    The price was a little steep for the room. I think more could have been provided for the price.

    The location was nice and convenient. The room was clean. We had pretty much everything we needed for our stay.

    The bed was pretty hard and the pillows were either very hard or so soft that it didn’t even feel like I was using one.

    The location was great. The view from the balcony was beautiful. I loved that I was able to access Netflix on the tv.

    Tax and resort fee was bit expensive but fair for Memorial Day weekend and luxury. I hated how many emails I got. Too many repetitive information. I wish there was just one email and maybe one reminder.

    Location. Walkable distance to the shore. Also loved the resort. Safety and privacy.

    The unit was so basic, for what it cost per night. Maybe a bit more luxury could be added with better bedding, decorating, etc. I wouldn’t have thought of this, but after taking a nasty fall getting out of the slippery tub, a grab bar and an anti-slip coating on the tub would help solve the problem of the tub height being so different from the bathroom floor height.

    the Sandestin grounds were very lovely. The unit itself, for the money, was fairly basic.

    Good location / facilities, bad room.
    • Leisure trip

    Literally everything could have been better, this was the noisiest room, from HVAC noises, to being able to hear everything going on outside the room, elevator noises, people talking, etc, and the "noise machine" that was supposed to be in the room was non-existent. The fridge/freezer smelled bad (moldy / mildew), to the point that I cleaned it out with lysol wipes to make it half usable, there was hair from a previous occupant left in the shower, and when you turned on the shower fan the entire bathroom and then room would start smelling strongly of garlic, so I'd rate it very low for cleanliness. The blackout curtains worked except that they only cover around 95% of the patio, letting in plenty of light which rather defeats the purpose. The bed itself was overly soft (memory foam I believe), though that is more of a personal preference thing. The internet was not the best, though I may be biased as I am used to fiber, and the TV while large and offering free netflix / a range of channels, was probably the slowest "smart" TV I have ever seen and thus very frustrating to use, supposedly it was only 2 years old as of the time of this review but I have a 10+ year old smart TV that puts this one to shame.

    The only redeeming thing about this stay was the location, it took a bit to figure out the resort (no good instructions / maps / etc), but once that was figured we enjoyed the facilities available, hot tub / pool, and the beach was phenomenal!

    Not having an ice maker in the building nor an ice bucket in the room was very poor. The hike to the beach and back was a deal breaker for me. Also you couldn’t unpack your clothes there was nowhere to put folded clothing
