Bilmar Beach Resort

Treasure Island, Tampa and Clearwater/St Pete

Virgin rating

The hotel

This seaside family-fun hotel has a prime beachfront location, you can take to the sand for a sunbathe, or the sea for some kayaking at ease. A little wander along the beachfront trail will take you to St John's Pass one way, or St Pete's Beach the other (you can also get the free island hopper if it's a bit too hot for walking) so you've got restaurants, bars and shopping in either direction. Back at the hotel the sundeck is a great place to catch the rays and enjoy some family games together. And Wave Zone will keep the kids happy, with more games and a pool table, whilst you grab a drink or a snack at the cafe. When the sun is setting, head to Sloppy Joes for happy hour out on the deck, and no doubt you'll be tempted to stay for dinner with the aroma of fresh seafood around.

We stayed in Treasure Island FL at the Fusion Resort. We had a two bedroom/2 bath condo like room with a balcony over the inlet waterway. The pool/hot tub area was great. They have a service to take you to the beach via golf cart too. Treasure Island and all the adjoining beach communities are getting just horrible. You can not go anywhere… Read more
We stayed in Treasure Island FL at the Fusion Resort. We had a two bedroom/2 bath condo like room with a balcony over the inlet waterway. The pool/hot tub area was great. They have a service to take you to the beach via golf cart too. Treasure Island and all the adjoining beach communities are getting just horrible. You can not go anywhere with out spending a small fortune to park. Passa Grille was the worst at $6.00 an hour. If you aren't in walking distance of the beach it will cost at least $2.00 an hour to park there, if you are lucky and can find a space. The cost of food is very high so if you go make sure you have a kitchen. The Pinellas Beaches are in a race to eliminate everything that made them "laid back Florida" and build a Miami Beach like skyline. We won't be going back any time soon. Read less

A huge disappointment to be honest. Our "Premium Beachfront Studio" was looking at the beach but had a grotty plastic roof right below us that housed some of the awful "entertainment" of the horrible bar area. We asked for a different room, which was eventually allocated to us a few rooms down and a floor up. Not the best of starts. Everything… Read more
A huge disappointment to be honest. Our "Premium Beachfront Studio" was looking at the beach but had a grotty plastic roof right below us that housed some of the awful "entertainment" of the horrible bar area. We asked for a different room, which was eventually allocated to us a few rooms down and a floor up. Not the best of starts. Everything was pretty uninspiring and getting charged to park your car on top of the room charges was a bit of a kick in the teeth too. We had 5 days there and frankly couldn't wait to leave and get the flight back home. Avoid as there are better hotels and better resorts in other parts of the Gulf Coast that aren't too far away.

Great resort. Has a lot of amenities. We love the fact that they have beach chairs and games for the kids. The staff is very friendly. Sloppy joes and waves have great food. The housekeeping staff does everything to make your stay better.

My review is for the family photo session. The photographer did a great job working quickly with our restless toddlers and it was so hard to choose our favorites because they were all so good. Highly recommend!
