Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
Learn more about our review moderation.

Mariah was fantastic! She has a great sense of humor, and greeted us every time we saw her passing by. Also, she went out of her way to help us with everything needed. Tiffany at the front desk provided us with great service! She even helped us recover our beach towels after a very long day. Mel gave us great service on the beach! She has a great personality and enhanced our experience on the beach. It was an unforgettable trip!

Hotel's Favourite
What a great experience this hotel was. Every staff member was just so nice and accommodating. Big shout out to Raphael in the front desk. He always asked us if everything was OK anytime we passed by the lobby. He even gave us a nice tour at check in. Rooms were clean and food at the restaurant was delicious. We went to relax and that's exactly what this hotel provided. Thank you!

Kyle in housekeeping was exceptional. We had a child get sick and he came right in to assist w cleanup. He deserves bonus points for that. We requested extra blankets and toothbrushes as well. Mariah was extremely helpful on the phone before checkin and Calvin was great at check in. Location is perfect

The entire staff in the hotel inside and outside cabana and beach area were all so incredibly nice and could not do enough for you. Especially Brian inside and Mark on the beach. If you had a problem, they were right on it. First time in Clearwater and did not disappoint. Glad we stayed down that lower end due to spring break crowds. So much better

Gorgeous beach, nice restaurant/bar! Mel on the beach was super helpful reserving beach chairs and setting me up :) I was here for two days for a family event, and this was a great spot to relax and also get some work done. Convenient, easy, and centrally located.

the hotel is fine but the staff is cranky. We had to extend our stay by one night due to a family emergency and wound up switching to the hotel next door because the woman at the front desk was rude and, with a beach full of empty hotel rooms, there was no need to support that.

Mark (Terry) was an excellent cabana boy. He was the most friendliest out of all the staff. Made our stay even better and enjoyable. Because of him we would come again. Give this man a raise! The room was clean, no bugs. Excellent shampoo and conditioner, although we didn’t know if there was going to be any because it wasn’t listed on the website. Very great location as well. We were able to walk everywhere and didn’t need a car. If you are thinking about not getting a car… don’t get one. You won’t need it! Great beach area… very clean and enjoyable.

Beach staff, specifically, Mark, was very attentive and helpful with our family. Beach umbrellas and chairs are clean and set up nicely. Beach is clean and very family friendly. The area is quiet and away from the loud parties which are a little north of this location.
