Top Blue Water Explorers Hotel Reviews

Tropic Isle at Anna Maria Island Inn

10/10 Excellent

"My favorite place to stay when visiting Anna Maria. Our first time was 6 yrs ago and the recent renovations are beautiful!! Spacious room and bathroom, the king bed was super comfortable. The staff is super friendly and helpful, there are beach chairs and umbrellas you can use. The only thing I would recommend is a microwave or a room in the facility to warm up food. Traveling with children and we had leftovers from a restaurant we tried. Other than that, it was a wonderful stay!"

Seabreeze at Anna Maria Island Inn

8/10 Good

"They should let you know there are two buildings for Seabreeze. I found the sign in front of one but could not locate our room. I had to called them back and she told me go next door. Would have been useful info. Also some type of shelf in the shower for razor, bottles, etc., would have been helpful as there was nothing. Also there was an espresso machine but no regular coffee. All-in-all, it was nice and right on the beach. Service was excellent otherwise."

Pelican Post at Anna Maria Island Inn

8/10 Good

"We loved the accommodations, everything was very clean. The only critical thing was the light coming into the room at night. It was like daylight in the room all night from the outside lighting. Other than that, we loved it. Nice bed/ bedding / towels, pool, close to beach, great restaurants etc... we will definitely recommend to other travelers and we'll likely be back."

Silver Surf Gulf Beach Resort

10/10 Excellent

"Great Stay! 2nd time here and will be back next year, a well run property, staff is Excellent and on there game!"

Captain's Quarters at Anna Maria Island Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Would definitely stay here again. Very clean. Close to the water in both directions. Walking distance to food options, bars, and a convience store. Several nearby sports bars if you want to watch a game while your there. Perfect for a solo traveler or a couple."

Anna Maria Island Beach Waves

10/10 Excellent

"Overall excellent property in excellent location. Super clean, including the pool. Minutes to the beach and short walk to several bars and restaurants. Parking onsite is great due to limited parking on island. Only issue with the residence was the blinds are in rough shape and fall off when opening and closing. Highly recommend. Would stay there again."
