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.

Great stay

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.

Clean, comfortable, and friendly

Reviewed By MSanchoH

Although I expected the hotel to be clean, I was downright impressed with just how clean the entire facility was. Every employee that I crossed paths with during my stay was extremely pleasant and helpful, and the overall vibe helped make our trip that much better. The hotel is not located on the beach side, so there are no views to speak of, but it is in a very nice walking community that is full of upscale amenities that adds to the overall experience.

Honeymoon

Reviewed By Kristin M

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.

Family trip to Miramar beach

Reviewed By BeachBank134

Great family trip to the Miramar area. I was a tad bit disappointed that beach access meant walking across the street to the beach but still better than driving to the beach. Hot breakfast and omelette station was great. Room was clean upon arrival. Towels were available when requested. Added bonus of ceiling fans in room, great surprise. Small pool and no jets in hut tub but they were still an option before and after beach fun. Evening reception was available but snack offerings of cheese puffs, peanuts and pretzels was a disappointment when compared to other Embassy’s. Service was exceptional, great staff.

Average hotel but don't book it for beach access in walking distance

Reviewed By freq-traveler-112233

Had a studio room which was quite large. Hotel was kept clean but could use some updating. I had a corner room with nice motorized window shades. The breakfast in the morning was sufficient but nothing to rave about - cereal, wheat waffles, pre-made omelets, muffins, fruit, etc but was basically exactly the same every day. The front desk staff was usually polite but not very friendly. I didn't have a dog but it is a dog friendly hotel. Room service was provided on the 5th day unless you requested it sooner. They were good about getting you clean towels and you could either leave your towels outside the door or ask for more at the front desk. The Wi-Fi worked pretty well and I could stream movies on my Ipad with the standard connection. The room had a microwave and apartment size refrigerator/freezer which was very nice. Masks were optional but they did have sanitizer and sanitizing wipes in the hallways. The outdoor pool was nice but there was the occasional adult at the pool playing loud music on bluetooth speakers which was annoying. The location was good in that it was close to Hwy 98 and the beach. However, the beach access near the hotel was terrible. You could walk to the beach but a large majority of the beach was roped off as private for the condos located on the beach. You really only had a tiny area to squeeze a very large crowd of people in. It was one of the most crowded beach areas I've ever seen and I have been all over the country. Their front desk staff tell you how to walk to that beach access but if you are staying there so you can walk to the beach, forget it -unless you love the idea of being within two feet of strangers all day long. We ended up driving to a public beach access down the road from the hotel which was much nicer and not as crowded. I'm rating it 3 stars because it was a nice, clean hotel and I had gotten a good rate but it was nothing to rave about.

Just 2 pros - breakfast and location

Reviewed By X8479EWlauras

No pool bar, pool towels get “checked out” and returned at the front desk…. What!!! The pool gate was broken, anyone could easily reach from the insider to open the gate…. Which is how all the guests got into the pool area, not sure the purpose of the key card. Broken ice machine on 1st floor. No coffee or hot water available after breakfast. Good selection for breakfast.
