Jake at the front desk is a great asset to your organization My wife and I checked in at about 6:00 pm on a Thursday with at least three other guests ahead of us on line and at least 2 phone lines ringing Jake handled everything and everyone professionally and courteously

The room was fine although the shade on the door to the balcony needs repair

Nice, clean hotel Up to date amenities, very large room with kitchenette Hotel is in a beautiful neighborhood and there are 2 very good restaurants in the same plaza

The only thing we didn’t care for was the very soft bed which left us both with sore lower backs, you actually have to struggle to get out of the bed There is no breakfast offered but there is a very good diner in the same plaza

If I could give more stars I would! From the day before to leaving was absolutely top notch! Everyone was so nice and attentive to our needs and everyone greeted and had conversation with us! Room was beautiful and spacious! Location was 5 minutes from the beach, and the hotel breakfast was great! We will definitely return for our next stay!

Mark Stern

Comfortable place to stay My room was a little dated compared to the newer and refreshed Residence Inns (Not one USB port in the room

) Front desk staff were friendly and helpful The guests across the hall were partying and woke me at 1:30am A call to the front desk had them quiet down a bit Although it may just have been my room location, there was instant hot water at every faucet Breakfast was a good variety of food I’ll stay here again

Great little motel on the beach Two minutes away from the ocean Rooms are not too big, but clean and cozy

Staff is nice and friendly Free coffee in the morning (they knew i wanted decaf, and were making one every morning specifically for me, which was nice) They also have a clean and heated pool, and a roof where you can get some tan and a view Definitely a good place to stay👍

nancy stella

This was the nicest hotel I’ve stayed at in Clearwater Beach It was so clean The staff was accommodating and very friendly

They have free WiFi It’s just steps away from the beautiful Clearwater beach There are really nice restaurants right in the parking lot Parking and towels were free and the rental beach chairs were the cheapest around They have a really nice sunset balcony and a clean pool There are 3 floors but no elevator but you just take your suitcase up once and done I couldn’t have stayed in a better place

Jerry Thomas

5 stars all the way! We had a second floor room and had a spectacular view of the gulf The service was exceptional from the front desk clerks to the housekeeping staff even the parking lot attendant Perfectly located just past the crowded and loud shop/restaurant district

The beach is literally steps from the hotel and the on site restaurant is directly on the beach You can’t beat the sunset views But I think the best thing was the live music stopped exactly at 9:30pm each night so you can enjoy a quiet evening Will definitely return!!

Location is perfect, the hotel is very clean, heated salt water pool, lots of rooms with kitchens and full size refrigerators for those with kids and travel on a budget On site parking garage, beach towels included, on site restaurants Check for deals and go!

Douglas Considine

We got started off on the wrong foot, my check-in was 2 hours late But we were able to come to an agreement The hotel is well taken care of, and the rooms are beautiful and spacious

You couldn’t ask for a better location to the beach And may I add, what a beach it is All of the amenities are conveniently located Once again great job Hyatt, I think the only problem at this resort may lie with the general manager It seems he’s cutting back on the qualified employees

mathew jadan

Loved the stay! They have an amazing rooftop pool and restaurant and a beautiful sky terrace where you can get remarkable sunrise and sunset views The rooftop restaurant had great food and also a poolThe beach was right across a small downtown looking road

Also, the gulf is much warmer than the ocean which makes it more enjoyable The sand and the beaches are to die for

This is a really nice place for the price The rooms are very large (like a tiny apartment) and have really nice features such as Microwave, fridge/freezer, cups, silverware, and plates 2 full size beds, couch and dining room table

3 sinks total! Free 2 pretzel snacks and 2 little chocolate was in the kitchen area for newcomers which was quite niceThe bathroom is also very spaciousThe beds are quite comfortable, not hard like many other places They have a slight bounce to themService is pretty good although only available in the morning between 7-10am So if you need anything it needs to be requested during those timesThe main entrance area has a pool table, books and board games to check outIt also had a lot of nice outside activities, pool, pickleball, and shuffleboard, Cornhole etcReally think if you’re in the area you should definitely give this place a shot!

Lourdes Rodriguez

This is a great place to stay I booked 2 rooms The rooms are clean, no bugs, no bedbugs, no carpet so, no bad smell either

The facilities are great, they are pet friendly and even have a doggy park You have a pool and other amenities that are well kept The office administration was great, super friendly and understanding, always going above and beyond to make your one our stay even better Super closed to shops and restaurants and only minutes away from Honeymoon Island I am definitely coming back with my family and I recommend 100%!!!!Thank you for a great stay!

East Shore resort is the perfect vacation spot in Clearwater Beach, this property is a rare find the owners and staff are top notch, they could not be any more accommodating The property in so well-manicured every day it is in pristine condition The rooms are so clean, I have never stayed in such perfect conditions

We stayed 2 weeks this year and have booked for a month next year, we cannot wait to return Thank you so much to Billy, Terri and Susan for making our stay so comfortableNancy & Tom McDonald, New Hampshire

Jennifer White

This was our first stay at East Shore Resort, and it will not be our last Our studio was super clean and well equipped The “unexpected FREE extras” and friendly staff really set this resort apart from any other

From the free bikes, up to date laundry facilities, fishing supplies and bait, bottles of sunscreen that were sat around the pool and picnic tables to the free beach gear including coolers, chairs, umbrellas, beach toys, beach towels and moreWe were IMPRESSED! You could ALMOST pack your swimsuit and nothing more! There are only 11 units at this resort which makes it even more quaint, but more likely to be booked So, don’t hesitate book your stay NOW!

Mitchell Faulkner

Smaller locations like this can certainly be hit or miss, but man was this place a homerun! I will never stay anywhere else when visiting Clearwater Beach; our trips will be based around availability here at East Shore From the moment we arrived, Susan was an absolute delight The room was likely the cleanest I’ve ever stayed in and felt like I was right at home

The location is excellent and the amenities offered were more than we expected(fishing supplies, bicycles, refreshments) I cannot recommend this place enough!

My wife and I had a great stay at Beso Del Sol! We had a great view of the water and watched some amazing sunsets Our room was clean and well furnished making it very comfortable Everyone was very friendly and helpful plus The Marker 8 had great food and drinks! Mia, who checked us in was fantastic

She made sure we felt welcomed and comfortable plus threw in a few great tips for local eats

Bekah

Water front was beautiful Staff was friendly But they lied about what room we booked

Found out from one of the staff that they the people in charge do it all the time So fair warning if you book a room that supposed to have a view, separate living area from the bed room they’re lying to you It’s a studio room Other than that they stay was nice

Jake Duft

We love this place! Quiet, Clean, Friendly, Affordable, & Professional! We stayed here over spring break 2021 Needed a one night stay recently, they were more than accommodating When I let them know we wouldn’t arrive until 9:00-10:00pm, they said no problem

In fact, when we arrived she met us at the front desk with key in hand, paperwork ready, and a warm friendly smile No, it’s not on the beach…but they do have a nice clean pool, and it’s not $400 a night, AND you can be at the beach in about 10 minutes We will definitely stay again, next time we’re in Clearwater

We had a great time! Our place at 103 was super clean and beautiful! We even saw the cleaners washing the outside window ledges with a bleaching agent We just had to tip them! The pool was clean and our kids had a great time swimming with no worries We will be back! It is close to every attraction that a family would want

Thank you for a great stay!

Ej Creutzinger

We had a wonderful stay at CBS #105 The apartment was clean, roomy and very comfortable My wife and 2 daughters stayed for the weekend

The place is basically on the beach Easy walk to restaurants and shoppingGated access made us feel safe at all times The pool was 90 degrees The residents and other guests were lovely to interact with I would recommend Clearwater Beach Suites to anyone looking for a great deal on the beach!

Ken Schaub

The location was great with beach access within 2 min walking distance and several restaurants and shops very close The heated pool was great and clean The room was a described and had many of the optional items that weren’t guaranteed (detergent, beach towels, toiletries)

I liked the keyless access and layout of the room We would definitely stay here again

Unit A-4 looks beautifully remodeled from the pictures on the website However, upon further inspection, the new floors are peel and stick over the original tile, and the kitchenette backsplash is peel and stick as well The bathroom has old, dingy tile with mold on the shower curtain

Upon arrival at 3pm, we checked in with the office lady with blonde hair who made it clear she was just covering while the owner was away for the weekend She collected our payment and took us to our unit She pointed and told us that our unit was upstairs There clearly was a cleaning basket located at the top of the stairs which made us wonder if the room would be ready, but she disregarded that and walked away We walked up the stairs and went inside the door only to hear music blasting as the cleaning crew was still there So we were left there staring at them, hold our suitcases and bags, while they finishedIt wasn’t until day 2, when it was pouring rain outside, that we realized we were never given the wi-fi info We called the hotel’s main number around 5pm which said to call the number on the office door for after hour help I went outside in the pouring rain to get the phone number, called and left a message asking for a return phone call since we also could not get the tv to work I never received a phone call The next day, I went to the office and asked for the wifi password The same lady that checked us in said, “don’t you have one of the information sheets in your room?” I told her that we were never given that Would have been nice to have that initiallyThe place was dirty, the bathroom is tiny, and the bathroom sink needed draino The shower constantly smelled like sewer when the water was onThe pool was nice, and the location was great That’s about it

Jamie Wojciechowski

Stayed at the Coral Resort for 3 years at different units and enjoyed each stay The units are owned independently but managed by Coral Resort Location to the downtown area of Clearwater Beach and the beach access is perfect

Once you park at the Coral Resort, you do not need to use your car, everything you need is within walking distance The beach is 2 blocks from the resort and the downtown area which stretches for quite a distance is walkable, if you don’t mind walkingThe heated pool is a great feature especially after a hot day at the beach So nice to enjoy a dip in the pool to rise off the ocean feel Management is always around to assist with questions and to offer suggestions for things to do in the area and any other questions you might have The grounds are kept neat and clean, a pleasure to stay there There are free washers and dryers to use if staying on siteThe 3 units I have stayed in have been fine, just old and needing some upkeep

Glen Barcus

This is hands down the cutest place I’ve ever stayed! The studio condo we stayed in I’d probably rate a 2 or a 3, but they are all independently owned and ran by a part time on site manager The pool was clean The premises was clean and well maintained

The other guests are amazing and genuine On the first night a gentleman was sitting out in the courtyard, he pleasantly welcomed me and told me I’d love it and I’d be back I am a believer If you haven’t been to Clearwater, do it! So fun and touristy but at the same time laid back There are several of these little 1950’s properties nestled into the big resorts all over the area It’s a perfect location and walking distance to everything you could need Oh man, I almost forgot to mention it’s 2 blocks to amazing white sandy beaches!

Amazing location and the rooms are fantastic!! We stayed in a 2 bedroom unit that had central air, a full kitchen with all the amenities, and plenty of closet space Its located just a quick 3min walk by the beach, but far enough away from the main drag that you’re not bothered by the traffic and tourist The staff is wonderful, super friendly, and very helpful with anything you may need from suggestions on where to eat to best places to go on the beach

HIGHLY recommend if your traveling to the Clearwater area!! Special thanks to the manager/host Jane for all of her help!

Victoria Tucker

Overall great clean place and excellent staff! Very accommodating, great location, free bikes and beach material to rent Pool needs updated and rooms are a little small Shower was barely big enough for one person

But what you pay and the location you won’t find any better place Quaint, remodeled, and cute Perfect for two people a little harder for 4 Would stay here again for sure!

Five stars for the location, the cleanliness, and the shower water power It’s a simple motel but charming in the way of cute local Dunedin vibe! I love the tile floors, esp in FL!

(instead of gross hotel carpet) The neighborhood is lovely A brewery is next door Really nice managers They even welcome you to use their rental bikes as a guest for free

Jon Detrow

A five-star review of what Google considers a two-star motel Very clean rooms Amenities include beach chairs, umbrellas, coolers and bikes to ride on the trail across the street

The couple who bought the place more than a decade ago have consistently upgraded the property So if it looks like an old motel, don’t be deceived The rooms may be small, but are very nice Added attraction: a gas grill on the pool deck so you can enjoy dinner right there

April Hackler

We were in a small single bedroom & was to be moved to bigger room after our 2nd night When we returned to update room, Anthony accused of us smoking in the room & threw us out He was extremely rude

We DID NOT SMOKE in his tiny room!!!! There was a table & ashtray right out the door I had read reviews where others had been accused so I even made sure we put our dirty clothes in trash bags because I know they absorb the smoke I am very respectful of any property I stay at I would NEVER smoke in any place I stay I have to add that when I originally booked the room, he only had this single room available for our first 2 nights, then suddenly he says he can switch us to a 2 bed room for the rest of the week I have to wonder if he didn’t have planned to throw us out after those 2 nights because he didn’t have another room available???? We did not spend much time in the room at all except to shower & sleep There is NO WAY our room “reeked” of smoke After calling & leaving a message if I needed to make a police report, he did return my call & refunded our payment less one additional night Thankfully we had additional funds & were able to book at the Hampton

Other than location this hotel sucks The rooms are gross The walls haven’t been painted in decades

There are dirt all over them The floors were beyond gross We had to clean our feet before we went to bed Both my daughters feet looked like they had walked on ashes We complained They sent a maid Pretty sure she mopped the floor with dirty water because they were still grossYa they have WiFi, buts it’s the cheapest window of all time Couldn’t connect in my own roomI do not recommend this place

Kimberly Wells

For the price, I expected a clean room, a MUCH more comfortable bed, a shower that had pressure, and a working pool light and fountain This place being fenced was nice, and the 2 block walk to the beach was convenient However, when the bed is horrendous, AND I found a used dirty towel under the bed, as well as a dead dried up black bug on the sheet, as well as only having a single clean towel and no wash cloth I was disappointed

Perhaps the owners should spend more on maintenance and less in large TVs that are viewed only from an uncomfortable bed Extra towels would have been nice as well

Great resort for a family with kids although the rooms are a little on the older side All the people are very friendly and professional You’ve got tennis, golf, and several small pools with an overall relaxing environment

There’s a driving range next to the main clubhouse by the South course We played South, Island and Copperhead courses – and the club services team moves your equipment around to each course ahead of time Super efficient!

This place was spectacular!!! I didn’t get to enjoy the 6 pools, nor golfing but we will be going back in October The room was very nice, it was like home away from home We had a kitchen, living area, nice room and the bathroom was very nice as well

Going back to the kitchen, it had all the appliances and dishware needed to cook I thank God for my husband, for picking out a wonderful place for the second part of our vacation! ❤️❤️❤️

I loved the condo I stayed in Great WI-FI, beautiful property As an Airbnb renter, I feel like there is no respect shown to visitors who spend thousands over their stay

I felt like a prisoner in my very expensive rental Innisbrook would benefit from issuing a pool pass for guests, especially those who spend over $100 at a restaurant built right next to the pool Perhaps a lower membership package, temporary, allows pool(s) or pool Honestly you are accosted if you go in the pool as a renter and are forced to exit It is scary I spent 8 days inside taking occasional walks and ordering in I came to watch golf and go in the pool, considering there are several Are no pools for guests? ugh Sorry I feel like I wasted money that could have been avoided had management addressed the concerns of several guests who posted prior I am not spending thousands of dollars to take a dip It is ludicrous

Awesome spot Lea and Anna were very accommodating when we had to change our guest numbers last minute Had everything our family needed

Kids loved the pool and my wife and I loved the private dock outback at night The outside of Sand n Sea lit up at night with cool colored lights that give an old school feel Everything was clean, comfortable, and cool inside our suite Beach was a 2 minute walk Highly recommend a stay at this beautiful location We will definitely be back!!!

This property was very clean, convenient and comfortable The location was excellent, being right on the bay where I could watch sunrise and steps away from the beach where I watched sunset I was able to walk to restaurants and shops

The bed was very comfortable, the property was quiet so I rested well I’m so happy with my stay and will be back

Lindsay Lucente

Absolutely in love with this place! Will definitely be coming back in the future Came for a long weekend with my fiancé and we enjoyed sitting by the bay each morning having coffee, we also got super lucky and seen plenty of dolphins swimming in the bay and even got an amazing video of the dolphin who came right by the dock we were staying byA few days that we stayed it rained and Lea was kind enough to email us with tons of things to do in the surrounding areas, so we had plenty to do even on the rainy days

A very great host, the room was clean and we can’t wait to come back!

Opal Sands Resort is a nice hotel with a great view Most of the staff is friendly and willing to do whatever they can to please, but I felt the front desk employee who checked us in didn’t provide a warm welcome Each day we walked by the front desk would ignore us unless we directly approached them

Many avoided eye contact which I felt was odd? A smile goes a long way I do wish there was an adult only pool here as one day the pool was shut down twice for an hour within a few hours because of a kid having an accident in the pool They could also be better about keeping non-guests out of the pool area but I’m sure that’s a challenge they face daily I like that they have cold bottled water available but the snacks and daily fresh cookies (that weren’t there) are a let down for such an expensive hotel Drinks are on the more expensive side but poolside service is good Food at the hotel is okay Room was nice and quiet, beautiful views, comfy beds There is definitely room for improvement here with guest experience, but because of the view and location I would probably return
