Usually an explorer, I happily never left this Florida resort and my amazing view

Visiting Florida beaches, I usually can’t wait to explore nearby restaurants and bars, but when I checked into the Hilton Sandestin, I turned contrarian.

While guests flocked to the beach to see gorgeous sunsets slip below the horizon, I stayed back, as every room had a private balcony. Looking over prime steaks on the menu at the AAA, four-diamond steakhouse, Seagar’s, I cherished the pan-seared, tableside-deboned Dover Sole. At their spa, I couldn’t decide between the deep-tissue massage or jumping inside the touchless Hydrojet Light Pad table, so I did both.

Naturally, at check-out time, I didn’t want to leave.
