Location
Reviews and Ratings
I absolutely loved my stay at the Emerald Grande Resort. The rooms were very spacious and equipped with everything we needed to relax, cook, and have entertainment. The service, particularly with the manager, was very nice and helpful. The location is great, in the heart of Destin and Harborwalk Village, with lots of things to do within walking distance. The dining experience left much to be desired, but the traditional meals were decent. The facilities were top-notch and added to the overall great experience.
The hotel offers great restaurants and shopping nearby, but the presence of screaming kids was quite overwhelming. Despite that, the staff was very attentive to our needs and respectful, making our stay enjoyable overall. The dining experience was unforgettable, while the private beach was a letdown. The location is convenient, with easy access to various attractions.
The hotel rooms were incredibly spacious, like staying in a house, with a full kitchen and three large bathrooms. However, the noise from the bar kept me up at night. The service was friendly overall but a bit rushed upon check-in. The location was pleasant but noisy due to lots of kids. The dining experience was unforgettable but not in a good way. The facilities were adequate but nothing special.
The hotel offers spacious rooms with a kitchenette and living area, but be prepared for high maintenance girly girls on a night the bar closes. The service is attentive and respectful, though they might rush you into an unclean room. The location provides a mix of great experiences but also requires dealing with a parking headache. The dining experience could be unforgettable, or you may end up with cold powdered eggs in a to-go container. The facilities offer some good features but might lack in certain areas.
Upon arrival, the rooms were much warmer than the main space despite adjusting the thermostat. There was a need for a makeover, and the ambiance felt lacking with noise from outside. The location was fantastic, offering a variety of attractions within walking distance, but the dining experience fell short with subpar options.
Our stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The location was great, near excellent dining options and fishing charters, but some aspects left us underwhelmed. The rooms had issues like an incorrectly installed dishwasher and extra fees, while we found the breakfast disappointing. However, the staff seemed to care about their job, and the pool area was well-maintained.
The hotel offers very spacious and equipped rooms with high-end appliances and furnishings, though some cleanliness issues were noted. The service was a mix of nice and unprofessional attitudes. The location provides access to great dining and activities but may leave some underwhelmed. The dining experience had some shortcomings with cold breakfast options, and the facilities were satisfactory overall.
The hotel offers a scenic view on the 3rd floor but falls short with high maintenance girly girls around and baggage-filled arms. Overall, the location is perfect within walking distance of Harborwalk Village and dining options, though the dining experience of cold powdered eggs in a styrofoam container leaves much to be desired.
My stay at the hotel exceeded my expectations in many ways. The rooms were incredibly spacious and had everything we needed to relax, cook, and enjoy some entertainment. However, the service, especially regarding the washing machine issue, left a bit to be desired. The location was superb, right in the heart of Destin and Harborwalk Village, but the parking situation was a hassle. The dining experience was unforgettable, but there were some drawbacks with the facilities.
My stay at the hotel was phenomenal! The room I had was truly amazing, it was very spacious and a three-bedroom, three-bath unit with killer views of the Harbor, bay, and ocean. The only downside was that the rooms were much warmer than the main space, even after adjusting the thermostat temperature.
