Top Gator Beach Hotel Reviews

Homewood Suites by Hilton Destin

10/10 Excellent

"Loved our stay. Pool was great and they had a few inflatables to float around on. Community areas were spacious. Great breakfast and helpful breakfast staff. My favorite small detail that I loved was the extra detachable shower head. Helped with all the sand after spending a day at the beach. My only complaint would be the fountain fixture in the hot tub. It needs fixed so you don't get sprayed in the face. Will definitely stay here again."

Home2 Suites By Hilton Destin

10/10 Excellent

"Housekeeping was every other day, but it didn’t have enough towels for two days for three of us."

The Henderson Beach Resort & Spa

8/10 Good

"The property is beautiful and the location is great. But pricey and adding on the resort fee at checkout was a gig."

Spark by Hilton Destin

10/10 Excellent

"Amazing police clean good customer service"

SummerPlace Inn Destin

8/10 Good

"I've stayed here several times both alone on work and with family on vacation. The staff is always friendly. Rooms are usually clean. My last room appeared to be midway through a remodel so carpet was mismatched, patchy paint spackle spots, and cigarette burns throughout. But, was good to lay my head for the night. Pool and hot tub are very nice."
