Kids Krew

The Hilton Sandestin Resort has daytime and nighttime kids programs (ages 5-12) so you spend some kid-free time at the resort. They have themed days with different activities for the kids each day!

Kids Krew

The room is filled with 4 smart TVs, iPads, computers, and new game systems. On sunny days, the licensed staff also take the kids outside for kite-flying, water balloon fights and sand-sculpting along the beach.

Serenity by the Sea

The 11,000-square-foot spa was definitely one of my favorite parts of the trip. Unfortunately, the massage area of the spa was temporally closed due to recent storm damage and flooding.

While waiting on our pedicure appointment, we still got enjoy the peace and quiet in our plush robes at the women’s lounge with the whirlpool and sauna steam room.

Lunch

After the spa, all the kids met up for lunch at Picnix, one of the six restaurants located on the property. Picnix has an assortment of deli sandwiches and wraps, and Edy’s ice cream for the kids! We also got to meet Sunny the Sea Turtle there!

Beach Time

Then we spent a few hours at the beach lounging in our reserved chairs, playing in the water and sipping on Cinco de Mayo margaritas.
