvet which I love. The bartender was first rate at the outside bar. The drinks were a little pricey, but that is to be expected. There are quite a few good restaurants close by. The beach area is awesome.”

  • It was quiet, friendly with many things to do at the hotel.
  • No literature was posted about possible health problems with the Red Tide.

“It was a very nice hotel, without housekeeping beating on your door at the break of day, demanding to clean your room. The double beds, regular size, were not comfortable for me and my husband, but next time I will make sure I book a bigger bed. We felt very safe at the hotel and will visit it again in the near future.”

  • Cleanliness! Bath quality and linens quality and cleanliness.
  • The radiator/ air conditioner vent was moldy and needed care.

“Wonderfully surprised at the quality, cleanliness and comfort of this hotel one of the nicest by far that I have been in a long time over many 5 star rated upscale establishments. Wonderful stay and even better were the staff and the price. Will stay again! Couldn't be happier.”

  • The atmosphere was wonderful.
  • The hotel was great and the beds weren't the greatest in comfort!

“The hotel was great. Staff was helpful when needed. The kids loved the pool area. Very kid friendly atmosphere with all the different activities. We loved bingo, the pool with slide and movie night!”

  • Great beach, pool, and location off main drag.
  • Late check in, hard beds, and older hotel.

“Great location, if you like an excellent beach front location away from busy highways around Destin. The best sand in the world, sugar like, and cool on your feet vs. hot foot on the east coast of Florida. You get an umbrella and 2 chairs with your room another great feature, although they take them up starting about 4:00 pm. The rooms are what you would expect with an older Holiday Inn. The employees try hard to please, but we had to wait until almost 4:00 pm to check in because our room wasn't clean, then the next morning they were knock at 9:30am to clean the room. Room service is quick, the food was ok. The mattress are hard as a rock. Having said that, the hotel has a lot of activities for smaller kids, a nice pool with a slide and great views. I would stay there again if the price was right.”

  • Location near the beach.

“Near the beach (on the beach!) Run down old tired hotel the staff tries but not much to work with. I had a great time as I just went there to go swimming and the beach sand is world class!”

“My girlfriend and I stayed at the Sunspree in PCB. Rooms were small and beds and sheets worn out. A cleaning lady and her son vaccumed our room for 20 min and the vaccum cleaner was sooo old. I won't stay there again in my lifetime.”
