First thing I noticed was staff were very friendly and helpful , the property was very clean and besides golf it definitely would help with more activities and more food options
The room was very nice and clean, and the staff was incredibly helpful and friendly. Best of all, we had an awesome breakfast that was absolutely delicious. Highly recommend!
My stay at Hotel Effie was amazing! The staff were wonderful, as always, and my room was clean, comfortable, and well-maintained. This was my third stay with Hotel Effie, and each experience continues to get better. I truly appreciate the consistent hospitality and excellent service. I’ll definitely be back!
I loved everything about my stay at the Effie staff was brilliant and super friendly, the property was clean and well maintained. The rooms was killer I never stayed in a hotel that had a tablet in the room. And the location was the best. My top best stay 5 star top tier.
Smashing time. My 11 year-old granddaughter & I (her 72 year-old grandmother) had a perfect 5 days. She loved the roof top pool, I loved the beach but we made it work. We both adored the hotel. We loved to go around the corner to Baytown, a different world. We both loved the food and the kind people.
The hotel was immaculate. Service from when we arrived til we left was friendly and professional.
We live that it was next to Baytown Wharf. It made for entertainment and dining right in our back yard. Fantastic!
The front desk, valet, housekeeping, pool staff, and restaurant staff were all so attentive and kind. Excellent service throughout! I was relieved to find how family friendly and accommodating the resort was as this was our first time traveling with a baby. We had the best time and look forward to staying here again soon.
This was one of the most beautiful properties. They had everything you need right there on the property. Live music in the lobby, games at the rooftop pool and amazing sunsets. There is a whole village of shops and restaurants and we got free entry into the festival! Book this hotel!
My family and I had a wonderful time! The staff was amazing and we enjoyed the ammentities. They were located in a great location near the outlet and resturants. We were less that 15 minutes away from Destin which was an awesome plus!
Effie……This property is absolutely beautiful. So clean and so much entertainment at night in the lobby. We ate a decent priced breakfast in the restaurant downstairs.
The rooftop pool was amazing. We got up to the pool at 10am to claim a couple chairs because it’s not huge. Food and drinks opens up at 11am. Tuna nachos were 10/10!
It is its own little world at this resort. It’s huge and they shuttle you around to different areas. It’s incredible and it’s just a couple minutes from the beach on the shuttle. And the side doors to this hotel actually drop you right into the cute little area of Baytown Wharf. We will be back. This was a wonderful stay and sooooo family friendly.
