Topl's Beach Manor - Sandestin Resort

[JB]

Gibson made it clear to us that if we wanted the amenities package, we would have to purchase it from Tops'l upon arrival, if we wanted it. We looked into it once we got there and decided that it was unnecessary. The primary purpose of the amenities card is to allow you to use the on-site restaurants and gift shop, which didn't interest us.
The Gibson rentals did include a complementary beach set-up, which was what we were most interested in.

Exactly. I think it also entitles you to use of the gym. Can't say lifting weights is at the top of my priority list when I'm at the beach (unless it's 12-ounce curls, which I do many times per day ;-) ).

Now, if you stay at Sandestin, you by all means want a resort card. It entitles you to use all the pools (and towels), the shuttle, etc.
