The best location is Destin. You can see everything, including the fishing and luxury boats traveling by, within walking distance of many shops and restaurants.

Checked in to find a dirty diaper in one of the rooms on the side of the bed our 12 year old kept saying her room smelled she found garbage under the mattress.
Dirty bedding, blood on mattress protector so the must not of changed the sheets cause it was noticeable.
Dirty dingy looking towels like if the towels are dirty throw them out that’s a no brainer.
Tv ‘s are outdated cords hanging all over.
Floors so filthy turned our kids feet dirty within an hr.
The room needed a good deep clean it was like the put stuff together to make an extra room.
The hotel itself was clean smelled nice.
The desk staff and all workers friendly professional and nice.
It was the room itself that I was very disappointed in we stayed here in December 2024 and our room was clean stocked nice.

The outside of the building is beautiful but beware of staff promises which ended up being hollow and costing us.
I was unknowingly scammed by promises made but not delivered l both in calls by parent company Wyndham corporate timeshare sales both via phone calls and locally when we showed. We ended up taking our business elsewhere after a simple carefree sorry from the manager who really didn’t care that a potential buyer couple had to walk away. It cost us time, aggravation and minor additional costs but fortunately no serious economic loss.
As for points I had for a 2 nite, well to me they are worthless. I think it was 2500 points, maybe had another zero.

Beautiful location overlooking the water from every window. Watching the sunset every night. Watching the fog rolling in the morning. It was truly magical.

Great location with amazing facilities.
We stayed in sunset suites right on the boardwalk. Rooms were clean and spacious.
Walking distance to lot of restaurants
The sunset view from room was the cherry on the top.
