Top Gulfport Beach Hotel Reviews

Casa Dolphina: 6BR Waterfront Mini-Resort—Pool & Spa, Sunsets, Dock, St. Pete FL

10/10 Excellent

"This was our sixth visit in as many years to Casa Dolphina. We keep returning because we love the feeling we are staying in a private resort that ticks all of our boxes. The property is accurately described with a well stocked kitchen and an outdoor grill. The activities are too numerous to list but they include something for everyone. The wildlife is another bonus.Lastly, we want to thank our host, Fabienne, and her husband, Gerold, for taking such good care of us, and making us feel like family. We always look forward to seeing them. They are very thoughtful and show us their appreciation by giving us a welcoming, yummy, baked good as well as a parting gift. See you next year!"

"Every single thing excellent"

St Pete Shores Hotel

8/10 Good

"They gave us the wrong room at first, we paid extra for ocean view, and they didn’t have our original room available so we had to stay in the wrong room for the first day + night. But they moved our room around 1pm the next day with a better view, even though most of the view was the top of the building with some ocean. The staff was super friendly and understanding though! We did get a $100 room credit, but that went towards the daily parking fee + resort fees which was $287 total! The floors weren’t very clean in the room, and we only had 1 fork for the room, no napkins, there was plates but no silverware. There was 4 of us 😅 You do have to pay $20 a day for 1 beach chair, or $57 for two chairs and an umbrella. We did not do this, we just used towels which they supply. There was another place we went that supplied all of this and more for a super similar price. We personally won’t be staying here again unless it’s the last option. You only have a nice view with the balcony if you are on floors 6-8. We were on floor 4."

"Rooms were clean, great beach view and staff was very helpful and accommodating"

The Beach Haven Resort

10/10 Excellent

"I love this place. It is very charming. From what he outside, it reminds me of a retro hotel from days past. Inside, the suite is very modern as if it’s recently been redone. It has cute outside amenities, like a grill that guests are free to use, a large patio with plenty of tables with umbrellas, and even clothes lines to hang your swimsuits after a day at a he beach. It’s small, maybe only 20 or so units. It’s quiet. It’s right on the beach. They do not provide beach lounge chairs, but I here are some tucked in the common area that were left behind in hat you are free to use. I really loved the stay."
