Sleep Inn & Suites Fort Walton Beach - Destin West

10/10 Excellent

"Enjoyed our trip and would book again"

Holiday Inn Resort Fort Walton Beach by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Loved this hotel! It was so great to be right on the beach and made beach days so much easier. The tiki bar area by the pool was a great perk, as was the access to the pool at the hotel next door. The room was a pretty standard hotel room, nothing special but was clean and enough space for our family of four. I highly recommend upgrading to the ocean view room. Watching the sunsets off our balcony was amazing! The only thing that would have been nice to have was having breakfast included. We didn’t eat breakfast at the hotel, mainly because the $18.95 per person cost seemed overpriced, especially for kids."

"Beach side of the complex is the best, we had great view of the pool with its huge private patio, ocean could be seen through beautiful palm trees, the host provided all the beach supplies needed for those flying in with no vehicle access,these included buckets shovels, umbrellas, a big wagon to pull everything. The beach is very accessible from the ocean side. MS.Bonnie is a wonderful host who makes her guest feel very welcome, thank you Bonnie we will be contacting you for future visits."

"This was one of the best vacations I have ever taken. All my children 8,8, 14 and 15 were happy. Plenty to do and with in walking distance. Gas station next door, Publix 1 mile away. The pools are amazing. Bay was nice, even had a tiny beach area. Wish I brought fishing rods. Beach was right across the road but we used the bridge and walked over the road . The unit was better then expected, everything needed was there. Washer and Dryer was so nice. I was able to wash out beach towels. If your thinking of staying DO IT."
