Nice clean condo with an excellent view of the pool and Gulf of America. The property was landscaped and manicured beautifully with gorgeous plants and flowers throughout, as well as jasmine along the pool fence to provide a nice aroma. The 4th floor was prime because it was easy enough to take the stairs if need be and high enough to see the water without obstruction. Bathrooms were moderately updated. Bedrooms were comfortable. If you plan on cooking, I would recommend bringing your own pan or two as the ones offered are all scratched and in poor condition. 7.5/10 Would stay again.

Our unit appeared to have been cleaned, but we found a pair of earrings (turned in to front desk) next to the bed and a Pringles can behind the nightstand in the Main bedroom. There was a large amount of hair stuck to the bottom of the Main bathroom door. This unit could use a deep clean. There was a painting project going on during our stay, and there was a massive communication issue with the workers and the resort staff. We were leaving for dinner one evening and found that we had been sealed in our room with plastic so they could paint. The front desk staff did come up and remove the plastic for us so we did not have to be concerned about getting paint on us. The morning we were checking out, the paint crew was back and had drop cloths and cardboard laying in the walkway in front of our unit. This made it difficult for us to get out as well as a safety concern to walk on. If we had been notified, we would have left our room earlier. There was a note at the desk and on the elevator door letting guests know what was being done each day, but that plan was clearly not followed. The staff was great and very helpful with any issues we had, just no communication between them and the painting contractor. The beach service was among the best we’ve had since we been coming to Destin.

Our stay was overall good however the new policy is only 4 beach towels per room and when you book the room for 6 well you need 6!! Towel exchange is only a couple days a week which stinks... would prefer to be able to exchange daily if needed. Our room didn’t have enough pillow cases or linens for the pull out couch bed. The staff at the front desk were very friendly and helpful.
