Fodor's Review:

It's almost a city in itself and certainly its own little world with shopping, charter fishing, spas, salons, tennis, water sports, golf, and special events. Newlyweds, conventioneers, and families all find their fit in this 2,400-acre resort with accommodations spread across five areas: beachfront, beachside, village, bayside, and dockside. Each of the five neighborhood clusters offers a unique locale with villas, cottages, condominiums, boat slips, and an inn. All rooms have a view, either of the gulf, Choctawhatchee Bay, a golf course, a lagoon, or a natural wildlife preserve. This resort accommodates an assortment of tastes, from the simple to the extravagant (the dial-up to the Wi-Fi), but the gigantic suites at the Westwinds are a cut above the rest. Baytowne Wharf is the "downtown" of the complex and has art galleries, wine stores, and a "festival marketplace" of shops and restaurants, so once you get here, you won't need—or want—to leave. Pros: has everything you'd ever need in a resort—and more. Cons: lacks the personal touches of a modest retreat.
