As a wedding planner Carly David and the management entire team at Sky Beach resort have been phenomenal to work with. They are so responsive and literally go above and beyond each and every time. They think about everything and the clients and their whole experience. They Re hands-down one of the best resorts and management team. Check them out for sure. read more

Amazing, beautiful resort! The decor is modern design. Rooms are up to date. There's a coffee shop, a fine dining restaurant, and a beach bar available. They offer weekly shows and yoga. 2 pools and a hot tub. Right on the water with kayaking and paddle boats available. This resort is also dog friendly! Perfect for just relaxing and unwinding with loved ones, friends, couples or solo. The staff is amazing! Definitely check this place out! read more

Do no stay here. This is a glorified run down motel. When we decided to not stay and leave the guy infront said "okay but you're not getting a refund" when I didn't ask for a refund because I felt bad not staying but I was also not going to stay in a room where it looks run down and nor did I feel comfortable. No sense of compassion from their staff. Very poor service even when we checked in the girl was very serious not welcoming what so ever. Never book a stay here, the pictures are misleading and catfishing people is probably the only way they're still in business. If I could rate it zero stars I so would. read more

I had such a wonderful experience at Sky Beach Resort! The oceanfront view was absolutely beautiful, and the resort had so much to do. They offer complimentary paddle boarding and have tons of sports options -- pickleball, volleyball, and tennis courts included. There are two pools and a hot tub, and one of the pools is heated, which made for the most relaxing evenings. Inside the resort, there's a cozy coffee shop, a restaurant, and a bar. The strawberry lemonade from the SkyBar was absolutely amazing -- definitely a must-try! The staff were incredibly kind and helpful throughout the whole stay, which made everything even better. One of the cutest surprises was seeing little lizards running around the property -- it gave the place such a tropical, lively feel! The only sad part was when they put blockades up in the swimming area the same day we saw dolphins visiting there. Overall, I'd 100% come back again. Sky Beach Resort has the perfect mix of relaxation, fun, and great service. read more

The Day Passes were sold out for the day we wanted for access to the pool, so we decided to try the cabana day bed for 6 people. It included waters, a bottle of wine and a fruit platter which was nice however a $350 cabana bed for 6 people was shockingly small. The listing says we would receive 6 liquid death waters and we only received 3. The actual bed itself was dirty with lots of stains, so if you choose this option- definitely bring your own towel or blanket to put down. I didn't like that I had to leave my things at the bed to access the pool. So our bucket sat in the hot sun while we were at the pool. I feel like there should be some type of table or a shade over the bucket of drinks. It's better to get this if you're there for drinks and to listen to the DJ/swim in the bay. Proximity to the pool isn't ideal. The coffee place Paradecco is awesome! I recommend trying a coffee and food from there. read more

Stayed here with immediate and extended family between Christmas and New Year. From the outside the resort isn't fancy, but the back grounds and private beach are very nice. The beach setup, cabanas, daybeds, and food/drink service to the beach were great, and we enjoyed seeing dolphins and wildlife. There are lots of activities available, including kayaks, paddleboards, bikes, tennis, and pickleball. Rooms were clean but basic with a bit of a motel feel since they are accessed from outside. Bathrooms were nicely updated, but the beds were very small. Housekeeping did not service our room at all during our 2-night stay. Front desk communication was inconsistent regarding room placement and early check-in, and some included or advertised amenities (welcome champagne, hot tub, sunrise yoga) were unavailable. The absolute highlight of the resort was Jamie. She was incredibly attentive, friendly, and hardworking, helping us with activities, moving chairs so our family could sit together, taking photos, and keeping the grounds clean. She truly made our stay special. Overall, we had a good time spending quality time with family, and as long as expectations are set for comfortable--but not luxury--accommodations, this can be an enjoyable stay. read more

We stayed at Sky Beach Resort while in town for a friend's engagement party at a nearby country club. Since our whole group was staying here, it was convenient, and I really liked the idea of an all-inclusive setup. Once you're on the property, it's much nicer than it first appears. The resort is well maintained and offers a good variety of amenities -- a couple of pools (including an adults-only one), pickleball courts, a sandy beach area, a nice bar, and a lively music space. Our main issue was that our room faced the hot tub area, and the noise went on late into the night. Unfortunately, we didn't get much sleep. To their credit, the management handled it well and refunded half of our stay, which I really appreciated. Still, I think they could improve by having security or staff walk the property at night to help maintain a quieter environment. On the positive side, the little café on-site was a pleasant surprise -- I enjoyed a great cappuccino there in the morning. The resort has also been redone since the last hurricane, and the updates look beautiful. Overall, Sky Beach Resort has a lot to offer and shows real potential. I just wish our experience was a bit better! If you're planning a stay, I'd recommend requesting a room away from the hot tub area for a more restful experience. read more

We were absolutely delighted to enjoy a day at SkyBeach by using Resort Pass. It's not the most glitz n glamour hotel but every single corner of this place is utilized in the most adorable fashion. Everywhere you go, you stumble upon decorated nooks and trendy sitting areas. It was a weekday when we visited and not very busy at all. As the afternoon went on it got busier but never had to compete for seating. They have plenty of lounge chairs and umbrellas on the beach with towels available. Two food options. An adorable cafe in which we ordered a surprisingly above average breakfast from. The restaurant/bar is open to the water with high tops and lounge areas. Sam was a killer bartender, super accommodating and personable. The upstairs of the restaurant was not open which was a little disappointing but didn't damper our experience. I loved that they had floats in the water, as well as, complimentary kayaks and paddle boards to use. We were able to try paddle boarding for the first time and even saw a dolphin nearby! read more

I traveled to St. Petersburg for a quick work event and stumbled upon this absolute gem. One of my favorite things about exploring Florida is how it still manages to surprise me with its beauty--and SkyBeach delivered on every level. As someone who's always on the hunt for healthy options while traveling, I was thrilled by the on-site juice bar with fresh smoothies and pastries, plus the Sky Deck's mahi-mahi fish tacos were chef's kiss. The staff struck that perfect balance of friendly and professional--warm, relaxed, and genuinely welcoming. Even though I was only there for two nights, it felt like a full-on mini vacation. It's a fantastic property, an excellent event venue, and a place I'd wholeheartedly recommend whether you're traveling for work or pleasure. read more

We went to The SkyBeach Resort to hear a Zac Brown cover band and I must say I was very impressed with all of it. The hotel/bar has been renovated since hurricane Helene and they did a fantastic job especially with the bar/stage area. You'll find a sandy beach in front of the stage with comfy wooden chairs as well as cushioned sofa areas you can rent; there's also plenty of table seating around the bar upstairs and down. It's next to I-275N the first exit on the right after the skyway. The two story bar has views all around with its wrap around porch, perfect for sunset views and people watching. The bartenders work very efficiently and friendly while making tasty effective drinks. We did not order food so I cannot speak on that. Perhaps next time we will try the food. read more

The food at SkyBeach Resort is horrible, the stay is way overpriced, and the place looks disgusting. The staff is rude and clearly don't know how to cook properly. I asked for a medium-rare steak and it was not cooked correctly at all. This resort is WAY too overpriced for the quality you actually receive. Save yourself the time and money and stay somewhere else -- somewhere you can enjoy your food and not waste a lot of money on something that should cost a third of the price. read more

The property is beautiful, however, the service is terrible! The staff is great! But the parking is a mess as I arrived. There was no parking and I had to valet park and then the next morning I couldn't get my car because the valet wasn't there at 9 o'clock in the morning! Then they say that there are paddle experiences available, we didn't see it, they also claimed that they had live music on the weekends and they were canceled because of a wedding party! They charged us over $200 in resort fees, which we didn't get any benefit from whatsoever. This place is a rip off. read more

First time here last night to hear a band and was amazed about how cool this place is. My new favorite music venue by far. I am local, but will probably book a room to stay here. Watched two cruise ships go under the skyway bridge... Very cool! Bartenders are very nice and reasonably priced drinks. read more

I want to preface this that we didn't stay overnight at Sky Beach, so I can't comment on the sleeping accommodations, but we did a day pass through Resort Pass and used all of their amenities! First off, check in was a breeze. The person at the front desk that helped us was friendly and helpful. Quick wrist bands, and we were off to the pool! We ordered breakfast and coffee from Paradeco, and they delivered our food right to our pool chairs! They also had some noodles and floats to use which was great! There were plenty of chairs available at both the pool and beach on a Thursday, although it might be more crowded on the weekends. The bar staff we encountered was very friendly, and the food was decent as well - they have a limited beach bar menu but it satisfied us! They also have kayaks and paddle boards available for use for free which was awesome! All in all, 5 stars from me, would definitely do another resort pass day here. read more

My first stay in a resort close to the water in Florida, It was amazing. The service was excellent, the staff very helpful, friendly and pleasant. The room was as comfortable as it should be.

The DJ at Skybar has one record. He loves his record and will play it over and over again all day starting at 10am. His record is techno and absolutely appropriate for a relaxing day an a luxury beach resort*. The DJ loves sharing his record so much that he turns it up to ELEVEN so that you, your family, your dog, and all the neighbors within a five mile radius can hear it and love it as much as he does. And the bar patrons do love it because they are drunk on overpriced drinks (don't forget your CC, this place won't take cash!). They won't remember the record, but you and all the neighbors within a five mile radius will. It will follow you home. You will hear it in your dreams. And the DJ will be happy while you swear you'll never come back. *highway exit motel read more

READ THE UPDATE AT THE END: I am so disappointed in my stay here. My entire family and I booked here for my dad's bday. We booked 4 rooms for 3 nights and also paid for a boat slip to have our boat in the marina. All I'm going to say is, after spending literally thousands of dollars at this resort eating here everyday, staying for 3 nights, paying for marina, all of It... after we checkout, the next day I have a charge of $140 from the resort. I call, wondering what that could be. They say they charged me for unreturned pool towels.... I explain that I didn't take any towels home and I did return them. They continue to argue that the machine that dispenses the towels does not account for 5 of the ones I supposedly used. I ask to speak to the manager and explain how It seems a bit unfair that after spending so much money at this resort I would be charged $140 for something as stupid as cheap scratchy beach towels. They are still insisting I took these towels home LOL... so I ask to speak to the managers boss and this man wants to do an investigation on the towels. Me and my family spent so much money here and they are relentless in wanting to charge me the $140 for some towels. My mind is BLOWN. We WERE going to make It a regular occurrence to stay here since we can bring the boat and It is not far from us but between our rooms being 3 hours late to be ready, the food being eh, and the $140 for some towels??? We will find somewhere else. UPDATE- I was contacted by the director of operations and was told IF I remove my review he will refund me the $141 and only when he sees It gone. it should be refunded regardless of whether a guest leaves a review. Conditioning a refund on removing honest feedback just shows what kind of company they are. They can keep their $141. Hope this reviews helps many not make this mistake read more

This hotel set up a private party with amplified music ten feet from my door. Seriously. Ten feet. Place has paper thin walls so I had to leave the room I paid for in order to escape the pounding music and literal screaming of the partygoers. They barred me from even using the sidewalk outside my door and made me walk through the sand to get to the lobby. When I complained at the front desk they just blamed it on their "sales team". Screw me, I guess for staying there. Was thinking it would be a home base for visiting a family member in the area but I will never, ever step foot in this place again. I feel like it's my mission now to make sure you don't either. Total failure of your basic duty as a hotel to give people a room they can relax in. Awful. Terrible. Stay away. read more

$700 resort fee after the room fee. Both rooms were not ready by 4. Front desk workers rude. Save your time and money.

I visited the new Sky Bar at The SkyBeach Hotel & Marina to see one of my favorite bands, No Filter play. The band started at 6:00pm. As I walked from the parking lot along the beach, it was so cool to be able to see the beautiful grounds and beach in the daylight and at night. The first stop was to grab a drink. The Sky Bar is 2 levels, with a large bar upstairs. On this Saturday night they also had a small pop up bar set up with limited choices on the first level. We started a tab downstairs and were able to also use it for our food and drinks upstairs. They had some drink specials, and we really loved the Spicy Mango Mule. My husband ordered chicken tenders and fries, which came from a food truck like setup downstairs. It was really yummy. The Sky Bar has an incredible view from the upstairs. We saw a cruise ship sailing by and the Skyway Bridge as well as the band playing on the stage down below. I love that the ground surrounding the stage is sand, which is so much fun to dance in. There were also lots of nice chairs behind the dance area for people who just wanted to relax and enjoy the band. There were many different areas all around to sit and enjoy a beautiful night out. The atmosphere and lighting was such a fun, unique, beautiful, and relaxing vibe. We will definitely be back again soon. read more

Editing my review . Came a few days later as I live in the neighborhood . Staff was very rude during the day the manager could not have been bothered . Will chalk it up to still learning their rhythm . They can't figure out what their vibe is supposed to be . Gift shop is $400 dresses , but the bar is giving Jersey shore vibes . Still rude and act like you're bothering them being there . Their drinks are sub par , made very poorly with sugary ingredients ( mixures only ) , no fresh ingredients to be seen like fresh lime juice, mint , etc . I really wanna like it and make it our spot , but unless the staff and quality improves we won't be back very often. Potential is there , but I'd get it in check before people aren't willing to return . read more

Watch out !! This place is such a mess! Under construction and complete liars!!! They do not honor your reservation, and will ask you to leave if they don't like you.

Beautifully landscaped, friendly staff great location to just relax and enjoy the amazing views while sipping a cocktail and munching on a bite or two Whether you are a local stopping by for happy hour, or enjoying a day pass of amenities or a guest of the hotel, it's a great spot to feel "transported" Highly recommend! read more

OMG, what a joke. Paying $450 a Night at the grand opening of this 2-3 star hotel supposed to be at least 4 stars. Ridiculous. No real restaurants on site. A food truck which took forever to get our food and was horrible. The sea view I booked is simply not up to my standards. Barely a sea view. The room is stuffy and musty. It was my girlfriend's 60th birthday. I am So disappointed. I Would totally steer clear of this place. Update: it's Saturday evening and we are trying to relax and we absolutely cannot due to the extremely loud music blaring on stage. I am beyond appalled at this travesty masquerading as a luxury hotel. Never got our room cleaned and the front desk never answered the phone. It took 5 minutes for security to pick up. I am beyond angry at having spent so much money to have such a horrible experience. read more

I wish I could give this place zero stars! Do not stay here if you value your health, sanity, and wallet! stayed here with a group for a college reunion.

Stayed in a 2-br suite for birthday celebration with kids. The shared living room between the two bedrooms was great - allowing both the kids & the adults plenty of their own space to enjoy! The Jetski company staff was great as were the folks at the Skybar each day we stopped thru! Awesome views from the Skybar & the private beach... included dolphins, the Skyway Bridge (all lit up at night), beautiful boats coming in to use their marina and some big cruise ships headed to & from the Port in Tampa :) read more

Stay Away! The service is a disgrace especially from front desk worker Marina! Booked hotel rooms months in advance, received confirmation and showed up to find out they were not due to " technical issues " Well that's funny because people were in that room. Long story short, they are dishonest and Marina is extremely unprofessional and condescending. Also, that promised refund still has NOT shown up. How is this place still in business?? Horrible Motel read more

Hi, still waiting on a call back from the manager and as expressed to both James & Marina, Room 315 had no hot water in the shower and had no way to turn down the thermostat so I slept in a boiling hot room at night and took cold showers. Really really would like a refund! Had to leave at 11pm and drive 4 hrs home didn't even stay the last night since nothing was fixed. Apparently the AC can not be turned down. The temperature on the thermostat was no accurate either. Please advise as to the status of my refund thank you. read more

I did all my homework before I booked this hotel. Read all the reviews, looked at all the photos. Thought I was getting a decent hotel at a good rate. Wrong! I paid in full for my trip months ahead of time and they stole my money, and left us with nowhere to stay 20 hours from home. Our family drove to FL for spring break from IN (about 20 hrs with traffic). Our first stop was Margaritaville Orlando and discovery cove (both were wonderful!). Our next stop, and what was supposed to be the rest of the trip, we headed to St. Pete and Skybeach Hotel. Supposed to stay 3/24-3/29. I PAID IN FULL back in January for the reservation. I receive a text that it's time to check in, so I do (it's an online check in) and I screenshot the confirmation of our check-in. You never need to see a 'live' person because the room key is on the phone app - you just hold the phone to the door and the door fob unlocks. Of course you can do an in-person check in but it's not needed. Not the hotel's business if I sleep in the room, on the beach, at a bar, or in a theme park...it's paid for and I checked in. I got it all set up, no problem. We end up spending another night in Orlando because it's a ton of driving for us and we are tired. On 3/25 we start making our way to St. Pete. I receive an e-mail (no phone call, no text, nothing else, even though text had been their primary method of communication up to this point. No curtesy call whatsoever). Thank goodness I even checked my e-mail on vacation! Anyway, the e-mail says they cancelled my reservation!!! I immediately called the front desk and said that I did not cancel, and to please fix it! I was about half hour away having lunch at a restaurant with my family. The lady on the phone said they had cancelled my reservation because I "didn't check in". I told her that yes I did, I had the confirmation, and I needed the hotel room - were we supposed to sleep on the beach?? AND I had paid in full for the entire reservation back in January! She was not apologetic at all and simply said "We cannot accommodate you". EXCUSE ME? I was panicking but very polite and told her I did not understand how they could just give my room away, especially after I had paid in full. She just replied "We cannot accommodate you. It's policy". So apparently in the mere moments between that e-mail and my phone call, they gave the room to someone else, and refused to undo that action. The front desk staff person even admitted that the hotel purposely double books people. What?? She refused to refund my money so I could try and find somewhere else to sleep. So they kept my money as well as having another person pay them to stay in the room. (they said the hotel was "full" so if that were true they were double-billing for the same room!) When I showed up in person at the front desk, they pretended to refund my credit card for one night "for the inconvenience" and "to give me time to find other accommodations". Turns out they frauded that too - I checked my statement and they charged my card for the one night then refunded the charge to make it look on their screen and receipt that it was a refund. Regarding the hotel and grounds, I'd like to also share an honest opinion for the single night we did stay at the property. Let me put it this way - their 'cancellation' was probably the best thing they could have done for us! We were in a room with 2 beds meant for 4 people (2 adults 2 young kids) but the beds were so small they must've been full size beds (not queen or doubles). My husband said his pillow smelled like old sweat and perfume. It was very noisy - you can tell this was an old motel they tried to clean up. There must be no insulation/soundproofing - you can hear everything in the other rooms and when people walk by your door. The resort itself was tiny, as was their private beach area, and the swimming area at the beach was very small as well. You can't go past the designated area as it is an active marina and you'll get hit by boats crossing. We did not eat at the hotel, but the drinks we had were fine. It looks like the only food option is a food truck, and there is nothing else close so plan on driving everywhere. The drink menu had at least 4 'special seasonal' cocktails they were advertising that they did not have ingredients for. We used the heated pool which was small but fine. The hot tub was absolutely tiny and smelled like straight urine - it was so bad the kids would not get near it. Very glad we had to move to another hotel (rumfish beach hotel was amazing). read more

I was so excited for this place to open! They have no clue what their vibe is. Luxury hotel, no. Friendly bartenders, no. Loud techno music that doesn't belong at a beach bar, yes. Overpriced drinks with 18 percent gratuity added automatically, yes. Credit cards only, no cash accepted, yes. Who's managing this place? Visit local establishments and select how to run a business and try again. read more

The noise at 10:30 at night is a joke, if you have children, not a place to go if you care about their hearing. Also, keep a copy of your reservation with the price, as they charge your card for the normal rates. Also the bar does not use your room key, you need a credit card for food and or drinks. Their is no restaurant , they have a food truck, and for using the food truck they charge you 18% for taking an order. They did have awesome fireworks and they have a get your own breakfast in the morning, the bad part, they do not tell you, we found out by pure accident . We realize it was their grand opening, but they should have waited until things were all put together. The noise at night was so loud, i am sure they could hear the music for miles. We MIGHT try them in maybe 6 months, but we will look at other ratings to see if they inproved. read more

After a flight delay, we decided to eat the cost of this fairly expensive resort so the kids could swim and decompress after a long day. It took us nearly 2 hours to check in given that the front desk attendant gave us the wrong key three different times (keys that were activated to open other rooms). When we finally got into our room (which was supposed to be a double), they told us we couldn't have the rooms we'd booked, and they were going to block off one (which would not have been enough beds for our family of 6). Also, the couch bed didn't have sheets. I went back to the front desk to request them and was given a large bag of sheets, blankets and pillows to carry across the property to our room. By the time we got it all worked out, the kids were crying, because we couldn't take them to swim and were "the worst parents ever." The next morning, we asked for a late checkout given all of the confusion and our inability to use the resort amenities (e.g., two beautiful pools), but they declined. Not because they were full either. The place is under construction, and there were barely any other guests. It's a shame, because the property itself is lovely and could be a real gem once their construction is complete and they get some basic customer service issues resolved. read more

The hotel itself is nice. They have a bar that's open till 10 and a nice beach and a wonderful little café to eat breakfast and have very healthy food but the people that work at the desk they can't make a decision on whether or not we could plug in our van for an hour or two they have to call the manager and nobody's gotten back to us so that's important for us to be able to plug-in. You do have refrigerator so if you don't need to plug anything and you don't need any extras I'd say yeah this place is OK but it's it goes down on my list because the top place for me is a place that will let me plug in after I pay all this money For an app for an hour to charge up my little battery so do I give it a 10 I give the restaurant at 10 I give the bar at 10 do I give the hotel to 10 I give it a two it seems like I might be a little rough, but really what matters is us and how they've been to us each individual and each person that checks into a hotel has different wants and needs and ours just happens to be for a one hour two hour plug-in which they couldn't provide so I don't give it a high rating nobody ever got back to us with an answer yes or no from the person that was working the desk and that was in the morning and at night read more
