We always go to the gulf beaches either before/after our WDW trip. I have been researching rates for weeks and came across a great rate at the Sirata Beach Resort in St. Pete Beach. For $99 + $12 per day resort fee + 11% room tax -you get a standard room (2dbl. beds, frig, toaster, cabana, phone, parking, fitness center, and some kids activities (the type of stuff they would do around the pool areas-games etc.), paddleboats, watertrikes. This is an awesome rate as these rooms normally go for between $175-$317. This resort has 2 sister resorts within 5 min. walk and you can use any of the facilities at all 3 resorts. The rate is good selected dates in Feb/Mar/April. We stayed at one of the sister properties about 7 yrs. ago and service was good and our daughter loved the kids program. I've gotten so much helpful info from these boards and hope some of you can benefit from this info.
