Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Great views, good location if you have a car, nice poolside bar/restaurant. The food was quite good and fairly priced. The pool is small but heated and the beach area is great for catching some sun and having quiet time. The bed was ok at best, the furniture was very old and beat up-definitely in need of replacing. Our room needed a deep clean-dusty furniture and cobwebs with bugs in the corners by the slider and the bathroom floor tile looked like it was in need of a good cleaning. The kitchen was well stocked with pots/pans, utensils and dishes however, other than one lonely pack of dishwasher soap, no means to clean any dishes or mess. The exercise "island" is silly-if you want to advertise that you have a place to exercise, please make it a room out of the elements and not in the middle of the parking lot. Overall, a good place if you don't spend a lot of time indoors and have a car to get around.

A little dated, but very clean. The grounds are kept up nicely. Small pool but heated in winter. They do have a nice deck in front with lots of chairs to enjoy the beautiful sunsets. There is a little restaurant on site and the food is not too bad. Our only downside was there was no place to walk & we love our daily walks. Yes, you do have to drive everywhere.

Strong pros and cons to this property. Location great. Views are beautiful. Decent enough restaurant at the pool. Cons Filthy. Mold. Dirt in corners. Urine around base of toilet. Ask for housekeeping, get told none that day but in list for tomorrow. Tomorrow comes, told again no housekeeping. This is not just a hotel. It's condos, leased units, air BNB and rooms run by Sailport. You may see a maid but most likely not employed by Sailport. Great for daily excursions to St Pete, Tampa, Clearwater and Fort Desoto. Definitely rent a car. Nothing in walking distance.

Greetings, thank you for sharing your mixed feelings regarding your stay. It's pleasing that you appreciated the location, views, and our poolside restaurant. However, it's regrettable to hear about cleanliness concerns and your experience with housekeeping. We strive to always deliver top-notch service, and it seems we fell short of these expectations. We also appreciate your advice for future guests about car rentals and close proximity to various attractions. Your feedback is valuable for improvements. Thank you for staying with us. We look forward to having another chance to better serve you next time.

We needed a safe area of Tampa for our group of Christian school teachers attending training. We decided on Rocky Point. I read the reviews of several chain hotels and was not impressed. Many alluded to “funky” smelling carpet and not the best standards of cleanliness. I never heard of Sailport Waterfront Suites. The reviews were very good. We called and the manager, Nick, was so friendly and accommodating that we sealed the deal. Upon arrival, we were stopped by a guard at the gated entry. Our shuttle needed to be rerouted slightly due to its size. Nick was downstairs within minutes to personally greet and direct us. He had our rooms completely ready. We were given a warm reception. Each of our 7 suites had a gorgeous full waterfront view with a private balcony. Each suite had a completely private bedroom. They also had fully equipped kitchens with a stove, fridge, dishwasher, garbage disposal, sink, pots and pans—everything you would need! There was also a desk area, a dinette set and another queen size bed next to the balcony. Some exercise machines were brought out daily so folks could enjoy the bay views. A large deck with chairs plus a generous pool also afforded great views. Another serene area had a bonfire nightly. The staff of Sailport Waterfront Suites pay attention to the details that will make your stay delightful! You will feel pampered, safe, and comfortable in these clean surroundings. Attractions like Ybor City are a close commute. I assure you, we will be regular customers whenever we are in Tampa overnight. Thank you, Nick, and all of your able staff! May God bless you!

I had a wonderful experience at Sailport! I came in town to visit my daughter and having such a beautiful place to stay made it even better. The room was extremely clean and sanitized.

I checked in 9/10 for 2 nights, my wife and my 2 kids, we had a one bedroom unit, the queen bed was very small, looks more like a full size really uncomfortable, the pull out sofa was worst, literally I could feel the springs, very thin, I end it up with back, upper body and neck pain, no breakfast, I will not stay here again.

When we booked we told the salesperson we were going to a ballgame and needed to check in early. We arrived and Damion greeted us. He said he couldn’t guarantee it but would try to get us in early. We went to our car poured a beverage went to the beach area and 20 minutes later he called and said our room was ready. Very impressed by this young man. Our room was perfect. Amazing view. Only downside for the first night was the folks in the next room decided to play their loud music base until after 2am It was annoying and disrespectful. Next morning we asked Damien if they were checking out that day. Thank goodness they were. Second night was much better. We enjoyed some time at the pool and watched the sunset which was amazing. Sunday was much better than Saturday but these folks are very sweet

My sister and I booked this for several nights. When we got to our room, there was a overwhelming spell of mold and midew. We complained and the office sent up maintenance who gave us room freshener. In the middle of the night, we both woke due to not feeling well - burning thoats. We checked out and the front office professsionaly handled giving us a credit for the additional nights. I'm not sure why the other reviews are so positive. You can smell the mold and mildew in the hall. This is not just dampness due to being by the water. It's overpowering. Recommend you continue shopping as this property is not well maintained and there's many choices.

We were able to check in early which was so nice after a 4:00 am wake up call to catch our flight. Beautiful views and really enjoyed the pool and restaurant by it. We never heard neighbors. The waterfront at sunset was breathtaking, and there were not a ton of people there.

This was our second visit to Sailport. Our first visit was obviously pleasant for us to return. We made our reservation months in advance and explained the view and room we would like. When the day arrived, we went to the front desk and was told that they could provide us a room, but not the type of room we expected. However, if we were willing to wait we would have a great room. We waited of course. When we went to our room, we had a view of the beach, the side of the building and the garage. The 100% view of the ocean like last time was not even close even though it was promised when we called to make the reservation Overall, this trip was overpriced for what they promised, the staff changed from our last visit (Oct., 2022) and friendliness is not a concern if theirs. I've learned that there are other properties with just as majestic views for the same price.
