“Fantastic experience!!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 26, 2013 via mobile

Bayview Plaza is amazing! The size of the rooms is unbelievable (closer to a small apartment than a hotel room), they are pet friendly, and it is only a short walk away from the beach. The outside deck is great for relaxing and the pool is decent size. I couldn't believe everything we got for our buck!! We definitely plan on visiting this place again.

“Relaxing on the deck!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 16, 2013

I have just enjoyed the most relaxing holiday in St Pete Beach and a wonderful stay at the Bayview Plaza Waterfront Resort. I specifically chose this hotel because it was a small boutique property, but that, because of the association with the main Plaza Beach Hotel (across the road), would have access to the facilities of a larger hotel and the beach. I was hoping for a quiet hotel with some unique charm, as opposed to a characterless bed factory. I was proved right in my choice and this was perfect for my needs. The room size exceeded my expectations - and we benefited from a small kitchen area, separated living area and room for the two double beds. The room was fresh and clean - and despite it being closest to the road of all the rooms on the property - was quiet and I slept very well. The waterside decks at the rear of the property were incredibly relaxing - and such a joy to spend time reading on the many loungers and chairs provided there. Multiple pelicans, herons and ibis get us entertained as they visited us on the deck.

I stayed for a week - and found the hotel a great base to explore locally - and definitely recommend side trips to Pass-a-grille, Gulfport, St Petersburg and Fort De Soto. I'm definitely keen to return.

As many of the other reviews note, the Italian bakery next door is amazing. I think that was probably one of the tastiest sandwiches I have had in my life! There are plenty of other restaurants and bars up and down Gulf Blvd, which were also fun to explore. Mad Fish was one we particularly enjoyed.

Congratulation on your wedding. I'm glad you were able to get a mini-honeymoon in. Everyone is always really busy and sometimes it can be hard to get away, but it's important that you do.

I'm glad that you enjoyed the Bayview Plaza Waterfront Resort and mentioned that our rooms were clean and that the staff was really nice and helpful.

I look forward to seeing you and your husband again for another trip, hopefully for a little longer next time so that you both can really relax and enjoy each other.

“satisfaction”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 12, 2013

We came to St. Pete's Beach many years ago without having booked any lodging. As we drove north on Gulf Blvd. my wife pointed to the Plaza Beach and said,"I like this one." Her instinct has always proven valuable over the years and we have not booked any other lodging when we have returned to Florida. This year was a bit different. We didn't make reservations far enough in advance. The Plaza Beach was not available for the nine nights we requested. As a result the Bayview was suggested as alternative and it turned out to be a good one. In the future, we may prefer to reserve #711. We loved it! Hated to leave!

“WOW! Love It.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 9, 2013

This review is a little over due. Me and my wife stayed there about a couple months ago. We are florida residents and have a Ramada in Kissimmee Florida. We like to get out once a month and stay somewhere close to have a nice few days away from the hotel. I stumbled upon this place on one of the search sites. It looked like what we were looking for, little place with a mom and pop feel. What we received was way far beyond. The rooms were very new and fresh, surprisingly so. Was not expecting that, pictures on the sites do not do this location justice. They have a dog area that is perfect for you pet lovers. We will be bring Abby next time we go. She will love her little area. The staff was polite and chatted with me for a bit when I checked out. Even gave me souvenir, with their name and number on it of course. Which I will be using next monday. Either way, this place in amazing and we promised to write a review of our stay and come back and see them. So here you go thanks, and A++++!

Room Tip: You have to check in, beach side at the bigger location. Little of a hassle but worth it. Only takes...
