Only decent thing about this place is that it’s on the beach front. They charge more than most places for a deposit on damages ($150.00) the room was “clean” we found other peoples hair on the sheets before we ever laid down in the bed. The wall paper was peeling off the walls from what looks like water damage. We couldn’t find a place to park when we checked in.

We visited during the Thanksgiving break. Views were beautiful, room was clean, and service from the restaurant staff was fantastic. The only thing that was a little disappointing was the bridge was out and the bar inside the cave was closed during our stay. I grew up at this resort a long time ago when it was the Ramada Inn. The upgrades are nice and I plan on coming back.

My room was freezing as the AC was broken and would not shut off. I called downstairs to tell them and at 5am they brought an elder man into my room to look at the thermostat and then moved me to another room. The AC unit made a terrible noise and during the middle of the night, I was freezing. During my check-in I had breakfast tickets which I paid for and were not given to me, however, they then handed them to me during check-out. I did like the balcony and dinner at the bar. The fish tacos tasted great.

Our stay was incredible at The Island Resort at Fort Walton Beach. Room was very neat, clean, and the hotel in general was very well maintained. Staff was extremely friendly and always there to accommodate any needs you may have or need. Restaurant onsite has excellent food as well. We will most definitely be going back there on our next visiting. I would highly recommend this resort which is right on the beautiful beach - a huge plus for me!!!

Breakfast option was a great added value! Hopefully hotel management will adapt to the popularity of this option and arrange to have it adequately staffed. A bit of age on this hotel, but it's been well-maintained. Thank you for a very nice stay!

I really enjoyed my experience at this property, especially having the beach right in the back. It provides a perfect setting for relaxation and fun. Honestly, there's so much to offer that it feels almost unnecessary to leave the premises!
