Top Fort Walton Beaches Hotel Reviews

Wyndham Garden Fort Walton Beach Destin

8/10 Good

"Beach front property, Very affordable, Heated pool and hot tub which is great for the chillier days. Very close to any thing you’d like to do/ see/explore."

WoodSpring Suites Fort Walton Beach - Eglin AFB

10/10 Excellent

"Everything this place is perfect"

Wavecrest Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"I loved my stay here. The room was spacious and clean. The bathroom was great-lots of counter space, which I needed, and the shower was huge. I didn’t have a view (except for the road and the condos next door), but I didn’t need one. The beach was right there and I spent a LOT of time on it. The staff were friendly and helpful. The walk to the beach is less than a minute and the pool was nice and clean, and it wasn’t crowded. I am not a morning person, but I dragged my butt out of bed and went downstairs for the breakfast, and it was worth it every morning. They had a great spread. It was quiet, as it is more of the off-season. The only drawback I had was there was no WiFi for the first three days I was there. No Wi-Fi meant no tv, as it was digital cable. For me, it was not really a big deal. They had, quite literally, just gone through a hurricane, and in no way can I blame them for it not working. Overall, I was extremely impressed. For the price point, it was way above my expectations. I was there for a wedding and my sister stayed somewhere that was twice as much, and nowhere near as nice. I am looking forward to traveling again down there in the spring and will definitely look into staying here again. 10/10 would recommend."
