Top Gator Beach Hotel Reviews

Comfort Inn & Suites Destin near Henderson Beach

8/10 Good

"The property was nice and well kept. Staff was friendly"

SummerPlace Inn Destin

8/10 Good

"The room is clean but The interior and bathroom look rather dated."

Spark by Hilton Destin

10/10 Excellent

"The room was clean. The hotel was clean. The staff were very welcoming. It was close enough to all the different activities from beach time to the Harbor Walk Village. Anything we needed the staff was willing to help us with any questions we had about the location. They were also willing to help us with. We had a kitchenette room. Dishes were available at the front desk. They had beach towels available. They also offered continental breakfast with bagels, fresh yogurt, toppings, cereal, fresh fruit, and of course, coffee. We had the most amazing time."

Homewood Suites by Hilton Destin

8/10 Good

"For the most part, the room was clean and nice. However, we found a lot of dog hair under and on the footstool. We also ran out of toilet paper and were told the front desk had none available until the next day, so we were given a small box of Kleenex instead. The pool also ran out of towels during our stay."

Club Destin Condos

10/10 Excellent

"My husband and I have stayed here several times as have other family members. We all absolutely love it. Always clean, always friendly. So many things to do just at the hotel. Especially to be as affordable as it is! We always recommend it to others."

Tru By Hilton Destin

3108 Poolside Family Fun ~ Book Aug 3rd ~ Pools ~ Dinging / Bar ~ Gym ~ Hot Tub

10/10 Excellent

"We enjoyed our stay in the villa. It was roomy and clean and what was supplied was very detailed so we knew what to expect. Thank you for the bathroom starter of toothbrush, toothpaste, razor, shaving cream and more. We had our small grandchildren with us and the easy access to the pool and other amenities was so convenient. It was nice to have the option of eating and getting coffee and drinks right at the resort. It was very family friendly atmosphere."

3101 Spring Special Discount Book Mar 6th ~Poolside ~Heated Pool ~Hot Tub

8/10 Good

"The villa that I booked, Villa 1, was 87 degrees HOT when I entered. I couldn't lower the theromstat. I called the property manager who said they would send over the HVAC people. I suggested that I would like to move to another villa where the AC was working properly. I was moved to Villa 11, but first I had to recheck in and visit the front desk for a second time. The AC snafu in Villa 1 and subsequent move to Villa 11 wasted about 1 3/4 hours of my first day at the property."
