Beach overlook was great. Bed was not nice it was a platform style with no box was loud when you moved and not super comfortable. Everything was beautiful really wish we could have gotten there sooner for some of amenties. Look forward to booking again sometime.

Always a great stay at The Island, I love this hotel....been going here for years

3.0 / 10.0

Overall we had a really good time. Rooms were clean and had a great view of the ocean. Only bad thing for the rooms is the walls are really thin and you can hear everything in the hall and next door rooms. Both outdoor bars and restaurant were closed. Was really looking to go to the grotto bar but that didn’t happen. Most of the staff was helpful and food was good. Drinks were not the best and overpriced but there are local places with really good drinks.

1.0 / 10.0

While hotel was decent and room was good, Charged $259 over for what? Breakfast said $12 for buffet, but was no buffet. Then said wanted to charge for parking, ok so I figure $10 or so. Leave and get a $259 charge for off season, no buffet, pools closed, terrible to charge this much for Monday to Wednesday stay and off season. Felt a bit scammed

4.0 / 10.0

Everything was great, would highly recommend!

3.0 / 10.0

Overall, our stay at the resort did not quite hit the mark. While there were some positives such as being able to check in early, easy beach access, and friendly housekeeping staff, there were several downsides that affected our experience. The beach was very crowded and there was a volleyball event taking place which made it nearly impossible to find a spot to set up. Additionally, there were sand grits on the floor of our room upon arrival, which is umderstamdable given it is impossible to clean it all. Our floor was also full of party goers, who were disruptive and even banged on our door in the middle of the night thinking they were at their room. We had trouble locating towels for the pool and had to figure things out on our own. We also thought our stay included breakfast buffet, but that was not the case. The lack of a fan option in the room to drown out noise from other guests was also a downside. In hindsight, we wish we had chosen a condo for our stay instead. Overall, while there were some positives, the negatives outweighed them and we were left feeling disappointed with our experience at the resort.

4.0 / 10.0

Beach front units were nice but back units were low quality, you can hear neighbors and rooms were older and didn’t smell nice, pictures in the posting show only the beachfront units and obscure the fact there are other older not so nice units in the back and sides of the property.

5.0 / 10.0

All the staff were very friendly. The beach view was gorgeous. We loved the pools and all the amenities available

We had a pool view room. The Grotto Pool, that we were facing is beautiful. Being on the 5th floor, we could also see the side of the bay. The place was exceptionally clean and the staff was first class.

1.0 / 10.0

The island resort had no feeling of a resort at all. Clearly under staffed. Under delivered and quite uncomfortable. The hotel decided to hold a swingers convention which left my wife and her friend being cornered by men in nothing but silk robes. For the amount of money this place cost you’d think that at minimum you’d be able to feel comfortable walking around your hotel with KIDS. I don’t understand. Truly. Do better.

4.0 / 10.0

Room was pretty clean, nothing special. Had a standard room. Had problems checking in after paying on hotels.com and almost paid 3x the cost but ended up getting it figured out. Gorgeous place, nice walk to the beach, food , coffee shops and lots of pools on the property.

4.0 / 10.0

Our stay at the island resort was very comfortable. The other guests were friendly and the staff was great especially Laura, Michelle, and Lucy. The only complaint is that housekeeping never came and the towels were stained slightly. The pool was gorgeous and the grotto bar was fun. We had a very good stay. Thank you to the restaurant staff and bar staff for being so kind!

5.0 / 10.0

great ocean view

4.0 / 10.0

It’s a very good place overall. The staff is extremely kind, and the customer service is excellent. The hotel offers good amenities and is relatively comfortable, though it can be a bit noisy due to limited soundproofing. It’s not particularly eco-friendly, as towels were replaced daily despite leaving them in the correct place for reuse. Although the hotel is somewhat old, the facilities and furniture are very well maintained over time and kept spotlessly clean.

5.0 / 10.0

This resort was beautiful. I will return when i can stay longer to enjoy the property.

5.0 / 10.0

The property was very nice and the staff was very very friendly. Everyone went above and beyond to make our stay wonderful. The only thing I would say I was unhappy with was the bathroom in our room. I don’t know if all the rooms are the same, but there was no countertop space whatsoever to really put anything and no shelving in the shower to put toiletries. It was not very practical. Lucy was our server at breakfast most mornings and she was amazing and went above and beyond to provide excellent customer service.

4.0 / 10.0

Our room was great, except there was nothing comfortable to sit on in the room. Room needed a couple of arm chairs at least!

Absolutely beautiful beach location!! So many amenities are offered and the entire staff is exemplary!! This is truly an amazing place to experience!!

4.0 / 10.0

The only real complaint we had was they charge a daily “resort fee” , which is a bit ridiculous being it is basically a hotel . They also charged a daily parking fee which we had no knowledge of until check in . If we had that information prior to making the reservation, it may have changed our choice since it significantly increased the cost of our stay.

5.0 / 10.0

I have been going to this location for almost 30 years, since it was the Ramada Plaza Beach Resort. It is always excellent. Every staff member we encountered was top notch. The location can’t be beat. You walk to the back of the property and you are on the beach. Depending on which room you select, you can walk out of your room and be on the beach or in the pool. Everything you need is right here. Destin is just a few miles away, across the bay bridge. I do have one complaint. The water in the grotto pool was so cold, that we couldn’t swim in it. We tried, and we just couldn’t stay in the cold water. Some people were swimming, so apparently it didn’t bother them. I heard other people leaving the grotto pool and going to the other smaller pool because the water was so cold. Other than that, I have no complaints and will continue to stay here.

5.0 / 10.0

My husband and I had a fantastic weekend! Loved the waterfall pool, it was cold but refreshing, the heated pool, hot tub and fantastic beach! The room itself was nice. The frills were outside! Taking a walk through the resort was nice gardens and small soothing waterfalls! They had several bars, restaurant, food truck and the food was pretty good too!

5.0 / 10.0

Amazing experience. Super friendly and helpful staff.

5.0 / 10.0

Wonderful vacation and hotel! Room was clean and comfortable. Staff very friendly, so much to do! Wish there was coffee in the lobby as the room coffee was nasty and the coffee shop doesn’t open until 8am. The pools were awesome and it was super convenient to walk down to the beach and get chair and umbrella rentals. Cocktails are expensive so budget for that

5.0 / 10.0

This trip was amazing! The Island impressed on all levels. We had a beautiful view of the beach from our balcony. The accommodations were perfect! I'd visit again and again 🌹

5.0 / 10.0

Unfortunately we only stayed one day. Beautiful room view pools. But you definitely need an upgrade on your food for the price your charging.
