The sugary sands and dolphins of the islands -- on Florida's West Coast

Located on 13 acres of sugary sand on St. Pete Beach, the Sirata Beach Resort combines warm Gulf breezes with famous West Coast sunsets. Guests can stroll along the sandy beaches, swim in the pools and whirlpools or, if they are lucky, catch a glimpse of wild dolphins offshore. Adventurous types can try a variety of water sports in the Gulf of Mexico, including parasailing and Waverunner rentals. At the end of a long day in the Florida sun, a hammock is the best seat in the house.

Highlights
  • Three beachfront pools (heated when necessary), two whirlpools
  • Beachfront hammocks, poolside or beachside cabanas (fees apply)
  • Exclusive golf privileges less than five miles away at an 18-hole Championship golf course

Great beach location

Room large and clean, but air-conditioner pretty noisy. Lovely beach just outside the hotel. Typical Florida beach-front hotel, but had bars and restaurant on-site. Others nearby.

Wonderful break for two

The staff was attentive to all our requests. There was a need for a room change and they upgraded us without hesitation to a beach view executive suite. The $10.00 daily internet fee was an addition that was excessive, especially when most of the hotels on the beach advertised free wi-fi access. There are plenty of activities and facilities on site at the Sirata and many others in walking distance. We may consider a limo from the airport next time and forgo the rental car. overall a great experience, we will stay with them again.

June 23-25 stay

The property was well maintained. I witnessed constant upkeep: pianting of parking curbs, painting buildings, trimming trees, landscape, pool maitenaince, washing drives, all throughout the day and evening shift. well staffed housekeeping. This was a family weekend, taking my parents and visiting Aunt out of town. We spent 3 days at the Sirata Resort in a Queen suite with sleep sofa and kitchenette, with stove. Nicely situated right on beach front with plenty to busy yourself. Fitness room was too coldly air conditioned for warm muscles. I didn't use it. Be sure to ask about the $20.00 day charge bundle of parking,and cabana fee. cabanas are 15.00/day parking 8.00/day so this may be of value to you. The spa and pools well maintained, and plentifull towel service. Much appreciated to have as many clean towels for pool and beach and not have to dry them on the balcony as so many other hotels have you do.

There are only a few stove equiped rooms so be sure to ask in advance. Otherwise you only get a microwave. Go next door to the Grand Plaza Hotel revolving restaurant for a sunset meal. Bring sunglasses, cause the mirrored walls will reflect the panorama and sun too.

Every Dreamers Paradise

I was attending my older brother's wedding. It was truely a dream to me, one I never wanted to leave. The restuants were in convinent locations and the staff was very helpful and nice. They had nice, genuine smiles. I enjoyed walking on the beach during the day and in the evening hours. It was so far the best trip I've had. It was Beautiful!

Great Resort

The service at this resort was absolutely excellent - everyone smiling and willing to do whatever it took to make our stay enjoyable. Great restaurants on site including two beach bars that did not play loud music long into the night. It was very pleasant. My only complaint was that the cleaning staff did not show up until very late in the afternoon (4:00 pm) and one day not at all. Also, although the beds and linens were excellent, the pillows need upgrading - they were like cardboard making it hard to sleep.

Sirita Beach :(

The beach is great- although chairs closer to the water would be helpful! The hotel needs renovated. The managment tried to make it better - but not the kind of vacation lodging I enjoy. My college aged daughter with her friends would have thought it was great --maybe..... Too many broken items - lamps, flooring, elevators had issues- faucets.... phones.

stay at sirata

Hotel is on the low end of the resorts in the St. Pete Beach area. Bed was uncomfortable, air conditioner made popping noises all night on the first night, although is was fixed after that. Staff not very helpful what few of them there were. Whirlpool almost cold. Entertainers not very talented. Old tv with poor reception.

VERY PLEASANT

Just getting back from my Florida trip, i must say i was impressed with the resort.The location was fantastic!! The staff was very friendly and was totally please that they let us have the late check out because our plane didn't leave until later that day. The beach was beautiful!! The only thing that seemed to be irritating was the parking. It was very hard to find a place to park if you went out somewhere and came back. Also, i thought the pool bars should stay open later. Ten o'clock just is to early to close. Also, thought that the food was over priced. The bathrooms were alittle small.Will definitely go back.

Had the nicest holiday.

The beach was fantastic. All amenities were close to our room. We thought we were getting a room with balcony right on the beach. We did. They forgot the minor detail that there was a sand dune, also, right in front of our room. We could not see the gulf from our room. Met many families that have been back for seven, eleven yrs. The bathrooms are VERY small.
