The 156-room mid-range Grand Plaza Beachfront Resort Hotel & Conference Center is right on the Gulf of Mexico, a five-minute drive from the shops along Corey Avenue in St. Pete's Beach. Rooms are modern and fresh, with microwaves and mini-fridges, and some have spectacular views of the bay or gulf. The revolving restaurant on the top floor is popular with both guests and locals, and the expansive events space draws both social events and business gatherings. There is also a pool and fitness center, as well as a beachfront bar. Families may want to check out the Guy Harvey Outpost. It's similarly priced but offers more activities for children.

A sprawling, 584-room resort located directly on St. Pete Beach, TradeWinds Island Grand Beach Resort has put effort into its grounds and interior, from the palm tree-lined lobby and warmly decorated rooms to the impressive outdoor pond with fountain and covered walkways. The hotel sits on 20 acres of beachfront property and offers a number of water sports, including a giant slide, as well as several dining and entertainment options that are great for families with kids. This upscale resort even packs a bit of a value, as all modern rooms include kitchenettes, but a pesky resort fee is a major downside.

The Dolphin Beach Resort is a 173-room mid-range property situated on the white sands of St. Pete Beach. Interiors of the resort are aged and in need of an update, though reasonable rates give this resort good value. The colorful rooms have basic furniture along with modern conveniences such as flat-screen TVs, mini-fridges, microwaves, and coffeemakers, though decor is dated and some guests complain of noisy air-conditioning units. Many ground floor rooms have direct access to the beach or pool area -- a perk that is worth the extra cost. Though interiors are lackluster, the grounds of the resort are lovely, with a large pool surrounded by many sun chairs and palm trees, and a tiki-style beach bar. The resort’s on-site restaurant, Boca Sands Grille, serves American classics, but there are several dining options within walking distance as well. Wi-Fi is free.
