Top Eckerd College Hotel Reviews

Island Grand at TradeWinds

10/10 Excellent

"Nice place to stay on the beach!"

The Don CeSar

10/10 Excellent

"Everything was absolutely perfect!"

The Beachcomber

10/10 Excellent

"Nicely done. Everything all in one place."

RumFish Beach at TradeWinds

10/10 Excellent

"Lets be honest, you're here for the beach, which was outstanding! The resort had beach loungers on the beach along with beach towels. This was all covered through the resort fee. We picked a room with a gulf view with a balcony. We were out on the balcony every night. My wife enjoyed doing a craft that was organized by the resort. The room was clean, towels were plentiful, and we had a great time at the resort. The only know was they were working twice on the elevator on out building. But a member of staff pointed us to a second elevator in the middle of the building. That was my only ding on the review."

Peninsula Bed & Cocktails

10/10 Excellent

"This place was great from the start. They stayed in constant communication, telling me exactly how to get into the room. The lobby bar is fantastic and the ladies there as well. I'm so very sad I forgot to stop by the bakery downstairs and grab a slice of cake - all their offerings look just wonderful. I even unfortunately locked myself out of the bathroom and they were quick to come up and solve the problem. Fantastic property, fantastic experience."

Plaza Beach Hotel Beachfront Resort

10/10 Excellent

"The staff was so helpful and friendly. The room was clean. This is a great area. I’d love to go back and stay here again. There is sand volleyball. A small area for kids in the sand to play. A nice outpost pool. Plenty of things for the kids (or adults) to do on site. We were able to walk to come restaurants and stores. It is close to a lot. Their area of the beach is sectioned off so only occupants can use it and it isn’t crowded. There are also chairs and umbrellas to rent. Such a great place!"

Bay Palms Waterfront Resort - Hotel and Marina

10/10 Excellent

"We travel with our dog and this hotel allows pets. The hotel was clean and the staff was very helpful. We would stay there again."

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"

Kick back and relax in this calm, stylish home! Close to downtown, beaches, park
