    We stayed here for only one night, but I wish we had more time! The room was beautiful, clean, and so comfortable. The lobby was also so beautiful! Private entrance to beach right across the street. Staff was super helpful and kind. Definitely recommend staying here!

    Renovated bathroom!

    A staycation MUST! This hidden gem in St. Pete is still undergoing renovations but we got the privilege stay here and check them out first hand for my boyfriend's birthday! We had the most amazing experience.. the hospitality was always excellent, the decor feels SUPER luxury now. We enjoys breakfast and dinner at the restaurant there and always had great service and the food was delicious. We also took advantage of the free beach cruisers to ride around for a little scenic tour. We also LOVED the first access to the beach so peaceful and nice and only about a 2 min walk from the hotel. We enjoyed the pool for a little on Saturday and they had a DJ playing which only made the vibes better! The bar was open so we could enjoy drinks while we lounged in the comfy cabana. The location was perfect only about 15 min from downtown so we could still go there if we needed to leave for a little bit still extremely close to the beach where we had an ocean view from our room. The lobby wasn't finished but you can tell they went with the more neutral. simple and clean still and I can't wait to book again and see the finished looked! 12/10 recommend if you are out of town or just need a little staycation.

    Great finish to a great day!

    Love this spot and hope they are recovering from the hurricanes. Great pool bar to take boat to get out of heat.

    "Corpse Reviver"...

    I was excited to try a classic cocktail that's rarely on a restaurant's menu, but was disappointed to see it shaken twice and then dumped into rock's glass when it is supposed to be strained into coup glass at the very least! For price of cocktails/food menu, I expected a bit more.

    My husband's company held their holiday party here and reserved rooms for everyone to stay overnight. Valet parking appeared to be mandatory at $15 per overnight vehicle. The same gentleman that took our car Saturday evening returned it on Sunday morning - he could not have been more pleasant either time. Check-in was a breeze and Logan was very friendly and helpful. Later in the evening, while trying to find the lone ice machine on the 2nd floor, an employee clearly going elsewhere graciously walked me to the vending area. And in Castille, the on-site restaurant, every host/hostess & server exceeded all expectations of hospitality. Service at The Hotel Zamora was simply outstanding! Our suite was large with a balcony that had a decent view of the intercoastal waterway and a slight view of the gulf. The room's windows overlooked the building next door so all water views were from the balcony. Because we were on the side of the building opposite the entrance & restaurant, it was very quiet! Sunday morning, I was delighted to hear many songbirds over the occasional passing vehicle on Gulf Blvd. We had two queen beds in our room, along with TWO wardrobes for hanging clothes, a desk with a coffeemaker, and a refrigerator. The full length mirror was appreciated, as were all of the pillows. The biggest perk was some kind of air purification machine on the wall... My lungs loved that! But for a newer hotel, I was surprised to find outlets lacking & no USB charging ports. Of course I'd brought a 3-plug block; I found an empty outlet on the extension cord behind the nightstand. While the bathroom was huge, I was confused to find that we were issued only one bath towel. Reminder, this room sleeps FOUR people. Also, the lighting in the bathroom was terrible. We enjoyed having two vanity sinks and a large counter, however both sinks drained ridiculously slow & I had to remove the plugs to empty the basins. The walk-in shower was awesome, with a giant rainhead AND a handheld spray; each had their own temperature handle. Unfortunately, the plastic clip holding the handheld shower head broke off almost immediately so I suspect it was already cracked before we arrived. I also found long blonde hairs stuck in the towel bars on the counter, though the rest of the bathroom was immaculate. We enjoyed our stay at The Hotel Zamora, and as I mentioned previously, the staff was incredible. But the shortcomings in our suite's bathroom were disappointing & inconvenient. I would certainly consider staying here again, now knowing where to mitigate my expectations.

    This was my first visit to Hotel Zamora after a long day at St. Pete Beach. My friends and I were all famished and starving, but wanted to eat a good meal before bed. Hotel Zamora welcomed us in 30 before closing and gave us a 5 star experience none the less. The food tasted fresh and high quality. I can't wait to be back for a staycation!

    Wonderful stay at the Hotel Zamora for a much-needed girls weekend. Felt welcomed from the moment your the valet opened your door until you left to head back to reality. Flavored ice water and cookies greet you upon check in (cookies were better than Hilton ). The rooms were spacious and comfortable. We had lunch at the hotel restaurant which offered a varied selection. Those truffle parm fries were addictive. Post lunch we packed up and made the short trip across the street to the beach. While the hotel isn't on the beach per say, I'm dislike walking in the heat and the walk wasn't an issue. They hotel does provide beach towels. They also have covered chairs - as available. We were luck to be later in the day and snagged three no problem. We wound down the evening with a cocktail to watch the sunset on their rooftop patio and bar. There are lounge chairs and sofas for comfortable seating. The bartender got a little overwhelmed at one point so there was a slight wait for our drinks but reinforcements showed up for a time to help. There's music and if I recall some games like corn hole available. The atmosphere of the property, rooms, restaurant, and common areas are lovely with Spanish inspired lighting and decor. All-in-all definitely worth a visit if you're in the area.

    Recently, we were in St. Petersburg Beach for my Mom's birthday weekend, where we booked our stay at The Hotel Zamora. I really enjoyed my time at the Mediterranean-styled boutique hotel, with its gorgeous design, nice pool and rooftop bar areas, as well as a dock for kayaking and boating. The accommodations are lovely. And I enjoyed their breakfast sandwich with bacon. Because bacon. Most hotels tend to be either very underwhelming, touristy, klitzy, trashy, outdated, and underwhelming located in areas known for their beaches. Fortunately, the Hotel Zamora is not one of those. Their reception area and amenities are gorgeous. Their rooms are spacious, comfortable, and provide everything you need to enjoy your stay. Our room comprised two queen-sized beds, a gorgeous balcony overlooking St. Pete Beach and the waterways, a lovely walk-in spa shower with TWO shower heads, two sinks, a separate room for the toilet, plenty of closet space, a safe, a coffee maker, plenty of outlets, and free WiFi. The mattresses were sooooooooo comfortable. I swear to God that I've never felt like I would fall asleep from not being tired as quickly as these mattresses. These mattresses can soothe and put to sleep a screaming baby who is teething. This hotel is a magical realm of realness with gorgeous architecture, sophisticated style, and an ample array of comfort and class.

    After booking online, we arrived expecting to stay at the Sirata property shown in the listing, but…read moreunfortunately that was not the case. We were directed to check in at a neighboring building that appeared to be part of the resort. Upon arrival, the check-in area was locked, requiring us to return to the main property for assistance. Once checked in, we were disappointed to find that the room looked nothing like the photos advertised online. In addition, there was significant construction noise throughout our stay, which impacted the overall experience. Several amenities we were looking forward to were also unavailable. Harry's Pool Bar was closed, and at one point the fire alarm sounded, requiring guests to evacuate and wait outside until the situation was resolved. Following the incident, the elevators were out of service, forcing us to carry our luggage up and down six flights of stairs. Overall, the experience did not meet the expectations set by the online listing. We felt the accommodations were inaccurately represented, and prospective guests should carefully verify exactly which property and room type they are booking before making a reservation.

    1 Star - This Was a Motel, Not a Resort…read more I rarely leave negative reviews, but this was one of the worst lodging experiences I've ever had. First, the adults-only pool was closed during our stay. At no point before arrival were we informed of this. Had we known, we likely would have chosen a different property. The only remaining pool was overcrowded and felt more like a children's pool than a relaxing resort amenity. The property itself is extremely run-down and looks nothing like what many travelers would expect from a beach resort. Our "ocean view" room was incredibly disappointing. Calling it underwhelming would be an understatement. The advertising was misleading. The resort promotes a private beach experience where guests supposedly don't need to bring towels or chairs. In reality, oceanfront chairs cost approximately $95 per day and had to be surrendered at 6 PM. Umbrellas were not included unless rented for an additional fee, forcing us to purchase our own. None of this was clearly disclosed before arrival. The cleanliness was unacceptable. The beds contained sand before we had even stepped onto the beach. Within minutes of removing our shoes in the room, the bottoms of our feet were black from the filthy floors. Multiple guests observed roaches around the property, including near the ice machines, bathrooms, and guest room areas. The room itself felt more like a Motel 6 than a resort. The bathroom was so small it was difficult to move around comfortably. The entry door had large gaps around the sides and bottom, allowing light, noise, and likely insects to enter the room. Customer service was equally disappointing. One front desk employee was friendly and helpful, but most staff members were dismissive and unhelpful. After accidentally leaving my Stanley cup at check-in, I was repeatedly told it was not there and was given a phone number to call. The following morning, the only helpful employee immediately found it sitting right behind the front desk where it had apparently been the entire time. The food served on-site left both of us feeling sick that evening. To make matters worse, after checkout I discovered charges on my folio that were never explained at check-in or during our stay, including resort and parking fees totaling nearly $144 for a two-night stay. The surrounding area was also disappointing. Many nearby businesses appeared closed, and there was very little within walking distance compared to what we expected from a beach destination. This property is marketed as a resort. Our experience was that of an aging motel charging resort prices. Between the closed amenities, misleading advertising, cleanliness concerns, roaches, poor customer service, unexpected fees, and substandard accommodations, this was one of the most disappointing travel experiences I've ever had. I would not stay here again and cannot recommend it to anyone. (1/5)

The views are beautiful, and the location is right on the beach. There are plenty of spaces in the lobby for working, plenty of meeting rooms (or ball rooms if you're there for a formal event), and areas to just relax or work. The resort provides live music various days of the week as well. I will say that I was surprised about the lack of dining options. There is a lobby bar (which doesn't open until 3pm), and just two restaurant options. Maritana is only open a few days a week and not open until 5:30pm, although the lobby bar does serve a few small plates. The Society Table has a bar within their restaurant (Rowe Bar I believe), and I experienced both as they both have different menus. The lobby bar menu is small but great; the Wagyu Sliders and charcuterie board were both delicious. The wine list is fairly extensive as well. I dined at the society table for lunch on the day that I left and I got the Gumbo with jalapeño cornbread. This was very delicious; I do feel there should've been more than a few pieces of chopped up shrimp. My waitress was wonderful though and very kind as well as the hostess. For the days we were provided food by the resort for the work conference, I was very impressed! All of the breakfast, lunch, and dinner options were incredibly extensive, fresh, and delicious. The servers were very attentive and helpful. The room service menu although overpriced and included a $5 "delivery charge," is very extensive and tasty. For example, an omelet with toast (small salad included with the omelette), was almost $60 including tip. That being said, it was the best omelette I've ever had. The guest services for room service and the cleaners were incredibly friendly and helpful, especially Evan! Do note that this is a cashless resort. There are a few shops on the first floor for souvenirs, basic necessities for traveling, and then an adorable little shop/café with ice cream, coffee, wine, snacks, and drinks. On to the room! I really enjoyed my room. I feel like for one person or even two, it's a pretty spacious room. The bed was very comfortable as well as pillows. They cleaned my room each day, and provided new towels. The bathroom was clean and a decent size for one person. All of the events that the hotel put on for our conference were outstanding. We had a welcome party and a beach party, and I was incredibly impressed. The food was delicious, the staff incredibly attentive and kind, and the music wonderful! The Don CeSar was the perfect place for our conference and I would highly recommend a company conference there. Between the delicious food, impeccable service, beautiful resort, and location right on the beach, I would recommend this spot for an event, quick getaway, or staycation.
