Top Gator Beach Hotel Reviews

Hyatt House Destin

10/10 Excellent

"The room was clean and the staff was warm and helpful"

Fairfield Inn & Suites by Marriott Destin

10/10 Excellent

"Room was clean and had a nice balcony with chairs. Check in was easy and she asked if I was a rewards member and got me taken care of. Good location plenty of parking. Cleaning staff friendly. Could hear the people above us running around but wasn't to bad. Breakfast was good but ran out of food about hour before it ended and took a while to get more out there. Would recommend"

3101 Poolside Lagoon Deal & Hot Tub ~ Pickleball ~ Bar & Dining ~ Book Oct 24th

8/10 Good

"Everything was excellent. We had a wonderful time, but we chose to depart a day ahead of schedule due to an approaching hurricane. I would certainly consider staying at this property again on our next visit to Destin."

2714 SUPER Special~ Book Oct 26th ~ Pools ~ Dining / Bar ~ Hot Tub - Sunsets

8/10 Good

"Everything was great! The only thing I was disappointed about was the park ! It’s very outdated and there’s a park bench that is so rusted it could very well injury someone badly. We weren’t able to play out there ! I also thought the bath between the resort and the parking garage was so dark. It could use some light at night time !"
