Hotel Alba, Tapestry Collection by Hilton

10/10 Excellent

"The room was great the pool awesome and the drinks at the bar amazing, the staff really professional and the refund for the deposit was same day compared to other hotels they take 3 to 5 business day.

Island Grand at TradeWinds

10/10 Excellent

"We had a wonderful stay at TradeWinds Resort in St. Pete Beach! The location is perfect, with direct access to a beautiful beach and plenty of restaurants and attractions nearby. The resort has so many great amenities that kept everyone entertained, and everything was very well maintained. The cleanliness throughout the property and in our room was excellent, and the staff was friendly and welcoming. Overall, we had a fantastic experience and truly enjoyed our stay. We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a fun and relaxing beach vacation!"

The Westin Tampa Bay

10/10 Excellent

"We stayed at the Westin for five days four nights. What an incredible stay. Walking into our room the first day took my breath away. The beautiful ocean views, and the immaculate room. We no lie, saw dolphins swimming from our bed! The staff at the front desk, the bar, the restaurant and the valet have all been five star! They’ve been amazing, and accommodating. Given us wonderful direction for how to spend our trip and the food here is fantastic. We’re also located within walking distance of Bahama Breeze and Whiskey Joes, both which have fantastic food, beautiful water views, and delicious food, fun bars, and great service. The hotel gave us two free hours of E-bike rides, which we took advantage of and road over the ocean bridge where we again saw dolphins! The hotel is very close to the airport and the freeway, but noise has not been a problem. My husband and I came just the two of us, but we’ll be back with our kids, the pool is clean and beautiful and opens up to a small private beach, which was perfect for sunbathing. Staff accommodated a late check out and have been just wonderful to stay with. WE WILL BE BACK AND I HIGHLY RECOMMEND! Thank you for helping make this vacation so special"
