DoubleTree by Hilton Tampa Rocky Point Waterfront

Tampa, Tampa and Clearwater/St Pete

Virgin rating

The hotel

Just a 10 minute drive from Tampa International Airport, this hotel is a great place to stop on your journey into the gulf coast, before you head off to one of many famous beaches. Connected by the causeway, there’s easy access to Clearwater, so you can have your feet in that soft white sand in no time. You don’t need to leave the hotel to get views of the water though, watch the bayside sunsets from your room, or whilst dining at the waterfront grill, sipping on your favourite cocktail.

Nice spacious room and Rubin has been very welcoming. I'll keep writing because the review needs to be 200 characters long but I'm not sure what else to say, it's been a long time since I've had a sleep and I can't wait to get some rest. Comfy pillows here I come!

Great hotel, grwta location and very clean, but in particular the staff was phenomenal. Shout out to Rubin at the front desk who was a great help checking me in and getting me a great room among what was available. I will definitely visit again, not for work hopefully!

I’m a Southwest pilot and stayed here on an overnight. I accidentally left my wallet in the Blufin Restaurant during breakfast and went for an hour-long walk shortly after. When I arrived back to my room, I had a message waiting from the front desk saying they had my wallet. I’m very thankful they took the initiative to return my valuables to me!

Loved the location. It was close to the mall and the restaurants we wanted to try. The front desk was helpful but my husband and I were thrilled with James, the driver. He was able to get us a reservation at Bern’s Steakhouse the very first night we were there. He went above and beyond. Will stay here again. Danielle
