    Roach
    Melissa F.

    We stayed here for 3 nights and the location is great but the hotel left a very bad memory. We the day before we left, we discovered 2 cockroaches in our unit and we complained to the front desk who told us we would have to get ahold of Wyndham for recompense. Wyndham directed it back to the hotel to make things right. The hotel said they would spray our room, while we went to dinner and they would have a gift for our trouble, when we returned from dinner. After we returned from dinner, at 930pm, the hotel gives us a hotel credit towards dinner at the hotel restaurant. Seriously? And on top of that, we return to our unit to find another roach crawling up the bathroom wall! I have dreamed about staying at this resort for about 10 years and it's just been a big disappointment.

    We came to stay by way of Airbnb because the normal prices are a bit out of our range. Now I understand why! This resort has so much to offer plus it's right on harborwalk with lots of boating tours and shops and restaurants! They also have lots of events throughout the year on the harbor. While we stayed we went to one and had a great time. There is even a shuttle boat to and from a beach for people who stay at hotel.. we saw lots of dolphins while on shuttle.. they even stopped for few minutes for us to enjoy them. Everything went so well from checkin to checkout! Kayla was who we had checking us in! She was so sweet and helped us with anything we asked questions of. They also have bellhops if you need a cart to bring everything to and from your room. No charge but it's customary to tip which we did because they were great. You can't cart yourself ! Our bellman was Andrew and he was very nice! Came to our room got everything neatly on cart and took us out to car to load us. Just really great staff.. they have an indoor and outdoor pool.. not deep pools both only go to 4 ft but great to have the options. There's a hot tub pool side outside too. Our room was spacious and had balcony with seating. Was very happy and comfortable with our stay we will be back!

    This five-star rating is for the staff, the condos, and everything wedding! We LOVED our stay at the Emerald Grande, and we highly recommend it to anyone looking for a romantic or family friendly location for a wedding! We had our wedding June of 2023, and everything was just beautiful. The wedding team was AMAZING and I cannot thank them enough for EVERYTHING they did for us. Emily and Annette, y'all were PERFECT and we wouldn't have wanted to have our wedding anywhere else. Annette went above and beyond on the wedding day. She made sure everything was on schedule, we were where we needed to be, we got to eat our dinner, and just made sure we were happy. Thank you to everyone at Emerald Grande for all of your hard work!

    Just checked into our room. Everything has gone downhill except the price. The room stinks and the furniture is stained. The beds have already me know it's going to be a rough week. Staff have been friendly so far. Internet struggles.

    Come here a few times a year with family members who are FO's. Can't begin to talk about how great this place is every single time. I am blown away by the poor reviews I have seen here on yelp. The condo is always clean. I walk the harbor early every morning that I am there, and there is constantly maintenance staff cleaning the area. The condo is always spotless are ready when we arrive. During our latest visit, a "flash hurricane" caused damage on the balcony which was fixed the following morning. We take the free ferry shuttle over to the beach and that is always a great experience. The management does an amazing job at continuously, planning concerts, music, and other family friendly events to always keep the Harbor fun. I have yet to have a poor experience here from the staff, the condo itself, the pool area, and the entire harbor walk... everything is always awesome.

    Cockroach in hallway, picture taken after we killed it.

    PLEASE READ BEFORE BOOKING. Location is excellent if you prefer access to harbor walk shops/restaurants, saves money on parking. The downside is that it's often noisy at night, especially Saturday night with live music playing well after midnight. Pool is DISGUSTING. This was the most disappointing thing. Hair and bandaids floating in the pool. It was cloudy (could barely see the bottom and it's only 4ft deep), the entire time we stayed there. I heard another guest, who explained he was an owner of one of the condos, also complaining about it. I called several times to see if it would be cleaned, the front desk and hotel manager stated they would "put in a work order." Nothing ever changed. We never once saw the pool being vacuumed or cleaned (we get up early). We didn't even want to get in the pool. I have never stayed at a resort with such awful pool management. If you cannot physically walk to the beach, the pool should be a nice option after a morning at the beach and it simply wasn't. Super disappointing. Beach shuttle is convenient, but hours limit you. Only 9a-6p (last pick up from the beach is 545p), would be nice to have early morning hours or evening hours. You get complementary chairs and an umbrella. Beach is NOT private as website states. No bathroom on the beach, no restaurant or drinks. The shuttle has limited non-alcoholic and alcoholic beverages (room charge) as well as a bathroom. They can also take an order for food to the hotel restaurant and bring it back for you. Room is spacious, with nice kitchen amenities. We stayed in 3BR/3BA, corner room, beautiful views of the ocean and harbor. The balcony was very nice to sit out on, aside from constant noise from the pool and harbor walk. Beds are comfortable. Housekeeping is non-existent they refused to change linens during the week, when we asked because my son wet the bed, they said "you can wash your own sheets with the detergent provided." Which is ridiculous given the cost to stay. They do not collect garbage or dirty towels from the room. You have to take your trash to trash chute. There is no tidy or turn down service. The room was NOT clean. We found a living cockroach in the room, (we were on the 6th floor, makes no sense to have a cockroach that high up). They had not vacuumed, I found trash on the floor of one bedroom, they did not properly clean the showers. I didn't try the tub, it also looked dirty. At checkout I tried to respectfully/quietly mention this, concierge said "I'm sorry, we'll fix it for the next guest, have a good day and safe travels." Overall, would not return to this hotel.

    They made this an amazing experience. View of the Captains Deck

    We had our wedding here in November and this place was amazing. The staff was beyond accommodating and on top of their game. Emily was a huge help, everything is planned and times out perfectly. The rooms are spacious and made for you to have large gatherings. My family used this as a family reunion, hopping from one condo to the other. The harbor walk was also an added surprise. Highly recommend.

    Is the beach on site or do you have to drive? What is the actual beach name? Do they provide beach chairs/umbrellas? Thanks!

    Can anyone come and get a massage and how much?

    Anyone can come in, but appointments are best. It looks like the prices were $40-50 depending.

You have sand, humidity, age, and stains everywhere - recipe for disaster in terms of this carpet. I hated having to wear shoes inside our room due to being grossed out. While in the bedroom, i had a cockroach crawl over my foot, and I was incredibly disgusted. The facility is obviously older, but the carpet situation needs to be addressed for sanitary reasons. Other than that, great beach access, and private chairs/umbrella are provided. Helpful staff, and great balcony view. Everything else was clean.

Throughout the years I've stayed in almost every condo on the first floor, and 209 and 211 on the second floor. Every time it has been wonderful. Check in is at 4, which is kind of late. But if you show up early and your room has already been cleaned and inspected they will almost always allow you in. The front desk staff is extremely friendly and helpful. I've never had a bad experience with them. They always greet you with a smile and are super kind. Almost every condo has a king size bed, 2 bunk beds, and a pull out couch, so you can easily fit 6 comfortably. There is a full kitchen with cookware, 2 bathrooms, and one shower. From the living area there's a back porch that overlooks the gorgeous powder white sand and emerald coast. You're provided with 2 chairs and an umbrella. On the first day you go to the beach you can reserve your spot for the week so I would recommend getting to the beach early the first morning. There's also a pool and hot tub in the complex for when you need a break from the beach. One huge plus of staying here is that there is only 3 stories. The beach area behind Destin Beach Club is reserved for only residents so the beach is never overly crowded at this condo. Since you're right on scenic highway 98, you're close to everything there is to see and do in Destin. There's a plethora of restaurants, souvenir shops, and shops. You're also right next to the Destin harbor and all the new things it has to offer. Because of the great staff, amenities, view, and less crowded beach area, I would definitely recommend Destin beach club to anybody who is traveling down to Destin. Absolutely love this place, so many happy memories. Can't wait to be back!

When we arrived, no one asked us if we needed help with our luggage. We made our way to the Presidential Suite and it was filthy. The room size was massive but they clearly never cleaned it well. The couches and carpet all stained, the vents had 1 inch layers of dust all over, the fan was covered in dust balls and dust layers, some vents were falling out of the ceiling with no screws, the tile floor cracked, carpet has nails popping through and there is dirt and dust all over the floors from not being vacuumed or cleaned. There was also a huge roach on the floor which didn't add for an additional touch. It's Florida so I'm trying to be accepting of palmetto roaches but it wasn't cool finding that on your already filthy $1000 room floor. We were incredibly disappointed. For over $1000 this is not what we expected. We did share this with management and our next two nights we were supposed to stay in the queen room, was then adjusted to the king room. While the king room was definitely much cleaner, this room was also hundreds of dollars less in value. It's just very disappointing to pay over $1000 to have a room you can't sit on the couch, or walk the floors without your feet covered. Aside from the room, we also had a pretty awful breakfast experience. Eggs cold, and my husband's avacado toast was missing the egg. We sent it back and it was fixed but that lost our trust in the restaurant so we ate out instead. Our experience with the rental chairs on the beach was not good the first day either. The guy told us there were chairs set up, we walked over and there wasn't. He didn't offer to add anymore, so my husband put ours out for us. We really felt they lacked the customer service feature here. This place lacked the prestige we hoped for and we decided we wouldn't return here again. While the sunset and sunrise are just breathtaking, the hospitality and attention to detail here is lacking and not for us at this price. It seems people have been coming here for so many years they have blinders up and are missing how much is falling through the cracks or even noticing any issue. We would not stay here again and definitely do not believe 4 stars is a true depiction of this place, it could use work and improvements.

Overall nice building and we enjoyed the gym, pickle ball and basketball court. Here are the cons: - It's odd that there were no beach chairs or toys in our condo or the office to borrow for your stay. There are chairs to rent for $55. I did see some condos had them in the garage space though. - The water in our unit tasted and smelled like chlorine - leaving three of us with upset stomachs until we could buy water. We were able to drink from the water fountain in the lobby and that water tasted good. - There were very little notes/instruction left in our condo for how to navigate this large resort. The map we got upon entry was not detailed. It was frustrating when we arrived. Where do we park? Where is the fitness center and what are the hours? How do we borrow pickle ball or basketball equipment? Where is the office? Where do we eat? Get coffee, etc? How do we use TV? - The pool is advertised as 'heated' but it was COLD. I'm thankful that the hot tub was fairly large! There were some little things the owners/management could do to make a 5-star experience. I did find out that you could go to the main office (by Ruth Chris steakhouse), and they allow you to borrow pickle ball equipment and a basketball. It would be awesome if they allowed you to checkout chairs or beach toys and bikes. It would also be nice if they sold coffee! The coffee shop next door doesn't open until 10. Overall, we had a nice week. The highlight was the view and being able to watch the sunrise and sunset from the patio.

Drip coffee pot, but you can p/u filters @Walmart, which is very close. I would rate room 4/5 stars. Keep in mind, depending on which room you get, you will hear construction late into night and starting early in morning. View was nice from porch but it is West facing so not full view of beach (as back of property rooms) This property was a drag, because it is UNDER CONSTRUCTION!! Outside pool/kids water area are closed, however you can use indoor pool, which looked dirty to me, but there was construction going on all around that one, too, so may be why it seemed that way. Handicap ramp only gets you down one flight of stairs, but you'll have two more flights if you want to go onto the beach. Gym is a complete joke, and dangerous OLD equipment makes it not worth using, so we walked and worked out in our room. There is what looks like it used to be a sauna/steam room, but you guessed it, under construction. But no worries, the elevators are also under construction so you can just ride up and down over and over and you'll get the same feel as the sauna. The beach was magnificent (clean and pristine), especially if you go out before 5AM or after 6:30PM, because that's when they start setting up/taking down the commercial umbrellas/chairs that you must purchase. $50 for all day (9-5) or $35 for half day (9-1 or 1-5) or $250 for the week. We brought our own umbrella and chairs and they will not allow you to set up ANY umbrellas (b/c it is hot as he** and they know you can't lay out there for long w/o one). Because of this and the construction being much worse than property let on, we won't stay here again. However, we found a wonderful state park appx 1 mile from property, Henderson State Park. The beaches are gorgeous and not blocked by the stupid commercial umbrellas. We brought our own and we had plenty of room!! Find a different property, at least until they finish updates, however, after reading reviews from 5 years ago stating property was under construction, they may never finish.

They charge a premium for "ocean view," but what you're really paying for is the chance to sit on a balcony and look at rooftops. Only if you lean out and crane your neck can you even see the water. I feel completely ripped off. For this price, honesty and transparency should be the bare minimum. Instead, they hide behind vague wording and hope guests won't complain. If you're considering booking here because of the view, don't waste your money--you will be as disappointed as I am.
