Just returned from a 6 night stay using a TEEN award.

When arrived, they gave me 12 breakfast coupons for the three of us, but since my daughter is only 4, she got breakfast for free anyway. I did not have to ask for the coupons, they had them with my reservation when I checked in.

Sandestin is a beautiful place, but I would only rate the rooms average. They also make you pay a $14.00 a day resort fee, which is also taxed at 10%, making it $15.40. I still had to pay this even though I was on an award stay. You don't really get anything of value for this fee, in my opinion, it should be part of the room rate.

I never asked about an upgrade, it just was not that important to me. I did receive a junior suite, limited view, but as it was at the end of the hall, we did have a full view of the beach.

This is really a golf and beach resort, and both are really, really nice.

The bunk beds were just inside the door, and would be considered part of the room, as there is not a separate door, just a short hallway that went straight and opened up to the King sized bedroom. The bathroom was separate, and the was an extra sink/vanity area outside of the bathroom. The room itself had a small refrigerator and microwave at a bar type sink.

Not sure if it is really worth using a TEEN on, especially since now it will take a TEEN2. But, hey it was free, and the resort itself is nice.

(Edited for spelling and added paragraph on bunk beds and room).
