“Great stay”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed March 14, 2013

My family and I had reseved 4 separate rooms. We were not able to get any of the rooms together - but that was ok. Staff was friendly and rooms were clean.

We stayed here for 5 nights. They do not clean the rooms everyday. On the 3rd day, the cleaning staff came to clean our rooms. We were ok with this, we did not need clean towels everyday. Rooms were great. The kitchenette was perfect for us. We had a 3 month old and we were able to clean our own stuff and it was nice that a microwave was in the room as well.

In my opinion, the rooms are not ideally set up. The bedroom has a window right next to the hallway. Because of this, my 3 month old kept waking up in the middle of the night because of the hallway noises. We had to move her away from us and towards the sitting area so she would have a better sleep at night. After the first night, we moved her crib, she no longer woke up.

The kitchenette had everything you needed and was very clean. You do not need to bring anything yourself (other than hand dish detergrent). They even provide dishwasher detergent for the machine.

There was parking security on the weekends, which was nice. We had golf clubs in our car and we felt safe leaving them there.

My only complaint is that, on the first night, since we reserved 4 rooms, the hotel was at maximum capacity, they did not have one of the rooms we reserved and 2 familys had to share a - 2 bedroom (which was not what we asked for). The room was the very very very last room of the hotel. The hotel staff did not give us any discounts or do anything to make our stay better. They only offered us free dish detergent and a couple of pops - they said "its on the house". The staff eventually got us another room after the first day.

As far as restaurants, there aren't too many around the hotel. We tried Bahama Breeze but had to wait over an hour. We then went to Chart House which is right around the corner and the food was good. Chart House is on the pricier side, but we got a table right away, the views were amazing, the food was delicious and staff was friendly. It's a bit hidden, but its on the right side just before you get on the Causeway.

All in all, we would stay here again. The rooms have beautiful views of the waterfront and beach. Pretty good for the value.

“not happy with this condo”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed March 14, 2013

Maybe it was the room we rec'd, but the bedroom was a double bed and very small, only about two feet on each side of bed. The bathroom was very small and could not even keep toiletries on the sink. And every day someone came in our room, and everyday they did something different and never very much. Always took the garbage, first day that was all they did. One day out of 5 they made out bed. One day out of 5 they put coffee cup in the dishwasher but did not leave more coffee. There is no where to walk except the parking lot and one small road. No where to eat within walking distance, no coffee shops. Only hotels and office building. Would not recommend at all. Also our room was right outside of the elevator and the noise kept us up at night, people talking and laughing. I did email mgmt and never heard a response

“Very convenient location and great barbecue”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed March 14, 2013

We stayed at Sailport for the second time and "downsized" to a one bedroom/one bath condo. it was perfectly fine for the 2 of us. The view is nice from the balcony though it was freezing here this March! One convenient thing this trip was that one of us got sick and didn't want to go out to eat. So the other was able to order a full barbecue dinner from a "wagon" on-site by the pool and pick it up an hour later. It was delicious too! Having 2 nice flat screen TV's in the until was great too. The other night we loved our dinner nearby at Bahama Breeze.......so easy to get to from here.

“March 9-13 stay”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed March 14, 2013

My family and I stayed at Sailport Waterfront Suites for 4 nights and it was wonderful. We had room 424, one bedroom renovated room on the 4th floor and have no complaints about the room at all. It was very clean, nice furniture, full kitchen with everything you need if you plan to eat in. Check in/out was very easy and like most previous reviews stated, the staff is very friendly (especially Sherise!). They tell you that there won't be housekeeping until the 3rd day, but our experience was that they came by everyday to change towels, take out trash, etc. My only wish is that there were more of a beach for walking, but I knew there wouldn't be when making reservation. There was a lot of noise coming from bar across the bay, but this is not Sailport's fault in any way. Althought it was spring break and booked full, it was very quiet and you could not hear people from next room. Overall great experience - would come back and definitely recommend to friends.

Room Tip: Ask for renovated room on top floor.

“Great in Everway”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed March 12, 2013

We stayed at Saliport for husband to have surgery at LSI. The service we received was fantastic, everyone tried to make us feel welcome and as comfortable as possible. The shuttle to and from the Institute was great, and day of the surgery was even escorted to the room by Harry the manager. We found a lovely treat and card left in out room. The view from our room was beautiful. Just wish we could have stayed longer for a real vacation. We had no complaints and will stay here again if in Tampa area.
