Belleair Beach Hotel Guide - 4 Stars Hotels in Belleair Beach, St. Petersburg - Clearwater

"So close to the airport and the shuttle is a great amenity "

"We had a very nice stay and will likely return to this hotel but there were a few snags to consider when booking. We checked in and the room wasn't ready so the hotel put a hold for $458 on my card and texted us when our room was ready (that is nice), and then put another $458 (double charged) on my card when I went to the desk to get my room keys. I paid thru Expedia so only owed $158 on property, rest was for incidentals. The next day they put a hold on my card for ~$3,000, I went to the desk and they said its because Expedia hadn't provided their card but not to worry. The next day they actually posted ~$3,500 to my card which again I had to visit the desk and ask for that to be reversed. The resort could really screw someone if they didn't have a high enough card limit and they should work that out with Expedia directly vs charging paid customers. After multiple trips to the front desk it was resolved. Twice I had to go to the front desk to ask for towels. They come into your room and although you've paid for 4 people, leave you 2 washcloths and 3 towels. Once the washcloths never showed up. The hot water mentioned by others was also an issue at peak dinner time showering but was otherwise warm. On the positive side the beach is beautiful and we were always able to find a spot despite not paying for the cabanas. The resort itself was nice and we enjoyed the breakfast buffet and fitness center. Wait for elevators can be long at times but we managed. "

"Poolside area was fine. My room overlooked the generators. I had booked a gulf view! The ac in the room ratttled loud noise. Unable to switch rooms. Pricey daily parking. For the amount I paid I expected A+ However the staff was nice"

"The place is beautiful, the hot tub is way too crowded. But the location of the hotel is perfect, and the place was spotless , my family and I loved our stay and are looking to come back "

"The room was nice and clean. The staff was very friendly and helpful. For a regular standard room it was above expectation. The beds were very comfortable. Loved that the hotel did not nickel and dime us for every amenity. Free bottled water, free beach chairs as well as beach towels. Would definitely recommend and stay again. "

"Hot tub wasn't warm at all"

"From the moment we arrived we were treated well . Employees know how to take care of customer needs. My wife and I had a beautiful room with a great view. The room was continually cleaned and refreshed. The pool is beautiful and the restaurant delightful . We will definitely be back. Thank you Opal Sands management and staff! "

"I was in the area for a business meeting so my family went with me to hang out at the beach. Overall, the staff was not very friendly and seemed put off to help. The hotel is historic and cool, but rooms are small and for the price you would think other things would be more accommodating and nice. Prices were quite high for everything. The elevator system is awful and took so long that we used the stairs the whole stay. They were filming a show 2 of the 3 days we were there which shut down one of the avg sized pools (only have two) requiring all guests to cram into the other area. Filming also shut down the lobby and elevator area for an extensive time. I asked the front desk (two others beside me also asked) about why we’re not told about the filming and if there would be a discount. Front desk person just smirked and said that would not be happening. At the Society restaurant for dinner, my daughter who has an egg and nut allergy (we disclose to everyone) had to order a chicken soft taco with cheese. This was an off menu item they said they could do. It showed up with cubed chicken that was barely warm with a slice of Kraft cheese laying on it. It was disgusting. After voicing frustration, the manager who saw the same thing took off 10%. I don’t mind paying for things, especially for good service and nice amenities but this stay was well below expectations."

"La habitación muy buena pero no tienen piscina ni jacuzzi disponible."
