The hotel

This seaside family-fun hotel has a prime beachfront location, you can take to the sand for a sunbathe, or the sea for some kayaking at ease. A little wander along the beachfront trail will take you to St John's Pass one way, or St Pete's Beach the other (you can also get the free island hopper if it's a bit too hot for walking) so you've got restaurants, bars and shopping in either direction. Back at the hotel the sundeck is a great place to catch the rays and enjoy some family games together. And Wave Zone will keep the kids happy, with more games and a pool table, whilst you grab a drink or a snack at the cafe. When the sun is setting, head to Sloppy Joes for happy hour out on the deck, and no doubt you'll be tempted to stay for dinner with the aroma of fresh seafood around.

The bilmar was an amazing hotel for our girls trip for our 40th birthday! The rooms were clean, the beds were comfy and the restaurant was fantastic. The beach wasn’t crowded and we enjoyed the chill vibe. During our stay we had beach photos taken and our photographer was very talented at capturing “us”!

We had a great stay!! Rooms were clean, staff were all extremely friendly! The only thing is that the beach is far from the hotel but it’s like that for every hotel in the area. Highly recommend getting the sunset photos- awesome experience, great photos!

I hadn’t been back to the Bilmar Beach Resort for about 15 years or so. It had a bit of a facelift, however, in May of 2024 when we went it was in the middle of an emergency construction project! The room inside also had some issues such as the sliding closet doors were off track and the bathroom door was a very strange design. There wasn’t a fan or decent lighting in the bathroom, no lock on the bathroom door and it didn’t fully close. The beds were very comfortable and we gad a beautiful view of the beach. If you reserve a room in the near future try to stay in the tall main building-no construction going on there. The staff was pleasant, (however we were there for 2 nights and did not receive maid service) the 2 restaurants were very good. The BEACH was the jewel - white sandy beach, beautiful sunsets and lots to do nearby. Love ❤️ the area! Read less
