Great stay at the Plaza Beach Resort!

Reviewed Apr 16, 2024via mobile
This was my first time and the Plaza Beach Resort but it won’t be my last. This little motel packs a big punch for the money. We were in room 204 on the second floor. There’s 2 chairs outside the room but plenty of seating around the motel. The room has 2 beds, pull out couch, little table with chairs in the kitchenette, full size fridge, toaster, coffee pot and 2 electric burners on the counter next to the sink. Plenty of room. The resort is clean and the workers are out early emptying trash etc… you can walk down to the beach and rent an umbrella with 2 chairs for $30 ($40 if your not a hotel guest). The pool is nice and there is a tiki bar for drinks. $4 for domestic beers. There’s no restaurant at the Plaza but many within walking distance. We walked a few buildings down the beach and got lunch at Crabby Bills one day. We had dinner at Buona Ristorante (Italian) across the street in the Publix Plaza. Food was amazing! Entrees average around $20. We also got groceries at Publix. Breakfast, lunch items, drinks. Everything you need is within walking distance. If you’re looking for an affordable vacation on a beautiful beach I highly recommend the Plaza. I will definitely be back.

Hotel has always been top notch. Great mom and pop feel. Friendly staff, unless you try to use lobby bar without your wristband on. They have a beach bar with a great bartender Chris. Only problem no washroom. How do you have a bar with no restroom?

Thank you for your feedback! We're glad to hear that you've enjoyed the top-notch service and the friendly, mom and pop feel of our hotel. Regrettably, as a result of the misconduct exhibited by certain bar patrons in our lobby restroom, we have had to make access to hotel guests only. This decision was made to uphold a clean and comfortable restroom environment for our hotel guests. While we acknowledge the unfortunate nature of this policy, we consider it necessary. Signs outlining this policy are prominently displayed throughout the bar area, and we also provide directions to the nearest public restroom as an alternative solution. Although the bar is accessible to all, access to other amenities is limited to guests with a room reservation or those who have purchased resort day passes. This policy is in place to maintain the exclusivity and uncrowded nature of our private amenities, ensuring they remain reserved for paying hotel guests.

This is a great, cozy little resort on beautiful St. Pete Beach. While on the smaller side, it has plenty of amenities. Our room came with a kitchenette, they have a pool, a small bar, even putt-putt! There's a complimentary happy hour in the lobby with local beer, but what really made our experience was Tyrell and Ray. These two went way above and beyond helping us out with all of our needs. I would happily stay here again just based on the service from these two. Amazing experience, six stars!

There were things that we were pleased with: being right on the bay, the kitchenette convenience, the location. But, this is not a 5 star hotel. The rooms were outdated. Couch and bedding had stains. They tried to update the outside but there were smoking people all around the grounds. We had a major issue with towels. They weren’t collected from our room even though we placed them on the tables outside our room for replacement as requested. We stayed for 8 days and we had towel issues for 4 of them. On our last day we asked for more towels because we had a family of four. They only gave us two. We asked four times before we got them. How do you run out of towels at a hotel? The cleaning people did not clean our room on the scheduled day and said they “ran out of time.”

For the money I paid for this place for the week, I should have had these issues.

We have been coming here approximately 16 years. Started by just coming a few days, and eventually worked our way up for the entire month of February. We stay at one of the sister resorts on Boca Ciega Bay across the road. Fishing & sea life is plentiful. Guests can use amenities at either resort. We have several friends that have been joining us the last several years and they absolutely love this place. They have recently hired on a new general manager. His name is Yao. He is totally committed to great customer service! I believe he was an excellent choice!!! The staff to name a few, Krystal, Tanner, Tyrell & Jody are top notch! Super friendly and are committed to doing their job to it’s best! We especially ❤️ Krystal. The pool sits right off the very fine white sandy beach & looks out to the Gulf of Mexico. Robert (owner), Sherri & I plan to continue our tradition into the next couple decades. Thanks for a great place to vacation!
