Loved by guests
"I loved the connection to the beach and walk right into boardwalk festivities."
"Drinks at the rooftop bar were marvelous, the pool is so nice and the dj at night was the cherry on top for us."
"From the moment I walked in the front door of this luxurious hotel, I was swept away."
Hotel Effie Sandestin Resort, Autograph Collection - A luxury beachfront resort with rooftop pool, four championship golf courses, and French-inspired dining
A 250-room Miramar Beach hotel featuring the only rooftop pool on Florida's Emerald Coast overlooks the Choctawhatchee Bay and Gulf of Mexico. Hotel Effie Sandestin Resort offers four dining venues, including Ovide restaurant with French-influenced cuisine by Chef Hugh Acheson, Ara rooftop lounge, TLB lobby bar, and Sweetbay Coffee market. The property houses Spa Lilliana providing massage treatments and salon services, plus a state-of-the-art fitness center with Peloton bikes. With over 20000 square feet of meeting space and connection to Baytowne Conference Center, the resort accommodates large events and conferences. Guests have access to four championship golf courses designed by Robert Trent Jones Jr., Rees Jones, and Tom Jackson. Located near Grand Boulevard shops and restaurants, Hotel Effie sits within Sandestin Golf and Beach Resort, offering shuttle service to private beach areas with chair and umbrella rentals.
Pros
Direct access to seven miles of private beaches and pristine bayfront
Complimentary daily amenities including bicycle rentals, kayaks, tennis court access and resort-wide shuttle service
Located between Village of Baytowne Wharf entertainment district and Baytowne Marina
Partnership with Alaqua Animal Refuge offering pet-friendly accommodations and amenities
Cons
Beach access requires shuttle ride from hotel
Daily parking fees for both valet ($32) and self-parking ($25)
“Here's my take: this hotel certainly aims high, with a rooftop pool affording Gulf views that can't be beat. Ovide, the signature restaurant, is a definite draw, promising innovative Southern cuisine. I think the pet-friendly policy and beach access create broad appeal, but ultimately, it's the rooftop views that seal the deal.”

8.0/10
I had a wonderful stay at the hotel! The highlight for me was the heated rooftop pool, where I could relax and enjoy stunning views. The staff went out of their way to make us feel welcome, and the cleanliness throughout the hotel was impressive. I wished there were more dining options during dinner, but the food I had was delicious. The location is perfect for exploring nearby attractions, but I would have loved to be just a bit closer to the beach itself.
