Luxury Hotels in Clearwater-St. Pete Beaches, Florida

"The resort is nice however the infrastructure is showing its age. The elevators acted up with one not stopping on our floor even when floor button lit. It took two tries up and down before it opened on the ground floor and we walked up. That elevator was down for maintenance the next day. We were offered an upgrade to a beach view suite with Juliette balcony. It was a beautiful view and suite was clean and comfortable. However the sliding door to open the balcony was extremely hard to open & close with the handle very loose. We ended up not opening. Bathroom plumbing was showing age. The only deal breaker was the elevator. Otherwise it was a nice stay."

"This property is extremely deteriorated. The only positive thing about the TradeWinds is the location on the beach. The price we paid for the room quality and cleanliness makes me sick. They scam their ratings by having people leave great reviews for servers/beach attendants to counter the terrible reviews from the actual property. The rooms are disgusting: I mopped the first night because they felt nasty and the cloth I used was black from all the dirt. Kitchen amenities are lacking(no dishwasher or oven, no paper towels, minimal cooking pans). The water takes minutes to warm, sinks don’t drain, etc. After checkout, I looked over our bill and we were charged $25/night for a roll-a-way bed. Not a problem if they would have disclosed that to me when I asked for a pack n play. We definitely would have just used one of the other beds in our room that was meant for up to 10 people(we only had 5). The food was overpriced (as expected) but terribly low quality. Absolutely disappointed with this place and will never be back. "

"Very nice overall hotel"

"Nice location, room was fine. Should have a microwave in the room. Live music during the day would be nice or at least some music around the pool."

"I specifically booked my stay at St Pete Shores Hotel the night before my half marathon because I wanted a relaxing, stress-free environment near the ocean. Unfortunately, my experience was the exact opposite. From the moment I arrived, I had ongoing issues with my room key not working. After multiple attempts and repeated trips to get it resolved, I explained the situation to maintenance, expecting assistance. Instead, I was met with accusations that I was being dishonest in order to get a different room, which was both unprofessional and frustrating. The lack of basic customer service and the way this situation was handled completely overshadowed what should have been a calm and important night before my race. I would not recommend staying here, especially if you’re expecting a smooth and accommodating experience."

"The hotel is lovely, but they have some challenges that affected my stay and my overall opinion of the property. We waited 45 minutes in line to check in due to a system shutdown. The toilet in our room cycled all night, keeping us up, and requiring a room change. The hotel then didn’t recognize our prepaid room and charged me again for the room nights, pulling the funds from my bank account and adding undue charges to my credit card. It was an unfortunate experience that will prevent me from wanting to stay there again, which is disappointing because I love the location and beauty of the building. "

"I enjoyed my stay here but the part of the hotel we stayed in was old. Dim lighting in the bathroom, I could see light coming from under our door which opened to the strip so noise was at premium, old carpet. But the beach view was great and it was a very convenient location within walking distance to grocery store and restaurants. Loved it that they let you take beach chairs and towels to the beach. I would stay here again but probably after they renovate the tower, where I stayed, which the manager said is coming up in the future. "

"Fell short of expectations for the price. Many things to like about this "boutique" hotel- the design, well-trained staff, restuarant overlooking bay, valet parking, location. However, many things NOT to like. While bayside (pool & restaurant) views are lovely, other side overlooks a busy, loud street. Enjoyed shuttle to beach, but not the walk back (on the busy road) when they failed to answer 3 calls for a pickup. Pool closed due to broken glass in the pool, knocked over the edge of the restaurant balcony directly above (design/safety issue needs to be addressed) pool area had used towels on ground and on chairs for several hours, no pool staff in sight, Rooftop closed for wedding, only left one small corner open for hotel guests, no bar service (an amenity we looked forward to enjoying). Carpets in hallway badly stained and also appeared dirty. Room nice enough, bathroom dated. The major disappointment was booking and pre-paying for a premium king balcony view room, and being told upon check-in that it was not available, they were 100% booked. They offered drink vouchers and $100 off the room, on the lowest floor with a street/parking lot view. Staff claimed they would contact Expedia for partial refund, but did not. Several calls from Expedia and myself to the manager were not returned, I don't expect that Hotel Zamora management will do the right thing. I'm not the first with this complaint (read the negative reviews). If you expect luxury and honesty, book elsewhere"

"Beach access was great and very friendly staff. The room was quite small and no dishes stocked in the kitchenette. They do offer some styrofoam bowls/cups and plastic utensils though. "
