My husband and I live in Central Florida and we love to go on weekend getaways around the state. We stayed at the Bay Palms June 7th- 9th, the weekend of my husband's birthday. We checked in at the sister property, that was a short distance away. Extremely friendly staff, gave us ideas for restaurants to eat at. When we got to the suite (we had a 1 bedroom with living room/ kitchen) I was amazed at how clean it was. I had been recently been remodeled, the bathroom was small but beautiful!! The bed was so comfortable!! Our kitchen had a full size refrigerator, microwave, a 2 burner flat top stove and a the dishes, pots, pans and silverware you could ask for. We ate out so we didn't really use the kitchen much. The price was comparable to that of just a hotel room, why would I want to stay in a hotel when I can get all of this at the Bay Palms? Even though it is not on the Gulf (right across the street) you can use all the amenities of the sister property right down the street that is on the Gulf. My husband and I went there every evening and walked on the beach. Best place to stay in St. Pete Beach and we will, without a doubt, be back!!!!
