Destin Florida
Destin, Florida’s powdery white beaches and beautiful Gulf waters make it a popular destination for families, couples and weddings. If you’re looking for a full-service resort in the area, you might want to check out The Hilton Sandestin Beach Golf Resort & Spa. With 15 tennis courts, three pools, four championship golf courses and plenty of beachfront property, you won’t have to look to hard to find things to do!
The majority of the rooms at the Hilton Sandestin are suites, and you have to be 25 or older to check in to the property, so there won’t be any crazy college kids partying in the rooms. Kids are allowed, however, and some of the rooms offer bunk beds which are perfect for the kiddies. Rooms are between 460 and 768 square feet (and there are even larger Presidential Suites), so they’re perfect for family gatherings. You’ll be able to enjoy couches, living room areas, kitchens and balconies with views of the Gulf. Gorgeous! The water can be incredily clear in Destin – on the best days, the water rivals the clarity of Caribbean beaches.
The spa treatments at the Hilton Sandestin get rave reviews, and there are kids programs so that you can go enjoy your spa day or night and let the kids run wild somewhere else. There’s shopping nearby and plenty of restaurants onsite and nearby for dining options throughout the day.
And of course, you can wander onto the gorgeous beach at the hotel. If you plan to swim in the water, visit closer to summer when the water starts to heat up.
