Hey! My kids love water slides and one of the best family vacations that we've ever had was that one time that we stayed in a hotel that had it's own water park. Nowadays, when we travel, I always try to find a hotel that has something fun to do for everyone. To save some time, I've put together this list of hotels and resorts in Destin that have a water park on site. I hope you will like it!
