We stayed for 4 nights at this Property. Staff our Amazing. Every member we encountered were fabulous. The front desk was very helpful. The Hotel is a little outdated and we were told a renovation is in the works. Rooms need new carpets and updating, but the views were amazing. The balcony's are very small with a small table and 2 chairs, so difficult to really enjoy. The pool area is great except the towels. Towels were worn and very, very thin. Maybe with the update, nice towels will be purchased for the Hotel. Pool service was excellent. We would rate this hotel a 4 out of 5, just due to updates needed. Hopefully by next year, the renovations will take place and we would stay here again. Read less

We travel quite a bit, this by far is an exceptional hotel, and run like a well oiled machine. Kudos to all, especially the valets. Oh, and Mikel Lopes, concierge, couldn’t be nicer. Truly all staff we came in contact with was exceptional. And a side note, Tampa airport is so easy to get in and out of compared to others. Read less

Valet and Front desk staff were awesome always greeted us with a smile and were very helpful Rick and Ricardo in the main bar were outstanding kept us entertained and hydrated our entire stay. Pool Bar staff (Brendan, Kimi and especially Jacob) were the best! Wouldn’t have been the same stay without them. Hotel is well located on the bay with beautiful views, 2 minute walk across the street to a beautiful beach. Clearwater Beach proper is easily accessible via free trolley or a very reasonable Uber/Lyft ride Highly recommend folks give this Marriott a try when visiting Clearwater Read less

I haven't opened TripAdvisor in probably a year, but I had too leave some great feedback. Lets start with the actual property itself. Conveniently located ample parking to the north of the resort makes it easy to rent a car and still have somewhere secured to park it. I speculate the building was likely built in the early-mid 80s, however inside you would never know. The building is in GREAT shape. Rooms & Public areas have been renovated and it feels fresh and modern. Not once, did I noticed clutter or waste anywhere, this place is so clean. The pool and outdoor public areas are pristine and well appointed with plenty of seating and areas to lounge and relax with beautiful views. The staff at this hotel made us feel so special, like we were the only ones in the Resort. Wilmer & Neil (Valet) made sure to greet us by name often, asked us what we had planned and even went out of their way to offer recommendations for local dining and attractions. They kept us hydrated and gave us ice cold waters on the hot days. Julia (Food & Beverage) was so sweet and personable, she told us about where she lived and worked before and told us to visit Honeymoon Island. It was so nice to connect on a personal level with her and her kindness truly shows. Renee (Front Desk, night audit) had checked us in LATE at night and she was so welcoming and warm and made sure we were taken care of. She even put us on a high floor with great views. Dante (Front Office Manager) was very approachable and polite. As a former front office manager myself, I know it can be a very difficult job. He is clearly doing a GREAT JOB. His team is empowered to do what it takes to make things right and that takes a lot of work. Overall, our stay was fantastic. This resort is so beautiful and in a great location. Will be retuning & recommending this property to anyone visiting the area. Read less
