Top Gulf Coast Hotel Reviews

Wyndham Garden Fort Walton Beach Destin

10/10 Excellent

"We loved our four night stay here! Once we arrived, we had no need to leave. Everything we needed for a relaxing vacation was on the property. The large suite was very clean and roomy. The staff was very accommodating. We were able to get a very late 3 pm checkout just by asking for it. The beach view was incredible. I enjoyed the clean, private beach and took advantage of the beach umbrella and chair rental service each day. The pool was clean and there were plenty of chairs and towels. The attendant inflates floaties! Tip him! The coffee shop offered delicious donuts and yummy breakfast burritos. We didn’t try drinks from the hotel’s bar, the lunch offerings at the on site restaurant, or the hot tub. Because we had a suite with a kitchenette, it was easy for me to cook meals for us each evening. The suite also worked great for me as a single mom traveling with my teen son who wanted to stay up all night. He could use the hotel Wi-Fi for his PC games in the sitting area while I slept behind the closed door of the bedroom area. The next morning he slept in while I went about my morning routine. It worked out well for us! I didn’t use the laundry facilities, but did observe the one machine available is centrally located and newer/clean. Parking was ample. The elevator is quite busy but the stairs are manageable. Staff is constantly cleaning the common areas. This place is very well maintained and well worth every penny! We loved our stay and hope to return."

Margaritaville Beach Resort South Padre Island

10/10 Excellent

"Margaritasville is an excellent hotel… staff friendly… with a shout out to rosie and our valet …. We came to padre w a terrible experience at another hotel and they stepped up and made our visit…. I will book this location and chain again"

Beachfront Palms Resort Galveston, an Ascend Collection Hotel

8/10 Good

"Breakfast was nice, hot , many options. It was pet- friendly, and close to the beach , But the other side, the pool needed to be filtered ,kind of cloudy water .Nice pool area chairs and loungers mature trees The hallways needed to be vacuumed and swept. Smoking area could use some attention: sand for the pots used for butts. The room was clean and stocked with towels etc blow dryer/ ironing board/iron , the air conditioner was working the best it could at the 100 temps."
