Top Boca Ciega Bay Aquatic Preserve Hotel Reviews

RumFish Beach at TradeWinds

10/10 Excellent

"Very nice place to stay. Love the amenities and restaurant choices."

Sirata St. Pete Beach Resort, Tapestry Collection by Hilton

10/10 Excellent

"Great location, nice room. Property was clean and seemed well-maintained. Fitness room was well equipped, beach furniture rental easy. Only drawbacks were that bathroom was laughably small and loud music from pool made it hard to enjoy the sound of waves from our balcony."

The Beachcomber

8/10 Good

"Just loved the location, the rooms, the pools, the nightly music, the restaurant and bars. Beach was clean and the sand was so white and soft. The beach attendant was very good, very helpful. The grounds were under construction however so the grounds were very torn apart. I'd like to return when this project is completed."

Bay Palms Waterfront Resort - Hotel and Marina

10/10 Excellent

"We travel with our dog and this hotel allows pets. The hotel was clean and the staff was very helpful. We would stay there again."

Island Grand at TradeWinds

10/10 Excellent

"This is our 2nd time staying at this resort and we absolutely love it. The rooms are a little dated, but not a big deal to us. Love the pools, location, restaurants and bars - we will be back again!"

The Beach Haven Resort

10/10 Excellent

"Their guest services reached out to me before I arrived to find out what time I would be getting there. They let me know their office hours are only until 4:30PM. They provided instructions/helpful info for the stay which needs to be updated. I had to ask for help to lock the door because the instructions on the sheet gave instructions that did not work. The sheet/comforter set was not where the instruction sheet said it would be located. We reached out to ask and never got a response. I guess because it was after 4:30PM. We ended up going to Walmart and buying sheets/comforter for ourselves or we would never have had anything to sleep with. I never got a response back about the sheets/comforter from guest services. The place was clean, beach access was close and the pool was nice. Wish they had better guest service/guest service hours."

Gulf Strand Resort

10/10 Excellent

"Our partial ocean view room felt almost like a full ocean view. The property was quiet and comfortable. The beach access was top notch! Lots of great restaurants within walking distance. We will definitely stay there again."

Beach House Suites by the Don CeSar
