As a loyal hilton customer i booked this hotel putting good faith in the Hilton brand. In destin/sandestin/miramar beach area this is by far one of the best options out there if you can afford the price tag. This hotel is impressive, right on the beach with all amenities you could want including beach services from 9am-5pm like chairs/umbrellas ($39 fee plus reservation recommend ed) plus bar service. Pools are excellent even indoor pool with jacuzzi. All common spaces seem to be renovated and include restaurants, bars, sushi, gifts shops, ice cream parlor and coffee shops. Essentially if you wish to remain on resort you have everything there. Staff overall was friendly and helpful at front desk. Rooms are spectacular if you get ocean view junior suite. Only thing i was disappointed in during my 5 night stay was i attributed to lack of quality leadership of the hotel management team for not following up and enforcing nonsmoking rules. I fully enjoyed my vacation until 3rd night when more people checked in and decided to smoke cigars all day out on balcony and including marijuana at night which just filled my room up with unpleasant smell. I could not even enjoy being outside my room without smelling distasteful cigars/weed. After several complaints to staff the problem just persisted without resolution. This is the only negative of my entire stay at Hilton Sandestin Resort and I out that on leadership team for not enforcing rules and following up when issues occur. Aside from that i would still highly recommend this resort to anyone looking for great beach getaway. I give this hotel overall 4.0 out of 5.
