This was an overall great stay! Great location as well. When I checked in though, I was barely greeted by the front desk gentlemen- same thing when we checked out, same man- no smile, not even a peep so I was a little thrown off by that. The pool area was nice but inside the pool, the steps looked like they needed some scrubbing, almost like moldy so not the cleanest pool I’ve seen. The valet guys were AWESOME! All super nice and hospitable, offering waters every time we picked up our car. GREAT SERVICE BY THE VALET!
Clearwater beach in general was nice, but it wasn’t convenient that we had to go looking for beach umbrella rentals and chairs - we asked the only stand we found and they wanted to charge us $83 for 1 umbrella and 2 chairs for the day - insane! But I guess you should expect these costs in “touristy” areas - you’re better off buying an umbrella and sitting on your towel for your visit - would’ve definitely been cheaper.
