Guest Reviews
- Jessika (10/5): Lovely stay on the beach - Location, facilities, and overall experience was lovely Needs a little maintenance as balcony was worn/paint chipping, shower low pressure.
- tedb670 (10/5): Diego the inside bartender took great care of my group of 8; he was a rock star!! He “gets it”! - Diego was a sincere pleasure and could have not been more attentive!! Look forward to my next visit!
- Laurie (10/5): Fabulous Family Vacation Spot for us!! - Wonderful breakfast options every morning! Get it included, it’s the perfect way to start your day! Can’t even think of anything we didn’t like!
- PATRICIA (8/5): Tremendous and I am already planning my next trip. - The breakfast was wonderful. They had everything you could think of available for breakfast. I also enjoyed the lazy river and pool. Very relaxing. Beach access was wonderful. The bridge and stairway to the beach was very very hot under your feet.
- Kathy (9/5): -
- Brittani (10/5): Awesome pool area that is just steps away from the beach! - From the moment we walked in the staff was ready to help with anything we needed! The pool area was beautiful and the beach was steps away. The room was clean and comfortable with plenty of room! Movies and popcorn by the pool was the cherry on top! I loved everything!
- Larson (10/5): -
- Amanda (10/5): We really enjoyed our stay. It was perfect! The view was amazing and the staff very friendly - Very clean and the view was amazing, they were very accommodating Clean, and well spaced out.

- 338mrsl (10/5): Best Resort in Northwest Florida - The hotel team, from the front desk staff, restaurant, bar, housekeepers were all attentive. A few stood out, Trace, Todd, Christopher, Joe, Terry, Toya, and Crystal. Wonderful group of people with positive attitudes and a willingness to provide outstanding customer service. I appreciate the hospitality and look forward to my next stay at the Holiday Inn Resort FWB on Okaloosa Island.
- Daniel (10/5): A very pleasant and relaxing stay which we always look forward to visit. - This is the hotel we always stay in during our trip to Ft Walton beach due to the professional of the staff. N/A

- Elizabeth (9/5): Super staff, service, and sunset views! Great spot for a little retreat. - Check-in was easy. We got a great room on a high floor facing the ocean. We grabbed a drink during Happy Hour at the bar and then took a walk on the beach to enjoy the amazing sunset. Bed was super comfy and we enjoyed waking up to the ocean breeze. Wish we could have stayed longer to enjoy the pool and beach.

- ashleymH7144VX (10/5): Rush #1 - Rush was absolutely the best employee in the whole place. So sweet and accommodating, excellent at her job and made our experience an unforgettable one with her beautiful spirit.
- Rachel (10/5): -
- john (6/5): Everything was good, except the pool was not heated. And I’m still waiting on my refund - Checked out with the balance of $43 that you owe me and I still haven’t got it. I’ve called and get a run this poor service.
- Wexler (9/5): Perfectly perfect - Location was amazing, walk to beach. Breakfast was great! Pool heaters were not working. We were told we could go to hotel next door for heated pools. We did do that and was fine.
- sanchez (10/5): -
- A1353GFmariew (10/5): Beach Heaven - Awesome stay. Clean room. Friendly staff. Cold drinks. Clean pool. Broke a pickle jar and maintenance came and cleaned it up immaculately
- nicolefU7865CE (10/5): Fabulous Family Weekend! - A last minute booking for our family and quickly became one of our favorite trips! The holiday inn resort, fort Walton beach is clean, friendly staff, accommodating as they can be. The pool is fun for all ages and a quick walk to the beach was just what we needed for a quick fall reset. There is so much to do on the property and property next door. A short drive down the main street, you have a little of everything heading into Destin. The boardwalk is a fun experience too!
- jeffhN9103VT (6/5): Front desk needs a little help. Terry was awesome and can’t wait to see her again - Todd at the front desk could use a refresher course on customer service. Terry aka Mac and Cheese was awesome. She has a great personality and a warm heart. She was very professional and we hope to see her next time we come down.
- 283terenceb (10/5): Top Notch - TERRY AND My Baby Marsha is THEEEE BEST MAKING ME WANNA EXTEND MY STAY….Do yourself a favor and ask for them when you are there….Best Service EVER🤍🤍🤍🤍
- John (10/5): - Clean right next to ocean Need more activity
- Irasema (7/5): -
- R7854JQdavet (10/5): Riptide restaurant dinner - Our meals at the Riptide restaurant were good. The restaurant staff (Kirk, Terry, and kitchen) were attentive and took good care of us.
- Bertha (10/5): -
- Tasha (7/5): Def recommend - The overall stay was good. Would def stay again. Staff were friendly and accommodating. Waterfall needs fixed. Some parts were working, need more floats for lazy river especially if they are going to share between two properties, game room only had two games working, and breakfast was mediocre for the price.
- Coastal50795071756 (2/5): Don't trust that your reservation will be held - I would give 0 if an option. Don't trust this hotel. I reserved a room in Sept for an Oct stay. As I was sitting in the airport on my way to Florida I decided to use their prearrival check-in to make things easier. HUGE MISTAKE! After I submitted the prearrival the manager claims he ran my card and it was declined. The same card I used repeatedly at the airport for over 3 hours due to a delayed flight. The same card I used to rent a car AND pay for the room at the new hotel. All with no issues but it was supposedly declined at this hotel so he cancelled my reservation and gave it to someone else. He claimed he tried to call me. Let's see, I'm in Minnesota, you are in Florida, just perhaps I was on an airplane and not able to be reached!!! He obviously saw an opportunity to sell my room at a higher rate than what I was paying. I called my credit card company and there is absolutely NO preauthorization on my card from Holiday Inn. When I arrived at this hotel, they had no rooms available for us leaving us stranded after a long day of traveling, scrambling to find a hotel room at 9 pm. I have always leaned towards Holiday Inns in the past due to their fair pricing and decent accommodations. No more!
- Leslie (9/5): This property offers nice amenities and very comfortable rooms with very cordial staff. - Great beach access. Restaurant was not the best. The staff was attentive and friendly, and food was decent . They only offered buffet at breakfast with no a la carte offerings. This a family friendly hotel, but the restaurant is stark and less than inviting .
- X8082ONkevinq (10/5): This is an amazing place to stay, beautiful beach, and amazing staff. - The Manager Christopher made check in so well and easy. He was funny, and informative. Looking forward to another conversation with him.
- Randi (10/5): - Love this hotel
- F2083NVlindas (10/5): Gem on the Emerald Coast - The hotel was full of amenities, including an indoor pool, fitness center and game room. The outdoor lazy river was a lot of fun and easy access to beachfront was just a few yards away. House Dining was excellent and very fresh. The entire hotel was well kept and very clean. The best part of the hotel was the staff! They were very friendly and super accommodating. They even surprised my son with fresh baked cookies for his birthday:) My family had a spectacular time, highly recommend:)
- Arnela (10/5): - Amazing resort
- Titus (10/5): - Great pool and beach view
- Tourist39694413723 (10/5): First Time Visit Positive Energy and Vibe - We had a wonderful first stay at the Holiday Inn Resort Fort Walton Beach. We received a warm greeting and acknowledgment of being a Gold Elite member from Front Desk agents. Communication via text with Kerry Ann was appreciated. Atmosphere was peaceful. Our room was spacious, clean and comfortable. We enjoyed eating meals at the Riptide's restaurant. Our view of the white sand and the blue ocean from our balcony, walking a short distance to the beach to see the sunrise and taking pictures of dolphins from the nearby pier in their natural setting are my favorite memories. Everyone at the resort was very welcoming. Thank you.
- Ping (4/5): - What I dislike most is the bed sheet. I have to get up several times a night to tighten and smooth the bed sheet and the mattress pad,The bed sheet and mattress pad are too small to hold the mattress.
- Julian (10/5): - Great place to stay! Very accommodating with check-in/check-out and super-friendly staff, with reasonable pricing. Will definitely stay again.
- Anastasia (8/5): - Room was Ok. The fitted sheets on the mattress were too small and was CONSTANTLY sliding off. AC is in a window one and took some time to cool off the room (we came in at 11pm and were ready to sleep but it was warm). There is some construction right in front of the hotel. A Cleaning Of Pool on Friday was dragged all the way to 11:30 so kids were not able to swim. But Breakfast was AMAZING. Staff was nice over all.
- Sarah (10/5): - Great beach view, extremely clean beach area w/very soft sand, excellent & fun pools, bar was always hopping in the evening, staff was always so helpful & courteous. We were blown away at how staff went out of their way to push the elevator button for us, welcome us, tell us to have a great day. Having the bunk beds for the kids in the room was perfect-it even had bean bags & their own TV!! The balcony was roomy enough to enjoy & dry towels on. You could rent chairs/umbrellas for a fee each day. It was a perfect stay.
- dalerJ6735AN (10/5): Happy and great - Sasha at front desk was so polite and helpful. All the other staff was also helpful and nice. Anything we needed was just ask for they all were wouderful
- JENNIFER (10/5): - Everything about my stay was perfect. If I had to say something, I would make the balcony a little more private.
- Excursion56475787928 (10/5): Going back - The Resort was clean & the Staff was accommodating & very friendly. Beautifully landscaped & the pool was beautiful. The room was spacious, well lit & very comfortable beds. The Restaurant food was very good & convenient. The service was excellent, well lit were taken care of very quickly. Conveniently located to everything needed & wanted.
- An (10/5): - very nice staff, convience location, reasonable price. Beach has a lot of seaweeds in the afternoon, early morning water is clear and no seaweed. Road Construction is on going in front of hotel, they should have installed some lighting in the entrance of 98 E roadway for ease of exit and enter at night
- John (10/5): - We have stayed there multiple time. Staff and accommodations are excellent.
- Caleb (10/5): - I plan to stay here every visit to Destin. No complaints.
- JASMINE (10/5): - I loved how the property was steps away from the beach and everything you need was right on property! Really enjoyed my stay! Would definitely stay again
- Isaac E. Davis (10/5): - Nice service. Convenient. Good food.
- Bruce (9/5): - Loved everything about it. Met our needs in every way. All good
- melissasX2041BU (10/5): Crystal is a Rock Star 🌟 - We love the eat at the in house restaurant! Crystal is hands-down one of the best waitresses I’ve ever had! She is absolutely beautiful—inside and out—and carries herself with a natural grace that shines even in the middle of a busy shift. What stood out most was how she managed a fast-paced, multitasking job with total efficiency, all while making every guest feel like a friend rather than just a table number. She’s witty, fun to chat with, and has a talent for balancing professionalism with genuine warmth. Even when the restaurant was buzzing, she never seemed rushed or frazzled—just smooth, attentive, and ready with a smile. Crystal is hardworking, talented, and clearly loves what she does, and it shows in the way she makes you feel welcomed and cared for. If you’re lucky enough to sit in her section, your dining experience will definitely be top-notch. Highly recommend asking for Crystal—you’ll leave with great food, great service, and maybe even a new friend!
- lindagZ3465AA (10/5): 10 plus bartender 10 plus cocktails too - Joe is the best bartender around his drinks are awesome and he knows my name whenever I come around with my sister and he knows what we like!!!
- Shelly (4/5): - We paid for an extra clean front room. We were placed on the second floor over maybe an indoor pool. The roof was nasty and Ellie and when sitting, our ocean view was sub par and very small. Our room alarm had a flashing light from our he AC window unit that kept us awake.
- Bryan (10/5): - The staff were amazing
- Emily (10/5): My stay was very nice and I’m ready for another vacation now.. - Very nice and friendly people that works there. Nothing everything was great!!
- 801kennyp (10/5): Expectations blown out the water - Arrived late on Wednesday night and the staff had stayed in touch with me throughout the day to be sure I didn't have any specific needs and confirm my late arrival. Breakfast the next morning was really good even though it's a buffet, the food was hot or cold as it should be (fresh fruit and yogurt were cold) and the staff was friendly and very accommodating. I felt like I was harassing the front desk with all my questions but they assured me that all questions were welcomed and they were here to serve, which is a very welcome change from some of the establishments we've stayed at on the coast. The room was a good size with a great balcony overlooking the nice sized pool, jacuzzi and lazy river features and the beautiful white sand beach. We rented beach setup and it was ready for us with our name reserving the spot. We came for a relaxing end of season break and the resort far exceeded our expectations. Highly recommend booking and we will definitely be returning next year.

- rappitf (10/5): Lovely welcoming service - Great experience. They took great care of me and had excellent energy! Serkan and Sasha were very welcoming. And special thanks and consideration for Tamoy. She went out of her way above and beyond and ensured to take special care of me and my family. Very lovely experience and would definitely rent again!
- Nichole (10/5): - It was just as amazing as it has been the last 7 times we have stayed here. Everyone is so nice and the resort feels like home.
- Mary Ann (10/5): - Everything was clean and all the staff was very nice and attentive. Did not like that they charged for parking. This is our 3rd year here and it was the first time we were charged for parking.
- Steve (8/5): -
- Chanyoung (10/5): - Great I left my wallet in the safe box. I return it.
- Curtis (10/5): - Great place for kids!
- April (10/5): - Great stay. Only down fall we were right next to 6 ac units and over the inside pool. Horrible view. Couldn’t even hear the ocean and unfortunately they were fully booked that night but gave all 3 of us a voucher for the breakfast buffet the next day so that was nice. Next time I’ll specifically ask for another room right when I get there. Avoid room 302!!!

- 619lucim (10/5): Great stay at the Ft. Walton HIR - We had a very enjoyable and comfortable experience at the Holiday Inn Resort (HIR) in Fort Walton, Florida. The entire staff we encountered throughout our stay was welcoming and accommodating to us from the moment we walked into the lobby. HIR prepared a delightful breakfast buffet and staff members, Johnny and Shae, were amazing and attentive in making our breakfast time a very pleasant start to our day. We really loved HIR's easy access to the beach and pool area. We will be coming back to visit Fort Walton's HIR soon!
- Michelle (6/5): Nice hotel - We arrived on Sunday to the hotel. We had a hiccup as soon as we arrived as our card was charged twice as we checked in. Almost $900 twice. As of now after checking out on Wednesday the charges are still pending. The agent did comp our drink cups and early check in fee. The thermostat on our wall was also torn off and couldn't be replaced. We had to try to operate it from the actual unit which didn't work well. The staff was nice, the food was good. They had great activities for the kids. The pool area was nice and clean as was the lobby. All in all it was a good experience minus the credit card snafu and thermostat.
- Jermaine (10/5): - The property an amenities was EVERYTHING i needed
- Randy Joe (10/5): - The breakfast buffet was a wonderful addition to our stay. It was nice knowing that you had a delicious meal waiting for you once you woke up and were ready to take on the day.
