Top Eckerd College Hotel Reviews

Island Grand at TradeWinds

10/10 Excellent

"We loved the paddle boats, duck feeding time, the water slide on the beach, the pools, and restaurant choices (the pizza was excellent). Having a kitchenette with 2 kids is a huge benefit!"

Beach House Suites by the Don CeSar

8/10 Good

"The place was very nice, but wish there were better dining options onsite and wish the pool was a bit larger. BEWARE of being blamed for smoking on balconies if your next door neighbors are the culprits. That was a major issue we encountered while staying. They tried to bill us the $400 cleaning fee. Otherwise, was a nice stay."

The Beachcomber

10/10 Excellent

"The facility is currently under renovations. This really won't affect your stay- but if you are looking for the aesthetics shown on the web site - you will not see this. The staff at the hotel were extremely friendly and helpful. They did say they expect another few weeks of the construction. The main courtyard is blocked off and there is fencing up and pathways are blocked. This does not affect the pools or access to the beach. The beach is gorgeous, the rooms are the perfect "beach front vibe", and Jimmy B's Beach Bar is fantastic- great food and drinks- music created the perfect beach vacation vibe! The hotel provides beach chairs, umbrellas, and towels - so no need to pack. Parking is free and easy- so all of these small perks make a big difference. We will defiantly be back - cannot wait to see the renovations completed."

St Pete Shores Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"I typically go during off season so the beach and resort are pretty quiet. But, that's my choice. Been coming here since 2019, 3 times a year, and there have been a lot of changes. The beach bar, Rum Runners is gone, but is now a big restaurant and bar. Nice, but like the old outdoor style."

Inn on the Beach - 18+ only

10/10 Excellent

"Great place, easy walk to beach, beach chairs and umbrellas are almost new, bikes available, no pool but not needed, a cooler/beach towels/ beach bag and ice are provided. Easy walk to restaurants"

The Beach Haven Resort

10/10 Excellent

"Looking forward to the next trip out there."

Peninsula Bed & Cocktails

8/10 Good

"The room was clean and comfortable. The service requests were answered by text. That did not make it more convenient, because after I phoned in a request for an iron, before I left, I still had to request an iron when I got there. Also the elevator was out of service or maybe there was no elevator and I had to carry my luggage up to the second floor after a long and exhausting flight. Food is excellent. Overall it was a great stay."

Bayview Plaza Waterfront Resort

8/10 Good

"I couldn’t find the ice machine"
