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

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 ...
