Thank you for cary
Pros:

I cannot say enough great things about Kim and Roberto! They truly made this experience so memorable and special. From the very beginning, I genuinely felt like they cared about us, listened to our needs, and went above and beyond to make sure we felt supported every step of the way. Their kindness, professionalism, and attention to detail made all the difference. You can tell they are passionate about what they do and truly care about the people they serve. Thank you, Kim and Roberto, for creating such an amazing experience — it meant more than words can express!

So Happy to see our Favorite Mix Master
Pros:

I am very familiar with the Harbor Island area of Tampa from living there many years ago. For the views and familiarity with the area, I like to stay at the Westin.

I arrived a day ahead of my group and was I happy to find a smiling face, that I recognized behind the bar. Sylvia was there to mix me some yummy creations, keep me company, and make me feel right at home!
The food, as usual, was wonderful as well.
The customer service at the Westin…especially behind the bar…does not disappoint!
Bravo again to Westin!

Stay at this hotel!
Pros:

My wife and I stayed at this Westin recently and were very impressed at how on top of everything the staff were. The valet, front desk and housekeeping folks are all customer service experts. The rooms are large and very clean. We enjoyed the pool and the view of Tampa Bay. The drinks were also amazing. It's pet-friendly, to boot! We'll certainly be back soon.
