About this resort
Newly remodeled and Tucked away from the hustle and bustle, in the Southshore area of Tampa Bay, this waterfront inn boasts beautiful views, a restaurant serving American-Caribbean fare and two pools to splash and swim in. Sunsets over the water are spectacular. Take them in by the Tiki bar with live music, from the pier, or at the onsite restaurant, Sunset Grill. You might even catch sight of a dolphin or manatee. This place is perfectly located between Tampa and Sarasota right on Tampa Bay. You'll enjoy access to a number of amenities including tennis courts, beach volleyball, 3 pools, 2 Jacuzzis, a Tiki Bar and more when you stay here! For an additional fee guests can access watersports activities, bike rentals. Hooks Restaurant offers poolside snacks, drinks and cocktails until 9:00PM. Go for a stroll through the tropical gardens or take a nap on the resort's private beach. If water sports are your thing, the resort offers a number of activities on-site including guided jet ski tours, kayaks, and paddle boating. After lounging at the beach, retreat to your air-conditioned LIVING SPACE. Curl up on the bed and enjoy your favorite shows on cable TV. In the early evening, step out onto the pier and enjoy the fresh air and the beautiful sunset. You can easily connect with friends and family back home, courtesy of the complimentary Wi-Fi. If you feel like venturing away from the resort, we suggest day trips to visit The Dali Museum, Busch Gardens, the Tampa Zoo, the Florida Aquarium, or The Alley, a bowling alley and arcade. If you want to dance the night away, we are just 30 minutes from Ybor City nightlife and South Howard neighborhood in Tampa. We also have children’s playground that is great for the little ones. There's something here for everyone! I look forward to booking with you and hope you enjoy your beach home away from home!

I've stayed at this motel a few times for business. Its main advantage is the location—very convenient for work, with beautiful water views on both the bay and river sides of the property. The highlight is definitely the two waterfront tiki bars and the on-site restaurant, which create a relaxing atmosphere after a long day.The rooms are all about the same size—clean but dated. Some have been updated, but others are still quite old. The bathrooms in particular leave a lot to be desired: they’re small, with outdated fixtures and an awkward shower design. You can’t turn on the water without getting wet at this particular room. Be prepared—this is more of a motel setup, not a full-service hotel. There’s no coffee or breakfast provided, so plan to bring your own or go out to eat.While the nightly rate seems low, there are additional fees (like cleaning, hosting and taxes) that add up quickly. Also, be aware that bookings are non-refundable. I originally booked for three nights but only needed two due to a change in plans—and unfortunately, I had to pay for all three.Overall, if it weren't for the view and the on-site tiki bars, I’d recommend looking elsewhere. But if location and a laid-back atmosphere are your priorities, it might be worth considering—with realistic expectations.
