Independent Anna Maria Island hotels

"The hotel and property is great mainly because it’s new. However you must be careful to ask what side your room is facing because “beachside” means to most people that you are getting a room that faces the beach. Not so with their meaning of beach side. “Beachside” for them is a room that faces the street where cars pass by. “Beachfront” means you are getting a room that faces the beach for them. So be careful and sure to ask what you are getting as I was fooled. "

"Very nice rooms and location "

"I want to highlight the excellent services provided, especially by Noah, who was fantastic. However, I did have a less-than-ideal experience with the staff member managing the umbrellas. She seemed a bit aggressive regarding the tiki area and asked us about our room checkout in a manner that felt rude, almost as if she thought we were taking advantage of our stay. It would be helpful if the communication could be more friendly and understanding in the future."

"This is a great place to stay, room was very clean and fresh!! 100% recommended!!"

" We had an absolutely amazing stay at Anna Maria Island Resort! The rooms were spacious, beautifully maintained, and incredibly comfortable — the perfect place to relax after a day in the sun. We especially loved having the Lavazza coffee machine in the room; such a great touch to start the mornings right. The resort truly thinks of everything: fresh towels, umbrellas, beach chairs right on the sand, and a lovely pool for the kids. Shower outside, new property so it’s even nicer in person. Jose at the lobby was amazing and made our experience even better. overall all the staff was kind and friendly. We can’t wait to come back! "

"This was one of my favorite places I visited this year , I was so please with everything. Property felt so well taken care of , amenities perfect! Love you can use the beach chairs from other properties. The location is spot on from restaurants and bars. Im coming back! Parking perfect! The island was affected by the storms and they done a excellent job! "

"Extremely clean. Friendly, helpful staff that went above and beyond. I traveled with my teenage daughter and her friend and we never once felt unsafe. I was fine using the free trolley transportation up and down the island, but the girls talked me into renting a golf cart. That did provide more freedom for our short time there. The resort has golf carts for rent. We will definitely be back! "

"The beach and ocean are right out the sliding glass doors. Lounge chairs and umbrellas provided, aa are beach towels. Its such a privilege to be right on the beach with that turquoise water to gaze at. There's a nice, small pool available, too. Since the entire hotel only has a few rooms, a small pool is fine. It doesn't need to be bigger. The room itself is modern, immaculate and comfy. We had a king suite with a couch and two person dining table. The hotel fridge is deceptively roomy. We went to celebrate my birthday, and the hotel manager had called with a few questions, including asking about a special occasion They had a nice bottle of champagne with a birthday card set out for me as a free surprisw. We plan to return to this little inn--often. A new favorite destination. Go. You'll love it. "

"Beautiful room, it was clean and had everything we needed. The attendant at the front desk was really nice and sweet and helpful and so were the other employees. It was right on the beach. They gave us complimentary drinks at the bar which was amazing! Would come back again. "
