Tips-
Avoid the 9th floor (top floor) if you want to enjoy the view sitting on the balcony. It has a cement barrier, where the lower floors have rails you can see through. The 9th floor balcony barrier also retains the heat of the AC unit so ends up being much warmer too.

The $24 parking fee is whether you valet or self park, each day. This is in addition to the resort fee.

Resort fees are waived if you pay completely with points, parking fee is not.

The bouyah booth will give you a kayak or paddle board rental between 9-10am for free as part of your hotel stay. It was fun.

You have to stop by the outdoor desk to check out towels for the pool, then return them in order to not get charged.

Drinks from all the locations on site and the spotted donkey are expensive and light on liquor. Go across the street or down to frenchies to get something decent for a lot less.

They double park in the front lot overnight when it s full, be aware.

Pier 60 is right next to the hotel and pretty neat with a playground for kids, along with some nice views from the pier.

The hotel has a private beach space, it was packed on the pier side so this was nice, especially during COVID.

They do seem to maintain the exterior and interior quite well, especially considering the proximity to the salt and sea. I was impressed by that.

The pool area has two pools, including a smaller 1-3 ft pool for the kiddos to play in, it was nice. Watch for ants near the palm trees inside the pool area, no fun.

Staff all were pleasant and said hello and were helpful.

Our room refrigerator looked like a dirty dumpster and was warm.

Overall, our first visit to Clearwater was alright and now that I ve been there, I d definitely look for somewhere else to stay in the future just to avoid paying all the extra fees.
