Pros

Direct access to Crystal Beach's public pavilion with restrooms and showers

Live music and drink specials at the café during select afternoons

Keyless entry system with direct check-in via text message

Exterior corridors eliminate the need for shared indoor spaces

Cons

No dedicated hotel parking lot

Limited dining options between café closing at 5 PM and restaurant opening for dinner

“I think it's a smart move for travelers seeking a laid-back beach experience in Destin. I noted the prime location right across from the beach access, combined with the recently updated, modern coastal decor. The rooftop pool seals the deal-amazing views are hard to beat.”
