Gina, I am sorry the reservationist at Holiday Inn Resort on Okaloosa Island did not offer you the listed special. I spoke with the management and they said it should have been honored and the special is still valid through October. You can call the Sales Office directly at 800-526-6427 and Angie or Ivana would be happy to help you with your reservation. Thank you for visiting the Emerald Coast!

Why doesn't Florida recycle?? we enjoyed a wonderful week in Miramar Beach, Destin last week, but were unable to recycle anything! No recycling location in building, or locality that we could find and were ashamed to be adding to land fill our bottles, bags cardboard, paper etc... What a shame for such a important area of conservation. Anyone have any knowledge of where recycling may occur in this vicinity, or who to contact to discuss further? Thank you.
