Pros: Pool area Amazing, the Clearwater area is great, a few beach games to play, and plenty of things for kids.

Cons: $25 resort fee you don t know about until you check in. Rooms are small. You have to pay to use beach chairs. They have stacks of chairs that sit in piles that are unused. Can t even use them without paying. A whole package to get everything you would want to use on a resort is $200. You can rent just a chair for like $30 plus you have to rent the beach umbrella too. The room doesn t even have a Keurig. I have been to many of hotels. Holiday Inn offers better rooms and amenities. No chill patio area to sit and relax in. Construction is going on so that s annoying on the beach. Mysterious $125 charge 2 nights in, they said it was for a deposit to make sure the card still worked. Just odd. For $1500 for a 3 nights I d go elsewhere. What you get is offered at most other resorts in the area. Severely overpriced and they fall short of the expectations.

My wife and I had a great time, but that was Clearwater. Not because of Hilton.
