“My 2nd Home!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed December 6, 2012

I have been staying at this hotel for a few years now. Love the renovations they have done to the rooms -- have been here twice this year. The service by the staff is super. They are willing to do whatever the customers need at a moments notice! Great people -- from owner to staff! I had mentioned to Yudit that the shower was draining slow and the next thing I knew she was in there unclogging the shower. Before I left the room it was done and clean. Gracias!

Great location on St Pete Beach. The rooms are clean; everything you need within reach (on the beach and the premises)! Affordable prices that include beach chairs, bikes for the family, jacuzzi and heated pool for swimming if ocean water is too cold. This was my first trip in winter and loved it. I recommend it highly. Don't forget to visit the Deli and get your steaks or seafood to throw in the grill at Sabal Palms.

I have had family reunions staying at this hotel and it's a great place for big groups and children of all ages.

Room Tip: All rooms have a kichenette. Top rooms have higher ceiling areas. I prefer direct access to the deck...

“Nice, but some problems”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed December 4, 2012

We recently stayed in Unit #3 at Sabal Palms. Our unit faced the gulf. Sabal Palms is in a beautiful location, the room is nice and the staff is very friendly.

We would give Sabal a perfect rating if they would correct 3 things:

1) The bright lights outside the front window can't be turned off or at least turned down and the bright light shining into the unit thru the shades makes it hard to sleep.

2) They offer free bikes for use which is a nice feature, but half of them had flat tires.

3) The view from the deck in front of the unit is spectacular, but the railing is so high, you need to stand up to enjoy the view. They should either have a lower railing or have tables and chairs that are higher than the railing so you can sit and enjoy the view.

“Loved it!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 30, 2012

Had a great stay at Sabal Palms Inn on Thanksgiving 2012. Very clean and the staff was very accomodating, thank you Julie. My husband and I rented the studio apt/ pool view. It was quiet, private and close proximity to the beach and downtown. We loved it! Can't wait to revisit Pass-a-Grille!

“Relax and Enjoy”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 28, 2012

It's been several years since I've been in the St. Pete Beach area, and I was looking forward to staying at the Sabal Palms Inn again. Just like my other stays, the staff was friendly and very accomodating. I was pleasantly surprised to find that all the rooms were remodeled. All the rooms offer efficiency kitchens which is great for families with children. Your stay includes use of the pool, outdoor tables and grill, chairs for the beach(which happens to be directly across the street), and bikes to ride around town. Within walking distance are local restaurants, a shopping district on 8th, and a pier for boat rentals. If you're looking for a great place to relax and enjoy, this is it!

Room Tip: Rooms #1, 2 and 3 are gulf front and have spectacular sunset views.

“Great Inn, Great Stay”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 28, 2012

When you find something really worth while, you usually try it again. That is the case with my wife and I. The room was very neat and clean, the view of the Gulf from the front porch absolutely gorgous and a very friendly staff. Easy walk to resturants in Pass-A-Grille or make use of the free bikes provided by the inn. You also have the option to cook in the room or go up to Shanners Land and Sea Market, get some kabobs, cook them on the grill as we did during our week stay. Very quiet location and both times met other wonderful guest.

Room Tip: Rooms 1-3 on front porch would be our first choice simply because of the view.
