Wyndham Grand Clearwater Beach

10/10 Excellent

"Tout était parfait !"

Island Grand at TradeWinds

8/10 Good

"The hall to our room was dirty, bags of trash across my penthouse front door and chairs as if it was a alley where people hung out not to mention a dark light lighting the hallway to our room - didn’t feel safe especially with a roof entry door in same hallway - I’m assuming that light is dark due to turtles but perhaps tinting the window is better that making the hall dark thus feeling unsafe to to send wife alone to the room specifically in the night time - mind you I did report it to the front desk and they were very apologetic and showed concern but the first impression was still a negative one"

Hyatt Regency Clearwater Beach Resort and Suites

10/10 Excellent

"We stay here every year and it has always been a 5 Star stay for my family. We love the 1BDR 2Ba with kitchen. Being able to fix our own breakfast and lunches pays for this upgrade by itself. Pool always fun, beach couldnt be much closer. Cant wait to come back!"

RumFish Beach at TradeWinds

8/10 Good

"All in all, we had a great stay! the location of the property is perfect and the beach was so nice. The staff was very kind and helpful (contrary to their sister property next door)! We especially loved the lady who does breakfast and coffee in the morning by the front desk, she definitely put a smile on everyone's face! We tried 3 of the restaurants onsite (RumFish Grill, the pizzeria at the other property and Gulfside Kitchen) and the food and service were really good too! The hotel itself needs a little love, it is not in the best shape, but it was ok. The pools were nice, except the one in the kids area with the pirate ship; it was pretty "cloudy" so we did not get in! Our room was comfortable and we liked the configuration, it was perfect for 2 adults and 2 teens since we had a lot of space and separated areas. It would be nice if there was added security or supervision on site so rules were respected. There was ALOT of people smoking weed and cigarette around the pool and public areas, which was annoying."

The Don CeSar

8/10 Good

"The staff was wonderful. Very accommodating and friendly. My husband is 90 so we were really not able to enjoy all of the amenities. Some higher lounge chairs would have been helpful as well as a walkway to the beach which really isn’t accessible to people with balance issues or disabilities. I would recommend it highly for families and younger grandparents who want to treat their kids and grandkids to a great vacation."
