    Casual beach resort in beautiful St. Pete Beach. They have a sports bar, beach bar and a couple of pools. The resort is directly on the beach so you're just a few steps away from the ocean and powdery sand. We even had a dolphin sighting while we were there. The rooms are clean and comfortable. Jimmy B's Beach Bar was just a few steps from our room and offered casual food like burgers and chicken tenders. There is live acoustic music during the day and at night it turns into a popular beach nightclub. My favorite part about Beachcomber was the proximity to a nice stretch of St. Pete Beach.

    The king sized bed

    After reading some of the reviews on here, I was worried about staying here. Yes, it is an older hotel, but it has some positive features. Number one--it has great access to the beach. On the beach, you get a cabana or chairs with umbrellas. The guys out there are very friendly and accommodating. The room itself is nice. There are chairs outside so you can sit and look at the beautiful courtyard. The bathroom is small and awkward. A definite throwback from when it was built. Our room was clean and smelled nice. I will say that most beach hotels are somewhat dated, but I feel this place has tried to keep up with the times.

    Pathetic paint job

    Have stayed many times over the past 20 years. The hotel has recently been renovated. However, the renovation job that was done is less than acceptable for the rates charged!! The exterior of the building is still in desperate need of cleaning and painting in several areas. The bathrooms need further renovation. Paint was peeling off bathroom door etc. Also, bathroom fixtures etc looked as if they hadn't been cleaned prior to our arrival. Jimmy B's is still a fun place with great entertainment. However, they now offer a limited menu with many popular items from the previous menu eliminated. Also, we were disappointed in the quality of the food we ordered. Coconuts, next door, had awesome food in comparison.

    DIRTY!!!HAIR ON SHOWER WALL I decided to come to the beachcomber on a trip with my family. But unfortunately was disgusted when I got here starting off, we had to park across the street from the resort(if you can even call it that). Which may not be a problem for some but lugging your luggage back was a pain. Especially with a five year old. One of the pools was closed due to renovation, in compensation free cabana at the beach, but it's first come first serve. Which was a little bit disappointing... so we decide to go to the other pool that was open and it was tiny, packed, and covered in sand at the bottom, and just dirty. After the pool, we came back to relax and rinse off. But was extremely disappointed to say the least to find HAIR ON THE SHOWER WALL. There was also hair on the couches and pillows. After words go to turn on the TV and enjoy...but there was no signal for the TV. Extremely disappointed beachcomber.

    The rusty wall in the bathroom entry

    I have stayed at this resort 8 times in the past 7 years. The quality of the features of this resort have all gone down hill. The rooms have been remodeled to a very low level of expectation. They do not clean your room during your stay. You have to change your own sheets if you request new bedding. We did not have our trash removed or towels refreshed unless we called For the service. The room was not swept of sand during our 4 night stay. The drinks at Jimmy Bs beach bar had very little alcohol in them. I called the bartender out on a rum runner i watched her make. She said that they are out of dark rum and it costs a $1 extra for it. I said a rum runner calls for dark rum so it should not cost extra and if you are out of dark rum then take the drink off the menu. The front desk is also not monitoring the issuing of wrist bands like they used to. This makes it easier for people to reserve their beach cabanas even if they are not guests. What has happened to the management of this property? I'm so disappointed.

    See all

We were excited to discover that the hotel is just a short walk away from one of our favorite beaches, Upham beach, which made the trip even more special. The property had a fun South Beach feel with plenty of seating to socialize, a cute pool with bright flamingo floats, a hot tub, and a great outdoor pool bar. Natalia was a great bartender, she was friendly and gave the most awesome recommendations off the menu. She did not miss a beat! Randy was a fantastic host. He was in communication via text as soon as the room was ready and greeted us immediately as we arrived on the property which does not require you to check in as they send you your room number and code to get in. In the room they also leave all important information including your parking pass and two complimentary drink tickets for a convenient arrival no matter what time you get in. Our room was clean, modern, and comfortable, with a king bed, updated bathroom, big-screen TV, and a convenient kitchenette. There were complimentary mimosas in the lobby each morning. They even have a wonderful restaurant on the 2nd floor, 82 Degrees, where we enjoyed most of our meals for the weekend.

Unfortunately, the noise level significantly impacted our stay. We were in Room 28, and directly behind the room is a hallway used by staff from the upstairs bar. Throughout the first night, we heard a heavy door repeatedly slamming and staff using rolling carts to transport trash. The noise continued until about 3:00 a.m., making it very difficult to sleep. The next morning, I expressed my concerns to the front desk. He was polite, apologized, and said he would pass the information along. However, the noise resumed again the following night. Around 11:30 p.m., I stepped into the hallway and observed someone pulling trash on one of the carts; they did not appear interested in engaging when I tried to address it. Closer to midnight, after another loud door slam, I spoke with a different staff member who was very receptive and respectful. After that conversation, the noise level did decrease. I understand that hotel operations continue behind the scenes, but for a property positioned as an upscale boutique experience, I would expect better late-night noise control -- especially in rooms directly adjacent to service areas. The hotel has a lot of potential, and the cleanliness was excellent. However, due to the repeated overnight noise disruption, I would be hesitant to stay in that location of the property again.

The service in this hotel is very good overall. The pools and the beach are superb. We chose this resort as a special anniversary vacation, and this is part of the lower review. We ultimately felt the hotel discount promotion and phone sales was misleading. Ambiguous communication led us to believe we would receive a free night, however we later realized and were told that the discount was already built in to our price, although no sign of discount was found anywhere on our invoice. I'm self employed and I've managed business for 35 years, and I've not seen discounts that don't show on an invoice. Se beware of promotional discount offers as it may not be what you expect, and you'll be left with no way to disprove the phantom discount because it's not on your invoice, apparently is just spoken. Overall service was very good. We had a minor blip in the maritana, which was the wrong dessert brought to us, and presented as "happy anniversary" with a chocolate that said that, but was strangely charged to us. The waitress handled it like a pro. I would advise the chef to either ignore birthdays and anniversaries and that sort of thing, or offer a small free dessert. But definitely don't bring out a "happy anniversary" dessert then charge for it. Also had overcooked hard poached eggs at the society table - no big deal just no runny yolk. If not for the price, who cares? But with such a great menu and fantastic chef, they should get eggs right. No discount offered. But I ate it so... All of our food was great, and really well developed and complete dishes as if it were Michelin rated. Cheers to the chef. Just two very minor fails. Overall it was a nice stay but we won't go back mainly because ultimately they didn't step up over a $600ish discrepancy over a 5 night stay. Look at my reviews. It's very rare I don't write 5 stars. I'm not one of those people that gives a bunch of bad reviews. The highlight of this resort is the beach, the pools, and the menu. Service is good overall. So definitely some good.

I was glad to snag a room at an extremely reasonable rate on a Saturday night. I was skeptical because I'm afraid of rat holes and after reading up on reviews anywhere I could find them, I decided to give it a shot. It's in a great location, directly next to the Undertow and just a couple of blocks from Smileys Snack Shack, what else do you need? The room is dated, the bathroom is tiny, but it has a kitchenette with 2 burner stove and a fridge, microwave, coffee maker, pots and pans, plates glasses, silverware.... Anything you might need for a long weekend or longer stay. And it's CLEAN! The pool is small, but it's nice, there's a covered pavilion there as well if you want to stay out of the sun and overlooks the beach and ocean. That's all you need! Only one car per room. If you have more than one car for your room, offsite parking is a nightmare, but it can be done. I only spent one night, but I would consider returning. I just wish they'd do something about those curtains!

That's about it for the positives. It is a VERY dated hotel so if you like fresh and new, look at the 2014-opened Hotel Zamora a hundred yards down Gulf Blvd, however it is not beachfront, so that's its huge problem. The rooms here you can tell have seen some better years with patches and paint easily spotted on the walls. The appliances in the kitchenette are very old but perfectly functional if you want to enjoy a week on the beach without the expense of going to restaurants for every meal. If you're wanting to catch a football game on TV, better to visit a bar because the rooms still have old school tube televisions. The front desk is not staffed 24x7, so there are restrictions on check in and check out times to keep in mind. My only real complaint about this place is security. The room I stayed in had broken locks on at least two of the windows making it impossible to lock them. The door locks still use traditional keys, so who knows if someone has copied yours in the past. The rooms on the south side of the property (not sure about the north side) have a sidewalk area and second door on that back side exiting from the bedroom; it would be easy for someone to break into the room from that site without it being very obvious. So if you have some true valuables, you probably won't feel comfortable leaving them in the room. I'm not sure if the front desk has some more secure method of storing items for guests.
