Sirata St. Pete Beach

Not as clean or updated as presented online

Great location. Beach is only a few steps away.

While I understand we were here on a holiday weekend, the pool, restaurant, bar were overcrowded. It made the pool and pool deck dirty. The rooms in the “older” building (building number four) were outdated and quite dirty. The room was not cleaned the second day of our stay. However, the staff was very accommodating and polite and understanding of our concerns.

Wedding was great! But our room air conditioner died and i had to take a cold shower before the wedding! No hot water!

The beach

👍

When booking third party they will put you in room furtherest from the amenities that houses all their construction workers. Dampers and cheapens the experience.

We enjoyed the outdoor bar

I would say the only thing is the rum runner restaurant quality was not as expected and not for the price charged

Overall had an amazing stay.

I’ve stayed at Sirata 6–7 times over the past 10 years, and it’s usually great—but this most recent visit fell far short. Our room didn’t appear properly cleaned. The beds were made, but the floor, tub, and bathroom were noticeably dirty. We were also placed between rooms with older kids who ran between rooms, drank, and made noise outside our door until 3 a.m. After a sleepless night, we moved to a higher floor—losing our balcony. In the new room the sofa bed was broken, slanted, had a stained mattress, and came with no bedding. Getting bedding took over an hour. Staff said it couldn’t be provided at the desk but never delivered it, and I had to go back down to get it myself. The staff was rude, and the front desk phone was always busy. When it rained, water leaked through the exhaust fan in the ceiling. The property overall felt neglected: used vapes and soda cups stayed in elevators for days, and bags of mulch sat untouched in common areas. Sadly, we won’t be returning to Sirata. It’s disheartening to see the decline in cleanliness, service, and professionalism—especially with rising prices. We’ve made great memories here, but next time, we’ll stay elsewhere, like Tradewinds.

Our room we started at the doors to the balcony ocean view were broke & wouldn’t open, the maintenance man tried to fix but they went off track every time you tried to open & then couldn’t close them, we couldn’t use the balcony the first several days we were there nor see view we paid for. No one offered to move us, I’m a night person so I went down late night & spoke to a man overnight & he gave me several room keys until I was so frustrated I was about to ask for a refund & leave but then he handed me a key to a room that wasn’t a king suite but did have 2 queen beds & sliding balcony doors on the end of the unit so we stayed & it ended up being a decent room. He was very nice & helpful. However we only got housekeeping twice in the 5 nights we stayed & once we because we asked front desk and then a housekeeper & she said her English was bad & we said we need clean towels & have trash & that was all we got. The rooms are overpriced on the building 3 and 4 non remodeled rooms, they have sold the other remodeled building to Hilton. No help with bags/ no bellhop! Every sink was clogged up. 2 pools kids at both. The 2 restaurants are the same menus just on 2 different sides of the hotel & the third was closed for remodeling, so they really only have one restaurant. A bowel of cereal was $9.50 CB and FF was $20. No one told us how to get around I asked the cashier at a T-shirt shop next door. Call Island hoppers they are great for rides around they work on tips!

Thanks for everything

Although the staff was very good, the room was a disappointment. I booked a King suite with a Gulf view (I spoke to a hotel representative before the trip and obtained the room number 4545) the room we were given was different. The patio door wouldn’t open the front room door wouldn’t latch properly. The microwave didn’t work (they gave us a counter top one where the clock didn’t work. You could have pushed a piece of toast under the room door, the shelf in the bathroom that was meant to hold towels was gone. When you use a third party booking service (in my case Expedia) the property is less willing to resolve issues. Shout out to the Rum Runners staff especially Dominick and thanks to Mark and Derek at the front desk

Our 4th year staying at this res

Hotel is close to everything but is

Reasonably priced, excellent location

Well I didn't get to stay there. When I arrived I went to check in. I was told my card was being charged for $150 and when they tried to charge my card I was told it didn't work and to try it again so I did again it didn't work. They didn't tell me my card was declining they told me it didn't work. So I tried a different card it also didn't work. I checked my accounts and found both accounts with no money. There was two charges of $542 on one card and $186 charge on my other card but according to the hotel everything declined and they didn't charge me. So that totally ruined my weekend and my only chance to attend my high school reunion. Extremely not happy.

The property was still under renovation and in the process of being taken over by a new owner. We love the Sirata and have been going at least once a year for 20 years. We hope the new owners don’t change too much of the hotel we have come to love!

It is not what you think. Pictures make it look better than it is. We were so very disappointed, we even tried to get a refund…
