Off season girls trip
The walls are paper thin you can hear your next door neighbors conversation clearly. My first night no sleep a party was going on in the room. When the was party was over the baby cried all night and morning. Second night the neighbor on each side had checked out it was peaceful. The last night was a nightmare two wedding parties loud noise people running up and down the hall from room to room slamming doors ALL NIGHT! If you are planning on using the ironing board please use a towel on it or request a new one. The white padding under the blue cover on the board stained my shirt with the white pattern padding underneath. If you don’t mind the noise paper thin walls I guess this is a great place for you.

We visited during the Thanksgiving break. Views were beautiful, room was clean, and service from the restaurant staff was fantastic. The only thing that was a little disappointing was the bridge was out and the bar inside the cave was closed during our stay. I grew up at this resort a long time ago when it was the Ramada Inn. The upgrades are nice and I plan on coming back.

My room was freezing as the AC was broken and would not shut off. I called downstairs to tell them and at 5am they brought an elder man into my room to look at the thermostat and then moved me to another room. The AC unit made a terrible noise and during the middle of the night, I was freezing. During my check-in I had breakfast tickets which I paid for and were not given to me, however, they then handed them to me during check-out. I did like the balcony and dinner at the bar. The fish tacos tasted great.

Our stay was incredible at The Island Resort at Fort Walton Beach. Room was very neat, clean, and the hotel in general was very well maintained. Staff was extremely friendly and always there to accommodate any needs you may have or need. Restaurant onsite has excellent food as well. We will most definitely be going back there on our next visiting. I would highly recommend this resort which is right on the beautiful beach - a huge plus for me!!!

Awesome location, right on the beach . The room looked newly renovated but wish it was bigger . No cabinet in the room made it hard to store the big suitcases . We had breakfast included, and it was pretty good. So overall it was fine stay experience.
