Top Okaloosa Island Hotel Reviews

Wyndham Garden Fort Walton Beach Destin

10/10 Excellent

"Wonderful location right on the beach & in an area not as busy, traffic-wise. Within 10 minutes of shopping, delicious restaurants, & adventures. Staff was very friendly and welcoming. Rooms are older so there was some obvious wear and tear in the bathroom but still clean. Loved the balcony chairs and the view - spent a good amount of time just relaxing."

Beal House Fort Walton Beach, Tapestry Collection by Hilton

10/10 Excellent

"The stay was wonderful! Hotel was clean and staff was friendly. Breakfast at the hotel restaurant Remedy was very convenient. One thing I’d recommend is looking at the menu ahead of time if you choose to add breakfast to your package. I have an egg yolk allergy and the menu is limited so I asked for egg whites. They hesitated to even say yes they could do it every morning and up-charged me for it every time. As a former Chef, I didn’t appreciate that! It is not hard to separate an egg. They made me feel like I was being a pain."
