The Luce, St. Pete Beach, a Tribute Portfolio Hotel

8/10 Good
"Property was lively with plenty of outdoor seating at the pool and in the well appointed green spaces. The beach attendant was awesome getting the umbrellas and lounge chairs ready, and the beach waitress served you at your chair from a jeep. Bar tenders at the pool were friendly, efficient and helpful. The food in the restaurant was excellent… much better than expected for this level of hotel. The inside bar staff is having growing pains… not sure if it’s the computer system or the staff input issues or just overwhelm, but there’s a disconnect somewhere. Every day it took quite awhile to be waited on and receive beverages. However, once food orders were input, the food was delivered promptly. Chris was one of the runners and he made things smoother. The wonderful hostess Armani saved the day several times. She’s a gem!! Should be the manager. Great attitude and work ethic… absolutely charming. Overall it was a nice vacation. Grateful my room faced the outside of the hotel because the music was a little loud and intense for me…but from my room, I did not hear anything. I believe it is a little overpriced for the room size and amenities, but also realize it’s a beach resort area, so that may require a premium. I will return… but I won’t come solo… I’ll bring friends!"
