OK, Lets talk about the beach bar. The hamburgers and food are really good. Yet there is a drawback. They BEACH BAR STAFF have two menu's. One for "tourist visiting" and one for the "Locals". The prices can vary from $5.50 for a hamburger to $7.50. and .75 cent difference for a daft beer. BEWARE! PAY AS YOU GO AND ASK PRICES ...

Best Place on St. Pete Beach
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 04/16/08
Although the front desk service is not all that great, this place is the best on the beach for the price! We've been going to this motel every year during the holidays and any weekend get away that we can get for over 7 years. It is such a great family oriented motel, you never feel unsafe. It is almost always very peaceful and relaxing ...
Love that it's not a high rise, they can have that!! Rooms are older, but clean great access to the beach, 2 pools not to mention for beachfront, great bargain. Tiki bar is great and friendly, at night everybody has fun and gets to know each other have met a few people there, not like some stuffy resorts. If you want fun and relaxation this is ...

the caliber of the clientele at this beach motel was frightening. Lots of smokers, tatoos, and trailer trash. Yikes! Beach Bar serves great food though!

Get a lot of bang for the bucks
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 06/02/07
Bon Aire Resort has always been our home away from home...This year will be our twenty second time going to our paradise. We enjoy the accomidations, the stores nearby and best of all, THE BEACH.
The staff is outstanding...We have never had any problems. If we needed something corrected;they were always taken care of in a timely manner. We appreciate having a wonderful carefree vacation at Bon Aire each year. Peg/Carl

Retirees without cars will like it
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 03/09/07
Just stayed at the BonAire and believe it would be a good motel for the right person. Mostly a retiree crowd. When we arrived at 1 pm there were 12 retirees around the pool and 9 were asleep with their paperback books on their chest. The property appears to be well kept. The 2 pools were incredibly warm and they were also clean. A lot of beachfront ...

what a paradise!
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 01/05/07
Love the outdoor entry to each room. no stuffy elevators or main entrances. No sand dunes between suites and the beach. front door of your room could be thirty feet from beach!decent grills and a tiki bar with good food also. Very relaxing and enjoyable with a price that is affordable.

Over priced food and drinks-hardly.All the ...

Anniversary Site
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 05/30/06
We will celebrate our 59th anniversary at the Bon-Aire. We began our vacations at the Bon-Aire when our children were still in grammer school. They each now have their own families. When we move to Ca. from the mid-west in 1986 we were unable to continue our tradition. But about ten years ago we wanted a family reunion and all voted to meet at the ...

the #1 rudest staff on the planet
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 05/15/06
I was recommended to this resort by a good friend.It was the worst expierience our family had in 20 years of travel.The location is great.The tiki bar is right on the beach and can be a lot of fun IF you can get a drink in less than 25 minutes.The motels' website is misleading for the rooms are much smaller than what the pictures indicate.Not ...
