Belle Vista Hotel

"Beautiful spot very close to the beach and St Johns Pass. Owners did not answer the phone number provided and never called back after 2 messages left. Problem was resolved, but I would have appreciated a callback instead of the impersonal email responses that I received."

"Unit was clean, had everything from toiletries, towels, pots, pans, paper towels, etc. Loved that it would maintain a nice cool temperature of 68. Great location. Definitely couldn't swim. Maybe you can fish from the dock but Definitely not a place to swim. Unit was a bit small. My biggest complaint is having to pay $150 for cleaning service yet we are required to wash, dry and put away all dishes, strip the beds of their sheets and pillow cases, take out all trash to the other side of the building and sweep the floors because if any sand is found inside, I would have been charged $50. Because of all of this I was 45 minutes late checking out ans the cleaning lady who was unbelievably rude kept harassing me while I was trying to get the heck out of there. She was very sarcastic and said check out time is 10:00 and that the owners were trying to reach me so I need to call them. I was not going to stop and call them. I was getting my stuff out and cleaning the place. We told the rude cleaning lady she is welcome to start cleaning right when she arrived but she had an attitude and refused to go in there even though the bedrooms and bathroom were clear of our belongings. She said they needed the unit clean for pictures. That's fine. No need to be rude and sit there staring at us as we do the cleaning. She could have gotten up off her butt and started doing her job rather than complain and be rude. She makes $150 when we do all the work. She should be happy. Yes, I was 45 min late checking out. Perhaps it's the laundry list of chores we had to do. Not even a dishwasher. Place was too small for a dishwasher. I just can't get over paying that much for a cleaning lady who is rude and doesn't have to do anything. So I will say this, "you're welcome for my business and our cleaning services we provided". Please talk to the "cleaning" lady and ask her to change her very unprofessional demeanor. Nobody deserves to be treated the way that she treated us."

"Not for those with mobility issues. To be fair, we did not expressly inform Belle Vista how disabled. Great location for folks wanting to be near the beach but with the quiet of intercoastal. Plenty of towels for our 10 day stay and a hair blower. Our unit, Anchor, was cute but not really meant for 6 people unless you want to spend all your time outside as the place was more for a small or young family. When we asked for more pans for cooking, we were told we could buy some cheap ones nearby (?). Some were sent over from another unit though which fixed the problem ; ) The washer and dryer were perhaps repaired after a previous reviewer reported but has since broken again as we could not complete our load. We ended up finishing it at a nearby laundromat. The beaches are great especially the beach wheel chairs at Treasure Island beach at 112th and at John's Pass right next to the bridge. Our stay was pleasant. We informed Sun Host resorts of these problems and the racket the fridge can make at any given time when we were leaving because we were not overly bothered by it."
