Thunderbird beach resort5/8/2023 ![]() ![]() It may not have been the most fancy accommodations but it had everything we desired and was clean and comfortable, and you can’t beat the location. I would stay here again based on the entire experience it provided. It was a great spot to hang out alone and with the kids. They provide tanning chairs, tables, corn hole, and a few other games. Live music was played during the afternoon and evening out on the beachside and they have a tiki bar that sells drinks. There were two pools available to swim in and an adult only hot tub. The housekeeping staff was very helpful to get us the extra blankets we needed for my kids. Because of the build date the room is a little tight and you can tell it isn’t brand new but that didn’t bother us because all paint was fresh and it was clean. I believe it was around in the 50s, they have a cool picture showing it back in it’s prime. The hotel side we stayed on was definitely older but it was kept up and remodeled. You literally walk out your door and then head to the sand. It's about an hour from Tampa Airport in traffic. There's plenty of restaurants on the street in general and good souvenir shopping and there's a trolley / bus that goes downtown. You can walk on the beach to great restaurants like sloppy joes. Lots of fun but not so loud and noisy or Rowdy that it's like spring break. It's a low key crowd basically middle age and families. Which that's very important for the general ecosystem. It's so clean and it's very wide and it has its own patches of grass trees and habitat right before the sand. They have housekeeping suites with parlors and kitchenettes and we stayed in one of those this time. It's not a high-rise experience it's more like a village. We love the Retro feel and that you're right on the beach. The place is well kept and that's a lot of work for a mid-century low-rise hotel. ![]() ![]() WiFi and parking are free, and this hotel also features an outdoor pool. Johns Pass Village & Boardwalk is minutes away. It's not eco-friendly because I don't think a lot of Florida recycles it's not entirely their fault.

We're sorry they haven't replaced the Italian restaurant with something in the main building it would be very nice. We love the Thunderbird we've been staying on and off for decades. ![]()
