We had the absolute best family experience when we visited in late November right after Thanksgiving. The entire staff was incredible—so friendly, kind, and personable. The front desk team, especially Sky, Kathy, Breanna, Lorelei, and Chekevia, were phenomenal. From the groundskeepers to the housekeepers to the reception staff, everyone went above and beyond. The whole hotel was spotless, and anything we could have possibly needed was provided. When we wanted to grill, they supplied every utensil and accessory—we only had to bring the food. Our rooms were fully stocked, and if we needed anything at all, the staff took care of it immediately. The kids were obsessed with the movie theater, and we even got to enjoy the Alabama–Auburn game there with family and other guests. The heated pools and hot tubs were perfect, especially with holiday music playing in the background. Overall, it was a phenomenal stay, and we absolutely cannot wait to go back!

I think the staff members here were the friendliest and the most helpful, and we travel a lot. It has a lot of good amenities, like a theater room. I loved staying here.

I actually locked myself out of my room in the resort down the road in the building Bahia. Not sure who is even in charge of that. But huge shout out to Clay and Chi helped me immensely get back to my right destination for a new room key. They went above and beyond, and it was not for them. I would’ve spent another couple hours roaming about Miromar Beach

This location is unbeatable. Whether you're a beach lover, a golfer, or simply looking to unwind in a beautiful setting, this resort delivers. The service was warm, welcoming, and genuinely attentive without ever being overbearing. The staff made us feel like valued guests from check-in to check-out. Our suite was spacious, modern, and thoughtfully designed with all the comforts of home. The fully equipped kitchen, in-room washer/dryer, and private balcony were just a few of the many touches that made our stay both luxurious and convenient. There’s plenty to do onsite, from golf & tennis to biking trails, shopping, and dining at nearby Baytowne Wharf. We loved how everything felt easily accessible. The resort has mastered the art of offering activities while maintaining a peaceful, laid-back atmosphere. If you're looking for a place that combines the charm of a beach town with the elegance of a high-end resort, Hilton Grand Vacations Club at Sandestin is the place to be. We can’t wait to return, and it’s now our go-to destination on the Gulf Coast.

Had a great time. The bikes, theater, and game room were a great add on for the stay. The room was clean and large. Brianna and the rest of the staff were very helpful and accommodating. I will definitely try and come again!

I have stayed at many Hiltons all around the states & this location is truly peaceful, accommodating, fun & relaxing all at the same time. Beautiful view! Awesome customer service from all the ladies at the front desk. I love how they are informative on restaurants, events, & activities they have to offer at the resort or off site. (Maps & restaurant list included) I will certainly come back soon! My son absolutely loves the pools/hot tubs, movie room & game room on site! The coffee I have to add is tasty premium coffee. No jitters. We were able to watch a movie chosen from many options in the room as well off the Blu-ray which was very nice. Love this place! For all you bbq lovers!!! (Myself included) they have a few bbq pits (near pool) to grill your own food!

This is another wonderful property Hilton has acquired. Tucked away on the bay side of San Destin. Great rooms, pool and staff. A short walk to shopping and restaurants. No beach but there is free transport every 30 minutes to the Hilton that is on the beach.
