    The city is definitely in its re-beautification era. All the major hotels and restaurants are open. The beach is as beautiful as ever. 5+++ can’t wait to go back again next year. Saw several dolphins while relaxing in the warm Gulf water. The beach really crowded on the weekends so prepare for that. Ive left reviews for this beach before but it was especially important to do so after the storms.

    This was our third year in a row we have stayed here in September.
    The room was fabulous with stunning views.
    The staff were so friendly and warm we have booked for our fourth year.
    The manageress, Sam and her assistant Vanessa bent over backwards.
    All of their staff were friendly.
    The roof bar “Jimmy’s crow’s nest was fantastic offering the most beautiful sunset ever.

    This park is a hidden gem in the Clearwater area. Parking costs are very reasonable. There are plenty of bathrooms which is always a priority. The water here is warm and beautiful. One highlight for us was seeing a number of dolphins leaping out of the water near sunset. It was a breathtaking sight.

    One word of caution…several times while we were playing in the water, we discovered areas where the bottom just disappeared. We were in waist-deep water, then one step later, even my nearly 6ft tall teenage son could not reach the bottom. We all swim so this was not a problem for us, but if you have littles ones or if you are not a particularly strong swimmer, I suggest extra caution at this beach.

    The seagulls had a very strong presence at this beach. They stole bites of my sandwich right out of my hand twice. The second time they appeared to be laughing at me. We definitely were not offering any food to those birds, but it is clear that others have.

    I would love to return to this beach. It is one of my favorites in Florida.

    I went with elderly parents. They conveniently provided a wheelchair (first come first served) but the young people who worked there twice made them walk or stand much longer than needed (probably because management tells them to enforce the rules strictly), yelled to each other while they were napping in a quiet corner, etc. Management might want to give workers more discretion/training for serving the disabled public because if you don’t have experience with the elderly you it’s not intuitive. Otherwise a nice excursion, though expensive. The VIP dolphins was up close and personal, really cool even from a wheelchair and made the visit quite special, but it was hard to hear (again, elderly issue) and super pricey. Food was excellent - menu looks like kids fare but the non-fried food was delicious and fresh and cheaper ordered in advance. Two days before Christmas was not a madhouse and we found a couple of quiet outdoor spaces to sit and relax in shade and sun. Signage is not perfect and layout is confusing but you get a good paper map that works ok with the signs. The boat tour we ended up skipping, but just note it’s like 25 people. The boat is covered from the sun.

    A beautiful day with a clean and safe walk. Police presence and security in surrounding areas to make tourists feel welcomed and safe. Love the white sand and the showers when done for the day, as well as bathrooms that were decent and well stocked.

    Nice little ride, staff were very friendly and we left exactly on time. Really convenient ride, much nicer than a trolley. Good price too.

    Perfect venue for a relaxing Friday night. Matt Frick provided the background music. I had Swamp Juice. A fruit infused yum not too dry or sweet or tart. No reservations were required. Only needed for the full tour and wine tasting experience. That's next for me. Little tricky to find but worth the search.

    Unexpected little tasting that was informative on fruit infused wine. I am not a raspberry fan but tried the chocolate raspberry port. Wonderful!

    Great venue for an up-close-personal feel. I’ll take a small auditorium over a big concert hall anytime. We had the pleasure attending Keb’ Mo’s performance.

    Great selection of stores. We like to see the merchandise and try it on before we buy things. too much hastle in on-line shopping and returning items.

    Very good venue. Saw a comedy show. No coffee either. Well…they did have coffee but I had to seek it out and a cup was four dollars. Ugh. The smell of theater popcorn was a bit nauseating. Staff was friendly and polite but could have used better quality concessions. Parking was free and easy, they also had Valet and it was within close proximity to the venue. Show was very good.
