First morning went down for breakfast, instantly noticed the scrambled eggs were at a dangerous temperature, heat level 1 of 10 setting, opened the lid and no steam came out, barely warm. Bacon was almost out, orange juice and coffee empty. This was 1+ hour till closing, there was only 2 customers there, no staff present but a tip jar. Also QR code signs about tipping staff everywhere. Furniture there was uncomfortable and unpractical, more style over substance. Less than an hour later I had an upset stomach. I was out all day and when I returned the room had not been serviced. Next day I skipped breakfast and messaged in the app to please get service. I also noticed that I've made a request two days before checking in for some toiletry items to be delivered, which had not been..

Stayed here three days for work. The hotel is clean. The room is spacious, including the bathroom…read more Bed is super comfortable. Lots of pillows but I brought my own. Lots of reading lights and plug ins for chargers. Temperature of the room fluctuates a lot- sometimes too hot and sometimes too cold. There's a thermostat but it seems I'm not really in control of it? Bathroom has separate tub and shower stall. Large counter for toiletries. The towels are super plush! Not 100% cotton but they're soft and not overwashed. Very nice. The shower needs more water pressure. Also could be a little hotter. There is a small mini fridge but I found that it does not get very cold at all. It doesn't even have a top freezer. So I'd recommend bringing a cooler. There's an ice machine down the hall which I've been using to keep my food/snacks/drinks cold, in a yeti cooler. There is a one cup keurig and they have Folgers and decaf as well as tea. I didn't use it. They don't provide bottled water for it, so bring your own or use the sink. I used the microwave; I was glad to have that. I enjoyed sitting on the couch and enjoying the view outside. The curtains are total blackout and they cover the windows completely. I love that! They also have sheer curtains to allow the sunlight but maintain privacy. THERE IS NO POOL. THERE IS NO GYM. DISREGARD PHOTOS OF THE POOL AND GYM- THEY NO LONGER EXIST. The pool area has been turned into a rooftop bar. Service up there is great. Views are nice, drinks are good. They have a decent menu- it's called perch 360. There was a one man band up there with a keyboard and saxophone. I was entertained. The lobby restaurant I did not visit but there were people having happy hour or early dinner every time I came back around 5:30-630 so it must be popular. It's called 88 keys and I heard a piano playing in there this evening. Parking out back is plentiful and free. The side lot is for the marina and you will get towed at night. It has signs that say no overnight parking. So don't make that mistake. Dedicated smoking area behind the hotel. Entrance from the parking lot in the back with keycard. They have those wheeled carts for your luggage. Elevators are key card only so this place feels safe. Anyone can go up to the rooftop bar without a key though. Desk attendants aren't that friendly- no one greets you when you come and go. They have some flyers by the elevators for local maps and tourism info. They say it's a four star hotel- yet they don't offer very much- no included happy hour or welcome beverage in the lobby, no coffee/tea in the lobby. No turn down service. No bottled water. So- really no benefit to being here v across the street. I did not see any laundry facility here. The best part about the hotel is the location. You can walk to Marion street to enjoy many good restaurants or the other direction to the tiki bar. So I would stay here again because it's nice. But I'd like to have a hotel gym or pool and better service in the lobby. Update : water and coffee available in the lobby but it's kind of later in the morning.

Sunseeker Resort Punta Gorda - Cruise-Like Luxury on the Water…read more Sunseeker is a beautiful, modern resort that truly feels like you're on a cruise ship without ever leaving the dock. The buildings are new, the grounds are immaculate, and the harbor views are stunning. What We Loved * The bellmen and golf cart drivers were outstanding--friendly, welcoming, and always helpful. * The infinity pool is beautiful and offers amazing views of Charlotte Harbor. * We stayed in a spacious, modern villa that was stocked with complimentary snacks, coffee, and sodas. * Stretto Italian Steakhouse was excellent. It's pricey, but the food, atmosphere, and live piano player made it worth the splurge. * The pool food was good, and the service throughout the resort was consistently excellent. Things to Know Before You Go * Entering the pool area felt a bit like going through TSA. Bags are searched, and I even had to remove a banana from my bag, which seemed excessive for a resort. * Outside drinks are not permitted in the pool area. * The Buy One, Get One (B1G1) drink promotion is a bit misleading. It only applies at certain locations and is limited to beer, wine, and well liquor. * Reserved lounge chairs on the 8th-floor pool deck cost $25 each. * During the summer, not all restaurants and shops are open every day. Some restaurants don't reopen until Wednesday, and the ice cream shop closed at 4:00 p.m. on Wednesday, so it's worth checking seasonal hours in advance. * We ate at The Tiki at Half Cracked and ordered the crawfish shrimp & grits. It came in a tomato-based broth, which was unexpected and made the dish more acidic than we expected. It wasn't our favorite. * Several amenities and entertainment ended earlier than advertised. A number of venues closed early, and one evening the live band finished before its posted end time, which was disappointing. Overall Experience One unexpected bonus of visiting during the week was how peaceful the resort felt. There were plenty of open lounge chairs, the pools weren't crowded, and it was easy to relax. By the weekend, however, the resort became much busier. We couldn't find a pool chair by 12:30 p.m. Overall, Sunseeker is a beautiful destination with a luxury, cruise-like atmosphere, excellent staff, and comfortable accommodations. While some policies, extra fees, seasonal hours, and early closures took away from the experience, we'd still return and would recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing waterfront getaway.

We stayed at Sunseeker Resort over the July 4th weekend, so we fully expected it to be busier than…read morenormal. Overall, we had a wonderful vacation, but there were definitely some highs and lows. Let's start with check in. When we arrived, the lobby looked like the entire state of Florida had decided to check in at the exact same time. The line was LONG, but to their credit, it only took about 25 minutes. Before our stay, I specifically called the resort because my husband has severe allergies and asthma triggered by pet dander. I was assured we'd be placed on a non pet floor. At check in, we reminded the staff again, but unfortunately, we were assigned a room that had very clearly just had a pet in it. Within five seconds of walking inside, my husband's allergies went into overdrive. Thankfully, the front desk was very understanding and immediately moved us to another room, and inside that room he had no issues. However, there were at least six dogs on our floor during our stay, so every walk to and from our room caused his allergies and asthma to flare up. What was really disappointing was finding out at check out that there is actually a pet free tower specifically for guests with allergies. Had we been placed there from the beginning, it likely would have made a huge difference for my husband. Now for the MVP of our trip, Lauren Hill. She is the manager at level blue & she completely turned our experience around. When we booked our hotel stay, I was able to reserve lounge chairs for July 5. At the time, I was told that July 4 would be first come, first served and that reservations would not be accepted because of the holiday. However, when we arrived on July 3, we were told that all of the lounge chairs for July 4 had actually been reserved and were completely sold out. Needless to say, I was frustrated. While ordering drinks at the adult pool, I noticed Lauren helping one of the servers and asked if she was a manager because she was dressed a little differently. Thank goodness I did! She listened, genuinely cared, and somehow worked her magic to secure five lounge chairs for us on July 4. She also told us about the rooftop fire pit reservations for the fireworks, and we were able to book one of those too. Lauren did not just solve problems. She made us feel like valued guests. She is the definition of outstanding customer service, and honestly, if it were not for her, this review would look very different. Sunseeker is incredibly lucky to have her. She deserves every bit of recognition for the way she takes care of guests. The rooftop fireworks experience was a lot of fun. Watching both the fireworks from the adult rooftop should have been the perfect experience. Unfortunately, several people who had not paid for reserved seating decided to stand directly in front of us, completely blocking our view of the county fireworks. It would have been nice if staff had stepped in since many guests had paid for those premium seats. Thankfully, once the resort's own fireworks began, we had an incredible view. The resort absolutely knocked their fireworks show out of the park. It was beautiful! Now...the food. Unfortunately, the food was the biggest disappointment of the trip. I ordered the tuna poke bowl, and the tuna was a grayish brown color that did not exactly inspire confidence. But the real surprise was the two scoops of white rice, which were completely frozen solid. I honestly did not know frozen rice was a thing, but apparently it is. The pizza downstairs was ok. We enjoyed the BBQ Chicken pizza, which was our favorite. The family pool was beautiful and had a great atmosphere. One thing that caught us off guard was the towel policy. The lounge chairs had noticeable mold and mildew stains on them, so I asked for extra towels, . I was told the policy was strictly 1 towel per person. I'm sorry this is luxury Hilton Curio Collection resort, not a holiday inn.. Buy more towels so you can accommodate your guests, or have chair covers like do they upstairs at level blue. Now for the best part. The resort itself is absolutely stunning. The adult only rooftop pool and bar are incredible, the family pool is beautiful, and the rooms are gorgeous with floor to ceiling windows overlooking Charlotte Harbor. Waking up to those water views every morning was pure bliss. Despite a few frustrating moments, we genuinely enjoyed our stay. The beautiful property, amazing pools, incredible fireworks, and exceptional staff made for a memorable Fourth of July weekend. If there is one area Sunseeker could really improve, it is the quality of the food. The resort itself feels like a five star destination, but the dining simply did not match the caliber of the property. Elevating the food experience would take this resort from great to truly exceptional. And one last time, Lauren Hill deserves every bit of recognition she can get. She did not just improve our stay. She saved it!

The first room they gave me smelled so bad, I honestly thought I was on a prank show. They said it was there last room, so I tried to endure it. Then the fridge started buzzing so loud there was no way I could sleep. So at 11:30pm, I went and told them I had to leave and that I couldn't stay there and only when I said I was leaving did they move me to another room. Both rooms were absolutely disgusting. Brown stains (blood or poop, you decide) on mattresses, carpet, etc in BOTH rooms. Bugs (knats I think?) I would have slept in my car if I didn't have to show up presentable to a work conference the next day. DONT STAY GERE

Hotel Punta Gorda was one of the first buildings of any kind constructed in Punta Gorda. It was…read morelocated at the southern terminus of railroad service on Florida's west coast, which was provided by the Florida Southern Railway. The hotel was built by Henry Plant who was known for building grand hotels on Florida's east coast like the ones Henry Flagler was building on Floridas east coast. Hotel Punta Gorda was one of 20 grand hotels built in Florida in the 19th century when it opened in January 1888. During it's first season it served over 3,300 guests which was quite the feat considering the area was sparsely populated. The three story building contained 150 rooms all with a view of the waters of Charlotte Harbor. The Queen Anne style included clapboard siding, multi-paned windows, round conical roofed towers and a hipped roof. Not everyone was enamored with the beauty of the hotel. Reporter Mr. Peeples from the Punta Gorda Herald wrote in 1910: "The big unsightly building known as the Hotel Punta Gorda continues to be an eyesore and an incubus to the town and there seems no prospect that it will ever be anything else. ... The huge old hulk standing idle and ugly for nine years past is actually a curse to the community." Located in a remote area of Florida the hotel still had many modern conveniences like gas lighting, electric bells, steam heat and open fireplaces. The grounds were beautifully landscaped with camphor trees and palms. Visitors to the hotel included wealthy and notable snowbirds Thomas Edison, John Wanamaker, W. K. Vanderbilt, and the Samuel Colt family. The hotel declined through the years and closed in 1914. In 1924 Barron Collier purchased the hotel and changed it's name to the Hotel Charlotte Harbor. Over three years and $250,000 he remodeled the hotel and expanded the grounds. He stuccoed the exterior, added a fourth floor private apartments, a fifth floor glassed in ballroom, arches to the porch, a boat basin and a 176 x 80 foot swimming pool. In 1927 two clay tennis courts were put in for famous tennis player Big Bill Tilden who started his career in Punta Gorda and he won a tournament here in 1931. Reopened on January 2, 1927 the hotel flourished again with many famous guests until the Great Depression 5 years later. Upon Colliers death the hotel was sold to G. Floyd Alford in 1944 and he let Martin Fleischman take over the mortgage in 1956. Mr. Fleischman changed the name of the hotel to the Charlotte Harbor Spa and poured money into turning it into a health retreat but it never turned a profit. A fire on August 14, 1959 provided the death knell for the hotel. The fire could be seen or 25 miles and firefighters were called out from three counties. At one point the fire threatened to engulf the rest of the town. By the time the fire was put out there was only a blackened chimney and the twisted metal of the elevators left. The cause of the fire remains a mystery. A dedication ceremony was held on September 9, 2009, at West Marion Avenue for the historical marker. It was paid for by the Charlotte County Historical Center and the City of Punta Gorda. All that is left as a reminder of the hotel is this marker, a downtown mural, and the hotels fountain that sits in Punta Gordas History Park. The land the hotel sat on is currently for sale.
