Written by “dollarsgirl” from Atlanta, GA:

We stayed at the Doubletree North Redington Beach over the weekend of Jan 23rd. We stayed for 3 nights. We were there for a wedding in St. Pete Beach. The property was on a very pretty stretch of white sand beach. The rooms were clean and recently updated/renovated. The staff went out of their way to be accommodating and friendly.  During our stay, we utilized the Trolley that runs up and down Gulf Blvd. This made travel to the wedding that we attended very easy. Nobody had to worry about being a designated driver. It made things much more relaxed and enjoyable. The Doubletree has a trolley stop right out front of the hotel.  The hotel has a wonderful tiki bar that we hung out at in the afternoons. It was a lovely and relaxing atmosphere. We did not have a chance to go to the hotel’s restaurant, but I heard that it was a very good place with great service.  My husband and I talked about bringing our children back here one day. It is a great beachfront hotel that will not break the bank. Great for a family beach vacation. The staff prides itself on providing wonderful service, and it makes a big difference. During our stay, I noticed that all of the staff were wearing pins on their shirts that said, “10.” I asked the front desk attendant what this was all about and she told me that their manager likes only rating of 10. Anything else is a failure to the patron. She told me that they always shoot for providing level 10 service. I liked that.

You all did a fabulous job, thank you!  We had a few ladies that needed some last minute items from the drug store.  Your staff volunteered to go to the store and pick up these few items for them so they would not miss their meeting, and also printed everyone’s boarding passes.  AWESOME service!  It was a pleasure working with each of you.

“We had our wedding at the resort on 3/6/09. Marie the catering manager was wonderful the ENTIRE step of the way. Can’t say enough about her. When the hotel was a Hilton my husband and I spent our first valentines weekend here so naturally we loved it when we looked at the event space. The hotel owners have done so much work on it. Upgrading everywhere you look. All rooms have been renovated, super nice, nice new carpet, bathrooms and nice linen. The outside deck area is awesome, the beach is small but nice. Great little beach bar, nice place to enjoy a drink and some food. Mangos is great, I never ate there but wedding day and day after I got room service and it was excellent!”

“My daughter had a lovely wedding at the Doubletree Hotel in North Redington Beach, FL.  It was everything we expected and more.  I have Marie Molina, the coordinator of the wedding, to thank for such a beautifully executed wedding.  She was extremely helpful and accommodating in the most professional way from the beginning of our planning (Dec. 2008) to the wedding day (July 2009).  The events of the wedding day surpassed all of my expectations.  Marie was there from the beginning to the end of the wedding events to make sure things ran smoothly.  All the guests at the wedding/reception shared how lovely and relaxed it was.  Many guests expressed that this was the best wedding they had been to (a beach wedding).  Your staff was also very accommodating to our family and friends needs during the overnight stay at your lovely hotel.  I would truly recommend your facilities and Marie Molina’s expertise to anyone having a Florida beach wedding.  It was truly a wonderful experience all around.  You have a valuable employee (Marie) at this hotel in making wedding dreams come true.  We owe it all to her for the success and memorable event that we will cherish forever.  No regrets.  I would do it exactly the same if I had to do it all over.  Thank you for a lovely, first class wedding. ”

“The first two days I had my 5 year old with me and it was a lot of fun for families and for young children.  After he left I had a friend come out and stay with me and it was a great time for adults as well!  The staff was great, the location was amazing, the sunsets were breathtaking…I honestly have NOTHING bad to say about this place except that I had to check out and go home!”

“Wow…this hotel and staff completely amazed my boyfriend and I.  We stayed for four nights and you couldn’t ask for a better location.  It sits right on the gulf!  The Mangos Restaurant has a lot of great food choices – we got to dine in on Mexican buffet night and the following morning was the Sunday buffet breakfast!  The staff was helpful in so many ways – we were the curious tourists asking every kind of question and they provided answers to all of them.  The hotel is very close to nice attractions such as John’s Pass Village, Suncoast Bird Sanctuary, Fort DeSoto, Bubba Gump Shrimp Restaurant.  We got to snorkel everywhere including right behind our hotel!  Overall WONDERFUL trip – you will love it!”

“Awesome hotel, employees, food and accommodations.  We had to change hotels at the last desperate minute and they had us in the next morning at 11am with warm cookies, a gulf view and the most heartfelt welcome possible.  Every staff member we encountered had a smile on their face and ready to give us the best service possible.  The food was great, make sure you try the sweet potato chips and salsa.  The rooms were clean, had everything we needed and the beds were very comfortable.  The beach was clean and beautiful.”

“One of the best places to stay on Redington Beach.  Just step off the property and you’re on the beach.  Clean white sandy beaches.  Rent beach cabana for $25.00 a day.  You can go to Walmart and buy your own chairs and umbrella, but then you don’t get the service of Kevin…he tags your spot daily and checks on you throughout the day.  He does a Great Job…plenty of stores and good restaurants close by for all your needs.  Hotel food is very good and not pricey.  Excellent Staff.  Very friendly.  Rooms are comfortable and clean.  Free parking.”

“Stayed here for 4 nights and thoroughly enjoyed our beach vacation at this Doubletree.  We had gulf view room which gave a beautiful view of the beach and overlooked the Tiki Bar…We reserved the beach bonanza special which included a daily cabana rental and breakfast for two in their restaurant, Mangos.  The room and beds are comfortable and as others have said nothing out of the ordinary…All the staff were friendly and helpful.  We were lucky with beautiful weather (in the upper 80’s and low 90’s) and I would definitely return to this hotel.”

“Awesome place to unwind.  Can’t wait to go back!  My husband went to the area for business and booked at this hotel, so I tagged along.  Boy was I glad I did!  The hotel was fabulous and the location is perfect.  During the week there were many business people so things were quiet.  By the weekend the place was packed (a wedding was held on Saturday night right on the beach!) so things got a lot more lively.  The staff seemed to do a great job accommodating the needs of everyone.  The pool area was pretty crowded and there were a lot of families with older and younger children, but we never had a problem finding a place to sit…the ocean water was warm and inviting, no rough surf to worry about.  We walked every morning on the beach and checked out the area…loved the free warm chocolate chip cookies from the front desk.  And the hostess in the hotel dining area was great, as well as the rest of the wait staff.  Breakfast overlooking the ocean each morning, what could be better?  Our room overlooked the parking lot but there was still a water view from the inlet a few streets over.  With the balcony we were able to be outside in the afternoon but get out of the hot sun for a bit.  I suggest bringing LOTS of sunscreen, the sun was very strong even for April.”

“My girlfriend and I stayed for a week at the Redington Beach Doubletree.  We absolutely loved it.  She had been several times with her family and had never been disappointed with her experience.  The service was excellent, the staff was extremely friendly, and you can not beat the outstanding views and comfort of staying right on the beach.  The Tiki Bar and deck gives you plenty of space to lounge on a hot sunny day, and you will also have some live entertainment on Fri/Sat/Sunday with a guitar player who covers some summery classics.  I would come back to the Doubletree again and again, and I would recommend this as a great place to stay for any of my friends…You simply can’t beat the friendly service, the pool, the decks, or the beach access to the wonderful gulf shores.  For the price, this place is worth every cent!!”
