Great place to stay! Enjoyed our getaway only complaint was that when live music was playing other music (by the pool) was still on

We had a great time at the hotel. Beach, staff and room was great. What could be improved or changed: Pool size is too small. (Sign says I think 17 people!) for a hotel this size should be much bigger. The cabana and umbrella system to sit at the beach is ridiculous! They open at 8am, people standing in line since 7am, waiting for the staff to set up the cabanas and take you to the one you choose. They need to figure out another way but for a resort , that’s is not ok. But we had fun, staff were super polite, room was new, clean and well decorated. Bed was comfy too!

Great vibe. Nice people. Friendly staff. Perfect vacation spot!

Bedroom was clean, beds confortable, fridge had nasty smell of rotten milk, a/c unit was extremely loud and hallways looks run down and have a musky smell. Location was great and beach very close, pool is very small.

We had a beautiful ocean view, with a clean environment. The pillows could use replacement, 😌. Spinners rofftop restaurant was pricey, and the food could have been better. Restaurant in the area, however were delicous.

I liked that it was right on the beach and the hotel supplied the cabana's and chairs daily. I also liked the happy hours at the roof top bar that overlooked St. Pete's beach.

Nice beach with great sunshine. Older property but kept up.

Lovely

Great place excellent beach

Place needs painting cleaning locks repaired on door to balcony. AC too noisy

Lobby area was cute and inviting, even had some games to play while waiting. Bar and restaurant area was simply beautiful, especially at sunset. Pool is simple and easily accessible. Plenty of beach chairs available with space to lounge.

Hight quakity, amszing staff and amazing room!

We have stayed at this property for many years owned by lots of different companies. It is a beautiful spot right in St. Pete Beach. Staff were very friendly and the gentleman on the front desk is so happy and welcoming. Our only complaint if any was our dinner at Spinners was so very noisy that our dinner with friends was a bit difficult until the restaurant emptied a little. Food was delicious. We really enjoyed our stay and I am sure it will not be the last.

Older property, but the room and bathroom were nice and fresh.

Clean. Beautiful beach

I had a wonderful stay at Bellwether. I honestly cannot think of one bad thing. The staff is friendly and welcoming and the location is ideal. It’s right on the beach and in the center of restaurant central. The room was clean, spacious and the tv had a great selection of channels for down time. I will only come and stay at this resort for my visits to St. Pete Beach. Five stars.

Beautiful beach, and the view was incredible. The was one issue, frequently the entry to the hotel smelled like an open sewer.
