St. Pete Beach 2009

Lovemylilbean Oct 19, 2009

Would recommend to a friend!

The hotel was nice. Clean rooms. The view from our room (standard parlor room) in the Breckenridge building was of a ... parking lot and a rooftop with empty bottles...but we weren't in our room a whole lot so it didn't bother us much. They tell you in the description of the rooms what it overlooks, so we knew what the view was when we booked it. The resort itself was beautiful. Cabana's were free, and they provided beach towels for you. Drinks were pricey, but you could also have your own liquor at the resort too. Check in time is a 4pm, so that was a bit late. Wish check out time was later than 11am...noon would be better.

Cookie Mom Sep 21, 2009

We did not like the extra fee we had to pay for "activities" I think parking should be included while being a guest at the ... resort. Also we had a 1 1/2" roach in the bathroom when we arrived. We brought it down in a drinking glass the only comment we got was "Oh that's a Palmetto bug". The next day the glass was not replaced by house keeping. The one bright spot was the gentleman manning the paddleboat. He was very polite and wiped down a wet seat before we got in. He's a keeper! The room we had was Quite noisy. At one point it sounded like there was a construction crew next door.

The hotel was rated 4 star AAA and I agree. The location on the beach and landscaping around the facility was beautiful. ... Families with children will love the the planned programing provided by the activity director. The beach front beach front location is lovely but beware of the additional resort fee charge per day. Additionally, check your room location, ours was over a parking lot not a pretty sight. However, the hotel was willing to upgrade our room for an additional fee. The hotel did not appear to be fully booked, a complementary upgrade room would have been nice. That being said, over all this property was among one of the nicest we've stayed at.

Would recommend to a friend!

Brought my daughter to college in St. Pete. We stayed for 3 nights and liked the location, restaurants on site and nearby. ... Didn't like that I had to pay extra for parking in the form of a daily amenity charge. Thought that was ridiculous!

Several very decent restaurants in the area but try Beverly's La Croisette for excellent breakfast, Skidder's for lunch and Snappers or La Luna for dinner. All within walking distance.

Nightlife tip

The strip and resort shuts down fairly early - stores 10:00 p.m. and resort around 11:00 p.m. There may be bars on the beach that stay open however.

--Cindy and Tony, Cleveland, OH Jul 13, 2009

Dining tip, Short Walk

There are many beach bars, and restaurants that are casual and/or classy for a lot less cash than those on the resort. Please patronize them. There is also a beach shop directly across the street from the hotel that sells the same items for a third the cost.
