Book Holt hotels

Rooms are nice, very clean! Really quiet. Hallways and elevator are a little dated but who really cares about that, right?!

Pools, lazy river and direct beach access were the high of our trip

This hotel was built years ago and is still well kept. I watched it being built since I'm from Fort Walton area. The check in was fast and accommodating for my needs! Clean and comfy room with plenty of space to stretch out. We had a pet friendly room and the only issue we had was as entering, it did smelled of pet urine, i did mention it to housekeeping. Simple fix since we always travel with an enzyme spray to eliminate any previous pet smells since we do travel with my service dog. The room did have really cold a/c! Has a pool but it is not heated. We were there in the middle of April, so it was cooler than expected and super breezy during our stay. My niece and nephews all enjoyed the pool though (kids lol). Hotel does have a small gym to get in some cardio! The property is located on main strip of Fort Walton with rear access off Beal Pkwy but not on the beachfront. You can see the Bay from parking lot but not from the room since hotel rooms face east and west. Had plenty of parking and even has truck parking on the side with dog walking area. Breakfast did not have many options. Self serve waffles, bagels, packaged oatmeal, sausage, eggs, juices and coffee were available but not good at all. We ended up going out for breakfast which I recommend Neighborhood Cafe off Mary Esther Cutoff. Had delicious food and wonderful service there! Overall, we would definitely stay here again when visiting my family.

Everything was awesome

Loved the ocean view from our room but the room was a bit of tight squeeze even for just the two of us. Pools were refreshing but the grotto pool was almost too cold to enjoy so it made the heated pool crowded at times. Was surprised they didn’t have poolside wait staff for drinks but the bartenders were great…especially Stephanie and Laura. The swim up Grotto needs an actual swim up area that doesn’t require going thru the waterfall. Also, was surprised that everything shuts down by 10p each night. Overall, we enjoyed our stay and the beach is super clean and relaxing. Enjoyed live music at the beach bar every night.

Property is pretty new, very nice, and very clean.
