The Island Resort at Fort Walton Beach
I only staid the first night. The room had a terrible smell and the bed felt wet and had a bad smell as well. I left the next morning and book the hilton garden inn.

Wyndham Garden Fort Walton Beach Destin
The hotel is very clean, nice location and friendly staff. There are 2 pools and one is heated so even when it's vold you can use it. My only issue was our assigned room was behind the elevators so I heard everything was using which gets very noisy when you are trying to sleep at night.

Room needs some maintenance work, bathroom not draining properly. We were only there fo 1 night so it wasn't a big deal. Not a good experience during check in, had to wait and front desk person not very welcoming.
