Good location, very nice reception and lounge area. Breakfast buffet is overpriced, food was average at best. Must have hired new evening front desk staff, seemed inexperienced, key did not work, they forgot wake-up call. Have stayed there before and did not have the problems. more

Being strictly Marriott customers, I can honesty say not only was this hotel was one of the nicest Courtyards I’ve stayed in, but for the money and location, you just cannot go wrong. We originally were going to stay at the Hilton, but the recent reviews were so negative, we decided to cancel. We were then going to stay at... more

I can't say enough good things about this property. Comfortable rooms, attentive staff, and great beds. Not cheap, however worth the money. My only complaint would be that for a hotel of this size there are only 2 elevators and they are so slow that the stairs are far easier. Gorgeous location and free transportation are major pluses. more

My husband and I visited Destin in September 07. Usually we go to Central or South Florida, but I was recovering from surgery and just needed a shorter drive; therfore, Destin was the chosen destination, and surely we made the right choice. We visited Destin some 10 to 15 years ago, and was not impressed at all, but I must... more

Both times I stayed at this Courtyard (for work) were pleasant. The rooms are clean and comfortable and there are nice little touches like a free newspaper, free coffee all day, free cookies in the afternoon and sometimes appetizers at the bar, and a free shuttle to the nearby shopping and dining area. They also have a little snack bar... more

We had issues with 2 hotels in 2 nights in our 3 night vacation to Destin and needed another hotel. Called the Courtyard at 7am and they had a room ready for us at 9am, WAY before check-in. This place is awesome, was a savior after problems with the highly rated Wingate. The price is a little higher and it... more

We have just returned from Destin, FL. I took my two grandchildren ages 2 and 5. The room I had was a King size suite and it was very spacious and because the hotel is so new, the room was very comfortable. The bed was just right and the carpet was clean and the maids did a fantastic job of... more

We were so impressed with this hotel! The lobby is feels very beachy - and nicer then many Courtyards I've seen. Staff was very friendly. We had a suite with 2 queen beds (plus a sofa bed) on the 5th floor ($199/night). The suite was huge with updated furnishings. The bathroom was a nice size with nice ceramic tile and... more

This is on the right end of the Emerald Pkwy strip. The action is about 4-5 miles to the left where Destin Commons/Outlet Mall/Restaurants are. This was an excellent value for $159/night on a AAA rate. Only things compared to this were Days Inn/Comfort Inn at the time (june 07). Very comfy beds, excellent decor/amenities/bathroom. Only gripe is the Elevator... more
