Awesome location Walk right on to a great beach Nice heated pool
Rooms are individually owned and vary greatly Make sure you look at pictures of the exact room you are booking so you know what you’re getting Our room had a great setup Had 2 balconies and came with beach toys and chairs (although one chair was broken) Room could have used a little more upkeep and deep cleaning, but we didn’t spend much time in the room We were out enjoying the beach!
Linda Scott
The Island Inn is in a great location and the view from our room was spectacular! Staff was friendly However, the room was aged Decor on the walls was fitting and calming
But furniture, floors, baseboards, shower, bathroom area, closet doors all need repair or replacement Pool area clean and great, beach awesome It is sad to pay so much and not have updates and repairs needed To me the room felt like cleaning and upkeep isn’t a priority But I did love the view and pool!!!
Nichole Harrison
Awesome! Stayed in room 415, (the mermaid room) waterfront view of the Gulf It was very clean and nice, (looked newly renovated) had everything we needed We were able to cook on a two burner stove top and it also included a air fryer oven and full fridge
Our room had a king bed and a queen Murphy bed so we were able to sleep 4 With a couch/living space The grounds were really clean, everyone was so friendly, the staff was very accommodating The beachside bar was hopping and they serve snacks (pizza, cheeses sticks, etc) throughout the day Very centrally located, so easy to get to Can’t wait to go back

EDITED:This was my first experience with this hotel, so I wanted to write a reviewThe room was nice and spacious, the bathroom was nice and everything was clean There was a smell upon entering the room, which I’m not big on cleaning chemicals personally, but with what’s going on I understand that some hotels use them
The AC is very powerful so be wary if you put it on too cold, as there are no fan settingsThere is an $18 a day Valet, and the valet was quick and attentive when needing the car The front desk was helpful and nice when checking inThe pool had some leaves in it but was overall clean and was enjoyable to useThere were a couple of little things that happened, but overall I would definitely stay again
USMCSDI
My wife and I were transferred to this hotel from Staybridge Suites because they had room blockages What a break for us! Our stay and are room were GREAT! We had a balcony with a view and the front desk staff was just GREAT at his job His name is Joshua and he’s one of the friendliest front desk employees we’ve had the pleasure of dealing with
He recommended a restaurant for lunch it boy it did not disappoint Clean rooms, great service and a delicious complimentary breakfast what else could you ask for? We will definitely stay at this hotel the next time we visit beautiful downtown St PetersburgChris & Nicole White

We had an ocean view room with a balcony and 2 king beds The room was nice and very clean, the beds were very comfortable, and the view was awesome We were on the same side as Bongo’s so we were able to hear the live music every night until midnight
That did not bother us, but it may be a problem for others, especially those with children We were able to get either an umbrella or a cabana on the beach every day, but I would suggest going out a little early to get one They do not service the rooms daily so you have to ask for more towels if you need them beforehand, and we were able to get fresh towels very quickly We emptied our own trash in the large bin near the elevator daily so I cannot comment on how quickly they respond to that particular request I would suggest that they put larger waste baskets/trash cans in the rooms to help alleviate this issue some We never had a problem finding a parking space even though the lot always looked full (they do have a parking attendant) At times, there were crowds waiting for the 2 operational elevators, usually during peak meal times when patrons were going up to the rooftop restaurant My biggest complaint would be the overall value You would expect more for the amount of money you are spending Granted, pandemic-related staffing shortages could be the reason the rooms are not serviced daily
Britney Nusser
This hotel is definitely not a luxury hotel, but the rooms were comfortable and clean and the balcony is accessible! We had an ocean view with two king beds, which was the selling point for us Our party of two kids and two adults sprawled out and slept like babies each night so we did not regret this room However, there was a wedding each night and the music was blaring until late at night so I wouldn’t stay here with young kids if they go to bed early
The hotel is within walking distance to some amazing restaurants (Breakfast @ Cafe Soleil, Lunch @ Rum Runners and Dinner @ Snappers or 1200 Chophouse just to name a few) The beach is perfect with low waves and amazingly soft white sand! The cabanas and beach side service are an awesome amenity and made our stay enjoyable for the most part…It took 4hrs to get ONE drink in the cabana our first day here, but didn’t have any issues going forward Bongos (outdoor on-site restaurant) had live music, creative and delicious drinks, and good food***My biggest complaint is that they are NOT servicing the rooms unless it is requested and they had horrible attitudes when we requested more towels, coffee, trash empty, or an occasional sweep of the sand We were here 9 days and I called a couple of times for fresh towels and to have our overflowing baby trash cans emptied On day 5 I asked for new sheets, towels, and coffee and I was met with a STRONG attitude I don’t need everything perfect and I can do most of it myself, but then what is the point of vacation and why on earth am I paying $400/night?
Windy Wike Leighton
We loved our stay here! The staff were always kind, friendly, and helpful Every single person on staff I came across seemed happy to be there and happy to answer any questions They were short staffed though at the beach bar; it never affected our week day stay though as it wasn’t that busy
The lobby, restaurants, bars, and amenities were all great We were so happy with our choice to stay at the bellwether for those reasons! All of these have been remodeled and are really nice and make for a great vacationThe only downside of the bellwether is that the remodels stop on the above mentioned The rooms and hallways are subpar I don’t think the rooms were nasty or falling apart; just nothing compared to the lobby you walk into And the hallways were so hot Rooms are just very old; feels like your in an old motelWe spent very little time in our room and lots of time enjoying the resort and amenities so it didn’t bother us all that much and we would probably stay again!

CURRENTLY UNDER CONSTRUCTION!!! While I’m not one to normally leave a bad review, our stay at the vinoy certainly left a lot to be desired especially given the price At first arrival, we noticed that the hotel was under construction which was not previously disclosed to us The construction was loud and the fitness area was unavailable which was not noted by staff or easily seen on the website (if at all even present) when we booked our room
We were greeted by Susan who was both rude and unprofessional two days in a row So why give it three stars instead of 1? Following these experiences, we did speak to Gabriel the manager who worked to smooth things over The historic hotel is absolutely beautiful even under construction and the accommodations (other than the sound) were great The other staff, specifically Ismail, Marcus, Jimmy, and those at the restaurant went above and beyond to make our stay pleasant Because there was only one “bad apple” and construction was going on, we were encouraged to come back which we will consider because of the people who did enhance our experience
Chris Dingus
I was here for a conference Wonderful hotel in a nice location in St Petersburg The staff is friendly and nice
The rooms are nice There are two sections: the older original and the newer section While I was here (Mar 2022), the older section had a lot of construction happening I heard they’re updating things to go for a 5 star rating so surely the updates will be worth it
Khalid Yasin
I expected a much better experience At a late night checkin, front desk receptionist argued there’s no way I had a room because they were fully booked After checking, she realized that I did and gave me my key without apologizing! The shower drain in my room was clogged
The safe was not working either To top things off, I found a note in my room saying they will be coming in to upgrade the phone system during the day I called the front desk requesting no one should enter my room in my absence They assured me this won’t happen if I leave the “do not disturb” sign on my door When I returned to my room later that day, I found they had entered and upgraded the phone anyway Finally, I went down to the front desk one night asking if there was a vending machine anywhere, but attendant said “no we don’t have one for guests” I walked away confused thinking “do they have one for staff?” Five minutes later I asked another receptionist who nicely pointed me to the vending machine! I’m not sure about the quality of the training here, especially night shift It’s a shame!

The facilities are beautiful The staff are wonderful The location is fabulous
One problem, the room was filthy We stayed for 8 nights in a king beachfront suite I reported the conditions (piles of dust above refrigerator, broken vase that cut me in bathroom, floors never swept or vacuumed, and don’t even think of pulling out the sofa bed—you could live a week off the crumbs and food bits in there)The only response I ever got was “We will tell the cleaning crew We will mention it to management” For ~$500 per night including a daily resort fee and an extra $100 per day to have our 15 lb dog with us we expected a clean room, but that was certainly not the caseI even provided pictures (attached to this review) of each concern after my stay only to receive the same response and no make good or attempt to keep me as a returning customer This is Opal service? Stunned actuallyI actually recommend you consider this resort for your stay, especially the king suites with wraparound, oceanfront balconies—which are truly breathtaking Just be sure they tidy up or you’ll be living with dust bunnies and other people’s leftovers
Rob Allison
Absolutely wonderful experience and stay From the front desk personnel, to the gentleman greeting and helping us with our luggage, to the restaurant staff, and the janitorial staff…top notch service and quite possibly our favorite place to have ever stayed
Rooms were very clean and the mattress was so incredibly comfortable! If I could give this place an extra star I absolutely would!Also…I want to give Edwin a special thank you and shout out for his personal willingness to help direct us to local attractions, and his courtesy throughout the weekend He loves his job and it sure shows!
Maggie Marcyan
We did a girls trip here for a few days and it was incredible Great service, extremely clean, and comfortable The area is walkable with a lot to do so you don’t need a car
The weather was amazing at the end of April Great beach, amazing sun, and they offered a yoga class on the beach which was very fun! Shoutout to Fitz Yoga! Stay here if you want to relax and have a great time in a beautiful place

This Hilton was definitely one of the better Hilton properties I’ve stayed at recently Unfortunately, I’ve found that Hilton’s standards have declined DRASTICALLY ever since the onset of COVID-19, but this hotel thankfully has managed to preserve the Hilton standards I once knew and loved The property was impeccably clean
The room was drop dead silent at night and the bed and its linens were excellent I slept like a baby at this hotel My only critique that is NOT a fault of the hotel is that there aren’t many dining options nearby Most restaurants will be a 10-15 minute drive, so if restaurant proximity matters to you as a traveler you may want to consider somewhere else Nonetheless, I’d recommend this hotel and would stay again if in the area
Shane Van Wasshnova
Remember to use ʜoᴛᴇʟʙᴏʟʟʏᴄᴏm when booking a resort This site will compare thousands of booking websites and normally will have rates a lot cheaper compared to others! Thank me later on! This place is one of the best in the area
I have been coming here for years If you stay for a few days you for sure will love it I’m sure!The staff at this location were all wonderful and hotel is beautiful Our Jr suit was very spacious and pretty modern The only thing I recommend is eating out The LuX restaurant is super expensive and tasteless We had a better breakfast at a local Cafe named Cosmos Other than that everything including the pool and the nature trail were beautiful Wish you would modify the pool hours since there is some people that can only go in at night

10/10! From the moment we arrived everything was wonderful John at the front office was so accommodating and kind Our suite had everything we needed and more for a 10-person girls’ trip
We had one issue with our doorknob getting stuck and maintenance was there to replace it almost immediately! Just steps from the beach and within walking distance of so many restaurants and shops A truly fabulous place to stay!!
Amber Lee
I guess this review never posted! This was by far an awesome hotel! The service was top notch with John at the front desk Beach chairs, wagon, and everything was included The room was clean and the kitchen was perfect
We grilled by one of the pools and enjoyed how clean it was The location was perfect I would stay here again and again!
Tom Kowalczyk
Very friendly and accommodating staff (they pulled out a tricycle for a toddler to use) Great value with easy access to the beach The street that you cross to walk to the beach is not busy at all, which was a concern when we booked but was a non-issue
The hotel itself is nicely remodeled and our 1-bedroom suite had plenty of space for two adults and one toddler, and was well-furnished and equipped (kitchen) The two pools are nice to have too and kid-friendly You can also help yourself to additional towels We also loved having access to their several bicycles, several wagons, beach toys, towels, beach chairs and umbrellas since we were flying in from out of town and couldn’t bring all of that There are also some decent restaurants and a few ice cream shops within walking distance Highly recommend this place if you are looking to save some money and you are a couple or have a small family

From start to finish, we had an amazing time at this Hilton The staff was friendly and attentive Room was immaculately clean and comfy
The view was phenomenal The fact that you literally do not have to leave the premises to eat and sleep is a win for me All around a great stay and will definitely visit again Don’t hesitate to book your room We came during red tide and honestly we didn’t even miss the beach The pool was sufficient for the kids and the bars at night were perfect for the adults It was a win-win
Alexis Rieger
The resort was clean and so were the rooms Staff were friendly The pool area was nice and the beach was beautiful
Food was great and the drinks were great Lots of places around the resort and a very safe area Only downfall, I paid more for a partial view room and could see or hear nothing Faced a parking lot I wouldn’t recommend the upgrade for that
Chris Gorsuch
Everything you expect from Hilton is bundled into this location A two person cabana with chairs on the beach was included with our room Coconut Charlies is the hotel restaurant/bar and they had reasonably priced quality food
The drinks were decent during their happy hour The live music every day of our stay was good Also, conveniently the hotel bar Johnny B’s next door at the Beachcomber was open to the public and had some great live entertainment also We went there one night also There are free rides with a small tip to local businesses that make mingling around the area convenient If you get out, be sure find out some of the local hangouts There are some gems in the area One that stood out was called Category 36 less than a mile away 36 draft options, wonderful owner and staff, the food was top quality and very tasty

I catered for a friends wedding here the pictures do not do it justice! We did have all the hotel and house for the weekend We were able to keep the house an extra night and appreciate it even moreThis is not a new cookie cutter mold motel
It is a beautifully maintained unique property that has an elegant feel to it All of the rooms are different and just lovingly cared and maintained decorated beautifully Three beautiful boat slips with docks I stayed in the pool room omg the view is outstanding My bed was fantastic lots of pillows and blankets were cozy I found the property to be spotlessThere is daily staff on the property super helpful and friendly The office provides bottled water and breakfast cakes etc

Literally just checked in about two hours ago and felt compelled to leave a glaring review Check in was super easy, the place is quaint and beautiful, room was affordable and is spacious and cozy, staff was very accommodative: even gave me a free bottle of wine, and she guaranteed that I would be able to hang out for the day and they would watch my luggage after I check out so I can wait for my flight Absolutely fantastic

This small waterfront boutique resort is seriously the ultimate hidden gem of Tampa Bay Everything was phenomenal from the rooms to the staff to the stunning views from the pool and private dock I was looking for an area to propose to my girlfriend and found this gem online and it did not disappoint
I had roses and rose pedals delivered that day and the staff took care of the delivery and set the flowers up beautifully in our room The proposal went phenomenal and neither her or I could of asked for a better location and resort to spend our special night and weekend Thank you Pasa Tiempo staff for taking care of us so well and helping make everything perfect We couldn’t be more happy and will be back every year for weekend getaways

Loved this place Staff was great The rooms were nice
I think due to staff shortage we didn’t get any service to our room, but we grabbed some extra towels as that was all we needed Close to the beach ⛱ which was right across the street Close to tourist hang outs We were told there is a free taxi service if you ask at the front desk Had a nice free breakfast buffet I would highly recommend this place The prices are very reasonable
Christine lumbasio
A frequent traveler and always stayed at this place! This time went with my 20 month old son and the staff was absolutely amazing!!! Deborah was knowledgeable and accommodating We loved our room cause it was facing the marina and my son LOVES boats The beach is a little walk but SO worth it! If you are traveling with babies make sure you use the stroller to go to the beach, there is a paved path and once you get on the sand very easy to navigate
Also, the bartender at the tiki was very friendly and we stayed here a whole week and had a great time!!! We will be back! Thank you:-)
Emily Tidwell
We had a great time and everyone was friendly But wanted to share a few things that bothered us for place that said it was a resort1
The pool was not kept very clean I understand its tourist season but it should be closed for at least 45 minutes halfway during the day just to clean it At times it was very nasty2 The pool towels were not maintained Hardly ever did they have towels stocked at the pool We tried to enjoy the hot tub but half the jets didn’t work Like they were clogged up by something3 We really liked the Cabana bar but we kept feeling like we’re going to fall into the chairs They were very damaged4 The breakfast was good but if you came 45 mins to an hour before they stop serving then you probably weren’t going to get much There were some days that the breakfast trays weren’t refilled

Giving this place a solid 5 stars! My friends and I stayed for 4 nights last week and we couldn’t have asked for more Spacious well equipped room with a wonderful balcony (sunset view included with ours!), awesome front desk associates with great suggestions, super duper beautiful waterside pool and hot tub, great bar/bartender (Kelly!) and a convenient 18 minute walk to a great beach (where you can rent a beach chair for $5 forthe whole day)! I would come back here any day of the year Thank you Courtyard Marriott Madeira Beach for a perfect stay!

This experience was terrible Our first day here, we were able to switch rooms but my wife forgot her wedding rings in the first room We informed front desk guy, Brian, who sent an employee to let us back into the room to search for the rings
They rings were not there When we went down to inform Brian at the front desk, he vehemently denied that anyone might have taken them I asked him to ask the only housekeeping employee who had cleaned that room after we switched rooms Brian called and we heard the guy say he found 2 rings and that he “forgot ” to bring them down REALLY??? Why didn’t front desk call housekeeping right away to check if he found the rings when we called down the first time?We stayed 7 days last year and enjoyed our stay so much that we decided to come back this year to stay another 8 days With this incident and now they decided to charge $10 parking per day, we’ll take our business elsewhere This is not okay and I am a silver elite member with Marriott
Chris Sorento
Top notch service These people are very good making you feel important and they are very professional Rooms were clean
Loved the balcony Good treadmills The location was beautiful and close to publix and other food like McDonald’s and a pizza place Plus they have a bistro The legion was loud next door but could not hear them with patio shut The bad thing was the pool It looked very dirty Did not want to get sick swimming in it Lighting in room and bathroom was dark Beds were hard but better than lumpy Would stay here again if the pool gets cleaner

Recently remodeled, the hotel was everything we were hoping it would be, and we had a great experience I would have given it 5 stars except the bathrooms are beyond small, and being 6’4″ my shoulders were touching the glass door and the wall in the shower at the same time, and the hand shower attachment didn’t work Everything else was top notch and perfect for us celebrating our 34 year anniversary of the day I met my wife, Valentines day
Oh yeah, the elevator system was strange, not a big deal, just ahead of its time, my jury is still out on that one, so not a plus or minus 🙂
Aura M. Cisneros
Great stunning sunset views Clean ample beach with soft white sand Rooms are very clean, updated, and comfortable
Great ambiance for weddings and romantic trips I was on business but traveling with my husband and turned into a great getaway!Live music at night, excellent restaurants serving quality food I am coming back!
Michelle Grove
The Don Cesar is incredible! The pink palace hotel is gorgeous and the pristine white beaches and beautiful blue gulf are stunning The staff here is unsurpassed! Thomas Fraher the GM made sure our stay was perfect as did an array of staff including Andrea, Nick, Priscilla, Curt, Cam, Eleni, and Heidi to name just a few! The food and drinks are outstanding Every experience we had at The Don Cesar was excellent and we have put it at the top of our favorite places to be!! Bravo to everyone at the Don Cesar who made our stay so impressive and unforgettable! We will be back soon and can’t wait!

Great location and cute boutique in a historic building It’s within walking distance to numerous restaurants , museums, and parks The room and bathroom were spacious
The rooftop bar is pretty at sunset Some negatives are that the lighting is very dim and there is no privacy with the curtains open for light Breakfast was basic and never changed throughout the week The AC was very loud so bring earplugs
Andy Walburg
Beautiful rooms, large bathrooms but the noise outside the window, wow! All rooms have a window facing a narrow enclosed courtyard In that area is the entrance for the hotel, the entrance for the canopy bar, and and an area used for special events On a Friday or Saturday night there are lots of people having way too much fun so you better have ear plugs
Even with the windows closed it is very loud outside
Scott Davis
My wife and I stopped by with our dog for lunch and were immediately treated like family by Peter our waiter who offered our dog a bowl of water and promptly took our drink orders Peter was great and we thoroughly enjoyed his personality and recommendations The food was outstanding and the atmosphere was awesome although a bit hot outside in July
We will certainly come back

Wonderful resort for our vacation! Chris at the front desk was exceptionally helpful and friendly The whole staff was very polite and courteous I was pleasantly surprised that every staff member we encountered offered a warm greeting and a smile! Great location, perfect sugar sand beach! The building isn’t new by any means but it’s been remodeled recently enough to appear modern
Clean rooms amazing amenities and access to multiple other resorts each with there own bars, restaurants and unique amenities
Jihan Bzeih
Wonderful resort! I’ve stayed here a few times already and it never disappoints Our suite was clean and spacious Beautiful sunset views from the suites! Food at the restaurant and drinks at the bar were great
A bit pricey but overall expected at resorts I love how it’s only a few steps away from Tradewinds, which you have access to and can enjoy the amenities there as well Overall, I love this resort and I’ll always be a returning customer!
Lisa Rasheed
(Girls Trip) We checked-in and was given the incorrect room and the lady at the front desk (I won’t say her name) was very nonchalant about the situation even though we showed her our invoice We went through 3 rooms before they got it right The guy who took our luggage to the room was non-responsive to us even though we tipped him $10
We were told that the late check-out fee was $20 a hour after 12 and then told $40 dollars an hour after 11 The manager tried to avoid us at times But after having to go through a bunch of no nonsense conversations we were given the correct room and was not charged anything for the extended check-out time The rooms were supposed to be renovated, but I could not tell I would like to say that a worker by the name of Victor was very very polite to us and showed us a lot of the amenities that were around We will not go to the resort again It was a few other things that went on, that I will not get into on the review (I believe we were being racially profiled) Overall the resort was nice, but the customer service can be much better I gave 2 stars because of the poor customer service,

This place was a little slice of paradise! It was super cute & clean The pool area was amazing with oversized cabanas and it was very enjoyable relaxing in the hammock under the palm trees The beach is only a block away which was great! They provided everything you needed for your beach journey coolers, chairs, floating devices and even a beach wagon to haul all your beach necessities which was very convenient
I would definitely stay at this location again!!!!
Jamice Johnson
Me and my daughters stayed here this past weekend and it was amazing It was my first solo trip with really small kids and I felt so safe We were in walking distance to everything, I really didn’t have to move my car
I even felt comfortable walking at night They have little wagons that you can use for the beach (which is right across the way, literally you could walk there in one minute) , which definitely was a life saver with a 7 month old and 3 year old The bed and pillows were a dream Everything was fully stocked The pool area was nice, we didn’t use it but it looked very appealing There is designated parking spots, so that was a win win as well! I’d recommend this place a thousand times over
Omar Jaber
Great experience at this hotel/villa John was amazing He welcomed us immediately and was super helpful, one of the nicest front dest persons I have ever dealt
As for the room and environment I would give it a 5 star all around The rooms were very nice, clean, and had plenty of space There was also just such an amazing atmosphere at this place Everything was decorated so well and there were plenty of places to just sit and talk Will definitely be staying here again!

Heidi Lee
The front desk is extremely rude Our first day we went in to ask where to park and the gentleman there was so disrespectful Then they said if they think their getting in their rooms at 4 they’re wrong
They never had ice on premises They said to use the ice in the freezer in our room That isn’t going to fill my cooler up for the beach The key cards are a hit or miss That’s fun with kids standing there for 20 minutes trying to get in your room Check in I went in at 4 pm and of course they stated not ready so I waited there well in come two customers to check in they took them right away and their rooms were ready We waited 45 minutes for ours This hotel is not cheap and to be treated so poorly and to not have working key cards at all times or ice on premises and horrible staff is totally unacceptable The room itself was very nice No complaints and our stay was good The ac is set to 85 so I would suggest you set it to 72 and go out to the beach, when you get back a few hours later it’s about 75 much nicer ! Parking they say is for two vehicles but that’s only if there is a spot available It’s not a private beach like the websites say It allows public access hence why there’s no places to park if you have more than One vehicle I hope that they train their staff to be more respectful to the people who pay to keep the hotels lights on and their paycheck I wouldn’t give them a one star because like I said the room was nice The property itself was ok Nothing that qualifies for that cost per night
Chris N. N
Just south of John’s Pass, an open air, waterfront tourist destination you won’t want to miss Great restaurants and unique specialty shops, boat and jet ski rentals There are dolphin watch cruises
Just across Gulf Blvd is great fishing from the sea wall lining the pass which flows under a draw bridge After all the fun return to the comfort and quiet of the vistas Lay by the pool, take a walk on the beautiful beach, have an exotic cocktail at the full service bar or order in room service It’s a fantastic location with 5 star service and amenities
Theresa Leinbach
First the “good”
we stayed in one of the penthouses which was as big as our home! Love the spacious master and the fabulous gulf front view We appreciated having two parking spaces available for the penthouse stay The guest parking available on property is very convenient and very hard to find ANYWHERE else along the beaches The security on property were friendly and helpful Now the “not so good”cleanliness is clearly a problem in the unit we rented 🙁 The air filters were filthy and the air handler unit was COATED in dirt We called to have it attended to and it was taken care of the following day Dishes were dirty (glad I always travel with my paper products)! Fridge exterior and stove were not clean, sliding door tracks were reallllllly dirty, and the hot tub did not have hot water! I sincerely hope the management team reads these reviews and follows up with the people responsible for maintaining this property We live locally and most likely will be booking again but would sure love to not have to be our own cleaning crew upon check-in next time we visit

The room and location are awesome Never had a need for Service so can’t say either way Spacious room, nice little vacation kitchen, close to all kinds off things to do
Great place Only complaint, as a “Resort”, maybe put in the curved shower curtain The bathroom was like a spare rooms bathroom with a small shower and straight bar Was very tight Fat people go on vacation too! It’s an older place, but very clean, AC worked great, and the doors going out to the beach were amazingly soundproof For the price, it was a definite value
Greg Olyansky
Nice place with friendly staff Bring things with you to the beach like food, its a long walk and no immediate options available for eats Rooms were cleaned every day
A nice stay for several days Beach is good quality Bring plenty of change and cash for umbrellas/chairs, its not cheap Nice pool and nice hot tub Bar is pretty good too Strong alcoholic beverages
Nathan Milam
We had an issue checking in and thankfully after some back and forth with the front desk, their manager, Donna, was able to resolve everything and make our vacation a success Miss Doris from house keeping was very kind and attentive and we love the hilarious bartender I can not stress enough how grateful we are to Donna for saving our trip
We’ll definitely be back and can happily recommend this resort

First of this place is beautiful and secluded if you’re a local st Pete person and want somewhere cool to take a date then go hereCool rooftop bar that has an amazing view and lots of space and good cushions and lounging areas!The bar/restaurant downstairs is truly good and fast and efficient service and food comes out super quickThe upstairs close at capacity so be warned if it’s somewhat close to closing time
No big deal as the bartender accommodated us nicely and everything was perfectCheck it out!
Timothy Hannan
Nice new hotel built in late 2019 Our 1 bedroom suite was big with stylish decor, good size kitchen and separate bedroom / bathroom Location is unique on the small island of Tierra Verde which is mostly residential but a few restaurants are nearby
The “bay view” suites seem to be in the corner of the building so they have views in two directions with two balconies Good breakfast every morning with mixture of hot and cold options Staff was friendly and helpful
Clevon Sparks
My experience here was excellent I booked an Air BnB which was awful so I left We came here without a Reservation and told Tucker at the front desk my situation
He was beyond helpful finding me the best rate for my stay at the hotel He also shared some tips on the local restaurants The next day, I went to the front desk to extend my stay and Loretta was super friendly and helped with my request The room was clean, spacious, and quiet The bed was comfortable The bathroom was spacious and nicely laid out I love it here and I will be back
