Thank you.

last minute booking
Pros:the little porches off each room.
Cons:Coffee should be at the hotels location, we paid 21.40 a day for resort fee, too much for the property, checking in some where else, getting coffee
Location:beach across the street, some restaurants,
I had to make a quick reservation for St Pete Beach area near another hotel to see our family, It was quick to book and overall a nice place to stay. the additional fees should not be charged, couldn't use any of the properties benefits, coffee should be at bay palms not 120 yards away, if you had too deliver it to the rooms since you charge a very high rate

Elizabeth,
Thank you for staying with us and leaving us your feedback. If you were unhappy with the coffee, we do have packets at the front desk that we provide our guests who are across the street. We do have coffee makers in all of the rooms to also make up for this. Unfortunately we do not have the staff available to have coffee made at the bay side properties or delivered. We're sorry you were unhappy with the fee, but we're glad to see that you at least enjoyed the rooms and our property. We hope you come back and see us and have the chance to enjoy all the amenities we offer for you.

Lousy parking, the parking spaces are angled to make you back into the space from a busy 4 lane Gulf Blvd. To enter the space head first make a U-turn and enter from opposite side of street.
There is NO OFFICE on premises -- to check in you walk what seems about 1,000 yards down Gulf Blvd, on opposite side of street. That's what I got for not reading the hotel description more closely when I made my reservation.
Some rooms are 1 car length away from a busy 4-lane Gulf Blvd.

Hello,
We're very sorry to see that you thought your stay was only a 1 out of 5. Our office is less than a 5 minute walk from the Bay Palms, although with the Florida heat I could see it seeming longer. You didn't mention anything about your room or any of the amenities we have. Did you enjoy your room or the amenities we have at all three properties? We hope you had a chance to visit the beach side property where we allow you to use the amenities and beach access. Please let us know if there's anything we can do to earn your business back. We would love to have you.

Great find in st Pete beach
We came to initially stay at a different large chain hotel that was supposed to be beachfront. Instead was next to the interstate and large jets flying over. Found Bay Palms last minute and so glad we changed! Our room was on second floor overlooking the water on an inlet bay. It was a 2 bedroom suite and we loved it! The view was amazing, the room was perfect with 2 baths and a full kitchen, very clean and updated newer fixtures in bathrooms etc. The staff was very attentive, and I even got text messages throughout my stay to see how things were going. There was a large deck we could fish off of, and sailboats docked. Very peaceful. Our only complaint was that there were no screens in the bedroom windows, so we couldn't leave windows open at night. But a minor complaint. There is not a restaurant on premises, but didn't matter to us since we went out to eat anyways. I would definitely come back, and so glad I found this place. Was a nice, relaxing stay.

Rosalyn,
Thank you so much for your 5 star review and for the beautiful pictures. We are glad you found us- even if last minute. The 2 bedroom suite is one of the nicest units on the properties with nice views- it was definitely a good choice. We hope to see you here again in the near future.
Sincerely,

The Bay Palms Resort was a great stay for us.
Pros:We has a great size suite. It was clean, but not so fancy that we had to worry about sand,etc.
Cons:More comfortable furniture to sit on in the living space.
Location:The location was great for us. Just a short walk to the beach. The "free taxie" service was great. The drivers worked for tips so it was inexpensive.
We had a great experience . We saw Manatee in the canal right off the deck. Room was great and spacious. It was quiet and the beds were very comfortable.

Bedding is TERRIBLE - Otherwise it's Five Star
Such a great place, newly remodeled, very very nice.
WHY DID YOU FORGET TO REPLACE THE BEDDING!!! It's super hard and springy. I had a one bedroom apartment and had an uncomfortable and ugly two person couch to sit in. The furniture is terrible.
The condition of the unit itself was spectacular. I so badly want to rank it five stars but when you forget the fundamental hotel law of a good nights sleep. It's kind of a fail. Loved the location and everything else though.

Thank you for your positive remarks. I apologize that you found the bed uncomfortable. Our bedding is being replaced during the next few weeks. The mattresses were replaced during our original renovations just a few years ago, but we are not satisfied with their quality, therefore replacing them again became necessary. I welcome you to come back and visit us again!

Cons:tight parking off of a busy road, check-in/out was at sister property 300 yds away
At first glance, we weren't sure we wanted to stay here...from the road it looks like something out of a bad horror movie....including the vacant office instructing us to go down the road "100 yards" and check in at their sister property. (NOTE: it's more like 300 yards and across a busy road).
But the staff was very friendly and accommodating and even offered to let us transfer to the sister property if we weren't satisfied with our original location. But after comparing the two rooms, we chose to stick with our original reservation because the room was spacious, clean, and relatively quiet considering the proximity to the road. We also liked the view and atmosphere of the dock on the bay. (NOTE: while this property boasts it is "waterfront"...this does NOT mean "beachfront"...it is on a small inland bay. The sister property is on the beach side of the road, however, only the end units have beach views...the bulk of the units overlook a parking lot.)
The room was spotless, the efficiency kitchen nicely appointed, the bed was comfy, and the A/C worked. Considering we were in the area to visit family and not to lounge on the beach, it was a good value for the money.

Paradise on the Bay doesn't have to be flashy or modern.
Pros:Close restaurants, Free Internet, Quiet, private deck on an inlet of the bay
Cons:office staff was at a neighboring hotel, squeaky bed, small bathroom
This hotel was superb value for a great location. The rooms opened on to a private deck on a finger of the bay. It was a quiet lovely oasis with mantees swimming just a few feet from the deck. We also had beach access across the street at a sister hotel.
The room itself was dated, but quintessential Florida, reminding me of family vacations back in the 60's & 70's. Everything worked though, including the internet and flat screened TV's. I definately felt that we got our money's worth.
My only complaint is the strange set-up with the two sister hotels. The check-in and office was located at a hotel across the street, and the phones in the room did not have the office phone number on them. If you dialed "0" it rang in the closed office of our location. Once we figured how to contact the office though, they were helpful, efficient, & friendly.

Wonderul hositality and location!
I arrived a single gal on vacation and was told that I was moved to the Plaza Beach Hotel, which is about 400 yards down the street with direct beach access. I was given a ride from the man behind the desk and was pleasantly surprised by the hospitality of the staff. My room was clean, cool and had a small kitchenette. The best part was that I did not have to pay any additional resort fees or charges for this room upgrade. The location is great and the nearby restaurants are inexpensive. There is a grocery store and a large number of restaurants within walking distance. I spent a majority of my time across the street with the locals at the Drunken Clam (a small bar with live music every night) or directly on the beach. The hotel was wonderful and you have access to all three resorts when you stay at one, all within short walking distance of one another. Definitely will be coming back!
