The Palms of Destin Resort

This was my first time visiting this resort (though not my first time in Destin). During my April stay, only one elevator was working, which was definitely an inconvenience at times. That said, the grounds were beautiful and clean, and I had a nice view of the pool. My Airbnb itself was gorgeous, with a partial ocean view and a perfect location right in the heart of Destin — close to shops, beaches, and restaurants. You just have to pack your patience in situations like this. The front desk staff was friendly and informative, and they really went above and beyond for me. I accidentally left my phone in an Uber, and panic definitely set in, but they stayed calm, patient, and even let me use their cell phone to contact the driver. They offered all the help they could, and I truly appreciate

Beautiful resort! Nicely maintained. Our villa was very nice and we enjoyed having such easy access to the pool area. However, as big and beautiful that the hot tub area is, it is constantly being ran over with by kids. Families are letting the kids use it as their pool. There is a heated pool close by and we couldn’t get in that area as well because of all the kids. We love kids and know that the pools are open game to all. The hot tub area should be better restricted. A little hard to enjoy when its a bunch of kids scuba diving and having baby floats, etc in there. ||One popular gate to the pool grounds is in front of our villa. There is no “spring “ on the gate and no one seems to think to close it themselves. They open it and then it slams very loudly. It can be constant. We enjoye

Our stay at the Palms of Destin was bittersweet. On one hand, the individual condo unit we occupied was truly excellent. It was spacious, well-maintained, and successfully captured a cozy, home-like feeling that made our vacation relaxing and comfortable. We have absolutely no complaints about the accommodation itself—it was great! However, our experience with the resort amenities, which we have come to love and rely on, was deeply disappointing. We have visited the Palms of Destin many times before (for Thanksgiving, Spring Break, and Summer), and during all previous trips, the Bistro, Coffeehouse, and Bar were fully open and operational. We were even able to enjoy a Thanksgiving dinner here previously. Imagine our surprise and disappointment upon checking in only to be told that these

First night here and I’m already disappointed. For the price of a 3 night stay I certainly expected more. Parking was ridiculous, and ZERO carts to help bring in your bags. The tables in the living room are scratched and look dirty. The carpets are full of gross mystery stains as well as the couch. The living room tv has no remote to even use it. The master bedroom has no overhead lighting, only a squeaky ceiling fan and lamps. The balcony furniture is damaged and scratches you when sitting. The listing states a “Sea View” however the only view I can see is Joe’s Crab Shack. So much for a relaxing weekend, and $800 wasted.

Just visited. Was not overly impressed. The pool area was really nice and they had a comedian show. Shores of Panama unit 616 in Panama City Beach is the best place to vacation.
