Renovated rooms? Not to our standard, contacted orbitz and nothing they could do. Beach was beautiful! Plenty to do and see nearby. Rooms were 2 star at most, AC unit dripped out onto "private balcony" causing a hazard. Would go back just not here!!!

Sunset Views are spectacular.
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 08/03/09
The rooms are a bit smaller than what appears in the picture, but they are neat and clean. Ocean views at sunset can not be beat. Michelle at the front desk is the "Best", very accomodating and pleasant, book through her. We will be frequent visitors.

Beachfront Hotel on St Pete Beach Florida
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 04/21/09
Because the hotel is mostly vertical, it's literally steps from the beach. Everything is about the beach -- the pool is awesome and you can walk right out on the beach -- a little shade, but mostly sunny spots. One of the restaurants has outdoor seating by the pool/beach, this was one of our favorites. Spinners is at the top of the hotel and ...

The fifth floor beachside view was beautiful
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 09/20/08
Hello all, I read the reviews and listen to the whiners. One said I smell pot and just how do you know what pot smells like smarty? You party-pooper. Others complain theirs only access to the Internet in the lobby, boo woo. I had a great time for my 9-night stay! I got to meet the gang at the Bahamas mama cabana on the beach, Jason and Sue where ...
The hotel was nice enough and the location was great, but it was our honeymoon and we felt like we totally got snubbed by the staff. We knew there were no guarentees about being upgraded or anything, but when you pay for an oceanview room, you expect just that, not a ocean/cityside view. We had to request to switch rooms once, and they still ...

LOVE IT !!!!
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 10/22/07
We just came back from the Grand Plaza on Friday, October 19, 2007. We loved everything about the hotel, the beach and the area. We will be back. We take vacations each year now that our children are grown and not at home anymore, and this was the best one we have had for a long time. We wanted to rest and relax and that is what we did. ...

Excellent Hotel
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 10/17/07
We stayed at the Grand Plaza this past summer and had a wonderful time. The rooms are very nice and the beds are great! Haven't slept that good ever on vacation. The staff is very friendly and very helpful. Got room service a couple of times and the food was great and it was to our room within 10 minutes. Bahama Mama's is a lot of fun ...
The Grand Plaza Beach Resort is a great hotel! We arrived at the hotel one hour before check in time, but our room was ready and we were able to check in. Our room was recently remodeled, including a brand new high-quality mattress and new bed sheets. One thing we didn't like about the room was it was tile floor, not carpet, which kinda felt ...

I want to stay again
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 02/08/07
My husband & I stayed in this hotel (when it was Holiday Inn) in 2005. I am very familiar with this area & before we left for our vacation all I could think about was all the things I wanted to do when we got down there. However, when we got to the hotel, I didn't want to leave. Everything was there. The outside bar, beach, pool, ...

Spinners Restaurant, Bahama Mamas beach bar
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 11/13/06
We've been to Spinners twice this year and Bahama Mama's beach bar once. It's a great place to have dinner and watch the sunset. It takes about 1 1/2 hours for dinner - we had drinks, appetizers and dinner - no room for desert though. We like to take our out-of-town visitors to Spinners because it's a unique experience. They ...
