DoubleTree by Hilton Tampa Rocky Point Waterfront

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.

Lots of greats here but they don’t overcome the negative. The views and seating outside areas are truly impressive, especially when your pool side or at the bar/restaurant. Parking is tight. The elevators are quick and clean. Their cookies are overcooked and not warm and moist or chewy. My room on 7th floor nice BUT had no clock, the AC shut off… Read more
Lots of greats here but they don’t overcome the negative. The views and seating outside areas are truly impressive, especially when your pool side or at the bar/restaurant. Parking is tight. The elevators are quick and clean. Their cookies are overcooked and not warm and moist or chewy. My room on 7th floor nice BUT had no clock, the AC shut off around 1am and would not cool properly even on 65 at high speed. The bathroom floor was sticky and the bottle of body wash has not been replaced on wall. The toilet also runs & has trouble flushing without holding down handle. My biggest issue was the restaurant was eating dinner and as soon as I finished the bartender asked if I was done, and I still had 1/2 beer left asked if he could get me another when I stated I’m still finishing this one he waited till I took another drink then asked if he could just cash me out since he was leaving and if I wanted anything more they could just open another tab (yet another expense report for me), I was frustrated at this point so said sure I’m done so no more drinks or dessert they lost out. Leaving this location is challenging as cars coming the other way refusing to stop to make light so have your dash cameras running & lawyer numbers available. Read less

Everyone is wonderful to deal with including Sam, Chelsea, Croix, the Room Mgr, the woman who cleans the pool deck and everyone who assisted in helping Lisa after she slipped getting out of the pool

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
