7th floor- one elevator
Though there were two elevators, only one worked our entire stay, and it broke down during our stay as well, briefly. We spent much of our time waiting for the elevator to take us seven floors. Our stay was not well managed by the front desk overall as we had difficulty waiting for them to get off the phone to speak with us.
Fantastic view, steps away from beach
* Guest's bathroom exhaust fan is too loud
* Guest's toilet got stuck a few times
* Guest's toilet seat not staying up
* Guest's hair dryer not working
* Find a giant roach crossing the living room into the master bedroom

Room was nice and clean, had all the kitchen items you could think of, beds were super comfortable, plenty of blankets, plenty of pillows, big nice beach towels. The view was amazing. They even had to floor fans in the rooms. Would definitely stay in this room again. Love the new keys and the private beach. Comes with two chairs and umbrella daily on the beach. They even set them up for you.
Really enjoyed our short trip to Destin! Unit 706 could use a little TLC, but it was comfortable, and the view from the main bedroom and balcony more than made up for any shortcomings. Plenty of seating, and the couch is a pull out if needed. They let you know ahead of time, but make sure to pick up or bring extra TP, paper towels, trash bags, coffee/tea, soap etc. Beach chair/umbrella service was incredibly convenient, and the walk to the beach was shorter than I had anticipated. The property itself is so so. Not the easiest building to maneuver around, but the staff were friendly and helpful, and location was amazing. Certainly would return.

We had a great time at the Islander. It is in a great location away from some of the larger resorts. Unit 706 was exactly as described and had plenty of room for all of us. Kitchen could use a few more items but overall it was wonderful. All the staff were kind and very helpful. We came just after Labor Day so it was not very busy. I would imagine everything would be quite crowded during the busy season. It was so nice having dedicated beach chairs included. It was a little frustrating that people were able to claim chairs up front first thing in the morning and then not even come to the beach until well into the afternoon. If you are going to claim beach chairs you should have to be at the actual beach. Overall, it was a wonderful vacation!

One of the highlights of my stay at the resort was the breathtaking view. From my room, I could see stunning landscapes, lush greenery, and even a sparkling lake. It was truly a feast for the eyes and provided a sense of tranquility and relaxation.Another aspect that impressed me was the cleanliness of the resort. The rooms were spotless, and the common areas were well-maintained. The staff took great care in ensuring that everything was tidy and organized. It made me feel comfortable and at ease during my entire stay.The resort is conveniently located near shops and eateries, making it easy to explore the surrounding area. It added an extra level of convenience to my stay and allowed me to make the most of my time there.Overall, my experience at the resort was fantastic. The beautiful view, cleanliness, and convenient location all contributed to a memorable stay. I would highly recommend this resort to anyone looking for a relaxing and enjoyable vacation. I am already looking forward to returning in the future.

This unit is considered “platinum” however I would not even give it a 1 star. When we arrived we seen several roaches. The unit is not very clean nor updated... I don’t know how it got bro be platinum. I cleaned the unit with Lysol wipes and Lysol because the bathroom still had hair in the tub and sink area. I kept our stuff put up. The next morning while cooking breakfast one of the burners in the stove did not work either.I have stayed at The Islander before not even in a platinum unit and it was much much nicer than this one!
