We had a great stay the condo was exactly as pictured and everything was great. The Palms of Destin was nice we didn’t really expect there to be loud parties down at the bistro/bar every night but it wasn’t terrible. The only negative I can give is that the couches in the condo have seen better days and could stand to be updated. But over all had a great stay and would come back again!- Reviewed On: 10/30/2024

We took a last-minute beach trip from Georgia, and this spot was perfect. From the location to all the amenities, we had the best time here. The lagoon pool was relaxing, as we sipped on "The Massive Mimosa" a must try. Our son made new friends, and didn't want to leave. We had a wonderful view, where we sipped coffee in the morning watching the sunrise. Definitely recommend "The Palms of Destin Resort" for you, and your family. We're already planning on coming back, and possibly become owners ourself.- Reviewed On: 7/31/2023
