Marina Bay is a quaint Resort. It has all the necessities you need in your room. There is a Pool, Hot Tub, Game Room, 50's style Party Room, Volley Ball area, Pavilion cor Barbequing with plenty of grills.
Although older than other options, this hotel is more of a well kept resort from better times gone by. An old school, heated swimming pool and deck with a stunning harbor view, a large hot tub, shuffleboard and a good game room. Patios and plenty of chair's. The room was clean and this is my second stay.
I couldn’t be more honest than to say, I do not impress easily, BUT, I booked this room online, 2 nights before our arrival thinking ‘it mustn’t be great’ seeing as how the cost was so affordable on Easter Day. again, BUT. this place impressed me SOOOO much!! It was right beside the area I was looking forward to visiting! We got to Fort Walton hoping to explore, thinking things would be open for tourists, but nothing was. Ms. Pam was kind enough to check us in a little early so we could unpack, unwind, and settle in. She is SUCH a nice lady!! Thank you again Ms. Pam!! Again, when we opened the room door, we were FLOOOORED at how gorgeous the room, the view, the grounds were and the location for the amount we paid. It is seriously my new ‘spot’!!! We couldn’t be happier!! And trust me, I’d let ya know!
I've stayed at this hotel a few times over my life here in Ft. Walton and it has always been nice. They have a heated pool and jacuzzi as well as a play room with several game tables and a few retro arcade consoles!
Its located right on the water looking out over the Sound and you also are smack dab in the middle of downtown! This hotel is perfect for long or short stays and whatever you may need can be procured from the vast selection of stores and restraunts.
Horrible experience. Tom at the front desk was rude, condescending and extremely unprofessional. He went as far as to laugh in my face after putting me in a filthy room (complete with a spider and pubic hairs in the bathtub). He made it clear that this single mom and her toddler weren't welcome and tried to dissuade me from staying by saying that the building that I preferred wasn't a good idea because maintenance would be working on the rooms next to mine. I told him that I'd take my chances and never once did I see a maintenance man. The second day of my stay he demanded that I be charged a $200 deposit (why?). After speaking to his supervisor he begrudgingly waved it but continued with his macho charade. I was also told by different front desk attendant that I would need to be moved to another room because a gentleman was flying in the next day and would be staying for 17 days. It was discrimination at it's worst.
Great location, lovely rooms at a really good deal. Had an issue with the front desk - at check-in they have me the wrong key. Twice. Other than that, no issues.
It was great. The pool was pretty full when I went. The atmosphere was great. I felt like I was actually on vacation. The location right next to the beach was great
The room was nice but kinda cramped in the kitchen area. But for what we paid it was a great buy. Loved the heated pool and hot tub. Staff was very nice. Had a great time
Wonderful stay! This is a great place for vacations, or any other stay to accommodate your needs. My sister and I stayed here for 5 nights and 6 days. I've been to Fort Walton many times, but I'd have to say this was one of my best stays yet. We definitely plan on staying here again in the future!
Stayed here in vacation nice and clean good view of the bay during our stayed it rained and there were two tornadoes on the ground
Went with the queen room it had the full kitchen witch was nice. Cool staff and laid back atmosphere. The room was super clean and I would recommend it to anyone. It's like 5 minutes from the water and 10 to everything else. I'll be staying here again when we go.
Cute little hotel and rooms near the marina. Quiet location despite being next to a busy road. Polite staff, nice pool and hot tub. Cozy, clean, updated rooms. I appreciate the little gift bag at check in. The lights outside are a little bright coming through the blinds at night. Sometimes you can hear neighbors through the walls, but its not bad. Would recommend and would book again. :) thanks for a nice stay
