Hotel overall is extremely nice although had several issues. First had an issue with the final invoice and have still not received a response from anyone to correct it. Seems like once they had my money they are not worried about it. The options for parking are 30.00 for self park a night and 35.00 for valet. We did the self park which and they’re doing construction so our vehicle was covered in concrete dust but still paid 30.00 a night. A resort of this time shouldn’t be charging customers to park. You also have to pay nightly for WIFI 15.00. Yes you have to pay for WiFi. You can go to McDonalds and get good wifi. The free WiFi they do have at the resort is so slow that it’s their way of getting you to pay for the fast WiFi out of frustration. We went to the beach where they have a hut to get towels etc. The employee informed us that we could only have 1 towel per person. Like we plan to steal towels. We were with our toddler and wanted to sit on the sand after getting into the ocean. So I had to walk the 1/4 mile back to the hotel and bring towels from there. Several little things that make it seem like a 4 star resort but they treat stuff like it’s a cheap air line trying to nickle and dime you to death.

Hotel itself was nice and the amenities but everything costed extra on top of resort-fees. Parking, beach chairs… it was off season during my stay but for some reason they put us next to a family with shared door and walls are paper thin. I could hear there tv and them talking. No privacy, expected more from high end resort.

Stay was average. Size of rooms were nice. There were shutters between the room and bathroom that we didn't necessarily enjoy. We had requested cushions for our balcony furniture and had received incorrect cushions. There was not a refrigerator. Walk to the beach was nice. Pools were nice.
4.0 / 5.0
This is a beautiful property with a lot of different bars and dining options (although beware - it's standard resort pricing - but there are many other options in the area). The spa is also really nice and has a lot of options for treatments. The view from our room was unbeatable, looking out over the nature preserve. It was very quiet, probably the quietest hotel I've ever stayed in.
The reasons for the 4 stars:
1) We arrived at 2:30 pm and were not able to check in until 3:30. Even though this is within the time listed in the policy, in my experience, it's kind of rare for a hotel to keep you waiting for so long this late in the day.
2) The staff were awesome but some of them seemed stretched a bit thin - eg there was only one server/busser/bartender in the restaurant during the lunch rush, and the kitchen was very far away, so there would be long times when there was no one available. Again, the staff were fantastic - this seems like a planning problem on the part of the resort.
3) Be prepared to be steeply charged for everything - beach chair rentals, snacks, parking, bottled water, etc.
4) Small details, but if you're driving you should bring your own TP (the stuff they have is very cheap, basically single-ply) and pillows (the pillows are so flat they're basically like having nothing at all)

Hidden fees like parking and resorts doubled if using expedia or outside deals. Expect another
800.00-900.00 extra

This resort was beautiful and the staff was friendly and helpful. Our room was very nice and clean. The grounds are beautiful and well-maintained. It was just a short walk to the private beach which was absolutely beautiful. We really enjoyed the Starbucks dispenser located in the ice area. That is how we started each morning……. a Starbucks coffee on the balcony. The food was pricey but I guess that’s what you expect at a resort.

The view of the water is deceiving. In the photo it seems much closer. I live here in Destin on the water, my view is 10 times better from my condo. My server from the restaurant, Horizon carried a 5 minutes conversation 3-4 times in 30 minutes with the guest right next to us. He had a glass of Prosecco in his hand that we had order, after 3-4 minutes my daughter got up from her chair and turned around and said excuse that is my glass of wine. There were a total of 3 guest with 3 servers and another one popping in and out "they were not busy at all". That's how long it took to get our drinks. Thank God someone noticed and gave us a new server. My son left at 1;00 am because his bed was uncomfortable. I could not sit on the patio because someone was smoking on their patio. I even left a day early because this was not the hotel/resort I wanted to spend another day.

This was my first time in Destin and I just so happened to stumble upon a great deal at The Henderson. I was impressed by the resort. It was very clean and polished. I felt very safe. The staff were super pleasant and easy to work with. I hated to leave! I will definitely be back. Overall, immaculate. 5 stars.
