All the staff were super friendly from the front desk to the bartenders! The pool was amazing!

This is the second time we came with a day pass. I highly recommend it. Great nonjudgmental atmosphere, great food, and lots of fun. You won’t regret it.

Great vibes, employees made it a great experience & I’ll be back with my crew!

We had a wonderful experience at The Island today. We will definitely come again.

We had the best time! The pools were great and the beach access was very convenient.

We thoroughly enjoyed our day! Top notch and worth every penny.

Great place for kids. They also had an animal show.

Absolutely loved it! Will be doing this again. The pool, the restaurants and waterfront bar, and of course the beautiful beach were amazing. Will be doing this again!

Always a great time! The heated pool was a little *too* heated today considering the heat index was like 115, it was genuinely like being in a warm bath and my kids even complained it was too warm, but otherwise no complaints! We have been a couple times and will likely go again a couple more as the weather cools.

The perfect place for a daycation! Something for every age

We had a great daycation at the Island! Great staff at every access point, enjoyable atmosphere just all around an enjoyable experience. Highly recommend!!

We had a great time and will definitely be doing this often

Another amazing day at the island resort. The pool was great and the quick access to the beach made it so easy to hop back and forth between the two!

Another excellent day! Everyone we came in contact with was very pleasant and helpful!

The Island is AMAZING!!!! The staff are welcoming and friendly, and the amenities are spectacular! Between the pools, food, drinks, and beach, it was easy to spend the entire day in paradise! Perfect for adults and kids - my boys couldn’t get enough of the grotto pool. Highly recommend as a way to get away from it all.

Loved doing this for a few hours! I do wish there was more of a food selection outside around the pool area & the food they did have was quite pricey & not that good. Drinks were great, a little pricey as well but it is a resort so... Will definitely go back. As a local, it is a great alternative then going to the beach or renting a boat! I am glad that we did not rent the gazebo that we were thinking about because if it is that small little bed with a sheer curtain over it, then it would not have been worth the price & we would have been extremely disappointed! That is definitely not worth almost $200!

Relaxing & entertaining the WHOLE trip.

We had a wonderful day at your resort and will definitely come again! We are locals and loves the layout!

We spent the day at the Island on July 20, 2023. Kayla at the front desk was very pleasant and helpful! Gavin and the bartender at the Grato were very good too. Thank you all for a great day!

We had a fantastic time at the island resort daycation. Exceptional service! Pools were awesome, food was great. We will definitely be back.

Amazing experience it's really like being in paradise and everyone is really nice and the wings at the grill are some of the best I've ever had. Don't change anything

This was a amazing experience for the whole family on my little ones 4th bday!

Great time at the island! Nice pool, bar and food choices! Would definitely go again! Hotel was very clean

My grandchildren and I had a blast ! The entertainment was awesome ! The staff was awesome ! And the pools were absolutely wonderful! I’m down here for the week and will book again !

It was amazing!!!

I wish to thank the young lady who greeted me when picking up our armbands, etc.. I didn't get her name, but she has several tattoos. She was very personable and pleasant. The young man working the outdoor food and beverage service was also very helpful.

Great time

Everything was great. We enjoyed how clean and well-maintained the facility was. We will definitely be back again and thank you for the opportunity to enjoy this local gem.

So welcoming! Awesome time!

Love that I live where others vacation. Grateful that The Island offers this for locals.

We rented a cabana for my birthday, it was a perfect day poolside! The service was great! The drinks were awesome!

Had a great time. Food and drinks were delish!!

We are RVers and we are sorbihg a few days in the Destin/Fort Walton Beach area. We googled and found out about this daycation and we are so glad we did. We had the best time! We mostly hung out at the grotto pool which was so nice and the bart beer in the grotto was really nice and made me a few delicious drinks. Wr walked out to the beach and got in the water for a bit. So pretty. Wr highly recommend this experience. We are going back today weather permitting!.

One of the best places we have done a day pass at. The pool is huge and the kids had a blast. Would recommend getting there early in the day to get good seats, we showed up around 2pm and had to do some searching to get pool chairs. But it was a lot of fun! Will go back!

I've been coming to this hotel since I was a child over 50 years ago. I love this hotel and location.. Prices for rooms are getting out of my budget so doing the daycation here is great. From Bham Al

The Island Grille had amazing drinks snd food! All of the facilities (inside & out) were very clean! Staff was very helpful and courteous. We will definitely be back!

For the $25 a person it was well worth it! My husband & I had an exceptional time & enjoyed all the resort had to offer! Will definitely come again!

Bought the day passes for the pool. I think it’s well priced at $25/adult for everything there. I expected just the one grotto bar pool but was pleasantly surprised that there was also a hot tub, heated pool and a kiddy pool. Plus due the proximity to the beach, was able to go on a dip in the ocean to finish off the day!

Me and a bunch of friends booked a daycation pass as an early Mother’s Day out. It was lovely! Plenty of options of places to set up camp, drinks were great as well as the food. Next time I’ll for sure try one of the desserts. The option for a heated pool was nice though we didn’t end up utilizing it since it’s next to the kid pool and we wanted to avoid kids if possible for the day. The DJ was great also!

Had a great time on our daycation. Easy to book and check in. Front desk staff very friendly as well as the lady in the gift shop. Love the fact that properties offer locals a place to relax for the day.

Had a great time at The Island Resort. The staff was extremely helpful and friendly from the moment we arrived. We would definitely book a Daycation here again.

It was great!! The staff here is so friendly and amazing!!

Excellent service! Food and drinks were amazing. The atmosphere is fantastic. Heading back there soon!

WHOA!! This place exceed all expectations! With stellar drinks, to nice cool pool waters it was a day to relax and not so much remember. LoL. Book your Daycation today! You so deserve it….

Had the best time and the staff was very friendly and welcoming.

Great daycation! Enjoyed the cocktails, pizza, pool and comfy cabana.

This place is amazing!! Way worth it! Just go, now!

Unbelievably fun! Definitely returning. The layout was perfect and the kid pool was great for kids too. Definitely fell in love with this resort.

The back pool was pretty cold but the front pool was just right. Drinks and food were good. It actually felt like we were at a Resort vs. a hotel on the beach. Highly recommend. We will be back to The Island!

Love the pools and friendly service. The pizza is amazing after a full day of swimming.

We had a great time, things were clean, people were very nice and helpful! A very relaxed and fun atmosphere

We loved our daycation. I will definitely do this again.

Great family fun

We used our Daycation for our family pool party. Everything was great. The Grotto pool with the bar was beautiful. We all enjoyed it. The restaurant and bars were excelkent. We will definatly be back.

Had a great time and experience!

We stayed at an AirBnB nearby and decided to add a day at The Island so we could access the pool. We are so glad that we were able to purchase the day passes! The hotel was very accommodating from the start of our day, even including parking in their garage. Their pools, swim up bar, and beach access are all convenient and feel very luxurious! I kept mentioning how much of a steal the day pass is, because you really get a whole experience for a little bit of money! We plan to visit again next time we’re in Fort Walton!

We had so much fun! Everyone was friendly and the service was great. Will definitely be booking this again.

We love visiting the Island Resort! The staff was very friendly and professional. The resort was clean and inviting; we will definitely be visiting again. The pizza was so delicious after spending the day in the pool.

Such a great day for my daughter birthday! They loved the animal encounter. We will be coming back!

We just had a day pass ....BUT the two associates that interacted with me were amazing from the front desk giving us maps of everything since it was our very first time...to the events paper it was awesome...Then the bar at the pool...the bar tender I do not know his name, BUT this guy was beyond amazing. The only bar tender and had tens of people in line at a time...but he did amazing and needs a raise. He was by far the best bartender I've ever had and I hope he gets to see this review. We are locals from Crestview, but it felt like we truly were on vacation on our DayCation!!!!! Thank y'all for being awesome!! Truly, the drunk local who fell in love with those mudslides!!!

Pool was nice especially the heated one. Good drinks and service.

We had a lazy day by the pool. 5 cabañas. We got one after a family left. So relaxing for older couples like us. The pool was warm and if you wanted to get a drink just walk over to swim bar . Get in that water and swim until the water fall into a rock grotto bar. The 4 person deal came with 4 drink coupons. Their are outside grill restaurant where you can buy food too.

I had the best time at our daycation! So relaxing and such a nice getaway for the day!

Fabulous resort. It was a perfectly fun day!

We took my daughter to swim for her first birthday since they have a heated pool. She had an absolute blast and we will be taking her back! This is a perfect option for when the Gulf water is too cold.

We really enjoyed our time at The Island, and definitely plan to come back soon! The amenities are great, from the swim-up grotto bar to the hot tub. It is a lively environment as well, with a live DJ and a football watch party on the day that we went.
