Island Grand at TradeWinds
The room wasn’t ready when we got there and I kept having to go back through the line because it was already after 4pm. Finally at 4:30 she got us a room. Then they’re knocking on door at 10:45am to clean it asking when we’re leaving. For $400+ dollars, it be nice to have a room for the correct length ...

Compass Hotel by Margaritaville Anna Maria Sound
Our stay was a relaxing laid back experience. The rooms are spacious and very clean. Staff are friendly and quite helpful. The complimentary breakfast has great options for everyone. Being right on the water by a marina lends to beautiful views of sunset while enjoying a cocktail at end of day.

Kompose Boutique Hotel
Decor is a bit unfinished. The evening restaurant service was awful. They were understaffed and it took 1.5 hours to receive our food. The restaurant may be a separate entity, but it still reflects on the Kompose.

Sirata Beach Resort St Pete Beach
Pricey. Our room has no window that can be opened or balcony. And if you want to go to the beach and use their umbrellas or chairs you have to pay. Not even a discount you pay the same price that people that don’t come from the hotel. Very expensive for what it is.
