Alden Suites St Pete Beach Resort Review
Located on four acres of private beachfront, Alden Suites St Pete Beach boasts 141 all-suite rooms. It’s one of the most spacious rooms on the beach! Family-friendly amenities include free Wi-Fi throughout the resort and every guest suite includes plush beds, flat-screen HD TVs, fully-equipped kitchens/kitchenettes, large closets, and comfy living rooms with plenty of space to spread out. Most suites also feature private balconies with stunning views of the pristine white sand beach or overlook to the resort’s lushly-landscaped courtyard. Room rates start at just $111!
The resort facilities are top notch including:
- Lighted tennis courts
- Two heated outdoor pools
- Beachfront bar
- 15 person Jacuzzi
- Beach volleyball
- Shuffleboard
- Cornhole
- Basketball court
- Ping pong table & more!
And with no resort fees, you’ll certainly be saying WOW!
Additionally, Alden Suites Resort offers a laundry facility, a food truck, cookout deck, and area attractions tickets for sale at the gift shop.
One of my favorite things about the property is their beautiful cottage-style beach bungalows, all delivering home-away-from-home comfort and style. Nestled among tropical foliage yet set apart from the rest of the Alden complex, the bungalows have an apartment-like feel and are perfect for romantic getaways!
Alden Suites is conveniently located within walking distance of several restaurants, or stop at the local Publix (they deliver too!) to stock up on snacks and meals as your suite includes a full kitchen! You will absolutely love St. Pete Beach’s white sandy beaches and sparkling water. The resort has on-site water sports like paddle boarding and jet skiing to beautiful sunset cruises. We had the best time on our sunset cruise with Suncoast Watersports, so I highly recommend it! You can also rent a yellow cabana right on the beach then take in the beautiful surroundings while using the resort’s beverage service.
