Lovely place to wind down. Absolutely gorgeous spring lake and foliage - would take the boat trip every day. Excellent restaurant and service. Way too cold on first floor lobby and restaurant requiring a sweater or jacket when dining. No TVs - there should be a better warning about that. Intend to visit again next spring.

When we travel to see family in Destin, we make it a point to stay at Wakulla Springs on our way. It is such a unique property. You can’t stay in your room and watch tv because there isn’t one! It’s a place to take in the natural beauty surrounding the area. Be sure to take the boat ride. The restaurant is excellent, and the staff is friendly
