8.6/10 Excellent! (919 reviews)

Room and property were amazing, but the entire duration of our stay our water heater was having issues. We mentioned it the first day we were there and it never got fixed. The room, resort, and staff were lovely, but for the price of the room, we were extremely disappointed we couldn’t take a hot shower once during our stay.

We enjoyed our stay here. Big fan of rose’ on check in. Loved the walking paths, spa island and the overall vibe of the resort. Lots of food options. Loved night walks on the pier. Staff was helpful when we thought we had a shower issue in the later evening after check in and responded quickly. The pools and hot tubs were fabulous, just wish they were open later when the sunset hour becomes earlier. Overall we would stay here again.

Excellent time at this property. Only thing I wish was a little bit later checkout time as our flight wasn’t until 9pm at night and we had to be out by 10am. I understand it was most likely due to cleaning for incoming guest so we made it work. Overall I would definitely stay at this property again if we ever returned to Clearwater.
