Top Gator Beach Hotel Reviews

Homewood Suites by Hilton Destin

Homewood Suites by Hilton Destin

10/10 Excellent
"Our room was clean and staying with kids made this spot the best since they have a splash pad and pool. The kids had a blast as well as the whole family. I recommend this place to anyone looking for a place to stay near the beach, it's a short walk to the public beach or a 3 min drive to the state park beach. The breakfast was good too, included in the stay which is nice."

"We liked the hotel and the distance it is from the beach. It was about 6 min wack to the beach. The hotel also had a pool in the property which was also very nice. The breakfast was ok. The hotel itself does need some updates but overall was good"

"Friendly staff, clean common areas, decent breakfast. Only downer was rooms are not very soundproof, can hear hallway noise and heavy footed guests above you. But for the price, a nice stay. Good location."
