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!!!

Awesome location, right on the beach . The room looked newly renovated but wish it was bigger . No cabinet in the room made it hard to store the big suitcases . We had breakfast included, and it was pretty good. So overall it was fine stay experience.

Amazing Experience
I had an amazing experience here! All of the staff were nice and welcoming. There was some areas that were closed off, but I enjoyed the ones that were open and the beach. The beach was very pretty and I enjoyed waking up to the sound of the ocean every day. I will definitely come back!

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!

Burnt Pineapple upside cake
This Resort is actually very nice. The view from our hotel was beautiful. Of you of the Gulf of Mexico the ocean the pier the Island Bar it was great. We asked for room service twice and they were pretty quick within about 20 minutes. One of the nights I did ask for room service and the chicken wings were amazing but I was very disappointed with burnt upside down cake. The last time I checked a pineapple upside down cake is yellow has pineapple and maybe Marciano cherries. This was two burnt crispy pieces of cake topped with pineapple and caramel sauce that was not going to make it any softer. I made a comment to the front desk and all they said was sorry to hear that. I know that a lot of people say things so they can get a discount but I was being truthful because I believed everything else tasted great. Overall this day was nice and I like the kitty on the property

Well, what can I say, I absolutely love this place… I would have given 5 stars but I asked for a late checkout from 11 to 12 and they said it would cost $50! Boo I stay her a lot and have never been told that my gosh it’s just an hour…so I waited for my ride in the lobby over an hour… luckily I had free breakfast coupon before 11 so I hurried downstairs for that which I was able to use the other hour and half as I waited for my 1 pm pickup … either way I love this place but they should expect at least a few might need extra time without being charged $50 an hr! It’s not like I was asking for 4pm.
