    sunbeds
    beach bar
    outdoor swimming pool
    spotty wi-fi

    I loved lounging on the sunbeds and grabbing drinks from the beach bar during our 4-night stay. The outdoor swimming pool and cabana really added to our relaxation time. However, I did notice the Wi-Fi was a bit spotty at times, but it didn't ruin our trip. just a little tip for future guests, pack your own snacks for the beach! 🏖️

    food quality
    limited dining options

    Amazing beach access and friendly staff!

    I had a wonderful time during my 4-night stay. The beachfront location was unbeatable, allowing easy access to the beautiful beach. The staff was incredibly friendly, with shout-outs to Jordan and Shauna at the bar for their awesome service. I loved the rooftop dining option, and lounging by the beach was just perfect for a relaxing vacation. However, I wish the food quality was a bit better. it didn't quite meet the expectations of a resort atmosphere.

    uncomfortable chairs

    My kids wished for more comfortable beach chairs that didn’t have to be carried from the parking area. It would have been great if there was a beachside option for renting chairs instead of having to haul our own.

    elevator efficiency
    service issue

    I appreciated the stunning ocean views from the balcony, which were perfect for relaxing afternoons, and the easy beach access made it very convenient for us seniors. The decor felt modern, bright, and welcoming throughout the resort.

    Improved elevator service would be helpful for seniors.

    delicious rooftop dining
    tropical drink vibes
    beachfront setting
    tight parking spots
    sketchy housekeeping

    Oh man, Spinners Rooftop Grill was a culinary delight! The Pork Belly had me drooling—it was crispy, savory perfection that makes you want to shout, "More please! " Plus, the beachfront setting was just gorgeous. The cabanas kept us shaded while we sipped on tropical drinks. Seriously, can’t get enough of that vibe!

    But don't get me started on the minor hiccups! The parking spots were so tight I almost had to shimmy outta my car. Without blackout curtains, my sleep schedule took a hit, and our room—lime green walls? Not my jam, and we had sand all over thanks to sketchy housekeeping. Overall, it was a mixed bag, but we made it work!

    This place was an excellent fit for a lightning stop in St Pete Beach with incredible value for money. I loved the partial ocean view room with a spacious balcony, perfect for relaxing. Make sure to check the elevator status before arrival as there might be delays.

    beach access
    responsive staff
    in-house dining
    elevator issues
    minor inconveniences

    My stay at Bellwether Beach Resort was great! The hotel offers fantastic beach access, allowing easy transitions from room to sand. I appreciated the responsive staff who efficiently assisted with my business needs. The in-house dining, particularly the options available at Bongo's Beach Bar, provided lovely meals and a pleasant atmosphere for unwinding after work.

    No major complaints, although the elevator efficiency could be improved.
