Hotels near Miracle Strip Amusement Park, Bay County

We stayed here in August if 2024 after bailing on a cruise that got caught in Hurricane Debby in Tampa. Decently priced oceanfront hotel. The place has everything you need for a beach trip. All rooms have a balcony and view of the ocean. We stayed on the 10th floor and had a great view of the beach and pools. There is a giant main pool, large hot tub, kiddie pool, and giant lazy river. There was also a splash park. There are a couple restaurants. The beachfront grill has really good food. We ate the grouper platter about three days in a row. It is really expensive though. We spent about $100.00 for lunch each day. There is an inside restaurant that has a coffee bar and paid breakfast. We had the coffee. It is also really expensive. Rooms were ok, nothing wrong with them. Just normal wear and tear from a beach hotel. Would stay again.

You note that the hotel is new. All is super clean and new. The air conditioning is extremely quiet. Our room was huge, we were really surprised about it. For that the pool was so small, but just enough. The breakfast area is also viewable so it can become narrow at times of impact. The breakfast itself was over average for American conditions.

We booked this hotel from Monday to Saturday to escape Hurricane Milton when it hit Tampa. From the minute we checked in, which was early, since we stayed up the block the first night, we were there early because of the last minute plans. I explained our situation to Shrenica at the front desk and she she said we would have to pay the $50 early check in fee regardless. No compassion whatsoever for the fact that we had to leave our home for fear of a hurricane. Now on to the hotel amenities and cleanliness: 1) As other guests have mentioned there was a total lack of paper goods (plates, cups, napkins) available in the room and in the hotel. 2) The floors in our room were filthy and I actually had an allergy attack from all the dust. 3) The lobby and breakfast were the worst we've ever experienced in any hotel we've stayed in. The lobby floors were always sticky (probably from all the kids running around with juice and spilling it). The music for breakfast was incredibly loud and between that, and all the kids, it was not a relaxing atmosphere at all. Now the pool area - there is a lazy river in the pool which is beautiful, but it is overrun by children and not a relaxing atmosphere at all. We expect to be able to relax at the pool area when I'm paying to stay at a hotel. There was no ”adult pool” without screaming and yelling children all day long in the pool along with the incredibly loud music that was played all day as well. If you're looking for a relaxing vacation at the beach, this is NOT the place!!!

This was a great stay. On the beach. Nice space. Easy parking. Loved the layout of the apartment. Nothing to complain about.
