About the Hotel
Overview
The Henderson Beach Resort has a prime location, near the white-sugar sands of the Best Beach on Florida, as well as being the No. 2 hotel in Destin (U.S. News & World Report). The resort sits right next to the 200-acre Henderson Beach State Park, with over a mile of additional beachfront.
Room types range from Courtyard View kings to Pool and Gulf View rooms, as well as lofts, vacation rental units and suites. All rooms feature Juliet balconies, pillowtop mattresses, 43-inch flat-screen TVs, coffeemakers and complimentary Wi-Fi.
In addition to the beach access, there are two pools — one with a splash pad and lazy river, and the other with private cabanas. There's also a kids club, with arts & crafts and other activities, as well as a fitness center, a full salon and luxurious Salamander Spa. Dining options include sea-to-table menus at multiple outlets.

We enjoyed the overall atmosphere being at the Henderson provides. Unfortunately, the weather didn't allow us the opportunity to enjoy the private beach or other outdoor activities as much as we would have liked.

Great location. Good sea views. Fire pit spot is nice. Rooms are nice. Shower was superb!

Lobby coffee setup in the morning is inefficient and caused us to have to wait two mornings in a row. For a resort charging a fee that’s not a good thing. They need a better system than some employee having to constantly fill small carafes from somewhere and the hauling them over to pour in a larger one. Also, it seemed like there was usually only one person at front desk which is not enough.

We stayed there before through Travelzoo.It was very relaxing once again. Had free valet parking that we enjoyed a lot. But last time we also got free breakfast, would have liked that again.
