We stayed in Penthouse #2 to celebrate our birthdays. Concierge Geoffrey was amazing at helping arrange balloons, cake, champagne etc. We enjoyed drinks on level 11 and a beautiful dinner at Spinners. The only downside was we woke up with numerous bites on our legs/ankles. We didn't see any bugs or fleas in our room but we did alert the hotel manager Shawn who said it was sand fleas in the room as they do migrate from the beach - even though we didn't go on the beach! This does raise a concern obviously as to how they got in our penthouse.

We rented a Penthouse suite and directly across from our door to our room was a very large deep fryer oil filtration system. It smelled like grease and there also was a ballroom on this floor for events, they had an event on Friday evening and they parked the food warming cabinet directly in front of our door to our room. Also the door for our room was very dirty and scifff marks all over it. I would not return to this property for the price I paid.

Our family really enjoyed our time here. Staff was amazing and kind. The property was really pretty and nicely located. Things that needed tlc, the king bed was sunk in the middle and so uncomfortable, wish front desk would have mention you need a reservation to eat on roof top, and the outside restaurant is awful. Bongos is horrible. The staff is rude, the don’t talk to you when you walk up and act like your an inconvenience.

(1) Informed upon check-in that housekeeping would only be provided every other day...we actually received housekeeping 1-time during our 4-day stay. (2) Generally speaking, the hotel is simply not clean. (3) Was a loud party in the neighboring room that started at 1am...seems to be a theme at this property with lots of guests carrying in boxes of liquor all day long...not very relaxing for other guests.

The staff were extremely friendly and helpful. This is a pleasant hotel to stay at with great service.

Great beach with plenty of cabanas. Outdoor dining w good food and speedy service. Attentive room service. Easy check in and out. Some of the halls and doors are quite dinged up and need attention. Someone lazily installed tv power cord in front of the hidden channel. Tile grout repair in shower sloppy.

We had a great time came here again!! This was once the plaza hotel which we stayed before also and our experience this time was even better. The whole hotel has been updated and all the bells and whistles are offered it was such a great beach vacation with our family of 5!! It is truly 5 stars from every way possible stay here and you will not be disappointed!! Till the next time st Pete’s and the bellwether hotel

Very friendly staff and great service. It was nice being right by the beach. They also had live entertainment every night. Great place to stay!!!

Staff were very helpful and pleasant. Hotel is nice for its age. Food was very good at all bars, room service and restaurants. Bed was very comfortable. Beach was nice and beach staff were great.

The hotel has communication problems with its various departments. We were provided conflicting information about amenities, room quality, and reservations. The front desk was dismissive of our concerns.

Good location with a large variety of shops, bars andrestaurants. Staff was very friendly. We're already planning on our next visit.

This hotel has been recently renovated and is so cool, with the retro and midcentury decor. There is not a bad view. The heated pool at 88 degrees was great for the chilly night. Bongos restaurant downstaird on the beach has yummy food. We'll stay again for sure!

The property itself is a little dated, but find. The staff made several negative comments about the management that felt inappropriate to share with a guest and made me uncomfortable. The WiFi does not work. I was placed in a different room type than I booked, but they refused to refund the difference.

Property is dated; staff is very kind; Rooms SMALL for the price. 'gym' is open membership to a gym in a ***** mall 1 mile down the road. OK hotel - expect more for the price.

I just returned home from vacation at a little slice of heaven, Bellwhether Beach Reoirt. While the resort is older, it has been updated with a modern vibe. My room and property were extremely clean thanks to hard workers like Levenia and Gene. Check-in was smooth and welcoming. Front desk staff like Tati and Leigh were accommodating and friendly. While the pool is not that large, there is a whole ocean and beach with beautiful sand with lounge chairs and cabanas included in resort fee. Plenty of seating everywhere. The resort also boasts Bongos, a great beach bar with delicious handmade drinks and friendly service, thanks to people like Vanessa and Shawna. Open for breakfast, lunch and dinner, bongos offers a wide variety of appetizers, handhelds, salads and entrees. Sam offers service with a smile and attentiveness. Bongos also offers entertainment in afternoon and evening. Looking for something a little more upscale? Try Spinners at the resort. While I did not eat there, the restaurant gets great reviews. Looking for a relaxing co*cktail with a perfect view? Lvl11 is an open air bar on the 11th floor with great co*cktails and photogenic view. Thanks to all the staff and management for a relaxing, pleasant experience. I will be back.
