DoubleTree by Hilton Tampa Rocky Point Waterfront

Tampa, Tampa and Clearwater/St Pete

Star rating

The hotel

Just a 10 minute drive from Tampa International Airport, this hotel is a great place to stop on your journey into the gulf coast, before you head off to one of many famous beaches. Connected by the causeway, there’s easy access to Clearwater, so you can have your feet in that soft white sand in no time. You don’t need to leave the hotel to get views of the water though, watch the bayside sunsets from your room, or whilst dining at the waterfront grill, sipping on your favourite cocktail.

Lori helped me out so much!!! I needed a band-aid and she went above and beyond! The hospitality at rocky point is top notch every time we stay here and I am so thankful we get to enjoy their company on our over night stays when we get to. She really saved me from ruining my uniform! Lol

We truly enjoy this venue, having stayed here 3 times in the last 23 months. The hotel is lovely; rooms are spacious; the views are fantastic; the front desk staff were attentive and kind (even when we had to re-calibrate our keys). The pool is AWESOME, and the deck overlooking it is also terrific, and excellent for meetings. Everyone was extremely hospitable. In particular, the ever-patient Roy, the energetic, efficient and joyous Christine (both front desk) and George, at the Blu-Fin restaurant/bar were gracious, professional, and made things very easy. We also enjoyed the Blu-Fin food. (Try the crab cakes, and the tuna seviche, if you like seafood that is not necessarily freshly caught, but wonderfully prepared). From the cleaning crew to the front desk to the people who keep everything well-manicured and managed, we have only great things to say. And, again, the POOL, overlooking the waterway into Tampa Bay (and its occasional dolphins) is fabulous! Read less

It was a wonderful experience. The venue is terrific and loved hanging all day by the pool. Ash was so helpful and professional. She’s a gem! The man at the desk, gray haired man don’t know his name was Mr personality and also so helpful. Grateful
