Caladesi Island State Park 4 Stars Hotels

"The staff was extremely friendly. Beach access was convenient. Close to stores, restaurants, coffee, etc. Room was nice but bathroom could have been both updated and cleaner. Old tub and fixtures instead of walk-in shower. Shower head needed a good cleaning. It was listed as 2 queen beds (I could not get a king) but honestly the bed seemed more like a double than a queen. My husband and I were not very comfortable. Additionally, I was surprised upon arrival when access to the room was external like a motel. However, it did appear that most properties in this area were like that. It was loud as well with the bars and lives music in close proximity. I mention these things only because I felt the nightly rate was high considering these items. For the price I would have expected a bit more. I would consider staying here again but would book earlier for a king and a balcony room. "

"beautiful, amazing staff, safe"

"Very nice resort! Would definitely stay here again."

"The Opel Sands not to be confused with its adjacent sister hotel the Opel Sol is a beautiful hotel w"

"My stay here was great as I was initially disappointed, the hotel I usually frequent was not available. This was my first time at this location and I was pleasantly surprised! The gym was clean and had useful equipment. The onsite restaurant and bar were very nice and accommodating not to mention the Starbucks! The staff were also very friendly. My room over looked the Bay and the huge wall to wall floor to ceiling windows made that view even better!"

"Room was clean, but absolutely no view. Looked over a ballroom roof. For $450/night, not worth it. Bath was miniscule. "

"My husband and I have been staying at this hotel for almost 20 years, every time we visit Tampa. This time was different and not in a good way. They started charging for parking! Ridiculous! We were approached by a Hilton sales person every time we even walked thru the lobby with them trying to sell us something which was off putting. We will not be staying here anymore. "
