Opened around 2010, the Hyatt Regency was part of the wave of new resorts that reshaped South Gulfview Boulevard and the beach promenade, and it was built more like a condo tower than a typical hotel. Its close to 290 rooms and suites run larger than the beach average, many with walk-out balconies, living areas and dining tables, and many of the suites have kitchens or kitchenettes, up to Gulf-front two-bedroom units. That layout is why families, groups and longer-stay visitors keep coming back: you can cook breakfast, put the kids down in a separate room and still have a balcony over the Gulf. The heated pool deck sits on the eighth floor above the promenade, with a separate children's pool, and the spa (listed as the Sandava Spa) and a fitness center handle quieter hours.
Dining runs from casual to sit-down without leaving the building: SHOR American Seafood Grill has a big patio and a regional seafood focus, including whole local fish, a rooftop restaurant and bar covers the sunset hour, and a grab-and-go market handles coffee and pastries. Children's programs are offered, and bikes, kayaks and beach gear can be rented. Room craft: ask for a Gulf-view balcony on a higher floor, and if you are a family, compare the price of a suite with a kitchen against two rooms plus restaurant breakfasts; the suite usually wins. Book spa appointments ahead in peak months, and walk to Pier 60 rather than driving, since beach parking is the main headache in high season.
Practicals: 301 S. Gulfview Blvd., Clearwater Beach, about 35 minutes from Tampa International Airport. Note that the tower sits on the landward side of the beach promenade, so the sand is a short walk across rather than directly under your balcony. A daily resort fee applies, and both valet and self-parking are offered for a charge. How it compares: Opal Sands puts every room on the sand with a Gulf view; the JW Marriott a short walk south is newer and more luxurious with a rooftop scene; the Hyatt wins on space and in-room kitchens. Fit: families, groups and long-stay visitors who value space and a central beach location. Less suited to travelers who want a boutique feel or a quiet, secluded beach.
