The Don CeSar

10/10 Excellent

"Great property"

SkyBeach Resort

6/10 Okay

"We enjoyed our stay at SkyBeach Resort. The room was clean and comfortable, the staff was friendly and helpful, and the pool area was well maintained. Breakfast was good, and the waterfront setting made for a relaxing experience. There are a few areas that could be improved. The Wi-Fi was unreliable in the rooms and around the property. Additional ice machines on the first and upper floors of the marina-side building would be very helpful. For boaters, marina services were limited during our stay. The Dockmaster was not available every day, and there was no marina store or dockside service for essentials such as ice, fuel, drinks, or boating supplies. We were also disappointed that overnight parking required an additional fee for resort guests. This added cost was unexpected and detracted from the overall experience. Weekdays were very quiet, with limited activities available, and the bar closed at 9:00 PM. Most of the entertainment and live music seemed to take place only on weekends. Overall, we had a pleasant stay and would maybe return. With improvements to Wi-Fi, marina services, guest parking, and weekday activities, SkyBeach Resort could provide an even better experience."

Island Grand at TradeWinds

10/10 Excellent

"Great reception staff & valet was very helpful & pleasant. Entrance hallway which leads to restaurant & courtyard is very pretty. Room balcony is small but still nice to have. Parking is way too expensive! Music at the main pool was a little too loud. A bit excessive. Pools were very busy but then that's good for business. Went to beach every day. Just beautiful & staff will insert your umbrella for you. Water was clear & loved walking out along on the sandbar. That beach is hard to beat 💟"

Compass Hotel by Margaritaville Anna Maria Sound

8/10 Good

"The pool and music at sunset was magical! The food is very overpriced and they don’t have enough plastic wine glasses in stock which makes no sense for a room that is 400-500 a night. The beds are nice and rooms were clean! Overall good time and short 25 min walk to the beach!"
