Top Destin History and Fishing Museum Hotel Reviews

Village Inn Destin

10/10 Excellent

"Breakfast was good . Staff is nice."

Harbor Suites at Harborwalk Village

8/10 Good

"The room was clean and spacious. The staff were friendly and helpful. The room was missing the keurig, one call to the front desk and they put one in. The room has a balcony, we asked for umbrella since it was direct sunlight but they said they do not have one. We did not pay for breakfast, it was pricey. There were a lot of options around the area for food. I was disappointed that there were no robes and slippers provided. The aircon was great. There was a $100 property fee. It covers the amenities such as the pool which for this size property was quite small. We did not use it because we enjoyed the beach. The property fee includes a free ferry ride to private beach which includes chairs and umbrellas which actually makes up for the small pool. Beach umbrellas and chairs vost around $60 on beaches, it was included for free. The beach area was nice and secluded. There was a boat that served drinks and food, a little pricey $23 for a drink but we indulged. The room was located on Harborwalk, was not bothered by the noise. We enjoyed our stay."
