Palm Pavilion Inn

First, special shoutout to Al, what a lovely person to be working at their front desk. Gave us awesome restaurant recommendations and was a friendly face to say hi to our whole stay. The lovely people(s) who took care of our room (Becky) were also amazing. All of the staff was accommodating and it was a great place to stay!

This hotel is nice, has a local feel to it and you're right next to the beach. Best location in all of Clearwater. Has a nice clean pool. Great for a weekend getaway. I gave four stars because some things could use an update. And shower stall is small low water pressure. Overall, nice place and location!

The location of Palm Pavilion Inn is hard to beat—you’re just steps from the beach, restaurants, and everything Clearwater Beach has to offer. Unfortunately, the hotel itself did not live up to our expectations. While parking is available, it is not free, and there is also a $25 per day amenity fee that wasn’t immediately obvious when booking. We were also disappointed to learn that the beach chairs are not included. There is signage posted at the beach showing the rental costs, and hotel guests have the charges added directly to their room bill. The rooms are quite small and feel dated. The beds were uncomfortable, and the pillows offered very little support, making it difficult to get a good night’s sleep. Overall, you’re paying for the excellent location, but the accommodations and added fees made it difficult for us to feel that the stay was a good value.

New ownership in 2026...they increased prices to crazy stupid high, while the quality of food and service has crashed. A sad year as this 100 year old beach bar for tourists but mainly locals is no more....just really stupid high prices raised by 50% to 70% by new owners. I will seek a different beach bar now. I grew up with this place and now it's just another place owned by New Yorkers jamming it to us locals. ....very very sad ....management is horrible.

We love the beach chair service at Palm Pavillion. This is the only spot we come to in Clearwater. Angelo is the absolute best. Beyond friendly and provides top notch service. We come here about once a week and look forward to seeing him each time.
