Florida Gulf Coast hotel rooms a the Independent

"Beautiful hotel, great amenities, wonderful staff!"

"Everything was great but I would change one,thing ,the coffee was espresso only and I enjoy my coffee very much but not expresso ! Staff was great,"

"The property is nice, the staff was fine, food was good. The coffee machine didn’t work, they offered to switch room, but I rejected it. In general nice facility, big pool and the location is close to the Tampa airport."

"Great time"

"Breakfast was good, not great. Food off menu was really good and drinks from the bar were okay. Bed comfort could have been a bit better. Staff were extremely helpful, friendly and efficient, location of hotel was fantastic. Pool couldn't have been better! Morning coffee was tolerable, but back veranda was perfect to relax and start the day. Definitely would stay again and recommend to others."

"Ok there is a lot this resort does right but can improve on some things. The activities for the kids are endless! Our group from 3-12 loved the waterslide on the beach & pool with the DJ/kids games was a lot of fun. The beach is beautiful and it perfect for young kids!! One of the biggest downsides is the elevators. They take forever to come and are often packed when you get one. I think this comes from the resort being older and not having any service elevators so the employees have to use the elevators as well which can often take them up. This resort is in need of some TLC as the rooms are dated and worn. The rug in our living room was fraying and some of the clips for the drapes were broken. Also during the stay my daughter had dropped a bag of chips in our room and while I did my best to clean it up there were still some small crumbs that needed vacuuming up. When housekeeping had not come by 3:30 I had called to check if they would be coming and was told that while they try to make it to every room each day they have been very busy so some days they have not been able to accommodate everyone. While they did come clean our room I do think this is worth noting if daily housekeeping is important to you. We did also find some dead bugs on the floor near the front window when we first got to our room so I don't think they do a really thorough job. Overall fun place but if you are expecting a higher end resort it is not for you. "
