Top Eckerd College Hotel Reviews

RumFish Beach at TradeWinds

10/10 Excellent

"Realmente fue una estancia que si dios me permite volveremos a repetir y espero que podamos ir por más días ."

The Beachcomber

10/10 Excellent

"Staff super friendly. Clean remodeled room. Beautiful beach and the drinks are amazing. Only downside was they had construction going on for sewer lines but it didn’t affect our stay at all"

Island Grand at TradeWinds

10/10 Excellent

"This is our 2nd time staying at this resort and we absolutely love it. The rooms are a little dated, but not a big deal to us. Love the pools, location, restaurants and bars - we will be back again!"

The Beach Haven Resort

10/10 Excellent

"Their guest services reached out to me before I arrived to find out what time I would be getting there. They let me know their office hours are only until 4:30PM. They provided instructions/helpful info for the stay which needs to be updated. I had to ask for help to lock the door because the instructions on the sheet gave instructions that did not work. The sheet/comforter set was not where the instruction sheet said it would be located. We reached out to ask and never got a response. I guess because it was after 4:30PM. We ended up going to Walmart and buying sheets/comforter for ourselves or we would never have had anything to sleep with. I never got a response back about the sheets/comforter from guest services. The place was clean, beach access was close and the pool was nice. Wish they had better guest service/guest service hours."

Gulf Strand Resort

10/10 Excellent

"Our partial ocean view room felt almost like a full ocean view. The property was quiet and comfortable. The beach access was top notch! Lots of great restaurants within walking distance. We will definitely stay there again."

Residence Inn by Marriott St. Petersburg Tierra Verde

8/10 Good

"We spent one evening. The staff were very friendly and polite. They truly seemed interested in accommodating our needs. The room was clean and comfortable. There are only two elevators and one of them was out of service for our entire stay which was inconvenient. The room had an individual air conditioning unit. Due to the age of the technology we woke up every time the air came on but it worked great. The view from our room was spectacular. We would stay here again. Overall a very positive experience."

Beach House Suites by the Don CeSar

10/10 Excellent

"We had a room directily facing the ocean. The view was beautiful! Room was very clean. Bed was so comfortable even the sofa bed was great! Staff was very courteous and friendly."

St. Petersburg Vacation Home

8/10 Good

"The place was lovely! Just as pictured. Check in and out was easy. Clear directions, the only reason I gave four stars for was the simple fact there were no bowls.. could use a few more kitchen utensils but otherwise the property had everything needed. Was a great stay. Everything was neat and clean. Comfortable"
