The hotel

A true home from home, the Sunset Vistas Beachfront Suites are perfect for a proper escape. With your own 2-bedroom suite, you’ll have everything at your fingertips – from the kitchen to the private balcony, complete with views of the beautifully blue ocean and white sands below. Sip a cocktail in the beach bar, and cool off in the pool or one of the whirlpools. And when you want to head out, you can be in St Pete’s itself in a 20-minute drive, or take it easy and stroll along the beach, making footprints in the sand.

I booked a weekend with my family here because of the location of being close to Madeira beach but I will not return at all.

I booked a weekend with my family here because of the location of being close to Madeira beach but I will not return at all. The maintenance and cleanliness of the apartment is totally disappointing, disgusting. Our bed was broken underneath. The bathroom and shower were disgusting with mold stains. The HVAC filter was 100% clogged with dirt and we got sick. Obviously no one supervises these apartments, much less the employees who do the cleaning. I do not recommend Sunset Vistas unless it is through an Airbnb rental. Read less

Stayed at the Sunset Vistas from 7/18-7/21, total of 3 nights. Stayed in 1 room with family (total of 4 people). Total price was over $1800. This price was ridiculous. Over $300 per night per couple. NO maid service. No clean towels. No garbage emptied. 2nd bedroom had full size bed, no queen. TV in 2nd bedroom was 19". No "guide" on TV… Read more

Shower water pressure was non-existent. Room was in much need of upgrade. Pool was overcrowded with kids screaming and splashing. Entire premises needed upgrade. Would not recommend to anyone. Look elsewhere. Would NEVER stay there again. Read less

It was wonderful. The condo was so nice, and looked out over the beach. It was clean and everyone employed there were pleasant to us. It was perfect for our family. We were with three generations. White beaches, cleanliness, hospitality. What more could you want?

We just returned from a week at Sunset Vistas. This was our 2nd year staying here in a gulf view suite. I called and asked to stay in the same unit as last and to have a travel crib placed in the room. At checkin- given a room on the south side (not what I requested) and no travel crib. The furniture was filthy, worn and stained. Broken tile,… Read more
We just returned from a week at Sunset Vistas. This was our 2nd year staying here in a gulf view suite. I called and asked to stay in the same unit as last and to have a travel crib placed in the room. At checkin- given a room on the south side (not what I requested) and no travel crib. The furniture was filthy, worn and stained. Broken tile, broken fixtures and cabinets falling apart. We did our best to look beyond the physical condition of the room but after doing laundry in the in unit machines and having black streaks and some items with small tears- I was livid. 3 out of the 5 elevators were out of service and the remaining 2 were excessively hot and smelled- flooring in one was noticeably in need of repair. The pool is large but not once did we see anyone skimming the pool ( prior year the pool was serviced almost daily before opening) and the water had a continuous mix of bugs, debris, and sunscreen floating on the surface by the stairs. We could scratch the “film” off the tile pool surround at the water line with our fingers. Very disappointed this time around and will not be returning to this “resort”. Read less

Great Place to bring the Family, super fun, friendly staff. I’d love to visit here again. Bring a snorkel and sun block. Go right from the AC to the beach in 30 seconds. Right next to John’s Pass. Watch for shells, ocean life and palm trees! I’ve cream on every corner and great food all around.
