Review of The Beachcomber St. Pete Beach Resort & Hotel 2*

We stayed at the Beachcomber from June 12-16, 2016. It was incredibly hot during our stay, but the Beachcomber offers many great options for cooling off. The greatest of which is the massive and beautiful Gulf of Mexico, which is just a couple hundred yards outside of any room on the premises. The sand was beautiful, though a little too shell covered in parts. And even though you have to cross the dunes to get to the water, the Beachcomber has a great boardwalk that leads down to the sand. The room is decent. The pictures that you find online were obviously taken after a remodel, which seems to have been some time ago. But, despite this, the room is acceptable. Don't stay here if you are a Kardashian, but anyone with reasonable expectations would be fine. The bathroom is small and far from luxurious, but you will feel nostalgic using the toilet which seems to have been plucked directly from a recently closed elementary school. Most of the staff is very courteous and helpful, greeting you with a smile. Everyone has an off day though, so don't expect perfection. The absolute best thing about the Beachcomber though, are the pools. They have a large pool where most people gather, and a smaller pool, which seemed to have attracted more of the older clientele. Personally though, it was a better option, especially at night. It seemed more intimate, but don't take it too far! The people on the top floors can see directly into the water, even at night, so keep it PG! (I'm just assuming… this was not from experience. ) To close out my review, I loved Jimmy B's Beach Bar and Grill. The food was bar food, nothing more, and it hit the spot perfectly every time. The blackened fish tacos are definitely worth ordering and go great with the magnificent sunset!
