Jimmy's Beach Rides will pick you up in a golf cart and shuttle you up and down the beach very cheap.

Not for Smoker's or those that like to sit...
Overall the hotel was wonderful. The rooms and the entire property are smoke free. They make you sign a waiver stating that you won't smoke in the rooms or EVEN on your private outdoor balcony. unless you wish to be charged an additional $150 fine. Yet, there are ashtrays like every 30 feet and you can smoke anywhere outside they told me except by the pool. I was very confused. - As far as the sitting down and room comfort, there was no sofa or comfy chairs in the rooms besides two stiff chairs, 4 bar stools and the beds. Nothing to get comfortable on to watch TV beside the beds. Kinda awkward.

Love the Beaches
Fun TI Stay
Hotel was not anything special but is definitely in a great location. Close to shopping - little store, Walgreens and Publix - Surf Style too. Close to a variety dining options from more elegant to quick and easy and of the town not just fast foods. Ricky T's is a must visit for drinks and music. The beach is beautiful with a 2 mile walking sidewalk/path.

First time twice
In 14 years of traveling to vacation spots along the Gulf Coast this is the first time we have stayed at the same location twice. We love the clean, sandy beaches and Bilmar provides a very clean, comfortable setting and the hotel couldn't be more hospitable! An added bonus this time (that we did not know about in advance) was the free entertainment including Sawyer Brown and fireworks on the beach! There were amusement rides, vendors and food stands as well. Overall a great vacation! p.s. If you are staying here, be sure to make the short drive north to John's Pass!

Great location, Great hotel
We only stayed here for two nights but I was very impressed with the Bilmar and if I ever come back to Treasure Island would definitely stay again. The room was decent size, clean and had a great ocean view. The location honestly couldn't be beat...right in the heart of Treasure Island with lots of bars and restaurants within walking distance and it also backs onto the beach so you can go straight from hotel to beach in a second.

Middle Grounds Grill is slightly more expensive than some of the other places around but the food is excellent, our waitress was super friendly and helpful and on Thursdays they have half price martinis which are to die for!

Relaxing week in the sun!
Our 1 week escape from the cold Canadian winter was enjoyed at the Bilmar. Although familiar with the area, we had no experience with this resort and booked on line with the hopes we would not be disappointed...and we were not. Our Gulf front efficiency unit on the ground floor provided a nice little patio with great beach access. The room was clean, comfortable and met our needs for our own cooking, even with the minimal amount of cookery provided. Location is excellent, and includes access to a nice cement walkway running approx 1 km along beachfront. Although the facility shows its' age in style, every effort has been taken to update it, and attention to cleanliness is evident.

Blizzard relief
Escaped 3 feet of snow to a wonderful gulf coast beachfront resort. Should have paid extra for the deluxe suit that would have added a balcony but for the price the gulf front suite was great! Great sights, great sounds and so warm..... the happy hours was supper reasonable and the food at the hotel spots was great. Would definitely go again. Bar across the street a bit loud

Great location on the beach
We booked an inexpensive room and got what would have been better rated as 2 star. Rooms in the newer building, which cost a lot more, were probably much nicer. Our room was clean but run down. The location was great, and the view from our windows was perfect (no balcony), The bathroom was cramped, and the tub puddled in the middle from age.
