Staying at this property was an amazing experience. Amazing does not do it justice. I booked this hotel for an offsite event with my team. It was a very seamless process. Catalina Ojeda made sure that all accommodation requests were adhered to and she did it will excellent attention to detail. She was more than amazing, by making sure she communicated clearly and worked ensure my team had a great experience. The experience was so amazing that I am taking my family back so that they can experience it as well. The rooms were super clean, also there are so many amenities available to guests. The staff were very attentive. We never wanted for anything. It was almost as if they were mind readers. Thank you again for the great experience!

We enjoyed the pool, the cabana, and bar. The atmosphere was exceptional as was the view from the roof top and our balcony. The staff was incredible! They all were very supportive and friendly. The location is so convenient to The Wharf and to the golf courses. I would highly recommend Hotel Effie

“Amazing crew!”

Top notch valet crew! Vincent and Tanner were so professional and on top of things.

Overall, the hotel stay was very good, and I would definitely stay here again. I'm very particular about cleanliness (a little OCD), so that's important to me. The hotel is modern, updated, and beautifully designed. The room itself was modern, stylish, and decorated very nicely, which made it feel welcoming and comfortable. The room appeared to be clean. However, housekeeping could use some improvement. The table with the complimentary water bottles was dusty, and the glass window in the bathroom door was dirty. There was also hair in both the bathtub and the sink. During my three-day stay, I found broken glass on the hallway floor, which was a safety concern, and it didn't appear that the hallway had been vacuumed during that time. The bathroom was nice, but I would recommend providing a thicker bath mat/floor towel, as the one provided was very thin. The lobby was beautiful and comfortable. One morning, several of the lobby chairs were wet, and I accidentally sat in one. I assume they had just been cleaned, but it would be helpful to place "Wet Seat" signs on the chairs so guests are aware. On the positive side, I really enjoyed the rooftop pool. I do wish the pool bar stayed open later on the weekends. The food at the rooftop pool was not good. I would not recommend ordering food at the rooftop pool bar area. The complimentary bikes included with the resort fee were a lot of fun, and the beach shuttle was very convenient since we didn't have to worry about driving or finding parking. One thing to note is that the beach is shared with Sandestin guests, so it was extremely crowded—more crowded than I personally prefer. The rooftop pool concierge staff was outstanding. They were warm, welcoming, and even brought us complimentary water, which was a thoughtful touch that made us feel appreciated. The rooftop views were amazing. Overall, the customer service was excellent, but the housekeeping and cleanliness could be improved, especially for an Autograph Collection hotel. Even with those issues, I enjoyed my stay and would absolutely return. The online pictures match the hotel.
