LOCATION
Relax, refresh, and recharge on the waterfront in Tampa Bay.
Set on 35 newly renovated acres along the water, our hotel offers a serene natural setting just three miles from Tampa International Airport. Guests can enjoy birdwatching along the boardwalk, spotting manatees from the boat dock, strolling the scenic 9.5-mile bayside trail, or unwinding at one of two outdoor pools. Experience Tampa like a local in villa-style casita rooms, located steps from the bayside pool and the award-winning seafood restaurant, Oystercatchers.
