18 reviews for Sandestin Golf and Beach Resort, Destin
One of my favorite places
By Discerning, 01/04/10
The review I intended to write for the resort somehow was posted to the Hilton. I never stayed there and couldn't write a review for it but have stayed at Sandestin many times and love everything about it. The most recent trip was for the wine festival last year and we thoroughly enjoyed it. This place is hard to beat for location, surf, sand, golf and seafood. The Village has a lot to offer, especially night life, which is great for not having to leave the resort but there are great restaurants and golf courses all over Destin. Super place!

This is definitely a do over trip.
By Happy Traveler, 09/15/09
Sandestin Resort was a great family destination. Very nice grounds. We stayed in the Windward tower in a 1 bedroom condo that was very nice. Loved, loved, loved the beach view from the very oversized balcony. Beach was very nice and most importantly my 3 year old loved the kiddie pool as well as the beach. We will definitely come back to Sandestin. Wish we had more time to use the free bicycle rental.
 
 
 
 
 
Best place to stay in Destin
By Ray, 09/07/09
Loved this place. My husband and I left Texas on a whim with really no idea where we were going to stay. Told him on the way there I saw this place on the internet and we should try it. I'm so glad we did. We stayed at the Village in the pilot house. The rooms were wonderful and we had our own balcony. Everything was so clean. The tram was really nice too. We loveed the shopping and restaurants there. Really did not have to leave the resort at all. Would recommend this lovely place to everyone. My husband played the Baytowne golf course and had a great time. We took the tram across the street to to the beach which is, of course, beautiful. Overall great tijme.

BEST PLACE EVER
By o, 03/07/09
i have been visiting Sandestin Resort for the last 15 years, i guess i have seen them build this place to a five star resort, it is worth my time and money, i stayed on dockside in a house, you have a lot of things to do with your family, i recommend it to everyone, the experience is very relaxing.

Not kept up
By Bigbootie, 07/14/08
Beachwalk condo was very dirty on the exterior. Interior not a whole lot better. Room was not clean on arrival so I was givin free miniature golf passes. Miniature golf course needed maintenance 10 years ago and counting. Pool is small .Tram service is a joke. Overpriced. Whirlpool tub in master bedroom however is disabled unless you are an "owner". Better places to stay in area or even at the same resort. Stay somewhere else...not Beachwalk. It is an expensive dissappointment.

Not as good as expected
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 05/18/08
The resort exterior & grounds were beautiful--however the condo we rented needed maintenance. The washer & dryer were worked poorly; the balcony sliding screen door was broken and leaning against a wall on the balcony; several electrical outlet covers were broken & needed replacing; the ceiling above the tub/shower had a leak from the condo above ours. When the latter was reported, maintenance did not respond for over 24 hours. The security staff, maintenance staff, and many members(but not all) of the beach staff were friendly and helpful. The registration desk staff had a very indifferent attitude...as if our being there was a bother to them. The condo's furnishing were generally comfortable, the quality was not on par with a resort portraying itself as a world-class resort. Though the beach was great and the surrounding landscaping was unparalleled, we will not be likely to return to this resort.

filthy and no service
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 04/29/08
if the employees bother speaking to you, you'll wish they didn't. it's clear none of them have never left the area because they believe that you are lucky to be there. it is the most filthy, tacky place i've ever been to. plenty of drunks in the "village" not safe at all for children. music is only relevant to the 10 people who enjoy jimmy buffet. DON'T EAT THE FOOD. i don't want to tell you what happened to 3 out of the 6 people in our party!

Great girl's weekend getaway!
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 01/17/08
Invited 6 girlfriends to meet on the Emerald Coast for a "getaway---didn't want to leave! We shopped in the Village of Baytowne Wharf, loved the personalized monogramming store Frill Seekers Gifts, doggie treats at Bark Avenue and coastal bath and both treats at Tales by the Sea. Restaurants were accomodating particularly Marlin Grill, Bistro Bijoux, and Graffitti's. The beaches are amazing. We did not leave the resort once. Can't wait to go back.

Awesome
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 09/20/06
We enjoyed our stay at the Westwinds resort at San Destin Golf/Beach resort. We arrived at 9AM and were able to get into our room right away. Check in was simple and painless. Our kids enjoyed the pool, beach, and bike rides. Crowds were sparce which was fine with me. Weather was perfect, and entertainment was plentiful. Our only complaints were with the food quality/price at some of the restaraunts as well as a green algae/vegetation in the ocean along the beach.
