The location, the staff, the view from the room’s balcony, the double king sized beds great for 4-guests, the closeness to the beach (although because of the unusual cold weather this Xmas season we weren’t able to enjoy the beach, pool nor amenities)
The pool and sun-bathing area are small compared to other beach resorts we’ve been to. The Spinners Revolving Restaurant is nice in terms of the view but the food wasn’t “wow” considering the prices. Also perhaps they’re understaffed during the holidays because every time we called Front Desk no one answered (never). If it wasn’t because we had the Concierge’s mobile who served as bridge via SMS, we wouldn’t have been able to contact the front desk unless you go downstairs to personally talk to them.

retro decorating.
I didn’t that there wasn’t an ice machine on each floor. I was disappointed that we had to give up our lounge chairs at 5. we wanted to stay on beach in comfort to watch sunset etc and no chairs. we had to lug chairs out of our car in parking and carry them to beach. I also think every resort should offer complementary coffee from 6-9 for guests who rise early and want a cup instead of paying 5$.

Location fine. A little overpriced
Employees were functional but no enthusiasm. When I booked I didn't realize a resort fee but I paid $45 extra then when I checked in I wasn't told the resort fee would cover a clamshell. I was there early at 1 and kind of rude person told me I would be called when room ready but waited to after 3. No light bulbs in lamps. 1chair on Unpainted balcony, and robots at service desk. Just needs some personable people and lower prices

Fabulous location, and the rooftop bar where you can watch the sunset is soooo good
no housekeeping which for a beach hotel very quickly becomes problematic with sand in your room etc extremely shortstaffed in reception and the beach bar causing excessively long waits for food or drinks

modern and clean. the beach is also very close.
the gym is off the property and a small hike to get to. Also, the elevator can take quite some time to arrive during the busy hours like check out.

Love the updated interior.. Location is ideal within walking distance of dining. Staff extremely accommodating
Bare necessities in room...tiny frig and no microwave..coffee pot was useless. Entrance to parking very dangerous. No lit sign , steep entrance, and landscape blocks view of southbound traffic.

My girlfriend and I stayed for one day , from June 3-4 . From the moment I checked in to the moment we checked out, we were treated very well by our concierge, Sean( spelling?) and staff! Sean even gave us a business card to Island Hoppers, a local shuttle service to a fun place downtown .They were prompt , professional , and very courteous! We took in the beautiful Sunset from the Rooftop Spinners Restaurant Bar & Grill ! when we returned from downtown , we informed Sean we are planning to jointly celebrate our birthdays in August and return to Bellwethers! He cheerfully encouraged us to contact him a week before our checkin and he would help with our stay! This was my first stay at Bellwether! My girlfriend had stayed on her own over 7 years ago . We are very much looking forward to returning in August!

Staff is is pretty nice and accommodating. Sorry i didnt know her name but she the girl with the tattoo. I got the room with two king beds so that is comfortable. Partial ocean view is pretty especially on the sides with the palms. location is pretty on the beach with walking distance to drugstores and grocery store.
Price is high while it is under renovation but they do waived the resort fee. They do renovation work during the day so expect noise if you stay there more than one night. It is not bad for us since we were up early.

LOCATION, STAFF WAS AWSOME EVERYONE WAS PLEASANT AND HELPFUL THE BEST OF ALL THE STAFF WAS ALWAYS AVAILABLE. Very clean room
My room could have used a microwave, the fridge could have been colder, and theirs only two elevators, and only one that's goes up the the 11th floor to the bar and restaurant. I went for a wedding, the plated food that was served was awful I hope the bride and groom was given a penthouse stay for that.

Views were in matched on St. Pete Beach. Bongo’s Beach Bar and Grill is the perfect place to relax with toes in the sand and have a bite and a cocktail. I recommend the Blue Burger with bacon jam. Wow! Bartenders are great and very attentive. Jordan and Shauna’s service at the bar was refreshing and uplifting!
My only recommendation would be to work on sanding down some of paint buildup over the years on the door to my room (719). I know the hotel is under new management and I think they are still doing improvements.
