Dirty room

Liked: Beautiful location and property
Disliked: Dirty room, room had pee in toilet and toilet paper in toilet when we walked in on the toilet was not clean when you close the bathroom door, there was a blood smeared on the inside of the bathroom door the trashcan, sticky stuff in the bottom. There was no bag in the trashcan and there were fake eyelashes left on the table next to the bed. due to the fact of booking to a third party, the hotel was going to camp my stay, but could not because it was booked through a third-party. I will never book through Booking.com or a third-party again.

Superb

Great place for family fun!

Liked: The property is located in a beautiful quiet area. Still plenty of shops and restaurants to explore! The staff were absolutely fantastic and the hotel smelled like beautiful orange blossoms!
Disliked: The mattresses were a little lumpy but the linens were plush!

Marriott was luxurious without being...

Liked: Property was newly renovated - the cabanas not yet done but they will be nice when they are - views are beautiful on both sides of our room. Our room was comfortable and spacious. The staff friendly and helpful. Food and drinks excellent! Loved that it was close enough to downtown but not downtown!!! Will stay again

Fabulous!

Liked: The rooms were beautifully updated. Very comfortable. Great views of the bay too. The pool was beautiful and was well maintained. The staff were all very helpful and friendly.

Exceptional

Pleasant

Liked: Good breakfast
Disliked: The hotel is NOT on the beach. Much smaller than advertised

Great hotel, would stay again

Liked: Our family really loved it here! They have a kids club with lots of games, a really cute splash pad, a large pool with a bar, pool-side food and drink service, and comfortable padded loungers. We never had trouble getting a spot at the pool.All of the rooms were suites (living room/kitchen + bedroom with a fridge, sink, pull out couch, microwave). We did a suite with two double beds, because the double rooms were slightly bigger than the king bed rooms (verified because my parents were in a king room). The hotel provided a pack and play for our baby. All rooms have water views and a balcony with chars and a table. The beds were super comfortable.The hotel has a parrot mascot, Lisa, who my kiddos were obsessed with! She would be roaming around with an employee or in the lobby. They gave my toddler crayons and a Lisa coloring page at check in.The lobby has a Starbucks + ice cream shop (ice cream is gelato, and homemade in Tampa!) There is also a restaurant that does a buffet or a la cart breakfast with good options.There’s a boardwalk adjacent to the hotel with a waterfront area and numerous restaurants and shops. We LOVED Columbia next door and the greek restaurant. We ate at these two places 2-3 times each!There’s a park with beach access across the street from the hotel that has a big, shaded playground. That’s also where the hotels’ loungers and umbrellas are. The hotel has a golf cart and they will drive you back and forth for free if you’re not up for the walk. There's also a beach trolley that runs to the busy area on the next key over, but we were more impressed with the food next to the hotel.
Disliked: We were disappointed that the splash pad was closed while we were there. This is why we booked the hotel with our 3 year old and 1 year old in mind.
