We visited for an 8 night stay on 13th October. We stayed in a top floor, deluxe one bedroom suite located above the lobby. The suite was very clean, comfortable and overlooked the pool. The kitchen is fully equipped, with all you could need for a stay. The location is about a 20 minute stroll from Pier 60. The pool is heated and lovely and clean. Whilst we were there it was never busy, sometimes just the two of us laying there. Free bottled water was available from a container around the pool. The staff were very helpful and friendly and cannot praise them highly enough. The only negative points, were that I felt it needed some TLC in places. Lock on door to balcony hanging off and sink in bathroom not fixed to unit. Nothing to complain about but small things that would have given it a 5* review instead of a 4*.

We stayed in a standard room (#211) at the Coconut Cove All Suite Hotel for two nights and found the whole place to be great value, providing more than we expected and just about close enough to everything one could want from a beachside holiday in Tampa.

The room was very spacious, with a large open plan living area connected to a large well equipped kitchen. The bedroom was also big with a nice sized comfortable bed and a grand HD television nice and close by to give one that chine a feel. The room also had a nice balcony; sadly with a view of the parking lot - but it is a standard room, mind.

The bathroom is also big - with a small room attached to it housing a safe, an ironing board, an iron and a plunger (!) in case one ever needs to make emergency plumbing repairs. The toiletries are great - lavender and rosemary scented. They even provide beach towels in addition to the abundant towels they offer. Nice touch.

The venue was located a little bit away from the main section of the stretch; so it seemed a little out of the way, but not to its detriment. There are a few local rowdy bars and a Subway and a Walgreens flank it on either side. There is also two nearby restaurants which offer a 10% discount to hotel residents. There is a nice deep pool in the hotel with deck chairs and music playing all day giving it a nice holiday feel. There is access to a small private beach very close by - yet if one prefers the main beach is less than a 10 minute walk away.
The pier is a little further on, but the walk is lovely.

Parking was ample, but comes at an additional $10 per day charge which seems a bit of a robbery.

The positive aspects include two very helpful receptionists Tina and Mia. Tina particularly was so helpful that we extended our stay an extra night after she explained what one should do around the area.
The pool was great - so nice to find a pool which is deep enough for adults to not be able to touch the bottom when standing.
Our housekeeper was also very kind and polite.

The negative aspects include noise; a lot of noise. If one likes to sleep with ones window or balcony door open; there are air-conditioner extractor fans to contend with; music and noise from the pool area; loud cars and motorbikes and late night shouting and even a street scuffle to contend with.
The distance factor is one to consider in that it is a bit away from all the action of the pier and the main beach.
And one possible unfair criticism but worth noting is the kitchen knife they provided could not slice warm butter it was so blunt.

To conclude the Coconut Cove is a simple, great and good place to stay for one or two nights, and an even better way to spend a week to ten days. Just bring some ear plugs and your own knife.

This was good for the price with clean rooms and a clean pool but there were a few things that were let downs. Not enough to complain to management about but examples are: the outside steps leading up to the rooms and walkway to rooms were are not swept. Cigarette butts and some bobby pins were there during the whole 3 days we were there. Some dark stains that looked like tobacco spit were going up the steps that you had to climb with your luggage and was a bit gross since we had a large rolling suitcase. Seems it would be easy to sweep this area daily but is not a priority for some reason? They also need larger trash cans in the kitchen area. A small bathroom size trash can was what we had in the kitchen and 1 leftover box filled it up. Our TV in the living room was missing a remote so we let the front desk know that it was gone so they wouldn't think we lost it. The remote from the bedroom worked though. Rooms were very clean and so was the pool area. They hotel offered bottled water by the pool. The pool was beautiful at night! The beach across the street is small and doesn't offer much room so we drove across the bridge down the road to a GREAT beach at Sand Key Park. The restaurant next door is yummy and so convenient.

We chose to stay here as it is close to the beach but has its own private pool. The accomodation is spacious and clean, with two double beds and a living area/kitchen. Staff were extremely helpful and we had free access to the internet in the reception area.
