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 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.

Family Pool & Beach Day Pass (for 4) with 2 drink vouchers (Children 5 and under are free) • Jul 2023

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!

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!

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!

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!

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 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.
