The Island Resort at Fort Walton Beach

Exceptional

Good but some kinks. Ask...

Liked: The 3 pools and the buffet breakfast or choice of ordering off breakfast menu.
Disliked: We didn’t know there wouldn’t be an elevator until after we had checked in and were getting to our room. we were in the part of resort with 2 floors and no elevator. It was hard on my husband due to bad knees and back. Also our electric plugs did not work next to the bed unless you kept the bathroom light on. There was a window between the bathroom and bedroom. The bathroom light shined right on the bed all night. We had to use the bedside plug in due to using a CPAP machine.

Perfect in every way. Defintely...

Liked: Love all of the amenities and variety of restaurants in walking distance. Very nice pool and property.
Disliked: Wish we had a freezer section in the frig. No other complaints

Great stay but will probably...

Liked: Great location. Friendly staff.
Disliked: I didn’t feel like the rooms were as clean as they could be. Also not a fan of the shower heads. Super inconvenient.

Passable

Always love the beach, but...

Liked: Location was great
Disliked: The resort itself was above average, however the room itself was disappointing. Have stayed in rooms on the interstate that were a lot better. Over priced and was charged for one of the complementary breakfast’s.

This place sucks!

Liked: The convenient location to other attractions
Disliked: The property was not very clean, staff was rude, amenities were limited, and there were many hidden charges - according to the website and booking.com, the stay includes free breakfast, yet that breakfast is charged to your room at 24.99 a person(luke-warm buffet) and another three or four dollars per drink on top of that. Then they charge $15 a day for parking plus service fees, and they add fees to everything including using the in pool bar. I have to say this was one of the worst places I’ve stayed, and the value for dollar is extremely low. This was the kind of experience I would expect for $69.00 night, not 3-400! Save your money and stay somewhere better!

Very good
