The room was clean. The place was very nice. Amenities were updated and modern. You can tell it was an updated older hotel. The water pressure was good but the water temperature was difficult to maintain. If you weren’t careful it could be extremely hot or cold and could barely stay even luke warm. I also wish you didn’t have to pay to park on-site.

Nice place, nicely remodeled room. Only reason for 3 stars is because a manager kicked us out of the lower bar area, with no one around, for smoking. She said the only smoking place is in the front of the property. Makes sense if someone complains, but she was being a Karen. Not going back to this property.

Reached out to customer service on Expedia and also within the hotel for support as toilets did not work and it was not clean. Did not get a response, nobody really cares about your issues. Parking is strictly enforced before you even park or know where the front desk is.

Sky Beach Resort is a little gem in the midst of suburban St Pete. Beautifully renovated and well appointed ted, the star is the beach/ resort area. Multiple seating options on beach and off, two pools (one heated) and a hot tub, lush landscape and easy access to everything you need to escape from the hectic pace of life. Our small but adequate room was sparkling clean, with a fully updated bath. Beds reminded us of the European style- quite firm and slightly shorter than what we are used to but comfortable as needed. I highly recommend this beautiful little hotel/resort on Tampa Bay. Bonus was the view of the Sunshine skyway bridge in the distance.

The property behind the resort is beautiful & a lot has gone into that. The same should go back into the rooms. While half of the room was redone, the bathrooms not being redone made the whole room feel “less than” in my opinion. Bathroom looked cheap. And it wasn’t just looks. Temperature of the shower was very inconsistent between almost scalding hot & freezing cold, without touching the actual dial, which was frustrating. No bar or liquid soap at the sink, which we asked for in our 1st day but never received. Also, quite a few paver blocks on the outside were also loose, pulling up when we walked on them, which contributed to the “old & worn out” feel. I think in time if these are changed, we overall experience would be much better.
