“Horrible Management”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 February 2012

people found this review helpful

If you plan to stay in the beautiful area of Palm Harbor, FL, don't chose this motel. Not only is the place very unorganized, the staff is extremely unprofessional and the manager, "Dave" is the most arrogant, misleading, waste of a position at a motel I've ever had the displeasure of meeting. There are some of the most gorgeous and more pleasant hotels in the area, that are very happy to greet you and handle your service with excellent professionalism. Word to the wise, definately choose one of those over this location.

Room Tip: Pick a differennt motel until the actual "Real Owner", hires new management with class an...

“a great place to stay”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 February 2012

we just wanted a place to stay close to my moms house. this was closest and the rates were pretty reasonable. what a surprise! the place looks really neat when you see it, like something on the Mediterranean. the staff was really nice, the room was clean. my only regret is that we didn't spend more time there. the pool and dockside bar looked real inviting.
the only downfall was the traffic noise from rt 19 but that would be the same anywhere on that road. i think it was a very good choice.

Room Tip: we had rm 428 which had a nice view of the canal, the pool and lake tarpon over the treetops

“Perfect location; sparkling clean rooms, super fun place.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 February 2012

This place has everything! I have tried others in the area, and none can beat the Lake Tarpon Resort for value, sparkling clean rooms, lovely staff and free breakfast! Only 5 minutes or so from the Sponge Docks. The Muvico Movie Theater is right across the street from this hotel! The most beautiful movie theatre I have ever seen!

They have different specials every night at the Dockside Sports Bar Restaurant right inside the hotel. Full bar with 2 for 1 specials on any drinks Monday nights! Live entertainment some nights, karaoke and more. Really good food, not just bar food, either. The lobby is super beautiful and everyone is always nice and helpful to me. Very nice selection with their free continental breakfast. Bass fishing excellent right off the seawall out back, if you know how to do it right! Lovely pool and spa, also sparkling clean. You can also eat outside with a lovely view of the water with boats coming in and out of the area.

Room Tip: The a/c units are super quiet here. I like the rooms that are right over the water; super cool!

“we shall return”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 February 2012

stayed at the hotel 2 nites and had a wonderful experience, especially with the kind and helpful staff: Lily, Chris and Penny, Glenn, Dave and Lori.
We hope to come back during the warmer months to enjoy the relaxing pool area.
We also had a great time and excellent service at the dockside bar

Room Tip: we had room 416, wonderful view
