Reviews and Ratings
I had a lovely stay at this hotel, where the staff was incredibly friendly and attentive, making us feel welcomed throughout our visit. The cleanliness and upkeep of the rooms added to the comfort, and the private beach access was a fantastic bonus. However, I did encounter some minor issues in the room that could use some attention, so there is room for improvement. Overall, the experience was enjoyable and worth the money.
I found a hidden gem at this hotel with a lovely private beach, perfect for relaxation away from the crowds. The beach setup with chairs and umbrellas was affordable, and the staff, especially Mark, was very accommodating. On the flip side, my experience was marred by a few issues like cleanliness in the pool area and some maintenance delays that could use attention. Overall, it’s a decent choice for a family vacation, but it does have some room for improvement.
I had an excellent time at this hotel in Clearwater, Florida. The staff was super accommodating, and I really enjoyed my stay overall. The room was clean, and the beach access was a major highlight. However, I did notice some areas in need of upgrading, particularly in the bathrooms, which distracted from the overall experience. Despite this, I'd consider coming back, especially for the great location next to the beach.
My stay at this hotel was absolutely wonderful! The highlights were the pristine pool and the beautiful beach access, making it the perfect spot for relaxation. The staff was incredibly attentive and made sure we had everything we needed during our visit. There were just a couple of downsides, such as the rental fees for beach loungers and umbrellas, which felt a bit steep. Overall, I couldn't have asked for a better vacation experience and I can't wait to return!

The staff was mostly friendly, though there was a bit of a hiccup with service on one occasion. Overall, it was a good value for money, especially considering the great location and decent amenities.
My stay at the hotel was quite a mix of experiences. I was lucky to get a room after another hotel dropped my reservation, but I found out there was an unexpected parking fee. The location was fantastic for enjoying outdoor music and was close to the beach, although it was a bit noisy due to renovations. Overall, it was a reasonable stay amidst some inconveniences.
Our recent stay was delightful overall. The private beach was amazing and just steps away, making it perfect for family fun. The rooms were clean, and the atmosphere was lively with great live music. However, we were a bit disappointed by the $18 daily parking fee and the outdated room condition. Despite these downsides, it was still a memorable trip!
Our stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. While the room was spacious and well equipped, the wait for check-in was frustrating and affected our plans.

I had a pleasant stay at the hotel with a few ups and downs. The location is excellent, with plenty of activities around, and the staff was friendly and accommodating. However, I didn't have a beach view despite getting a comfortable room, and the dining options could have been better. Overall, it was a good experience for the price I paid.
I recently stayed at this hotel and found it had a fantastic location right on the beach, which was perfect for my getaway. However, the rooms were quite small and not very clean, especially with paint chipping off the ceiling. The staff, though very friendly and professional, struggled to keep the noise down at night, making it hard to get restful sleep. Overall, while there are some positives, I wouldn't say it's the best value for money.
My recent stay was quite the mixed bag. The location near the private beach was fantastic, providing easy access to various activities. However, the rooms left much to be desired; they felt outdated, and our first room had plumbing issues. Service was friendly but occasionally slow, and dining options were minimal. While I loved the beach access, I think improvements are definitely needed in room upkeep.
I had a great stay at this hotel, which boasts a clean and comfortable atmosphere. The location is perfect for enjoying both the beach and nearby restaurants. However, be prepared for extra charges for beach chair rentals, which can add up. Overall, it offers good value for money, but some amenities could be more inclusive.
I had a bit of a rough start at the hotel with a late check-in, but the location was beautiful and had a nice vibe. The staff was generally helpful, especially one person who really went out of their way to make my child feel special. However, I did find the wait for my room a bit too long, which affected some of my plans. Despite the hiccup, the view from my room was better than expected, and the manager was kind enough to waive parking fees as an apology.
