• Lots of activities.
• Two roaches in one room switched rooms to find a wasp in the am in our new room. Need to spray for bugs!

“Hotel was impressive when we first arrived and went downhill quickly as our evening began, thank God we were only there one night. As soon as lights were turned off huge roach crawls in bed. and as we're getting ready to switch rooms another big roach climbs the curtains. We switch rooms and we slept with lights on so roaches would not come out. In all honesty I wanted to switch hotels all together. It was a major inconvenience! Had to switch rooms close to midnight with sick toddler in the midst of all this. My 7 year old daughter ran to me in the morning to wake me up to tell me about a wasp that was flying in the suite side were our toddler was sleeping. Nightmare of a stay! I would never recommend. Need to spray for bugs in rooms!”

• Room was very nice.
• $25.00 a day resort fee was ridiculous.

“Very nice hotel right on beach, resort fee should be optional.”

• Average hotel.
• Charging extra for Internet, parking, swimming pool. Hidden fees. It is not a 4 stars hotel as advertised.

“The hotel was OK, but it is not a 4 stars hotel as advertised. It may be a 3.5 stars. They charge extra for Internet, swimming pool, parking.. There are hidden fees that you find out only at check in.”

• They sent us to their worst rooms they had. This building was for guests with pets.

“They have special rooms for guests. Worst rooms ever. Rooms in this building are normally for guests traveling with pets. And you could smell it.”

• The location was outstanding.
• Didn't give us a king size room when they said we had one.

“We loved the kitchenette and the location of the hotel.”

• Activities were plentiful for all ages.
• Check in and Valet areas were crowded and traffic backed up often.

“Great place to take children and pets. The beach and pool areas were great with plenty of lounge chairs and Cabanas. A separate adult pool was a nice touch.”

• Family friendly.
• Fees for everything. Would be nice if it was just a lump sum or package deal for activities offered at resort.

“Very family friendly. Great hospitality. Great vacation spot! Pirate Show is awesome!”

• Perfect rooms and great location.

• Great location at the beach, interesting layout for just strolling about.
• Elevators were very slow, very hot, and too few to handle volume of guests.

“A very nice place for a family or just a couple. Nice rooms, conveniently laid out. Very friendly and responsive staff. The grounds are pleasant and interesting. It is important to note that there is a $25 additional fee added for amenities - it is money well spent especially if you have a vehicle and would have to pay for parking otherwise, but the extra expense is not pleasant as a surprise.”

• Location and variety of amenities and activities
• Restaurants and bars were open fewer hours than we liked

“Perfect vacation spot on the Gulf Coast. There is something for every member if the family. The staff is so friendly and accomodating. We will be going back and hopefully staying longer in the future.”

• Very friendly staff, Delicious food and good preparations at wedding on site.
• Had to pay additional $25/day for parking and amenities.

“Room was OK but refrigerator could not be adjusted properly and food was frozen at one time (peaches, milk). Bowls for cereal too small - had to buy some. Room small - had to move bed to open refrigerator to adjust shelf. Some doors in our building had exit sign but could not be opened as they had a metal barrier apparently to keep water out. Safety/fire violation? Food great, beach nice, pools clean. We were on 2nd floor and that floor had a very nice area with tables and chairs. I tend to wake up earlier than my husband so it allowed me to go outside and read. Perfect! Would have liked more palm trees at beach instead of hooded fabric covers. Location was very safe and good to major highways. Would recommend.”

• Beach tiki bar.
• Nickle and dime you to death.

“Additional guest fee of $25. They charged at check-in, if I had known that I would have offered less. $15 of it went for parking. We arrived at 5:15 pm and room wasn't ready as promised by 4pm. Next day we asked for late checkout and was told it was $20.00/hr. Kind of a Jip.”

• Dirty, bad smells in room & grounds, no air-conditioning in slow elevators.

“Water with the paddle boat rental was full of blue dye and looked like a tidy bowl commercial...smelled of sewage. Dirty, smelly, dark, dingy rooms. Dirty & stained walkways, carpets throughout complex. Outside showers broken so everybody was climbing into the pools with sand all over them. Pools were 90+ degrees and smelled of chlorine. Chairs around pools & beach were soiled/stained. Very disappointing stay!”

• The big 3 story slide.
• Nothing I can think of.

“Fantastic place to visit. The beach is beautiful and the staff was very friendly beginning when you enter and speak to security guard. Staff makes you want to come back and the atmosphere was awesome.”

• Great beach.
• Poor service, unexpected daily fee of $25 per room.

“I checked in with 3 rooms. One room smelled so bad that it we had to complain, another room smelled heavily of cleaning material, the third was fine. After complaining they offered an upgrade room. The elevators were extremely slow with lines almost every time. One of my daughters got stuck on an elevator for 15 minutes with a full load of people with no AC in the elevators. We waited 90 min for breakfast one morning in the main breakfast room. Only after complaining did the food come out and the order was not correct for one individual who was diabetic. The hotel was crowded and very understaffed in all restaurants we dined. The food was average, not bad but noting to remember. The outside slide which appeared to be a big deal to the hotel costs $4 per ride or $30 for a daily pass. Overall this experience was one I would prefer to forget and definitely not repeat. I did not go into the hotels in the immediate area but I would say from the outside they did not appear to be as nice which is a bit scary because this hotel appears to be quite old. If you want luxury don't select this area of ST. Pete Beach.”

• The Gulf, pool and bars were excellent. Our stay was very relaxing.
• How the hotel was broken up, hard to get around at times.

“Hotel was great, service was excellent and the people giving the service did a great job making our stay very relaxing.”

• Location, courteous staff, property layout.

“My husband and I took a 4 day honeymoon here. It was lovely and romantic, but was also a wonderful place for young children and families. The service was great, and the whole atmosphere was very relaxing. The nearby restaurants were great. The valet staff was especially pleasant.”

• Decor.
• High per room resort fee.

“Learning upon arrival that there is $28 per room charge resort fee was upsetting. Also, for a hotel to charge extra for services such as parking and use of beach chairs is unconscionable.”

• Location was great, landscaping very nice.
• Room very small, pool area very crowded with drinking crowd.

“Thought this hotel would be a great place close to home for a romantic birthday get away. Not so. While I did not expect a luxurious room for the price I bid, I did think perhaps the front desk might offer an upgrade since occupancy was so low. This has been our experience at other resorts we have booked on line. Instead the desk clerk performed her duties like a robot & we were promptly directed to our room.
Bermuda restaurant hardly busy at 6 pm on Sunday evening. Portions were large, but the quality of the food was not worth the price.”

• It was on the beach.
• It was like being on a cruise ship that was on land. People everywhere and it was dirty. The pools, the public restrooms were nasty.

“You could not get in the pool because of the large groups of people already there. Many thing were in poor condition around the complex though you saw a lot of workers around. The room was the smallest room I have ever been in So small you could not move around with our bumping into something or someone.The carpet in the room was torned. The bathroom had burnt marks on the walls. The is no 4 star hotel.”
