We rented a Gulf front king room. The beaches in this part of west Florida are quite wide so even with Gulf front, you still have a bit of a walk to get to the water's edge, but the view is unobstructed. Lower units offer easy access to the beach, but higher units offer a slightly better view. The beds... More

Our second year at the Alden. People that stay here know what they want on a vacation and come again and again. Beach front room is nice but not always what everybody needs. We have received the smaller balcony beach front for two years. Everything you need is here. Did enjoy getting back to my own mattress ..smaller hotels don't... More

Is Cali still working at the beach front bar? We were there last September and she made our trip for us. I'm returning in June to get married and would love to take the group down to the bar and have her fixs us up one of her famous Rum Runners!

Wedding reception outside on a Saturday night and people occupied the outside bar. Extremely loud until 1am couldn't take it anymore, called front desk. They sent security (yeah right). At 2:30 a.m. called again and security finally shut the lights off on the bar, sent the people back to their rooms. A lot of smokers, a girl almost drowned (but... More

One of the best places to stay in the St. Pete/ Clearwater area. Try to get a beach front room, not a Bermuda room. You will like the beach bar and the white sand beach. The bartenders are great and there are lots of great restaurants around.

I booked with Travelocity for the Gulf front room, due to the hotel itself not matching the price found on the web, even though they say they do. And now I am scared, our family will be put in the same situation. We stayed at the Alden before and had a Run of the House room, but was booked thru... More

My daughter, 2 grandchildren and I just stayed at Alden Beach Resort. For weeks and including the day of checkin I begged for a ground floor suite. I booked a Gulf Front Suite on Hotels.com (which I have used for many years and many, many bookings but will never use again) and was put in the WORST suite possible. The... More

My sister and I stayed at Alden Beach resort April 2013. We had selected the resort from options found on the internet. When we arrived we were greeted by friendly and helpful staff. Our room was clean and tastefully decorated. The kitchen was adequately stocked with needed cooking and eating supplies. The two pools and hot tubs were great. More... More

I stayed at the Alden for a few nights for wedding. I had a Lanai suite, with a beautiful ocean view. The rooms was very clean and well maintained. The beds were very comfortable. I was thrilled to have a stove and tea kettle so I could make tea in the morning! There were plenty of towels and amenities in... More
