I just had my high school reunion at the Sirata Resort and honestly I wouldn't stay there again. For $119 a day in November I would of liked a better room. For example I like a walk-in shower, not a shower in the tub. My Master card had fraudulent charge of $650 a week later and it hadn't been used anywhere else. Drinks at the pool bar were a can of beer and a chardony were $14. Parking Spaces were limited. The only positive was the food at our banquet was great. Also for sightseeing checkout the boardwalk at John's Pass on Maderia Beach which is just north of St. Pete Beach.
