Overall rate this stay average at best. The room and the lobby were clean. The hotel staff was friendly and helpful. The hallways to the room were dim and had an offensive odor. The beach access was convenient, but they will not put the cabanas up if there is a slight wind, even when the surrounding properties up and down the beach had theirs up. The drink service on the beach was ok, once you sought out the workers help. Would try other properties before I would stay here again.

Up dated hotel. Unique hotel on the beach. The Bongos restaurant on the beach was great and convenient to grab lunch and drinks. Hotel room was a bit small, but had a great view of the bay and ocean. Not enough room to unpack 2 suitcases. Staff was very accommodating. Would stay again for the beach.

Can’t beat the views from this resort. From the ocean front rooms, to the roof top lounge and Spinners restaurant with the 360 view was excellent. Overall food options were nice. Thought Spinners could use more dining options. You are definitely paying for that view. The one and only pool was small but clean. Beach was excellent with food/beverage services and plenty of cabanas. Don’t appreciate the 50 dollar per day resort fee especially when not using the beach/pool or parking. Should offer a pay as you go option for the cabanas. Overall nice stay but pricey as is everything on St Pete Beach.

We paid extra for an ocean view room and loved the view. However, we could not enjoy sitting out on the balcony at any point because of the constant tremendous smoke and odor of marijuana being smoked by our neighboring guests, which the ocean breeze blew right back at us and into our room. Several members of the staff were very helpful in providing recommendations of nearby restaurants to enjoy. Parking was a challenge at times on the property.
