Top Destin Hotel Reviews

Homewood Suites by Hilton Destin

Homewood Suites by Hilton Destin

10/10 Excellent
"My husband and I traveled from NY here for 11 nights. Initially the front desk staff was great. Our time spent here was amazing, the staff were always cleaning. All the amenities were great. But what really stood out were the ladies that worked in the kitchen and breakfast area. These women go over and above friendly. The food is delish and always full and hot. The area kept neat and clean. But the personalities of these ladies… these are the women you want to be around. My husband and I are born again Christians and we were even invited to attend church with one of the ladies. Which we did, and it was beautiful and spirit filled. If and when we ever come back to Destin we will stay here, (and attend church at The Sanctuary in Fort Walton). I can’t give these ladies enough praise. We left very early in the morning and were not able to say good bye to them. So if you get to read this, God bless you all abundantly!!"
