Destin Resorts | Places to Stay in Destin

April 20, 2023 Agatha Simes

Destin is located on Florida’s Emerald Coast, which gets its name from its beautiful, clear green water. Beaches here have extremely fine, soft sand, so if you’re a beach-walker or your kids enjoy building sand castles, this could be a great destination for you.

Pilot house room was terrible. Dingy and weird Oder. Very outdated. However my desk attendant Alston Cardoz was amazing and worked to make great accommodation at Osprey which was a phenomenal place. Overall experience 5. Just avoid pilot house if possible.

Our room was great! Lots of room. The hotel was extremely crowded, but we only stayed 1 night because the hotel was booked all week. It was a Friday, so I understand that’s why it was so crowded. Love the breakfast.

The Henderson Beach Resort

Reminiscent of a luxurious grand seaside manner of yesteryear, Henderson Beach Resort, a Salamander Beach & Spa Resort, seamlessly blends modern conveniences with the nostalgia of days gone by - all set against a backdrop of the authentic bustling beach town of Destin located on the Northwest Florida Gulf Coast. With reverence to its humble beginnings and nautical history as "The World's Luckiest Fishing Village," The Henderson beautifully captures the timeless romance of traditional coastal architecture and complements it with spectacular sunset celebrations, sumptuous sea-to-table cuisine and toes-in-the-sand hospitality - all delivered with five-star level service. Nestled between the Gulf of Mexico and 200 acres of pristine nature preserve, this gracious, four-story 170-room resort hotel is the ultimate beach retreat for both leisure and business travel.

We stayed here at The Henderson for the first part of our Honeymoon. We didn't have great weather, so we got a lot of experience with the spa, dining, and in room dining services. The pool and beach when we were able to go were very nice. The adult only pool looked wonderful. The lazy river was fun.

As airline employees we have stayed at hundreds of hotels over many years and this was by far the worst hotel we have ever experienced. Too many problems to list but the most concerning issue was none of the problems were rectified or addressed during our stay by management. Complete incompetence.
