With its snow-white sand and crystal-clear Emerald Coast waters, Destin has always been a family favorite. Our luxurious yet inviting 170-room resort fits in beautifully with the surrounding state park. Original works by local artists adorn the hotel walls, while spacious terraces and a rooftop provide the perfect space to unwind and take in the pool, Gulf and sunset views. Enjoy paddle boarding, take a bike ride, and rejuvenate in the Salamander Spa. Indulge in fresh Gulf-to-table seafood in either Horizons, Primrose or at the sushi bar.

We chose The Henderson for our daughter’s wedding with high hopes given its beautiful location and promises of luxury and service. Unfortunately, our experience fell far short of expectations on what was meant to be one of the most important days of her life. The staff at the Primrose while polite did not deliver. Key details we had agreed on months in advance were overlooked and poorly executed. Also despite the premium cost of the meal, we were served with inedible and shockingly small portion plates. Only to leave hungry and disappointed. The party left to warm up pizza from the fridge. It was embarrassing and completely unacceptable for such a special occasion. Also, other issues upon check in. They were late. The staff always was polite and said they would take care of it but never did. What matters is service reliability and follow through, in these areas The Henderson fell far short!

Stay at the Henderson Hotel on the beach if an adult couple. Much better service and better views and beach access. They have not staffed the resort heavily enough yet. Beautiful place but they aren’t up to speed yet

Dirty, run down…piss poor service. Never again. Multiple complaints…zero response. Holiday Inn service for Four Seasons prices.

We also wanted to give a big shoutout to Domjon at the beach cabanas! During our stay at Henderson Beach Resort the week of June 16th, we saw him out there multiple days, and he was always incredibly kind, professional, and attentive. He helped get our beach chairs set up, made sure we had everything we needed, and checked in on us with such a friendly attitude. His great service and positive energy really added to our experience. We truly appreciated him! And thanks again Sebastian! Best service ever! Also a shout out to the bartenders RRon and Luis! You made our stay memorable and you provided nice service and it was fun! Thank you Dexter from the outside beach bar…he was the best!Funny and made our days on the beach funner! Good guy! Hatie is so so so sweet. We had such a great stay!
