Sirata Beach Resort (St. Pete Beach, USA)

Sirata Beach Resort appears to be popular with families. Whether it's a kiddie cocktail or just a smile, staff here go out of their way to accommodate younger guests. Having said that, staff are noted for their friendliness to guests of all ages and their tactic seems to be working, with returning guests reporting that they enjoy the same warm welcome and standard of service year after year.

The hotel advertises that it is steps away from St. Pete Beach. Many were delighted to find that the hype is true and that the location is indeed very handy for the beachfront.

This resort is within walking distance of numerous local restaurants and shops, making it a convenient option if you don't want to move your car.

Though it has parking facilities, many found spaces to be in short supply. Those who did manage to park were unhappy at the associated fees they incurred during their stay.

Both externally and internally, the appearance of this hotel leaves a lot to be desired according to guests. Worn and tired, many likened it to a cheap motel. Quite a few visitors also commented on musty smells and odors in rooms, with some reporting stained carpets. Some guests also had problems with showers and water pressure. Weak Wi-Fi was also mentioned by some guests as a problem.

The staff here seem to be incredibly friendly and helpful - with the exception of those manning the reception desk apparently. Some visitors reported gruff welcomes which, very unfortunately, seem to have marred their entire stay here.
