The family atmosphere vibe was on point. The Malibu is close to all of it, has an excellent restaurant attached with the new owner, Arthur, being very personable... We frequent this area from Central Florida and will be back again... Good Job Malibu!!

The staff was amazing and nice. The property looks prettier in pictures. The rooms were really run down, did not have iron and ironing board, had to request and they have limited office hours, so glad we caught that early enough. The kitchenette did not have a working stove top and we had plans to make dinner, bought food and couldn’t cook. Had to wait till the next day to get a h plug in hot plate which ruined our plans and cooked the next day to keep food from being wasted as it was fresh fish. The restaurant that is attached was nice and had good food and drinks but for the cost, we could have stayed at a nicer hotel without the kitchenette for the same price..

10/10 can't say enough good things about this cute little place. We live about and hour away and just wanted to get away for the night. Never been to Maderia beach so we decided to go and found this gem. Ms Debbie was so so welcoming as soon as we got there. Rooms are very clean we had everything we needed. The pool area was so nice and had everything you needed as well. There's a restaurant bar located right at the front of the hotel and they have great drinks and food. Access to the beach was right across the street that takes about one minute to walk onto the beach.We have officially found our new little spot and will be booking again in the near future we can't wait to go back and take our kids and our family.

Great staff and location. Very family friendly. A classic Florida motel embracing its identity wholy and wonderfully. Just steps from the beach it was easy for me and my two children to relax and have fun. When the pool or beach no longer entertained the youngest (5yr) there was plenty to do nearby and when the oldest (10yr) inevitably got hungry there were plenty of options.

This was our second visit here in two months. We love the location, easy check-in and check-out. Pool area is wonderful and you are one block away from the beach.
Added bonus on this trip was the pizza restaurant that recently opened on the property. Very good food and live entertainment every night we were there which we thoroughly enjoyed.
Our room was clean and comfortable the kitchenette that was very useful. The rooms are dated, but are in good repair, and clean. Staff was very accommodating, took care of all of our requests quickly.

The public trolley system that comes right by the hotel is a great way to get around. Very easy way to get to John’s Pass, St. Pete or Clearwater. No rental car needed.

We thoroughly enjoyed our vacation and we will return to the location

This was our first family trip to Florida and we didn’t really know what to expect going into it. We chose this place for the small feel we got from the pictures. It’s a motel that they have practically turned into an oasis.

For breakfast there was good coffee and every flavor of creamer the store had available. Several days there were Dunkin’ Doughnuts placed out for the guests as well.

We had a minor issue with our room that was fixed almost immediately and then checked up on several times throughout our week long stay. This is really the only thing I can think of that went wrong.

The best part of our stay had to be the host of the place, Debbie. She was the nicest and most accommodating host/front desk manager/does it all person that we met the entire time. Her conversations with all of the guests around the pool and common areas made the place feel like a small community. She always had a smile and was willing to go out of her way the second anyone needed anything.

I would happily stay here for our next trip to Florida. We were just looking for a room and found a true gem in both the accommodations and our host.

We found the Malibu's beachy vintage vibes to be very welcoming. Rooms have been updated with new furniture, flooring, bedding, and have a great feel to them. Bathroom was original and clean.There was music by the clean, heated pool. Staff accommodated our daily fresh towels and were friendly. No daily housekeeping which we liked. Across the street from the beach. Lots of amenities near by. A sweet spot🌴☀️🦩

The pros of this location are: the proximity to the beach, swimming pool, nicely decorated, free parking and friendly staff.

However, the rooms need major improvements. The walls are very thin and you can hear everything from the rooms next door and upstairs! Also from the corridors. So basically you get no privacy. Also there's alot of light that comes from the back window.

The only negative to note, is that the doors are very old, and do not seal. You can hear every person walking/talking outside of your room very easily. But, would stay there again.

Although not a \"resort \" this place is very quaint and quiet. The property is very cool with a pool (heated.believe) lots of lounge chairs and super friendly people. There is a beach access point right across the street and traffic is mostly light. Parking is free and although i have a large truck i was able to park easily. There are lots of local birds every morning (very cool) and hot coffee every morning around 630ish in the office. Our room was comfortable and most importantly clean. This really is a cool motel and reminds me of growing up in Key West with all of the more eclectic hotels. I personally love the place.

This an older hotel that needs updated, but for the price it was nice. You have to ask for housekeeping. I paid extra for a cooktop and after searching the cabinets, I found a hotplate! I was hit with an extra charge upon checking in. Not sure what it was for. I was under the impression that everything was included in the Hotels.com price. There is no hotel management on site, it was all done by txt messaging.

I believe this our 4th visit to the Malibu Beach Resort. It’s a terrific vintage motel (2 stories, L shaped, with a pool in the courtyard). Rooms are clean and basic, but have all that you need for a beach vacation. We stayed in a newly renovated apartment and it was awesome. The location is perfect, across the street from the beach. And within walking distance to restaurants and bars. The service is amazing. They help with everything, and have coffee for you in the AM. Deb and her team are great! Highly recommend!

It was just okay

The stay was fine, I did have issues with how I had to make the reservation. I couldn't just call the hotel and make the reservation, I had to go through Hotel.com which charges me for that. Then I was charged for however many days I stayed, plus fees, and extras. Which made the stay way more expensive than I originally thought it was going to cost. I don't think anything was explained when I was just trying to find a place to sleep. I wasn't there to hang out, just sleep. I was told I would be able to get coffee in the office every day, which was not true. It was open the first 2 days, but was not open after that at all. No one to just ask questions or help elevate any issues. Had to ask for 2 wash clothes because they kept just leaving 1 and there were 2 people in the room. I wouldn't say that I would never stay there again, but I will look for somewhere else to stay the next time I go down. If there were just more communication, I think it would relieve some stress I was feeling during my stay. The pool area was nice.

Clean, helpful host, not quite on beach as advertised on hotels.com (and charged a resort fee) (it's across street), but good value for what we needed it for. There was also an additional service fee when we checked in that wasn't labeled on hotels.com (as all fees were meant to be included) but it wasn't much just good to know.
