This was our worst experience ever. Paid a lot for two night stay. Beware!! They hit you with all kinds of extra fees. They own 3 very small hotels on the same street but you have to walk down a mile to check in as the other two properties have no office or staff. Maintenance in all 3 properties is seriously lacking. From the plastic landscaping to the cracked tiles on stairs, tight parking, and just overall rundown. Very small and not all the amenities listed. You have to wear a wristband the whole time and if it rips they hassel you to get another. In addition, my parking pass fell down low in my car, they didn't see it and locked a wheel boot around my car!!! When I went in to remind them I'm a paying guest, if they had checked the records my license plate was on file. They text you all this cutesy stuff all day but NO ONE could call me to verify my car was allowed in the parking lot??? So they disabled a paying guests car, illegal I'm sure to touch my vehicle. When I went in to tell the owner to unboot my car he came outside yelling at us. He would not stop yelling about safety and bad people who come in off the street. Well then figure out another way to police that but locking my car was totally unacceptable. We do a lot of weekend beach trips and have never experienced anything like this. We took our belongings and left. How people are giving this place five star reviews I'll never understand.

They charge you to clean and service your room on a daily basis, unheard of. That’s usually included in your room fee. Hotels.com is not honest in how they present properties. I will never use a 3rd party again to book any thing.

The customer service and team is amazing, the amenities are such a great aspect of the stay, with a private beach, outdoor bar, wonderful pool area. The main lobby is a short walk from the actual room, about 1 block, as there are 3 properties under the same parent hotel. My experience was great, and I’m happy to have booked the stay, with a great highlight on the quality of customer service and cleanliness.

The staff was fine but it felt a little neglected. One evening both of our electronic room keys would not work. Had to call 5 times over 40 min. to get someone, and this was the late evening. Someone finally came over and the batteries were dead in ghe door lock. They replaced but the screws were stripped or misaligned and pulled 1/4 out from surface when ooening the door. They came agaon the next day and fixed that...took a while. The hair dryer in bathroom didn't work, had to but one at store. Very very small room (square). Bed was tiny and not very thick or soft. There was a gap in main door where rubber strip was rotted out. Lots of nicks and chips in bathroom walls. Hotel puc online doesn't match...a different hotel. The staff was nice but the room was way overpriced for what it was.

We love visiting this property! It's been a few years since we stayed, mostly due to Covid, and higher prices, but you didn't disappoint us! Still a beautiful and relaxing place to stay. We personally like the Bay Side rooms, with the large docks just outside your room. Being pet friendly was a plus for us, as well as the swimming pool and that view!! The beach is directly across the street, as are restaurants.l

Reception crew is one of the best I ever met. Thanks Tyrel, Anna, Tanner and Ray. Super fun, friendly, professional and efficient.

My family and I loved this place! We had a 2 BR condo and it was perfect. Literally 1 min to the beach, 3 min to the office. There are 3 diff resorts, the office being the main one, offered free beer/wine… big volleyball area games and more! Our resort had a heated pool and a place to fish off their dock. Full kitchen, minus a oven but there are grills to use and plenty of places to sit and relax. We even seen the manatees come in one afternoon! The staff was excellent, the front office gals… great!! We were set on going to Clearwater but, after reading so many great reviews, we went with Bay Palm! If we ever come back, we would def stay here again. Walgreens (walking) 2 min away, Chick-fil-A (walking) 4 min away. Grocery store, coffee, dollar tree all within 5 min walking! Overall, great place, a little older but I would take this place again and again!! My ONLY complaint, our bed was a little noisy so if you moved it squeaked! So if your a light sleeper, check first!! If that is my only complaint, that’s saying something!! I hope people take my review seriously cause we had a great stay! Also, the staff texts you daily to check in, that is awesome!!!

Should not be called “resort”

Right by a Main Street, very cheap soap. Old towels. Toilet not flushing , unable to regulate the shower temperature, the turning knob was loose, the fan from ac ran all night . Ac units on the roof , would vibrate the whole house. At $300 per night one expect different conditions.

We loved our stay! We are walking wanderers so this spot was very centralized and easy walk in either direction to any bar or restaurant, or just a short drive to anything 2 miles north or south. It was great to have access to the bigger pool at the plaza and beach access with our wristbands. It was a great room and perfect for us and we would definitely stay here again!

It was ok

I am rating the stay a 6. The stay was accommodating for my family as far as being just enough room for us. I did like that the kitchen was big enough to move around in. The living room area was big enough. The customer service was excellent. Everyone is very prompt responding. I like that there is private access to the beach but just keep in mind that you have to walk up and across the street. I did not like that as soon as you open the door you are greeted to a queen size bed with a very narrow path to walk in order to get to everything else. The bed should be where the living room is located. . The sheets were stained and had a ton of lint balls on them. The next morning we got new sheets and they were much better. The shower pressure wasn’t good and the shower area was very tight. The WiFi didn’t work it actually made my phone slow down when I signed into it. The cable channel line up is not accurate. Disney, Nickelodeon, and all the other channels did not work the TV displayed “no signal” only the news channels worked. I think the cable is disconnected and the channel list in the rooms need to be removed. Also the 1 bedroom with living room pictures on here are not the correct layout. There wasn’t a balcony to sit out on and the room was not spacious as the photos are advertising. Other than that it was an ok stay stay.

Pool not Operational

The biggest disappointment was the pool wasn’t operational. There was a sign up saying it had filled with salt water and it being a holiday weekend it would take a few days to fix. I’m assuming the letter was several weeks old as it was not a holiday weekend and the hurricane was several weeks ago. The pool in the sister hotel was always filled and having an on-site pool was one of the filters I used when picking a hotel. Otherwise beautiful area out back and got to see several Manatees during our stay. I’d check on the pool when booking otherwise recommend !

Misleading representation of services. Beware!!

Very dissapointed. Hotel reports pet friendly but not welcoming rather booked into alternate setting that was sub-par setting. Use of main hotel but no pets allowed therefore unable to participate. Resort fee charged for unusable pool? Complained and remaining stay refunded in full.

Waterfront Respite

It was a delightful respite and the room was everything I had hoped it would be - clean, comfortable, and trendy. The water views gave a tranquil atmosphere and I saw a manatee swim right by my room. The staff was very cheerful and helpful and the fact you can take advantage of the amenities of all 3 resorts is a big plus!

Unfortunately, this is a property for 2 ppl and not many more. We were planning to have 4 ppl stay and one of the pull out beds was broken and the couches were filthy. The main bedroom was descent, but we ended up checking out without staying. Definitely close to beach and has great walking distance for everything.

The hotel is Close to the beach. The pull out sofa was so worn out my son couldn’t sleep on it! They close the pools at sunset so around 7:45 at night which is way too early. The room was cleaned up but the floors were very dirty. You can tell they just sweep up and never mop them. The Parking lot is on the sidewalk and you have to back out into the main road which sometimes takes a while to get out and it’s sketchy. I wouldn’t recommend.

Good location but not a great stay.

I think this could be a decent place to stay for a family that just wants to be close to the beach and is willing to make concessions. My one-bedroom suite was clean and had newer furniture and amenities. Tiny kitchenette was decently appointed. However, being on the first floor, there were only two windows that really couldn’t be opened for safety reasons. One faced busy Gulf Boulevard and the other, the very narrow hallway. Plus, they are covered in a vinyl film for privacy, so the room was extremely dark. Queen mattress too soft and squeaky. Parking is on a single narrow strip in front of the building and 3 feet away from Gulf Boulevard. Extremely dangerous backing out and pulling in isn’t much better. Pets are allowed, but very limited green space. Tiny pool closes at sunset. Dock seating area is nice. Check in for this unit was across the street and three buildings down. It was arduous as I had added an extra day and everything had to be duplicated with the first reservation and second. Extra charges for resort fee and pets. Not an inexpensive stay, but again you’re paying for the location. Be vigilant about room choice.

The hotel is on an inlet (they have a dock) conveniently across from the beach. The room was small, but well appointed and newly renovated with original artwork.
After-hours check in was easy, and parting was right in front of the building. the owner was on-site that day and seems very engaged in the operation of the hotel. We are looking forward to staying again.

Clean and spacious rooms. A selection of pools. Free Happy Hour. Right off the beach. The kids loves the outdoor games.

One thing that isn’t clear is the pet fee which is $45 per night per dog. We only stayed one night and loved the place so it was worth it but I could see how this could add up.

Other than that we loved this place!

We had a great trip! It’s a little hidden gem place to stay. There is an outdoor grill/lounge area that gives families an amazing place to cook and hang out while kids swim. Wish the pool stayed open later than sunset as we boat and fish all day so it limits kids pool time. Walk down the street for live music and cheap great drinks with a fun atmosphere. It’s called the drunken clam. We WILL be returning:)
