Mild weather blesses this beachside paradise all year long, with average winter highs in the mid-70s and summer temperatures that are beach-perfect in the low to mid-90s. Clearwater averages 361 days of sunshine every year.

With 99 Hotels, nine B&Bs and Inns, as well as 598 Vacation Rentals, Global Connections, Inc. (GCI) , the highly-regarded travel club fulfillment and service provider, is understandably proud that its 5-Star rated managed property, Bamboo Beach Club, is currently ranked TripAdvisor’s #1 B&B/Small Inn in Clearwater Beach, FL. Located within walking distance of the spectacular beach, this is the fourth year in a row that Bamboo Beach Club has been so honored.

With views of Caladesi and Honeymoon Islands, Beso Del Sol Resort (“Kiss of the Sun”), another resort owned and managed by GCI, is regarded by many to be the best boutique resort in the Tampa Bay area. Located on the waterfront near Clearwater Beach on the Gulf Coast overlooking St. Joseph Sound, the charm and hospitality of “Old Florida” makes this destination a year-round paradise.

Dave Dawson, GCI’s Vice President Resort Acquisitions & Development, also captains the Caladesi Connection ferry boat from Honeymoon Island to Caladesi Island (which is joined by land to Clearwater Beach), shuttling over 100,000 visitors per year. He says “We are grateful the area sustained little to no damage from Hurricane Michael and is as beautiful as ever. We are more than ready to welcome our snowbirds, holiday visitors and Toronto Blue Jays/Philadelphia Phillies spring training fans.”

Tom Lyons, President and CEO of GCI adds, “We are extremely proud of our GCI resorts and also our ability to provide resort accommodations in some of the most popular destinations. With two of our top ranked properties close to Clearwater Beach, our Global Discovery Vacation members and other visitors have the best of the best from which to choose.”
