Cannot say enough wonderful things about this place, the staff, the rooms the pool and the views are top notch. We were made to feel as though we were most welcome and also met lots of wonderful people by the pool. The design of the hotel is really well thought out, because it’s possible to view the sunrise from the back area of your room but yet during some months, you can also enjoy the sunsetting on the Gulf side. Have never been in a hotel where you could do that and we loved every moment of our stay. There are lots of places to eat, shop , and to acquire sundry items as well as a wonderful little café in the hotel for early morning coffees. The beach was accessible via a quick jaunt! Our only minor concern was that the hide a bed was not comfortable, especially for for our teen son. We asked for a mattress pad and the cleaning person did not seem to have any so we opted for our son to sleep on one double bed and we took the second double bed, a bit crowded but in the end, it was all okay. We can’t wait to get back!! Do you rent by the mth? ;-) Read less

Hotel location was nice, not quite “resort luxurious” but perfectly acceptable for a day or two by the pool and the bay. I booked a suite with a view and a balcony. Even checked in online using the Marriott app before I arrived. I’m a frequent business traveler with Bonvoy status so I’ve got that down. Was really looking forward to my balcony over the bay that I had checked into. However when I arrived at 8pm I was assigned a “Value Suite”. Didn’t even know that was an option there. This is room on the 2nd floor with a tiny window facing the bay and the front door overlooking the main lobby. No balcony. Noisy, as you right above the restaurant and gathering areas. Next to the elevator. Looks like an afterthought and rooms were added in an unused space. If I stood on the bed I could see the bay. Same price as I would have paid for a regular balcony view suite. The air conditioner is tied to sliding glass doors it turns off when it’s open, but because it has no sliding glass door it just ran non stop despite physically turning it off. Whatever you do, do not accept a Value Suite!!!! Self parking was easy on a lot next to the hotel for $25/night. I enjoyed the cocktails and limited food choices at the poolside bar. Breakfast buffet was decent at $22. Had issues getting the internet to work on my business laptop, but personal devices worked fine. I made my lemonade from the lemons by going down the stairs just outside my room to the bayside bar. Read less

We spent a week here recently with our two kids under 7. The staff here are incredible and went out of their way to make our stay enjoyable. The hotel is perfectly situated with each room having an amazing view of the bay where we saw dolphins, manatees, pelicans and many jumping fish from our balcony. Sand Key beach is a 15 minute walk (or 2 minute shuttle ride) and is much more pleasant than Clearwater Beach. We had a rental car and were glad we did, it allowed us to check out Indian Rocks Beach and other eating options down the coast. The rooms are well set up for families, and we did not notice any noise from neighbours like other reviews. Lastly the resident Macaw 'Lisa' was such a hit with our kids, they are still talking about her a few days after being home. Read less

Paper-thin walls allow you to hear the conversations next door as if they were in your room. I would recommend using a noisemaker in order to sleep. Platinum members do not get automatic upgrades here. We booked our stay about an hour before arrival when there were many rooms available, but no upgrade given.

Paper-thin walls allow you to hear the conversations next door as if they were in your room. I would recommend using a noisemaker in order to sleep. Platinum members do not get automatic upgrades here. We booked our stay about an hour before arrival when there were many rooms available, but no upgrade given. The advertised beach view is technically true, but a little misleading. The hotel is set up like a motel with an open walkway behind your room. There is a window and glass door that you could keep open to see the beach between the hotel and condos on the other side of the road if you don’t mind everyone walking down the walkway seeing in your room. The continental breakfast had a few additions to the typical lower-end Bonvoy hotel breakfast, and the coffee was much better. There was an option for hot breakfast with some mad to order options which I did not try. The pool was beautiful, and felt very resort like with the pool side bar. There is an option for a trolley to take you into Clearwater, and it is free with your hotel key card. There is a small boardwalk with restaurants just off the hotel property. Parking is nearly $19. The staff were professional. Read less
