Wyndham Grand Clearwater Beach
We absolutely loved the Wyndham Grand it was So clean and beautiful. Loved the proximity to the beach, and we also loved the pool. We were a little sad that we were on our honeymoon and nothing special was done for us, but other than that a really great resort

RumFish Beach at TradeWinds
Staff was exceptional. Great stay. Only problem were the buttons on the elevator that kept sticking and not lighting up for your floor.

Hilton Clearwater Beach Resort & Spa
Had to switch rooms right when I got there because the room was not cleaned, and there was blood on the door in the bathroom. The cleanliness of the property was low, pretty much all the rooms beed to be updated. The pool and ocean service and area were great though!

Ramada by Wyndham Tampa Westshore Airport South
I will never stay there again, not what I expected and staff was rude and would not let my boyfriend talk. When we were talking about the shuttle situation. They just kept interrupting him at the front desk.

SkyBeach Resort
Lovely resort! Nice pools and lots of activities- pickleball, volleyball, kayaks and SUPs. Sky Bar is cute and lively. Luma has fabulous food - a bit pricey but worth it. Beach is on the bay so no beach walking. Great location - close to St Pete Beach and downtown St. Petersburg.We’d love to come ...
