We LOVED this resort, so we think it comes down to what you prefer and what you are expecting. This resort is charming. Yes, a little older, so if you are looking for fancy and modern, this is not it. We loved the decor, which seems like it has been updated at some point, very colorful and a bit latin in feel, but also a bit nostaligic-retro-ish, maybe like 60's without seeming that old. Since we love visiting places like Cocoa Beach with that throwback feel, this was a plus for us. We originally booked a standard room with a discount booking agent, but when we arrived we had saved more money and splurged for a balcony on the poolside--and we will do that again for SURE. In fact, this is our new favorite place to visit. We came the week after students went back to school, so the beach was not hugely populated, and we had a lovely, mostly quiet stay. We were looking for escape and rest by the ocean for the first time since the pandemic, so all we needed was clean, affordable, not gross, next to the ocean, able to feel the breezes, and that is what we got! Note: They do not clean the rooms every day, but every few days, but they will replace any items you need upon request. We appreciated the eco-friendly aspect of this! Plusses: -Affordable -walking distance to shopping center and various restaurants and bars -check out the freebee e-cart taxi that will pick you up next to hotel and take you nearly anwhere in St. Pete! -bus stop/trolley stops next to or across from hotel -we encountered a margarita special in the restaurant the first day that seems to happen often -Kitchenette with microwave and refridgerator -Beach literally right outside. (Non-canopied lounge chairs are free, but chairs with covers will have a charge) -Beautiful landscaping Potential downsides- -Not fancy or modern -no breakfast provided, though there is a restaurant on property as well as a pool bar that serves food, too -Not totally sure of the restaurant hours? They often looked closed. We never ate there, as it seemed a bit expensive for what we were interested in getting We are literally looking for the next opportunity to go back, and this is where we want to stay. There was something so charming about it, and the service was great.
Very Good
