Hated the management, had no hot shower water for 5 out of 7 days and the management could care less. Loved the area and the beach will go back BUT NOT TO THE VISTAS ON THE GULF!! beware once you're there they don't care!!
St Pete beach and the area is wonderful. The shops at St Johns Pass were awsome. The beach at St Pete and Ft Desoto State Park were picture perfect. We loved the atmosphere and fun at The Pier. We spent two days at Busch Gardens, which is close by, and loved every second. We loved the drive across the bridges leading to St Petersburg and can't wait to visit the area again.

As far as the continental US, this is the place to visit
SPB is a cool little place to visit. The beaches are all very nice and there are many of them to choose from. The water looks great and the beaches are all very clean. Everything is pretty closely grouped together. As long as it's not rush hour, you can go from SPB up to the Dunedin area in about 45 minutes. If you want, you can catch a Rays ...

Overpriced - overrated

We stayed at the Alden Beach Resort but ...

We'll go back for sure!

Although we went in late March, the weather was cool(high 60's). But we really enjoyed it anyway. The beach and surrounding areas are beautiful! The views and sunsets are spectacular! The Gulf water was warm and so clear! The area of St. Pete's Beach has numerous attractions close by and is good for families...No wild springbreakers...mostly families with kids and retirees. If your looking for a quiet, beautiful Florida beach, this is IT!

GREAT

We had a wonderful stay at the Sunrise. Our unit 205 had a fantastic view of the bay and overlooked the pool area. From the time we arrived in the USA and Tampa airport we had a very easy time to get to the Sunrise. Fantastic location, my children played in the pool all day and practiced their tennis, the other guests we meet are also very ...
We went to St. Pete's Beach for our honeymoon in 2004. We were able to stay at a four star resort hotel (the Don Cesar) and enjoy a beautiful hotel, a lovely beach, magnificent pools and a spa--all for an affordable rate! I would recommend it to other newlyweds or anyone looking to relax. It's family friendly, too.

As you come into this little island,your greeted by the "pink hotel" with all its grandeur,you know this isn't your ordinary beach community,, As you travel up the Gulf Boulevard, you will see many shops, restaurants all within walking distance from all the hotels,and motels,,There is ...
beautiful, convenient, lots of room, not over croweded, varying price range of hotels to stay in, clean, wonderful sunset.... Go as a couple or go with kids.
