Embassy Suites By Hilton Destin Miramar Beach

We drove 12 hours to get here and decided to come down to the bar to have a drink. We knew the cocktail hour did not start until 5:30, but it was worth it to pay for a drink after a long day. The bartender barely gave us the time of day, and when we tried to get her attention she told us to give her a minute because she was getting ready for the cocktail hour. We expressed that we knew we would need to pay, but she still asked if we could wait. She seemed very irritated that we were disturbing her. Thankfully she did give us the free drinks 10 minutes early, which was not what our intention was. Maybe will give it another chance this week?

My family and I really enjoyed our stay here and i’m glad we chose this hotel and location. They complimentary breakfast was awesome as well as the free drinks that are offered from 5:30 — 7:30. We definitely enjoyed that. There is also free wifi for use. The pool is a little small, but the kids still enjoyed. You can also rent towels for free. Every staff member I came into contact with was very friendly.
The suites are very spacious. I was a little skeptical on how well all 6 of us could fit in there, but it worked out perfectly! It can get a little noisy on the 1^st floor like one of the reviewers stated. I suggest staying on the 3^rd or 4^th floor.
Also, no this beach isn’t beachfront but it is LITERALLY across the streets. Only took us a few minutes to get there. The hotel has a private access bridge.
I will definitely be back! I hope all Embassy Suites are like this!

Nice hotel. Not designed to keep the noise out, especially on the lower floors. Bar is too close to rooms. Hotel is very nice and clean. Staff are friendly and helpful. Inadequate parking due to events such as weddings which hotel should’ve been prepared for since the beach is across the street. Beach access compensates for the thin walls and noise levels. Happy hour and free breakfast were excellent. If you are in the living room area of your room it’s noisy. If you’re in the bedroom area, with the door closed its great. Overall a great place to stay during the week but not on weekends or when an event is planned. Call ahead and ask if weddings are planned if so don’t book.

I don’t know how this place is only a 3 star hotel. Great parking, outdoor pool and hot tub, free drinks from 530 – 730, free huge made to order breakfast, super nice look with beautiful remodel, private beach access within walking distance with available chairs/​umbrellas for rent… everything you could need and ask for from a 4* hotel even. This place is worth the money. I paid double what I was going to pay at another hotel for the week and don’t regret it one bit.

Do not believe their lies!!! Talked to numerous people at the hotel before making reservation. They all said the hotel was «on the beach». Pulled up to hotel and much to familys dismay hotel was far from being on the beach, in fact their is a two lane busy street and a parking lot and a restaurant between the beach and the hotel. Asked Marc the man who greeted us to check us in and his smart ass reply was «oh you must have talked to a third party.» No I did not Marc you customer service P.OS. His next statement really threw me for a loop. He says «The Hilton is the only hotel on the beach if you want cancel your reservation and try to get in there». Oh how I would love to you smart ass but it is mid spring break and getting a room would be a little difficult. What a sham, I love Embassy Suites but between the lies about being «on the beach» and the terrible reception by Marc the ass hole my four nights here with my family are already ruined! If these creeps tell you their hotel is on the beach, make sure you tell them they are liars and stay somewhere else!

walls are very thin and do not block any sound whatsoever. elevators are very slow, the slowest i have ever experienced. the free breakfast and reception us pretty lame

Beware of nauseous fumes from hotel construction. Also massive echo due to cavernous center entirely empty during construction. Recommend to stay elsewhere during this renovation (even though they discount the rates during construction the rates are still $ 100+/night. I think the health dept should check in here to see if the odors are dangerous!

Only disadvantage with this hotel is that it is not beach front. Beautiful two room suites. Everyone was extremely nice and excellent at customer service. Had a much needed breakfast in the morning, compliments of the hotel. Stop by and say hi to Jim, the evening bartender.

I’m an attorney that lives in the area and I stopped by for a drink on my way home. While I’m sitting at the bar the food and beverage manager approaches me with a scowl on his face and says «are you a local?» I said yes. «So you’re not staying with us?» No. «So you’re not a guest here?» No. More scowling and he walked away. Keep in mind that while everyone else drinks for free, I paid for my drink. That was my first visit there in quite some time because the last time I was there some guests of a wedding party got out of hand at the bar. Most places here appreciate locals this time of year. Not this place. Plenty of other places that want my business, no point in going back to this one.

Our favorite place to stay in the Destin area. You cross a road to a walkway to the beach. It isn’t crazy commercially developed. The hotel is very clean and the staff is friendly. The rooms look new. The pool is nice as is the fitness center and hot tub. They do quite a few very lovely weddings in the atrium of the hotel. We saw two this weekend. Rooms are quiet too. Could not hear my neighbors.

This is a great hotel in Destin/​Miramar Beach FL!!! It’s very clean. The staff is very professional and kind. The cooked to order breakfast each morning is not only a great smell to wake up to but it is delicious! The hotel is located right across from the beach with private access– very convenient. The hotel pool is not huge but is very nice and clean. The rooms are nice sand the beds are great! We will definitely book rooms here again!

As a Hilton Honors member I tend to stay at Hilton’s when available. I booked my stay online through Hilton website and checked in before arriving at hotel. Room was not ready and we were told it would be approx 1 hr before housekeeping gets to the room. After watching several guest check in and approx 1 hr passed I inquired again about our room. It still was not complete but there was a different guy at the desk this time and he said there was another room available if we like to take that one (King Deluxe Suite w/​view) same amenities so Why not? Better than waiting. Wonderful breakfast with cooked to order eggs and evening drinks. Wish they would have some veggies instead of just chips and dips but still a nice evening reception. Excellent room with view. Across the street from the beach. Chair and umbrella rentals available at the beach and they can charge back to your room. Very clean and nice. The location of the hotel is great. Walking distance to restaurants, shopping and grocery stores. Outlet mall within .5 mile.

This is a GREAT hotel! I’ve visited 2 times — would come back again.
Reasons:
This is Hilton Hotels Embassy suite brand. Known for made to order breakfast, large suite type rooms, manager evening reception, and beautiful indoor courtyards. They have a pool and a jacuzzi.
Chose this hotel for the location — across the street from the white sands of the Gulf coast. You cannot see the ocean from this hotel, but it truly is very close and handy to access.
Stay at this hotel, and then rent chairs /​umbrella on the beach. The only things you’ll need to bring to the beach is a cooler, suntan lotion, snacks, sunglasses and water toys.
Across the street is the beach wear and accessory store. An outlet mall is walking distance. So are some good chain restaurants.
This is truly a great hotel/​location for a memorable beach vacation.
Solid 4 stars.

Wonderful breakfast and who can beat the happy hour? Big rooms, short walk to beach, great price, only complaint is the toilet paper so that’s pretty good !

Great place to stay. I love the happy hour but wish they would offer some healthier snacks other than chips and dip for the kids during that time. The pool was nice, not too busy and perfect amount of shade areas.
Great suites with comfy beds and pull-​out couches. Love that we had a kitchen sink, microwave, and refrigerator. Housekeeping staff was great, and Jim was a great bartender! All the cooks looked like they were having a great time while working as well.
I would consider updating some of the décor in the lobby as some of the paintings do not match the theme at all. But maybe that is just me.
this is definitely a family-​oriented place and not so much a spring break-​party hotel which is nice if that’s what you’re looking for !

Great hotel. Nicole at the front desk is the best. She takes care of any issues for the guests no matter how small I asked for the awesome hand cleaner they sell in the gift shop and she took care of me. She is the best. The breakfast is top notch. Happy hour is fun and u r right across the street from the ocean. Perfect spot to relax or work. Great place highly recommend to stay.

Embassy is a great line of Hotels… BOOK​ING​.COM is the crooked criminal 3^rd party booking agent you need to NEVER use. We booked 4 nights almost 2 months in advance of our trip. Something happened with my wife’s work at the hospital which required us to cancel. 2.5 weeks before arrival I called to cancel. Embassy said I could not because we booked through a 3^rd party, BOOK​ING​.COM. In the mice type when you use BOOK​ING​.COM your cancellation fee is 100% of your total bill. NO REFUNDS!!! They were going to cancel me and keep my 700.00!!! I threatened to dispute my credit card charges and file a complaint with the State. They reluctantly gave me a refund.
Stay FAR FAR AWAYfrom BOOK​ING​.COM!

When we first walked in, we were impressed with the clean, open classy lobby area that had a faint smell of vanilla! (We found out later that the gift shop is right there and has a prominent display of scented candles. Smart!) Every staff member we spoke to in our many interactions was friendly, professional and helpful. Nicole at the front desk was especially helpful with local restaurant info.
Like the other Embassy Suites I have been in, the center of the hotel is high and open. Inside are beautiful plants and trees everywhere. It’s quite a sight. We planned to spend most of our weekend at the beach and surrounding, but we were THRILLED with the happy hour at the hotel! FREE drinks and snacks every evening for guests! They had a great selection of free liquor, wine and beer and even some great concoctions.
Our room was clean, cool and spacious. There were 2 tv’s, a sitting area and the bedroom area. There was even a wet bar with a sink! Another GREAT plus for 3 people in a room was that, including the bathroom, there were THREE sinks total! and 3 mirrors. It really facilitates multiple people getting ready at once.
The free breakfast the next morning was one of the BEST I have ever had in the US… second only to the Hilton on Pensacola Beach. There was an omelette bar in addition to the buffet, a great selection of cereals, muffins, juices and fruits, and TWO stations for coffee! Brilliant! Who wants to wait in line for his first cup of coffee in the morning!
The only thing that kept them from that 5^th star is the pool. The pool was nice, but does not live up to the rest of the hotel. It overlooked the parking lot, which is Ghetto as it is, and the hot tub jets were useless. It was more like a hot mini-​pool.

Took my family here for a vacation and enjoyed every bit of our stay here. I’ve been to many embassy suites in different states and this is my favorite one. Thanks to the staff.

I’ve stayed here on two occasions, as well as another hotel of comparable cost down the road. If your looking for a plentiful, and quality breakfast buffet, then this is your place. And as a bonus the freash omelets are a real nice touch. If your looking for clean rooms and nice staff, then this is your place. Location is close to the beach, as in across the street. You can see the beach from the lobby of this hotel.
Managers reception is fun, don’t forget to tip the bartender since the drinks at this time are free! The bar is not equipped to handle some request, for instance my friend ordered an Old Fashion, negative ghostrider. However, they do have a list of things that are free to avoid confusion. When you get done, most nightlife is within a cab ride. Cant speak to the cabs in this area, since I didn’t have the time to enjoy the sites this go around.
As with any hotel, I’m sure this one has problems. They will try their best to remedy such issues, as I’ve seen on both occasions. Sometimes some issues just can’t be remedied because of space available, or the hotels hands are just tied to do so. Just have to roll with it. Some issues that I have overheard are farely avoidable, and fall into policy problems, so its already a losing battle. Just gotta know which battles to pick and how to do so.
Remember, this hotel does get packed, and they deal with all sorts of antics. So during peak season be prepared as any local would tell you. Enjoy your stay!
