Sirata Beach Resort St Pete Beach
The views and the staff were amazing, rooms very clean. The only reason I didn’t get a five star is because they’re in the midst of remodeling and there’s noise, and parts of the facility that we can’t use. Shout out the Meghan, Kym, Cornelius and Stephanie!

OASIS BAY SUITES, Tampa, Busch Gardens, USF
The Hotel was at the perfect location for Busch Gardens! While on the shuttle we realized that we left our daughter’s stroller. We asked to be taken back to the hotel to grab it and it was no problem for the driver! Had the best time
