From the reviews
We had our wedding at the Holiday Inn Resort Fort Walton Beach and couldn’t have asked for a better experience. The beach setting in Fort Walton Beach was absolutely beautiful, and the staff made everything so easy and stress-free.
Visiting for my daughter’s cheer competition. We normally stay in a condo but heard great things about Holiday Inn on the beach and decided to give it a go. We couldn’t be happier! First and foremost, the rooms were very clean which is our top priority.
The hotel was amazing, it had so many great amenities and a really nice staff. We had a balcony with ocean view and it felt so relaxing. It is definitely a good hotel to pick if you are planning to visit. Just some tips and thing to keep in mind, but still we thought the hotel was totally worth it.
Getting married at Holiday Inn Resort Fort Walton Beach by IHG
Two things make the tour worth the drive. First, see the ceremony spot at the exact time of day you'd say your vows — a west-facing beach glows at sunset but bakes at noon, and you'll want to feel the wind, watch where the sun sits, and walk the path your guests take across the sand. Second, bring your real questions: the weather backup (where does the ceremony move if it rains or the wind kicks up?), who pulls the beach permit, the sound-ordinance curfew, the catering and bar policy, and exactly what's included — chairs, setup, and teardown on sand are where quotes quietly diverge. Peak beach dates book 12–18 months out, so if the tour feels right, ask what's open in your season before you leave.
