My wife and I frequent the St. Pete area. We live in West Palm, I'm a pilot and fly us over for weekends. For my wife's birthday this year, I wanted to stay somewhere really nice. Unfortunately, there were too many negative things about the Vinoy that will prevent us from returning. - They charge $12.95/day for internet access. This is a $500+ per night property, and properties going for half this include free Wi-Fi. It's a shameful money grab. - The shower door track had mold/mildew (see photos) and the room smelled musty. Nasty. - During check-in we were told we would receive complimentary tickets to The Dali museum, which was the main attraction my wife wanted to see. They did give us tickets. However, it was pretty embarrassing when we approached the counter at The Dali, handed the tickets over and were told these were for a completely different museum (museum of history - see photos). Shelled out the $88 and began the tour. Annoying. - At checkout, there were almost $100 of "valet" charges on our bill. We didn't even have a car with us! - The view in the room was terrible. Basically looking at the delivery area and rooftop A/C units. Read less

Our experience at The Vinoy was incredible! From the moment we walked in to the moment we walked out, it was a magical experience! Special shout out to Elie for showing us the historical sides of the hotel and going out of his way to make sure we saw every part, to Joseph at the coffee shop for his outstanding customer service to Jared at the pool bar who made sure that we only had the best poolside bar drink and food experiences. The room was comfortable, the hotel is beautiful, and we look forward to coming back! Definitely recommend having a drink at Elliot Aster’s and out on the Veranda and by the pool! Staff was wonderful everywhere! Read less

Last weekend, I had an excellent experience with a valet service that completely exceeded my expectations. Upon arriving at the restaurant, a well-dressed valet greeted me with a warm smile and immediately opened my car door. He was polite, professional, and quickly handed me a numbered ticket, reassuring me that my car would be parked securely and returned promptly when needed. What stood out most was how smoothly the whole process was managed, even though the valet area was busy. The team worked efficiently, directing traffic and maintaining a calm atmosphere. I didn’t have to wait long either. When I requested my car after dinner, it was brought to the front within just a few minutes. The valet even remembered which car was mine before I handed over my ticket, which made the experience feel personal and attentive. My car was returned in perfect condition, with the seat and mirrors untouched. The valet offered to help me with my door and wished me a good evening. The service was friendly, respectful, and made the night feel a little more special. It’s rare to encounter service that’s both fast and thoughtful, but this valet team definitely delivered.

We spent a lovely weekend at the Vinoy Resort. They accommodated us with an early check-in and a late check-out. A very kind touch. The room was lovely and quiet. The staff was very professional and helpful. The resort is beautiful and the pool and restaurants were great. LAT approved!

It’s hard to nail down one best part of the stay. It was a "staycation" away from Tampa for my birthday and everything from the room, to the staff, to the amenities were top notch. Our room was enourmous and we loved having the bathroom around a corner and down a short hall from the bedroom. The room was very wel appointed and had excellent enterainment connectivity right through the existins TV set up. We did the pool on SAT and Emma, a young woman at the pool reception area took care of me and talked to me and treated me like we’d been friends forever. She helped my wife and I get set up and helped us with any and all wuetions and requests without batting an eye. We had an amazing lunch at the Pool bar Parasol and Shannon took care of us quickly, was very kind and quick to get us water refills on the sweltering day. We ate at Elliott Aster on SAT night and out waiter Chris was exceptional, he even brought out a little marscopone birthday treat. Great food, great service, which for only be open for 4 days was really amazing. I also spoke to Gabe from the Chicago-based restaurant group in charge of the restaurant. Great guy. On Friday night we tried to get a little mold of the hotel made at a vending machine to commemorate our visit.the machine wasn’t working properly, but a very sweet man from the front desk helped us and brought us the mold the next evening, that’s service.i didn’t catch his name, but he was a nice oler gentleman of Asian descent in glasses. On SUN the pool manager, Chris helped us out and got us set up as the pool was opening, we were leaving later on in the AM. We just wanted to get in one last hurrah at the pool. Another personable, great guy, who wasn’t just going through the motions. Lotties, the coffee shop in the lobby was also amazing nd the staff was quick and helpful. This was our first time staying here. We will be back. Read less
