“Magnuson Hotel Marina Cove makes a solid case as a family base, with its blend of beach access and that buzzing tiki bar vibe. I think the outdoor amenities-pools, sports courts, and a private beach-are where this property shines. While the rooms seem to be in the process of catching up, the location is a launchpad for exploring St. Pete and its surroundings.”
