Safety Harbor Resort and Spa

So yes its a little pricey. But they were able to get us in at the last moment . They have fantastic live events. Karaoke , a spa with fantastic options and Sunday brunch is to die for. 12 bottomless mimosas . Seriously and the rooms were so nice.

We had a gift cert for lunch and a massage. This is a great place to relax by the pool, tiki bar area, or hot tub. They have a sauna area too, but it currently under maintenance, so we could not use it. Our massages were great. Every provider does things a little differently. You can get manicures, pedicures, facials, and massages. Wraps and whatnot. This is certainly a full service spa. Pricey? Yes, but they are always running specials on their gift cards. The staff is friendly and accommodating. I cant wait to go back for a facial. Parking is hit or miss, so i opted for valet so i didnt have to keep circling the lot. To me, it was worth the $15.

I love safety harbor, the rooms were clean a little outdated. The pool was amazing. We love the spa experience. The staff was friendly. Daniel was amazing when we got to the hotel he took the time to show us around. We didnt experience any haunted events i love the history of the hotel and would definitely come back.

Go for the spa and the mineral water pools! Staff is excellent! These guys care about this place and it shows. Spa services were excellent! One con - rooms need a little refreshing, at least in the area we stayed in. It is a historical property so they may be limited in what they can do, but I would like to see better beds, better seating options, and updated carpeting. Safety Harbor is lovely. You won’t be sorry if you stay here.

My friend and I came for the day and had the Head-to-Toe spa package booked for about 2 months beforehand, had facials, massages and pedicures, and had an amazing day! I was kinda bummed the steam room was out of order for the next 6 weeks, but we spent around 7 hours here total using the sauna and plunge pool, and spent a lot of time at the Tiki bar between spa services (we didn’t want to work out- otherwise there are a bunch more amenities and classes available throughout the day).Overall an excellent experience and if you’re looking for a fun way to spend a day and treat yourself, you’ll enjoy this!

Everything about this resort was so charming and the views of Old Tampa Bay were remarkable... We had the most amazing stay, 72 hours filled with self care, living at the spa, wall to wall art, even a history hall, walks on the trail & pier... We had the best massages weve had in a long time. The food was so amazing, EVERYDAY..lol.. Saturdays are very vibrant, It definitely is not giving a super old feel at all.. Happy Centennial to you all!.. We will be returning soon..

Hotel is a bit outdated but its a great value with old world charm and decor. The outdoor pool and bar area is always inviting with a great lunch selection. LOVE the spa and try to make it a half week spacation annually. Brought my Granddaughter this trip. Her therapist made it a great first facial.

My mom and I got spa services with lunch included and we overall had a decent experience with a few hiccups.I booked the spa services and lunch in advance and when we arrived, we were greeted kindly, but told the person who originally booked our services “booked it wrong”, despite having written confirmations printed in advance. They still accommodated what services were on our booking confirmations.Before we started our spa services, we had lunch and the meal was very good.Once we started our spa experience, I was extremely happy that the robe options were size inclusive and the spa atmosphere was clean, but the air conditioner wasn’t working well in certain areas, which they were fixing during our visit.The Swedish massage I got from Deni was really wonderful. Deni listened to what I had to say about areas to focus on and provided a really great massage. I appreciated his technique and I feel great post massage.If someone is looking for a quiet massage, the walls between massage rooms are really thin, so you will hear people chatting or laughing in other rooms. That part didn’t bother me, but I wanted to mention for those who prefer a quiet experience.When my spa services were over, most water coolers in waiting and locker rooms were empty. When I checked out, there was confusion with each employee I spoke with regarding if gratuity was or wasn’t Included in the spa services I got. This made it difficult to determine the best and accurate tip for my massage.Overall, my massage with the masseuse I had was fabulous, which gives this review the majority of stars, but I feel other things need some work at this location.

Steve Combs is EXTREMELY customer service oriented and shows a GENUINE concern for customer. I am celebrating the 23 anniversary of me and my sweetheart, Robin. Steve made us feel very welcomed unlike the gentlemen working today when we arrived at 200 pm to checkin.

Bad stuff: no springs! They talk about the springs, but they are gone. What? This is why we came. Half the staff are good but half the staff are surely. You have to ask for them to clean your room. What? I know you have to ask for fresh towels but now you have to ask for your room to be cleaned at all. Hard to get coffee except in the restaurants. Good: interesting place, great massage, good spa services, good food. Weekend was 50/50.

Old-school charm with modern conveniences and beautiful views. We thoroughly enjoyed the room, food, pool and overall atmosphere. We took advantage of the Harbor Splash package for breakfast, dinner and unlimited drinks throughout our stay. Portions were good and selection aplenty. Dont miss Joe at the omelet or pasta station! Charlene served us both evenings for dinner and was attentive and delightful. Plenty to explore within walking distance including the fishing pier which is home to a manatee family! Ample outside seating and indoor lounges and conversation spots surrounded by artwork. Appreciated waterbottle filling stations throughout property. We did not have time for a spa treatment this time but will be back to experience the mineral springs!

This review is about the spa only. This facility should be ashamed of themselves. My husband spent $450 for a spa package for my daughter and I. Facilities are in disarray. Robes were stained . Dirty walls. Bugs in the pictures on the wallIn hallways. The place is like a step back to the 80’s …. But dirty. They need to update this place if they want to continue to be open. There were some friendly employees , but some acted like they are not having a good day. The massage therapists did not introduce themselves and basically just wanted to get us on and off the table. My male massage therapist could be heard pulling up his zipper, right next to my ear. A little disconcerting to say the least. The nail salon is huge and outdated. The saving grace were your two nail technicians. Great personalities! I wish i could post the pictures i took.

I came to The Real Tea Party today at resort. Chris and Daniel waited on us for the ENTIRE event. These gentlemen were AMAZING! They accommodated all of our needs plus MORE!! Give these dynamic men a raise! They are a great asset to Safety Harbor Spa and Resort.

Went for a spa day with grands. My facial was very rushed and not even 30 minutes. My granddaughters was 30 min. Late so she waited. Both were scheduled for 11.Lunch was excellent but slow.

Stayed here on July 7th to 8th. Asked for room with balcony and water View which I got and they were lovely. On entering the room I immediately noted there was a burn on the rug in the shape of an iron. Called down to reservations to let them know I had not burned the rug and was told they would make note of it. Unfortunately, I did not ask if I was in an area that was non-smoking. Went out on my balcony and group of ladies on the next balcony were smoking that continued from approximately 3:30 to 9:00 p.m. I should have called and asked for a room change but did not. Consequently I ended up not using my balcony hardly at all. When I checked out, I again told front desk about the burn on the rug and that I could not enjoy my patio because of much smoke coming onto my balcony. No compensation was made. I realize this was my fault as I should have called down and asked to be moved to another room. My friend and I did enjoy the Sunday brunch and had great service there with wonderful food. The big surprise was my morning breakfast in the restaurant across from check-in. Steak and eggs and the steak was excellent. Great service there also. Safety Harbor is a Charming town that is fun to walk all around and then out onto the pier and along the water. I did call and leave a message an administration at the resort stating my above complaints. Never heard from anybody. Disappointing but have learned from my mistakes.

We just had our wedding on 5/4/24 at Safety Harbor Resort and Spa and it was a wonderful experience for both us and our many guests flying in from multiple states. Maria, Katie, and Lisa in banquets bartending were exceptional to work with, they all went over and beyond our expectations and made our special day perfect. The food was delicious, the guest rooms large and clean. The pool and tiki bar were awesome as well. If you are looking for a venue for an event of any size, this is the place to have it at. As a bride, all I had to do is provide the table decor, tell Maria how we wanted it to be setup and bring it there in totes. The hotel staff did everything else, they also coordinated with the florist (Flowers by Frances- exceptional; our DJ - Martin - With Luxury Events; baker Chef Mel with Cara Mels bakery) to ensure all items were delivered in a timely fashion. Our wedding was for about 90 people and we also had a meet and greet event there on Friday night for our families and friends to meet- which was also perfectly done.

Stayed with a group of ladies for my sisters 40th. The room was a very nice size for our group. The location is perfect, as there is so much to see and do right there. The resort is definitely rundown, which I was not expecting at all. I travel all over the world and see many resorts and hotels. This place needs a major overhaul. Yes, its huge, but its lacking in maintenance. Theres a very dilapidated sports area. If its not used anymore, it should be torn down. Staff was a mix. Didnt feel very welcoming, didnt get that relax and chill vibe we were looking for as we walked around. The valet guys were great. Our inside restaurant waiter was great. The tiki bar bartenders were split (some were phenomenal, some were just rude). Too many people just coming onto the property, who definitely were not staying there (wristbands should be mandatory, not a suggestion). The main pool was very crowded and cloudy, yuk. The bar food was actually pretty good!. Our favorite area was the spa. We did the amenities at our leisure with no stress or interference. And I have to shout out Cathleen, she did my facial, and it was one of the best facials Ive ever had.My suggestions would be more of a welcome, with more friendly staff. Soft music playing in all areas, and painting and maintenance. Clean that pool each night, please. And check for armbands so paying guests can enjoy what they paid for.

I attended Easter brunch with a friend from New Mexico. We were both impressed. InThe service, food, music and ambiance were all excellent. There were many food options and we never felt rushed.I am also a spa member. The facilities are always being improved upon and management has listened to my input and suggestions. The free spa mineral water and coffee (in locker room) make my day.The Safety Harbor Resort is massive with a lot of moving parts and sections to enjoy. The resort food at the Fountain Grille is plentiful, reasonable and good quality.At times (weekends) the resort can be busy. I try to go early in the day to enjoy the amenities on weekends.In addition, the bay view and walking paths behind the resort add another layer of beauty.Last but not least, the staff and management work to please the customer.Check Safety Harbor Resort and Spa out!

I stayed at this beautiful place for a conference and the staff was extraordinary!! The rooms were gorgeous and had all the amenities that you would need. The only complaint I have is that the only ice machines were located on the first floor. That is so inconvenient for their patrons. I think they need to think about this for their guests. We ate their restaurant buffet on Friday, and the chef cooking everyones meal was the highlight. He was so accommodating to everyones needs and did it with a smile!! BRAVO to him. Overall, the quality of the resort is an outstanding place. I do want to go back with my husband when I have more leisure time.

Do not ever buy a gift card from this place i placed an order for a gift card on 5/9/2024 and paid an additional $10.50 for 3 day delivery so it would arrive for Mothers day well here it is on 5/16/2024 the gift card is still not here so in calling the spa i am told that the card is non refundable and it will take between 5 to 7 days for the post office to get it here now keep in mind Safety Harbor to Tampa is about 20 miles the person that answered phone said that it should arrive around the 23 of May! Great answer great service my wife likes the spa and will never go back to this place again. So as i said NEVER GO TO THIS SPA SERVICE IS DISGUSTING!

I stayed at this resort for a wedding weekend. The wedding took place on site at the resort. I was in the wedding party and me and one other person got food poisoning from the resort’s dinner. I was literally stuck in bed the entire day of the wedding and missed the entire wedding, the reception, and so many moments that I can never get back with dear friends of mine. This place when informed of my condition offered us nothing. They didn’t care. They didn’t ask if I needed soup, crackers, water, etc. This was the worst food poisoning experience of my life, and I served 9 years in the army and ate food from all over the world. I will never stay here again. On top of that, the room had a funky smell to it and they need to clearly redo all of the carpeting. It’s dated and old and smells musty.

Excellent service. We go every other weekend and it really makes a difference. Wonderful staff that caters to your style and type of massage

Wonderful day spa with very professional services. Some areas were a little outdated, but in an elegant way. But what a wonderful place to lounge around all day in your robe, have services, eat lunch (yes while in your robe), and enjoy more services. Downtown Safety Harbor is in walking distance and has many wonderful restaurants with fabulous seafood, but bring your wallet $$$.

I came here years ago and thought it was a great place, not anymore. Dirty water in the pools and hot tubs, rooms that badly need renovations. Some nice furniture in the room, but some major renovations need to be done for charging close to $400 a night. It has potential but they’re just letting it go. For example the thermostate looks like it’s from the 1970’s, you press cooler button and it gets warmer, you press the warmer button and it gets warmer, then you press “room” button and for some reason that button turns the AC cooler. How has this not been fixed in 50 years? Not sure if they try to trick people to save AC electricity but that’s insane for a supposed luxury place. Costs $70 and takes 20 mins to change a unit like that. The landscape of the hotel is great, and it’s in a great location. Other than that it’s a lot of sleepy old people not even any relaxing music in their spa. Complete silence. Barely anyone in there. I’ve stayed at 75 hotels this year and it’s only May. I’d say 30% less price and it would be worth it. Worth noting $55 for breakfast extra $15 if you want unlimited mimosas. I passed on that so can’t comment on the food but within a 2 minute walk there are some nice restaurants.

We purchased a day pass off of their website to go on memorial Day. No where on their website or during the purchasing process did it say they were not accepting day passes on the holiday. The first two people I spoke with said it said it was on the pass but we did not receive a pass, only an order confirmation via email since apparently they use a third party client, Shopify. It is not stated anywhere else that they would not accept day passes on the holiday. The valet lot was practically empty and the regular lot had a lot of open spaces as well. The only positive return on this was the refund was easily processed.

Well this will officially be the last chance I give this Resort. It’s unfortunate because I have stayed many times and often did business meeting here and bought ridiculous amounts of spa packages for clients. Well, when it came time for my retirement age parents to come to town. One with a handicap/wheelchair. They came to visit to assist me prior to my breast cancer surgery and have a couple nice days prior to my surgery. So let’s begin……1. Most of the place was not wheelchair friendly.2. The electricty went down. When it kicked back on eventually. Our refrigerator went out. The next morning when we went to get our leftovers from an expensive dinner the night before. The woman (supervisor) at desk was beyond rude and acted as I was a complete inconvenience to her. They replaced the fridge in the room. Yet this woman made me bring all the food to the front desk, so she could estimate it. She credit $40 on my bill which wasn’t even close to what we lost. Nor did she even attempt to call or explain how she came up with this number.The 3 days we stayed I had made probably 10+ trips to the front desk because no one would service me over the phone or room. Did I mention I have CANCER! They could see this was physically killing me, bald headed, and bone pain throbbing each walk down.4. I was checked into my room. Two adults and two children. Paying for poolside. To avoid carrying bags and walking and stairs etc on my ailing body. I walk in and it’s 1 king bed instead of two queens. So she again rudely without a bit of professionalism or empathy never even an apology of yet again another trip to the desk. Moves me up to 2nd floor in some handicap room. I asked twice if I would be refunded for the extra money I spent to have poolside. On final bill it was not refunded. Of course that morning at check out. No supervisor were available “and there is nothing I can do”.I chose this place because I knew it catered to retirees in the area. It is NOT safe.The ground around the pool is scolding hot! I literally ended up with blisters on the bottom of my feet. Why would they not build a more heat proof walk way?!They had no one cleaning around pool and all trash from night before still littered the pool the next morning. It was disgustingSave your money and peace of mind and go somewhere else.

This was an unexpected piece of paradise in Florida. I found this place because it was near Whimzeyland and I was planning a trip there. This is the greatest spa I have been to. The staff from front desk to the bartender in the lounge to the maids right out the door to the valet were perfect in every way. Everyone was happy to help and answered all our questions completely. I think I need to come here once a month. I wonder if they have a discount for frequent visitors?

Fathers Day brunch 2024 was spectacular. Buffet up to par for this resort hotel. From appetizers to entree to deserts amazing. Thanks. Highly recommended.

We went for the 4th of July VIP event. $89 for adults and $59 for kids. First let me say that the cost is supposed to cover everything for the evening, parking, dinner, drinks, a fully inclusive evening. We arrived a 5:45, just after the event started. We were informed that the parking lot for the event was already full. We would need to valet park to be close to the spa, that cost $25 cash. Fortunately I had cash on me, but if the service I had already payed for (parking at the spa) wasnt able to be provided, they should have offered valet parking for free. Clearly the valet staff was not prepared for this because the valet parking was mayhem.The barbeque buffet was subpar; saucy ribs, baked chicken, burgers and hot dogs. The ribs and chicken were baked not barbecue. The sides were just like the potato salad and beans you get at Costco. The dessert was also meh, hard cookies and mass produced pie. They offered only water, lemonade and tea to drink. Really the food was very disappointing. I spent $4 to have a coke with dinner.The saving grace for the night was the fireworks show. They do have an amazing observation deck with a stellar view of the show. There was a live band that sounded great and an open bar. The staff was very nice, lots of friendly faces. Overall, I dont think it was worth the money.

We have been going to their Sunday morning buffet For over a decade now, and recently they raised the prices and removed the fillet from the buffet. Very disappointed that with the increase of prices they still cut corners by removing one of the best dishes which was the fillet. Sorry, can no longer recommend Safety Harbor spa for cutting corners, shame on them‼️

I booked a Fathers Day celebration at Safety Harbor Resort and Spa for my husband, including a brunch, pedicure, and massage. The reservation was made about two weeks in advance, and due to availability, the only massage slot open on June 16, 2024, was a 25 minute session at 12:30 PM.Pedicure Experience: We started the day with a pedicure at 10:30 AM, which my husband absolutely loved. He mentioned it was the best pedicure he had ever received. The staff was professional, and the service was top-notch.Massage Experience: However, the massage experience was far from satisfactory. I had booked a 25-minute massage for both myself and my husband at 12:30 PM (only option available). Upon arrival, we checked in, received bathrobes, and were directed to the locker rooms to wait in the waiting area. Unfortunately, the instructions were unclear, and we ended up waiting in the locker rooms, not realizing there was a different designated waiting area.At 12:33 PM, I ventured out to find someone since no one had come to get us. I encountered two men in the hallway. One of them rudely informed me that I shouldn’t be there and demanded my name. After explaining our situation, he brusquely instructed his colleague to take me for my massage, stating that I was already late.My massage therapist, Yunjie Zhar, was professional, polite, and provided a wonderful experience. I felt relaxed and well taken care of during my session.Husband’s Massage Experience: My husband’s experience was quite the opposite. His therapist, Richie S., was rude from the moment he found my husband in the locker room. He chastised my husband for being in the wrong place, despite the unclear instructions we had received. Richie was visibly irritated, unprofessional, and had noticeably bad breath.Richie led my husband to the massage room and, without explaining who he was, instructed him to lie on his back, stating that due to being late, he would only work on his arms and neck. When my husband questioned the service, Richie rudely remarked about the short duration and the “cheap” massage booked. Despite my husband explaining that it was a special Fathers Day gift, Richie’s demeanor barely improved.The massage itself was subpar. Richie’s irritation was evident, and the session was uncomfortable for my husband. He felt disrespected and undervalued, which completely ruined the experience.While my massage was enjoyable, my husband’s experience with Richie was terrible and unacceptable. The lack of clear instructions, Richie’s rude behavior, impatience, and unprofessionalism overshadowed what was meant to be a special Fathers Day gift. I strongly recommend addressing Richie’s behavior and ensuring better communication with guests to prevent such issues in the future. I do not recommend Richie as a therapist and hope the spa takes necessary actions to improve their service.

I had a facial at this spa on Saturday. I’ve been here for a facial about 2 or 3 times previously. For some reason, I had a severe allergic reaction after my facial and my eyes and bridge of my nose swelled to the point where my eyes could barely open. I had asked the aesthetician to give me a list of the products she used before she did the facial but she talked so much, I suppose she forgot. I would have really appreciated if she had because I could understand what I should stay away from, as I normally never have any allergies and I’ve had numerous facials and regularly use the Eminence products the spa uses. I called the spa 2 days ago and left a message with all these details and they still have yet to return my call. I have been unable to get anyone to answer the phone and I find this pretty unacceptable, as I wanted to try to pinpoint what could have potentially triggered this incredibly uncomfortable reaction.If you’re looking for a spa that actually follows up and provides a real service for the high price you pay, I recommend looking elsewhere. I will not be returning after this experience. Very disappointing.Also, their facilities always seem to be in disrepair and unavailable, as the steam room was broken a few months ago and this visit it was broken as well. There were other things not functioning like vending machines, etc; they clearly need more staff for the facility.

Ive got a family member thats been going regularly for several years, and has brought me there several times. Im not a spa guy but the spa pools have been nice.This year we went again on the 4th and it was very different than last year on the 4th. The dance music at the pool was stadium-loud all day, to the degree that it was impossible to relax in our room. I asked how long it was planned for and the answer was 10:00.When I called the desk at 10:15pm, they seemed confused about where the music was coming from. The pool.When my wife called at 10:3pm, they still seem confused about where it was coming from. The poolSo much for a chill couple days at the spa. At 11:00pm we checked out and drove 2 hours back home.I get it, things change, but the fact that the front desk has no idea whats happening onsite is very concerning. Probably a staffing problem, since the guy at the desk didnt *seem* to speak English very well and didnt process our check out. Now that I think back. The wet smell and dripping ceiling are also probably signs.This spa is on par with a run down turnpike La Quinta now, I cant recommend it anymore.

I gave a Sunday Funday package as a birthday gift. Facials were the best I ever ever had such details! Pool was nice, lunch was delicious and it came with glass of bubbly, nice touch. I added a massage for the birthday girl and she loved it.

Every one of the personnel I interacted with was helpful and friendly, no matter how dumb my question was =) World famous spa services lived up to their rep. Food was great; they knocked my steak frites out of the park. I was afraid the rooms would be a little dated, but they were fine for a weekend stay - roomy, great view, plenty of amenities... and at this Spa how much time was i going to be in my room anyway?!

Customer service was a antiquated as the building. Upon checking in senior guy Allen was upleasantly and slick attempting to overcharge for quest of three for a room for 4. Also bellhop was given cash for valet due to rain but kept the cash resulting in double charge. Also I was further humilated during check in. When the same senior guy that lack customer service skills, stated the only rooms I could be assigned with my Global discovery vacation club would be downstairs away from pool. Room smelled like mold. Carpet was gross. Both rooms 107 and 108 were basically disgusting. Bathtub didnt drain. Bathroom fixture loose and falling off. Engineering was called and he stated this place was due for remolding but costed thousands of dollars. He stuck somethi g into vent to remedy foul stench. Smell got so bad we had to take mom 85 yrs old somplace else for a few days. We stayed gone or at the spa to tolerated and make it through seven days in this nasty. I will not be returning to Safety harbor resort and spa.

I HAVE TRIED CONTACTING AND NO ANSWER BACK HERE IS OUR EXPERIENCE. A TERRIBLE ONE.I am beyond upset with such a high institution treating my family with such lies. My aunt is very particular on where she goes and what she does. Last year for her birthday we all went to a 5 star restaurant to celebrate her birthday, this year in order to celebrate we went to your location to enjoy a gorgeous night inside a nice room to listen to ABBA. She had gone three different times to you guys for New Year’s parties and for another event you guys had and said we would all LOVE going there. On April 6th we got there and to our surprise the table in front the band like my uncle had requested and was told it would be no problem and they would honor it due to my aunts birthday was nowhere to be found. Then it was outside and it was freezing. It was poorly done. The food was hot but by the time we got to the table with no utensils it was cold then we were told they would get us robes they brought towels more than half an hour later. My aunt was beyond upset and ready to leave. She wanted champagne you guys had none in that bar. She was beyond upset and couldn’t enjoy her evening. We all paid around $120 per person and there were 7 of us. My aunt went inside to find someone to complain to as the managers and girls sitting outside letting people in didn’t seem to care. It was obviously overbooked. My uncle didn’t invite my cousin or sister as the site said no kids but there were about 3 kids under the age of 16 at this party. When my aunt went inside she met with a manager who apologized to her and my mother and gave them a bottle of champagne and told them that he would give us in the house 7 brunches but we would have to come back in the next few weeks. Mind you most of us came from Sarasota which is pretty darn far. This is ridiculous to be told now that you want to do half off when my mom and aunt were promised 7 brunches for free I would like an answer by someone who can honor this or get me to someone higher. Thank you

Attended an ALMOST ABBA show on April 7 2024 along with a buffet.First of all, loved the show - everyone danced all night.When we bought our tickets it was NOT disclosed that it was an outside event. Most of us were not dressed properly for the cold - which could have ruined the night (people were wearing beach towels over their dresses)The Event was poorly organized from checking in, wrist bands and seating . Food was scanty - definitely not enough.Cost of this show was $ 116.00 US.per ticket.Drinks were extra at e.g. $10.00 for 5 oz basic wine. We all expected a much better buffet and Costco-like dessert.Employees ran around not knowing what to do.Very unorganized from the beginning.Smarten up Safety Harbor Spa!I repeat … The Band was Superb!!!!!

Great hotel and spa! Very friendly staff, nice amenities. Only suggestion is more chairs at the outside pool at 12 noon on Saturday there was not one available seat. And the buffet was lack luster. At check in I was told it was 7-11 am but the vouchers said 1030. At 1005 it was picked over and cold.

Beautiful old style hotel. The grounds are beautiful. Restaurant is very good. Tiki bar and pool are fun. Safey Harbour is a neat little town. You can walk to a number of shops and restaurants.

We stayed Feb23-25 for my brothers wedding! Everything was excellent from check-in to check-out. The food for the reception was phenomenal. I work in the industry with Wyndham and am very impressed with all staff. Housekeeping was kind. Pool was wonderful!! Great stay!!

My daughter gifted me a spa day for my birthday. The staff is very professional, kind, knowledgeable, and attentive. The food was delightful. We had a wonderful day.

The service, food and rooms are nice and its a great location. But the decor (especially the lobby and the front face) are a bit gaudy. Like, I kept expecting to see a gold painted statue of Zeus somewhere. The White Lotus hotels are demure by comparison.

Love this hotel and location! Everyone is so nice, and Sylvia especially was such a big help!! I can’t thank her enough for her hospitality. I stay here every time for business and pleasure, love the rooms and spa!

This resort is a long Tampa Bay at the eastern end of the picturesque town of Safety Harbor. It is still run the way you would have envisioned a resort operating over the last 50 years and it delivers outstanding service, great food, and althe biggest spa/fitness area I have ever seen. This is now our go-to place when we come to the Tampa Bay area.

Always a great experience. Fantastic customer service all around. Never spent the night but have visited the spa numerous times. Food is amazing. Ask for Alyssa in the nail salon

Love this place! I feel like a Queen here! Very luxurious! Michelle was absolutely amazing making our spa services reservation! I always love coming and hate leaving!

Convenient location here in Safety Harbor, the rooms are clean and comfortable, maybe a bit dated. The pool scene is a lot of kids, drinking and loud music so be prepared for that.

Safety Harbor is a nice place to visit. I was disappointed at some of the daytime staff who lacked great customer service. Smiles and cordial conversation were frequently lacking and it gave me the impression that some daytime employees were not happy with their jobs. Also, the bath tubs are in need of safety bars. That would help greatly.

Great location ! Cute little town with lots of good restaurants and shops.As far as the resort, it needs a little TLC. Needs updating!

The location is great, shops and restaurants are in walking distance. The resort is out of the way of traffic and quiet. The resort has lovely accomodations, from pools, hot tubs, lap pool. I wish I couldve stayed longer

Beautiful place. Wonderful ammeties. And, most outstanding staff. We will definitely return.

Travelling from Houston to Fort Lauderdale over a couple days and decided to stop here for the night. Place was a bit more than I needed but very nice, room was comfortable and clean. Staff was friendly and helpful. Location was great.

We were there for a meeting and the staff, the good, and the facility were so lovely. Spectacular food, stellar service, and a beautiful view. You cant go wrong!

Buffet style not to my liking Id prefer a to order luncheon. Cakes not bakery quality. Pastries were ok. Fruit was not fresh. Main courses were good but not great.

Cant begin to say how much we love our little piece of Heaven in Safety Harbor. Im pretty sure Ponce de Leon found the Fountain of Youth here!!! I feel younger every time I visit!

This hotel is in a pretty area and offers a lot of services. Its expensive to stay here because you book with the expectation that there will be a high service level and attention to detail. We were very disappointed that this was not the case when we stayed and cant justify returning. For example, there is a shop on the first floor with overpriced apparel and goods and no dressing room. You have to guess if it will fit and theres a surprise - no returns. The shop doesnt tell you there are no returns, its not on the receipt and not posted anywhere. You only find out if you try to take it back, at which point youre told sorry.I wont be returning and cant recommend this accomodation based on price or service.UPDATE: I find it indicative of the lack of service that the ownership posted the comment below several months after my stay and attempted to turn it around. There are no signs and it is not on the receipt, by the register, or anywhere. Thats why I won the credit card dispute against Safety Harbor over this issue.Even if what they wrote were true, and they know the signs are hard to spot, why would they just leave them like that? Because there are no signs.If I were you, Id find another spa resort elsewhere, this area is full of very beautiful ones that will exceed your expectations, not underwhelm and then blame you for it.

The front desk check in experience was disappointing. Our room wasnt ready and they were not very accommodating. Breakfast servers in the restaurant were friendly, but hard to locate when it was time to leave. Almost late for my meeting!

We attended the 2024 Easter Brunch and was very disappointed in the food for the price we paid! The lady on the first podium was very rude, we will never attend another one. The buffet line was a hot mess, again very disappointing!

I am very disappointed with the service I have received from this resort. I purchased a package gift for their spa. I have tried to use their system to redeem the package numerous times via phone and email and have yet to ever hear back from their team - over the span of MONTHS. They do not respond to messages at all. The charge processed on my credit card months ago, but because of their lack of responsiveness, I am unable to use the service. It is at the point I am considering going to the resort in person simply to SCHEDULE an appointment due to their lack of responsiveness to their voicemails, phone system or emails. As a first time guest this is very disappointing and feels like a scam. Would not advise prepurchasing anything from this resort.

It’s was a great afternoon lunch at the poolside bar with friends the perfect day trip only minutes away from the airport

Safety Harbor is one of my favorite little towns and we always stay at the resort. Staff is attentive, kind and always so welcoming. I had a stunning sunrise view from my room which was the perfect start to the day. Highly recommend checking out this quaint hotel for your stay.

What a special place! We went for a respite, and we were totally recharged after our restful stay. ALL of our needs were provided!We signed up for the mini retreat. Excellent experience!Rooms were wonderful. We really enjoyed the balconies. Food was great. We had all of our meals at the Fountain Grille. Food and service were fantastic. Favorites dinner item was the Vegtable Stir Fry.Our favorite part was the spa! The amenities and therapist were exceptional! Take advantage of the beautiful atrium. We cant mention each therapist by name, but we have to shout out Mary for scheduling and planning our retreat and informative nutrition class, Shannon for the best stretch experience we have had in years, Nadra for being so kind and helpful, Denny for a fantaboulous massage and Ire for an amazing facial!We cant wait to schedule another visit! Highly recommend!

Absolutely relaxing and first class serviceMothers Day brunch was delicious and very lovely... The Elvis live music was pretty nice nostalgic and fun... 💕 It

Excellent food ,old school charm, very nice atmosphere, the staff was extremely friendly and helpful. A great hidden gem.

We were on a tour with our church group the district sales manager gave us a tour of the facility my wife and I were so impressed we made reservations for our anniversary getaway

My husband and I went here for the Christmas Brunch. It was okay but definitely not worth the money, we requested a table away from the music, well they seated us in the same room as the music there were plenty of 2 person tables in other dining rooms that they could have sat us at. The food was pretty good. They had a lot of selections, I know its Christmas day, but I had to ask for our drinks, I had to ask for our plates to be cleared, the waitress said something about we werent in her section and she was bouncing around to help. Again, I understand it was Christmas, I paid a lot of money for the brunch, and we should have been greeted and explained how things work and who our waitress was. Checking into the brunch, there was a bit of confusion at the second podium,and I feel as though they sat me wherever they wanted. I will not be going back and spending that kind of money again it definitely wasnt worth it.

Tried calling 6 times with no answer to book a spa package because you can not book spa packages online. Left a message with spa with no call back..finally spoke to operator 24 hours later who connected me to a physical person who answered the phone. I was told there was no availability. Tried calling the Fountain Grille restaurant to book a dinner reservation..went straight to voice mail and mail box was full so I was not able to leave a message. Very difficult to book spa packages or dinner reservations when staff do not answer the phone..this is my first time trying to use the services of Safety Harbor Spa..doubtful I will try again after this experience

The Parthenon Bar is a nice intimate outside bar. Wonderful staff (Louise, Winston, Jessie, David, Jamie, Justin, Eric, and Richard), good food, and a beautiful environment make for a great experience. Highly recommend!

My wife found this resort since we needed a place to stay for a night ,but next time we come we will definitely stay for longer. It is located right in the downtown Safety Harbor area which is very charming. The grounds are beautiful and perfectly manicured. The resort itself has an elegant feel. The rooms are spacious and very clean and the furniture is all cherry wood and nicely maintained, no scratches and not cheap looking. There is ample parking and valet is only $15 a night. There are also plentiful amenities such as an indoor pool, sauna and whirlpool as well as two outdoor pools. Really enjoyed our stay.

The spa is amazing! Be advised that clothing is optional in the locker, steam and sauna areas. And children are not allowed there for obvious reasons.

I am a local & was gifted a gift certificate for spa services. I used that last Tuesday and and had the worst massage Ive ever experienced.I actually asked the therapist how long he had been practicing. I felt they took someone off the wait staff to fill in. Definitely NOT worth the $285 I paid for an 80 min massage. Disappointed is an understatement. My husband completely wasted the money here.

I have been coming here for the spa facilities for 12 years. In the past three years these facilities (the main attraction for many) have been in decline. Often the amenities are broken down, there are no towels available, and lately the bathing areas have been over run with a noxious, foul odor. The hot tubs are covered in a thick layer of disgusting foam from guest contamination. Overall the (mens) facilities are just run down and lack the pleasant relaxing atmosphere it once had. I hope they make improvements soon because I really love going here to relax.

Beautiful place, great staff, a little bit of poor staff education and communication, but a nice place to relax. Food was great.

BEWARE the fine print when cancelling a reservation. I was forced to cancel my reservation due to an unexpected severe health event. The policy states a Full Refund when complying with date/time restrictions, which I met. Not only am I NOT receiving a full refund, it will take MANY WEEKS to receive it.

Its an old hotel that could use many upgrades, but I still enjoy my day passes to use the Sauna and Pools. I always have a good time.

Next to the marina and at the bottom of main street, everything is within a short walk. Food is great at the spa and on main street, beautiful views of Tampa Bay

Lovely hotel with an amazing spa and fitness area. Rooms are large, and very clean. The hotel is very historical and you can find a lot of the history downstairs in the main sitting rooms. It is walkable to many dining and shopping locations and the park behind it is absolutely gorgeous. The sunsets are amazing and you wont regret spending an evening sitting or waking the park by the bay simply to enjoy the amazing colors of the evening sky.

Let me first start by saying we live close to this resort and can’t believe how poorly put together the brunch buffet was I had much better hope. It was disappointing at best and cost was outlandish for the quality of food delivered. The setup was done in ten minutes and extremely unprofessional considering what they are trying to convey to their guests. The food was mediocre and almost all options where what looked like left over items from the previous nights dinner buffet just reheated. Such as the salad selections oysters where beat up and not properly kept fresh, the prime rib had no seasoning and was undercooked. The bread pudding tasted like it sat in the batter too long so the yeast turned the bread pudding into a different flavor, the biscuits for the biscuits and gravy where hard little hockey pucks and only part of the inside was edible, and some of the food options where strange “combos” with names that didn’t make sense. None of the foods where kept at the proper temperatures so they all had films and it seems like after being open so long this resort forgot about the number one component to a good resort and that’s quality food! The coffee machine severely needs a cleaning. Next, when I paid at check in, they told me gratuity was included yet our server specifically asked if we had paid a tip already and to leave one for everyone else.. we where shocked… so the resort under pays it’s staff as well which explains the lack of attention all of the servers paid to the tables. We know management is not doing there part and it’s reflected in the workers.I truly hope you take this review seriously to create a positive change in your resort. We are routing for you to make a great comeback so don’t disappoint!

Just returned from a long weekend at Safety Harbor Resort and Spa. I hadnt been there in almost 30 years and was quite curious what to expect. Fortunately, Wyndham Hotels rescued this jewel and didnt let it get bulldozed into oblivion by developers.Now having said that, it is by sheer force of will that the caretakers are able to keep the place as nice as it is. Let be clear: It is not new. It has been updated, refreshed and well-maintained but it is still a place that has been around a long time. Dont be concerned about that.The town of Safety Harbor is very nice with its long main street of stores and restaurants. The walking/biking trail is a highway of people taking the time to enjoy the outdoors. Go to the bays edge and enjoy a walk along the Mangrove trail.Ok, the other side: The place is well looked after, but it still has the design style of the past. Perhaps some style upgrades would be worthwhile. I also noticed what seemed to be some miscommunications with the staff. Restaurant servers who werent sure who was waiting which tables, housekeeping asked do our room.The receptionist at the spa desk who took the time to recommend a different schedule of services for my wife was helpful. That was a nice thing, but spoke to a need for management to work on making sure things ran a bit smoother. No big deal but no 4+ stars for that.The hotel is a keeper. Youd enjoy it. I did, but just remember that it has been around a long time, and while maintained as best as they can considering its age, it might not compete with brand-new place for the modern feel. Personally, I would rather have this classic vibe than the cookie-cutter hotel vibe any day.

Went to Sunday brunch looking forward to good food and good experience. The service was terrible from the poor greeting of the manager at the beginning to the having to get someone so we could pay our bill. The waitress did not check on us the entire time we had to go refill our own drinks and the food was mediocre. Very poor experience. I can’t believe they charge you 20% for their service that was so poor. Will never go again, nor recommend anyone to spend this kind of money for such mediocre brunch

She is an old girl but still just as grand. This place is a hidden gem that had its days in the roaring 30s. The architecture is amazing and the people are friendly. The rooms are outdated and do not have a microwave. They are still clean and usable. The spa and its amenities are top notch. Definitely use them. Great for families and old folks like me. lol.

Although didnt stay for the rooms, I am rating the spa area and the cleanliness of the resort area.The location is great for walking or driving to some great shops and restaurants.All of the main areas like the shops, check-in and larger conference/ballrooms are in great order and very clean.The behind the scenes spa area although clean, lacks the new polish and could be renovated to bring in a modern feel or new feel. It currently has that older club smell and feel which isnt bad, but also isnt good.I will say the massage service (ask for Olga) was amazing. Which is why I rated the service a 5 out of 5.Pools were well kept and at a good temperature. Good amenities such as steam room, sauna, showers.

The spa is a wonderful centralmeeting place in Tampa Bay. There is plenty of space to talk and relax by the pool. We met friends there who we havent seen for a while and enjoyed everything at the spa and downtown safety Harbor

I had a spa package there and while some services were great- this spa is very old. I wouldnt recommend the pedicures. The food was lovely and the dining staff were nice.

Went to the spa for services as a guest with a very good friend of mine. Location is gorgeous! The rooms really needed updating especially where the herbal wraps were done. It seemed like a maintenance room. It was not relaxing at all. It was never explained to us what to expect, what to bring, what not to do ...etc. Once we arrived, again, there was no explanation of what we were going to be doing. There seem to be a lot of confusion. The lunch was fantastic and we had a wonderful time!

2 out of 3 meals were good. My friend ordered the gyro lunch and said the meat was tough and not very good. I had pasta Primavera which was delicious. The 3rd order was salmon and rice which she enjoyed.

Ate lunch with Bonnie here. My goodness they give you a lot of food. The Spa Cobb Salad was delicious. Bonnie got the crab cakes, 🦀 which was also very good 👍 😋. Our server was very good also. Fresh warm bread to eat while we waited. Beautiful day down on the water 💧 on Tampa Bay...

Great place to stay. Best gym Ive ever seen at a hotel. Very nice pools also. Location is perfect!

Omg such a dirty place, the higiene is awful, the showers are gross, the jacuzzi is rotten, green and full of bacteria. When I told the manager about it she did to even care, she treated me very bad .

Perfect for a weekend stay or relaxing just for the day with your partner or friends. Beautiful spa. 4 stars bc the prices are on the expensive side and the staff at the desk are a little unorganized. Food there is great too.

What a great place for an Anniversary and Staycation. You can walk to down town safety harbor and there is a wonderful park along the water. You can even go all the way to the causeway. If you haven’t stayed here you should! You can be active or just pamper yourself with a spa day.

We are planning our 50 wedding anniversary and had contacted 9 different venues. After much deliberation, when it came down to the final 2, we chose another venue. We were disappointed bc the location, cost and venue itself was what we were looking for. However, the person I was dealing with was either too new in the role, incompetent or just didn’t care. The response back time was always delayed, numerous quotes were incorrect and I felt they were not listening to what I was asking or needing. When I left a message on the event supervisor’s phone asking to return my call, she never did. I could not in good conscience go with the resort in fear our celebration would end in disaster.
