"We had a room overlooking the beach! Our room was very comfortable. Amazing staff. Very accommodating. Our room was very clean. We would highly recommend this resort to families! They have so much for the children to do. I'm excited to go back again and enjoy St Pete's beautiful beach!!"

"The Crystal Bat hotel was impeccably clean and dignified in its presentation. The grandeur from an earlier time was preserved. The buffet breakfast served each morning was fresh, delicious, and the chef was so amenable and he even prepared GF breakfasts for my husband who is celiac. The Hotel was quiet and amenities were many, including a beautiful pool with towels and sunscreen supplied, tea and coffee always available, and ice water. I would recommend this hotel to anyone planning a trip to St Petersburg. We will certainly be returning again and again! "

"Great two night stay in one of the beach view studios! Property is super clean. Direct access to the beach and the pool and hot tub were great. Walkable to shops and restaurants. Wish we could have stayed longer."

"The sleeping area "

"Our overnight stay was perfect! Easy check-in and the valet parking was so quick and easy. Our room was clean and easy to navigate. No complaints. We would stay here again if we decide to visit the Tampa/St. Pete area again. "

"Pricey. Our room has no window that can be opened or balcony. And if you want to go to the beach and use their umbrellas or chairs you have to pay. Not even a discount you pay the same price that people that don’t come from the hotel. Very expensive for what it is."

"Room was very nice and clean, Parking available for only 13 vehicles."

"It’s a beautiful resort. Highly recommended it. "

"Second time here! Room was clean, replacement items were quick to receive. Room was able to hold temperature well. All amenities were utilized and nice. We spent a large majority of our time on the beach and found literally dozens of sand dollars. We went swimming in the pool and utilized the fishing poles to catch some fish -- caught 2 fish and saw a manatee!"
