Courtyard Fort Walton Beach-West Destin

This was a somewhat overpriced, average property. While it was technically a beachfront hotel, it was set well back off the beach behind an older, 1-story structure. Because of this, the view included vistas off the ocean but also of the parking lot and support areas on the property. In addition, a long, odd, elevated walkway was installed to get guests from the hotel to the beach. It worked, but it looked like a workaround. The property shows signs of aging. It wasn’t terrible, and buildings have a life cycle, but great management and facilities staff can work to slow the decline. It’s possible to keep older properties looking sharp. This one doesn’t quite get it. Not a major problem, but the shower valve had to be cranked down to keep the head from dripping. Another indication of how the facilities are maintained. Overall, this is an ok property. If you need a please to stay, this will do, but better values can be found with little effort.

My stay was wonderful, I travel for my 62 year old birthday get-a-way this weekend.

The front desk staff were amazing, but we had daily issues with the cleaning staff. We would leave the hotel at 8:00 am and they would be standing in the hall on their cellphones. When we came back in late afternoon our room was still not cleaned. I had to go ask for clean towels, since they never cleaned. When we left for dinner they came and made beds, and then took our clean towels. They did not refill coffee or soaps.

The hotel was very nice inside and out only thing I would change is the length of time we stayed

It was a nice place to stay for the night. Close to the beach.

Wonderful hotel very private with beach access. Could use a different way to access the walkway to the beach. You had togo through the frontdesk and dining area, or all the way to the parking and go through the pool area..

So upon arrival we learned we had to go up a floor to reach the lobby. Parking area is under hotel. I booked this hotel because their photos give off the idea that the hotel is on the beach. My in-laws are 70 and have a hard time walking and wanted to see the beach. The photos gave off a vibe that you walk out the door to a poolside beach. There is actually an elevated walkway that you have to take to reach the beach that goes down but the walk back up was pretty tough. Also I hopped floors for two days and all the ice machines weren’t functioning. I had to go to the front desk to get ice. If you have any trouble walking be careful where you book. The room was clean, and most of the staff was friendly. however the reason we took the trip was so they could enjoy the beach however they never made it to the sand so it was a waste of $500 for the room and the 4 hour drive to get there. I did voice my concern when we arrived but we were locked in with ******* and no rooms were available in the area so we had to stay. I’m posting an honest review for others. This would be a great place for families with children .

Location great, room clean, Indoor carpet and walls seemed dirty and greasy

Family trip. Hotel was right on the beach. Beautiful view, lovely room & food in the dining room was amazing.
