South Tampa Ski Vacations

Everything was perfect

Won’t Be Staying Here Again! Very disappointing experience. We were told over the phone around 1 PM that our room was available for early check-in and that we could go to the hotel. The man I spoke with was not particularly helpful and initially told me that the only way to find out was to come to the hotel. I specifically explained that I didn’t want to drive there just to find out that we had to wait and asked if he could simply check whether a room was available. He then told me that our room was available and that we could come. We left the beach specifically to go to the hotel (4 adults, a kid, and a dog), only to arrive around 2:15 PM and be told the room wasn’t ready yet but would be soon. No one followed up with us, and we ended up waiting for almost **2 hours** until I had to go back to the front desk at 4 PM (our official check-in time) to ask about the room. Also, we had an extra car and were told parking was completely full, forcing us to park elsewhere and pay a significant amount. However, we noticed many empty spaces throughout the night (up to 1 am), which made it feel like the front desk simply didn’t want to help. On top of that, the $80/day pet fee seemed very unreasonable. The property itself was nice, but the poor communication, parking situation, and extra fees made the stay frustrating. **We would not stay here again.**

All was wonderful. We had a problem with the concrete curbs. The curb grabbed our bumper and pulled the front end of our bumper off when we had to back out. It has cost us several thousand dollars for the repairs. Otherwise it was a beautiful facility.

The Jade House is in an excellent location only a block from the beach and short walk to restaurants, shops, and bars. Communication with the management company was difficult through Expedia. Even when I called directly, one of the three client service agents was not helpful whatsoever. However, once I was given the number to text, communication was much better. The pool/ hot tub area is perfect. The house is very comfortable. Only decks are narrow (only stand); ocean view is from one of theses.

We love the hospitality and everyone was so kind. It has been an extraordinary experience with all the staff at The Ritz Charlton. Thank You!!!

A place to relax and enjoy the beach.
