Sirata Beach Resort

We stayed at Sirata during the end of August for 3 nights. This is definitely one of the best properties on St. Pete Beach and the Gulf! It’s updated and absolutely beautiful! You can see the ocean and sunset from the pool which is stunning. You can walk straight out to the beach, it is just perfect! The staff is AMAZING!! They are so pleasant, helpful and welcoming. I am a single momma of 5 beautiful kiddos ages ranging from 17-7, with twins being the youngest. All the kids loved the resort, we stayed at Tradewinds and we may have liked Sirata a bit better. The renovations is great! We were upgraded to a room that had bunk beds and the kids LOVED IT!! Very perfect trip here!! Thank you!

Checkout at 4:00 took one hour, standing in line with no directions or helpful staff. It took me 10 minutes to find a parking. Parking is a problem at this hotel. It is always full. They don't help you with requests. I booked an oceanfront view weeks ago, and I requested high floor. I got second floor on the front building. Of course, beautiful view, but the room has not been updated. I have stayed at the back building in a high floor, and those rooms are updated. Housekeeping and covid sanitation were bad. I had to remove the shower curtain myself and request a new one. It was moldy and dirty. It has not been changed in weeks. The tv didn't work either, we had to call twice to get it working. You pay an expensive resort fee which includes cabanas. We went earlier one morning, and of course we seat on the front row. 30 minutes later a staff member came to us to tell us if we were going to pay the $20 fee for front cabana. I told the staff member we paid a resort fee for the cabana. He told us the free cabanas are for second, thirs, forth, etc row. No for the first row. Then I had to move to the other rows because I refused to pay more more money on the day I was checking out. It was ridiculous and disappointing. Also, the cabanas close at 5:00 PM. Are you kidding me? Sunset was at 8:20 PM. Then i look at other hotels on the sides and they cabanas were open until sunset is over. It is ridiculous that you book an oceanfront hotel, so you can see the sunset, then you have to get out of your chairs and get on the sand because the staff has to go. I had stay several times at this property, and this one was the worst experience at all. It is overpriced. I used to love this property, but after this trip I would not come back.

I had to find a different hotel for the night because the other hotel I visited was not clean at all. Exhausted from traveling, I searched the web and it brought me to Sirata Beach Resort. I located the resort within 15 minutes, drove up to the front desk, booked a room and received my room key within 20 minutes. The check-in process, for this exhausted and hungry traveler was seamless and efficient. I loved the room! Decor was so nice, the room was super clean, and very spacious! Beds were soooo soft and comfortable! I'd definitely return here when visiting St. Pete Beach again. I unfortunately did not get to enjoy the other amenities, such as the pool and beach side, due to attending a wedding the next morning. I'm sure that would have been LOVELY. I hope to enjoy it ALL next time. I highly recommend staying here!
