Room was clean, only issue was the air conditioner leaked but we just kept things away from it. Love that it had a good truck and car at the pool and lots of things to keep the kids busy on the beach. Hot tub was always hot (feel like hot tubs at hotels are always like warm) we got there early and our room was surprisingly ready. We really had a great stay and highly recommend.

The only complaint was the filter in the bathroom was disgusting. Needed cleaned probably 2 months ago.
Disappointed that they don’t even offer a continental breakfast. The only extra is the pool which is very nice and access to the beach.

Overall, it was a decent stay. I really liked the ocean vibe, and the staff was friendly and helpful. The amenities were sufficient and well maintained. However, the shared walls are very thin—having a neighbor watching TV loudly was a significant issue for us. The most prominent downside was the noise in the corridors, which started early in the morning and continued through noon.

The property was pleasant overall; however, there was water left unattended on the lobby floor, which resulted in a slip incident. Additionally, while the housekeeping staff member was courteous, communication was limited due to a language barrier, which made resolving a minor issue take longer than expected. Improved attention to safety and communication would enhance the guest experience.

Enjoyed our stay at the Sheraton. Very nice hotel. Family friendly. Beach access is super nice. $30 a day for parking a rental car is outrageous. I would rather just pay extra for the hotel and have free parking. Its 45 mins from Tampa airport so with kids you pretty much need to rent a car so they back you into a corner with parking it there.

We had a great stay. Hotel was clean, staff was friendly. It was within walking distance of shopping and eating places. The beach was just a short walk from the hotel doors and was a nice to hang at the beach or at the hotel pool. Will definitely stay there again!
