My husband and I stayed here in late April for 4 nights. We chose this hotel/resort because it is so close to Destin. This allowed us to go back to the hotel for a rest after a day of sightseeing, before going out for the evening. The hotel also offered free parking, a gated community, breaktaking views and free wireless.... More

First night the room was very hot even with air on full blast. the outlets did not work and had a funny smell. We requested a new room and it was just as hot only this time it was filled with gnats. This is unacceptable and would never stay here again nor ever recommend to anyone. I thought the point... More

When my wife and I arrived for a one-night stay, the awnings had been removed over the entry and the naked frame did not present a welcoming sight. It was nice evening and we looked forward to having a drink outside but our patio was littered with tarps and pain buckets. Also our room didn't have any drinking cups or... More

My room was not available until after 5pm; however, the room was not ready for guests. My television was "snowed out-no reception" my entire stay, air conditioning unit "hummed" all day, dust covered everything, the continous smell of paint give me a headache. The cabinets in the bathroom and kitchen areas were unfinished, the toilet ran continuously if I didn't... More

The picture of the building is exactly the building we stayed in. The views of the bay are awesome. There are some nicer hotels on the property, but of course cost more. You can take a shuttle across the road to the beach and there are more hotels there. You get what you pay for. More

For those writing good reviews of the Bayside Inn, you have apparently never stayed at a quality resort or for that matter motel. I have stayed at better Holiday Inn Suites for less money and more accommodations. Asked for single bed, got two "full size beds"with first floor parking lot as my view. No functional remote, to the TV, when... More

After reading the reviews I don't understand the ratings. My husband and I stayed there for one night and wished we had stayed longer. Our rate was $125 a night which included an hour of kayaking, 1 hour rental of the golf cart, and 2 hour rental of bike riding. The View was beautiful and the hotel was peaceful. There... More

Destin is lovely. Go there, but do not stay at this resort. Just a summary of our woes: fridge dod not work, musty carpets, door to balcony did not have a handle or knob, remote did not have batteries, and the shower did not work. We were promised a new room and after waiting for a long time I had... More

We booked this through Hotels.com. I will never use them again! We paid $100 night. We were told there was a Tiki Bar and Room Service. We have an infant so this was the major drawing point for us. The Bayside Inn is a separate part of the resort....about 10 minutes away from all of the restaurants and activities. The... More

This place was completely disgusting and not fit for occupation. Electrical outlets were exposed, mold and mildew everywhere, wall paper hanging from the hall ways and rooms. Not to mention a strong, offensive, putrid smell through out the entire hotel; especially in our room. Black mold on the base board of our hotel room, holes in the walls, and the... More
