Caladesi Island State Park Romantic Holidays

Won’t Be Staying Here Again! Very disappointing experience. We were told over the phone around 1 PM that our room was available for early check-in and that we could go to the hotel. The man I spoke with was not particularly helpful and initially told me that the only way to find out was to come to the hotel. I specifically explained that I didn’t want to drive there just to find out that we had to wait and asked if he could simply check whether a room was available. He then told me that our room was available and that we could come. We left the beach specifically to go to the hotel (4 adults, a kid, and a dog), only to arrive around 2:15 PM and be told the room wasn’t ready yet but would be soon. No one followed up with us, and we ended up waiting for almost **2 hours** until I had to go back to the front desk at 4 PM (our official check-in time) to ask about the room. Also, we had an extra car and were told parking was completely full, forcing us to park elsewhere and pay a significant amount. However, we noticed many empty spaces throughout the night (up to 1 am), which made it feel like the front desk simply didn’t want to help. On top of that, the $80/day pet fee seemed very unreasonable. The property itself was nice, but the poor communication, parking situation, and extra fees made the stay frustrating. **We would not stay here again.**

It was great! Room and service was excellent

The Edition was beautiful, staff was extremely nice luxury at its fineness.
