Top Fort De Soto Park Hotel Reviews

Sirata St. Pete Beach Resort, Tapestry Collection by Hilton

10/10 Excellent

"."

Beach House Suites by the Don CeSar

10/10 Excellent

"Everything was wonderful, from beginning to end. The accommodations were great, the view from our Grand King Suite was incredible. It was our first time staying at Beach House Suites at the Don Cesar, but it will definitely not be our last."

The Don CeSar

10/10 Excellent

"The Hotel is 98 years old and is still in remarkable condition. The rooms are a little dated, but still outstanding. The parking is good. The beach is outstanding and there is a lot of space so your really not on top of each other. The restaurants are amazing and not overcrowded at all. The only downside we encountered were the windows in the rooms don't open at all and there was no exhaust fan in the bathroom."

Island Grand at TradeWinds

8/10 Good

"Was bummed at the resort fees in addition to have to pay to park after pay high nightly rates and resort fees. The resort is clean but showing its age. The door to our room had to be slammed shut and then was hard to open due to it sticking in the door frame. Same for our neighbors as we could hear their doors slam every time they closed them. Rooms need more outlets as most are already taken for lamps and appliances. It's hard for a family to charge their phones on the one available outlet in the room."

The Hotel Zamora

10/10 Excellent

"We picked Hotel Zamora for our 50th Wedding Anniversary celebration. It was an incredibly beautiful hotel inside and out. The room was so comfortable and quiet. It was beautifully decorated with a modern Florida theme.The restaurant Azura was top notch and every meal was outstanding!Can’t say enough about the waiters and chef. The prices were very reasonable also.The pool and hot tub area was such a fun experience with a bar and large screen for watching games. Whenever we wanted to go to the beach we were shuttled in a golf cart and picked up again whenever we were ready to return.The staff were the best we’ve ever experienced and we have traveled a lot. They were so personable, friendly and helpful. We highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a great place to vacation!"

"Clean staff location"

Plaza Beach Hotel Beachfront Resort

10/10 Excellent

"The staff was so helpful and friendly. The room was clean. This is a great area. I’d love to go back and stay here again. There is sand volleyball. A small area for kids in the sand to play. A nice outpost pool. Plenty of things for the kids (or adults) to do on site. We were able to walk to come restaurants and stores. It is close to a lot. Their area of the beach is sectioned off so only occupants can use it and it isn’t crowded. There are also chairs and umbrellas to rent. Such a great place!"

Berkeley Beach Club
