beachbum6264 Posted July 13, 2009 #1 Share Posted July 13, 2009 We'll be on the Legend out of Tampa next month and will be driving down a couple of days early. Anyone know a nice beach front hotel (not a huge one) - We've stayed at the Don Cesar in the past and like that area (St Pete beach) - but want to spend a little less this time. Any suggestions?? Thanks in advance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blessedwith12 Posted July 14, 2009 #2 Share Posted July 14, 2009 I hope you get some responses to your question. I will be in Tampa in November leaving on the Legend. Last time in Tampa I stayed at the Sailport, which was fairly affordable and on the bay. This time, I would enjoy being on the beach but I have just now started to research where to stay.

SeaPA1 Posted July 14, 2009 #3 Share Posted July 14, 2009 Tampa itself doesn't really have any beach area to speak of; closest that would be relatively convenient would be in Pinellas County (Clearwater, St Pete, or one of the myriad small towns that are all grown together).

I just booked the Grand Hyatt on Bayport Drive for 11-14 on Priceline for $60.00 + taxes. total about $71.00 for one night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually grew up in Pinellas County (Indian Rocks Beach), but so much has changed since I moved. Thought about IRB or Sand Key, but wanted to be a bit closer (I remember the traffic!!). Anyone have a St. Pete beach recommendation? Close to Don Cesar area? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tourlink99 Posted July 15, 2009 #6 Share Posted July 15, 2009 Bob, Congratulations, you stole that room at the Hyatt. Its a gorgeous hotel. You paid so little you can actually afford to eat in one of those great and expensive restaurants.:D Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I too booked the Grand Hyatt through priceline "name your own price" for 50 plus taxes (63). Its tough to beat that caliber a hotel for the money.

beachbum6264 Posted July 16, 2009 Author #8 Share Posted July 16, 2009 The Grand Hyatt looks like a great place, but anyone have a suggestion for something on the GULF?? St. Pete beach?? (don't want to drive over the Sunshine Skyway!) We are going to be driving down a couple of days early and want to spend them sitting on the sand. ANYONE???? :confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
