Situated on the barrier island of Indian Rocks Beach amid 15 waterfront acres, there's lots to do for those active bods out there. The hotel is located on the intracoastal waterway, with a marina that offers boat rentals and fishing charters. There's also a swimming pool with hot tub and sun deck for those more interested in lying back and taking it easy. Cruzan Rum Shack's waterfront tiki pool bar is on hand to mix you a poolside cocktail, while lunches can be enjoyed at Jimmy Guana's waterfront restaurant.

Visited in February 2026 for 4 nights. The original room I booked was the loft suite marina view. Prior to arrival I was called to advised that the room was overbooked and I was on a waiting list next in line for a cancellation. Upon arrival I was downgraded to a marina suite with 2 queen beds. The first night the heater stopped working and maintenance came the next morning to replace the unit. Then the toilet wouldn't flush so maintenance was called to plunge the toilet. The same day the toilet backed up again and the maintenance rodded the toilet. The water in the shower was not hot so maintenance was called again and he adjusted the diverter and it was warm...not hot. The next day the toilet backed up again and maintenance came again and unclogged it. Housekeeping came daily but did a poor job and I had to call to have them return to clean the kitchen. The garbage wasn't emptied the whole time we stayed. The floors were not mopped and the room was never vacuumed. The wallpaper in the bathroom was torn and the shower curtain rod was not secure to the wall. The hotel elevator broke on the third day so I had to struggle to get my wife up 16 stairs due to her having mobility challenges. I would not suggest staying here. The location is very good and the staff and maintenance are courteous. The hotel needs to remove the resort fees . In February it is generally too cold to use the water park and garage parking and internet should be free particularly if you don't have a vehicle which I did not.

Couples retirement trip

Lots of things to do. Place was very clean. Service was good by the front counter people. Erica was extremely helpful when we had any questions.
The sliding door needed some attention. It did not slide easy at all. Wish they had a half bath down stairs so did not have to go up and down steps all of the time.
Staycation!

Great hotel, lovely staff, beautiful location
Aug 27, 2025Sally E
We stay here every time we visit Indian Rocks beach and the hotel never disappoints. Beautiful location, steps from the beach with the nicest reception staff. This time they upgraded our room and gave us a super late checkout so we could enjoy the full day. Loved it. Thank you IHG.
