Lonely Planet "This Westin does a good job at convincing you not to leave the confines of its 177 acres – it’s that relaxing." Full review
Gayot "Surrounded by water and lush landscaping, this former Wyndham property is one of the premier choices in the area."
Afar Magazine "Relax and restore after a long day at our waterfront island refuge in the heart of downtown Tampa and overlooking the sparkling harbor." Full review
Star Service "Not to be confused with the less engaging Westin Tampa Bay, this local giant, three blocks from the arena and Florida Aquarium, provides all the requisites Westin regulars expect." Full review
Fodor's "Few folks think of the islands when visiting Tampa, but this 12-story hotel on a 177-acre man-made islet is a short drive from downtown Tampa and even closer to the cruise terminal." Full review
