HOTEL CABANA CLEARWATER BEACH, Clearwater Beach

Hotel Cabana Clearwater Beach sits on the quieter north end of Clearwater Beach, a 60-second walk from the sand and about 15 minutes on foot from Pier 60, where you'll find restaurants and shops. Central Clearwater Beach is a 6-minute drive away. The trolley stops nearby, providing easy access along the beach strip. Nearby dining includes Shipwreck, Godfather's Pizza, North Beach Pub, and Palm Pavilion, all within a half-kilometer walk. The area combines beachfront access with a relaxed, low-traffic atmosphere.

Accommodation ranges from compact queen rooms to spacious one- and two-bedroom suites. All rooms have air conditioning, a refrigerator, flat-screen TV, and private bathroom. Suites add a separate living area, sofa bed, and a kitchen with stovetop, oven, microwave, and dishwasher. Some suites offer pool views. Standard rooms are designed for two; they are efficient but can feel small for longer stays or multiple suitcases. Bathrooms feature walk-in showers. Bed configurations vary: queen, king, bunk beds, or double. Pillows and mattress firmness differ between units; some are plush, others firm. No rooms have balconies or ocean views. The main hotel rooms were renovated in 2017; vacation-rental-style units were updated in 2019.

Hotel Cabana does not have a full restaurant or bar. Every morning, complimentary coffee (and sometimes tea) is brewed and set out near the pool area (or in the laundry room if it rains). No breakfast or meal service is provided. The surrounding area offers many restaurants within a short walk, including breakfast spots like Clear Sky Cafe (1 km), as well as pubs, pizzerias, and seafood grills. A selection of wine and champagne is available on site for an additional charge.

The property has two outdoor pools - one freshwater heated, one salt-water heated - both open year-round with sun loungers, umbrellas, and pool towels. Pools are heated between October and April. The pool area includes a sun terrace with outdoor furniture and a picnic area. For beachgoers, limited beach chairs and umbrellas are available on a first-come, first-served basis (left by previous visitors or provided by the hotel). Off-site activities within walking distance include snorkelling, fishing, cycling, canoeing, and tennis (free at public courts). The beach directly across the street offers swimming and sunbathing.
