untrustworthy

We arrived and checked in, upon arriving at our room we realized it was not what we had reserved. Our reservation was for a waterview and the room we got was not a waterview. Resort did not have a waterview room so we agreed to keep the room for a refund of the $100 resort fee. Property is very nice. great pools, tiki bar, pickle ball & Marina. We were disappointed that the pools were not clean and were not cleaned over the 3 day stay. Tables were at pool area were alway dirty. At check out the resort would not honor their commitment to refund the resort fee. Nice place, Nice staff. not sure I'll return...

Picky and honest review

SkyBeach Resort is nice but could be nicer. It’s been recently renovated but they cut corners in the showers, using bathtub over liners instead of tile. I suppose it’s to keep the overnight prices lower. The water pressure was good but the water temperature constantly changed from extreme hot to cold. The beds were comfortable. The lowest air temperature was locked at 68 degrees, which is ok but we like it colder at night. It rarely got down below 72 degrees during the hot 99-100 degree days. The old doors were heavy and took some force to open. The cleaning service was nice and the staff was friendly. The restaurant was good but didn’t offer as many seafood items that I would expect in Florida. They did offer a lot of activities at the property, which is nice. The Tampa Bay tide would leave the beach water barren at times but was predictable. Overall, it was nice, I’m just being picky.

Great location. You don't hear the highway over the ocean. Private beach was decent but not as clear as other locations. Food was great but the drinks during non-happy hours were a bit expensive. Even though itis family friendly, it would probably be better suited as an adult resort due to the lack of children's activities. Staff was amazing. Bed was very firm and the blind in our room was broken, stuck in the down position. They did comp us two free drinks at the bar for the inconvenience. Rooms echo so you heard everything. Overall good resort for the budget.

First thing you need to be aware of is that this property is next to a marina so you are getting marina water. No big waves . It had rained for several days and the odor was horrible. The beach itself appears to be one they have made and is nice. You will be charged an amenity fee when you get there that covers chairs, towels, paddle boards, etc. grounds are beautiful. NO elevator.. been out since hurricane. This seems to be an old Florida style motel with only 2 floors so … They have remodeled the rooms and rooms are nice if you don’t have huge cockroaches like we did. When we brought it to their attention the answer was we spray. The sky bar next to pool is really nice and drinks are reasonable and staff great. You can order bar type food and it is decent. The grounds and amenities are great. Rooms themselves are overpriced. If lowered the nightly rate I would stay here again(bring something to kill the cockroach’s) Housekeeping was wonderful. Clean towels every day. Yes it has a beach but not in the gulf. Stinky water.

This hotel discriminates and refused to allow my son to stay there despite having paid in full and given a debit card for any other charges. They refused to let my son check in after charging his card and left my son stranded on the July 4th weekend with nowhere to go. Horrific experience and horrible staff. The GM and front desk GM were rude and unprofessional and refused to give my son his paid for room based on their inaccurate understanding of the law. Overpriced to begin with and horrible customer service that discrimantes. Worst experience ever with a hotel. DO NOT STAY HERE!!!!!
