Top Blue Water Explorers Hotel Reviews

Tropic Isle at Anna Maria Island Inn

10/10 Excellent

"It was the Best place on the beach."

Silver Surf Gulf Beach Resort

10/10 Excellent

"Great customer service and nice rooms. Great to have the beach right across the street!!!"

Pelican Post at Anna Maria Island Inn

10/10 Excellent

"The place was clean, well kept and offered everything you need to be close to bridge street and the beach with a nice pool and very convenient parking and access to the key band which is also nice because you simply put it on your wrist, although a code with a keypad is also very nice would seem to make sense given it can be programmed. We stayed one night on a Saturday so perhaps my judgement of the cost is a bit stern. However, I can stay at the Perry Hotel in Naples for less, my only point. Nice bed, very comfortable, great communication, not sure why I needed to leave a card for incidentals unless its if there was damage to the room. I was unable to find local channels/Cable unless I missed something, no instructions for internet, if I were there for more time it might have been more important. Perhaps there was instructions on their website not sure, something future guests might want to know. Overall I gave a great rating."

Seabreeze at Anna Maria Island Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Very nice and comfortable for couples"

The Retreat at Anna Maria Island Inn

8/10 Good

"My concern is safety. The beautifully decorated room was a slippery hazard from the beginning. The walk in shower needs a safety bar. The tile on the floor remained damp due to the humidity. The composite decking and rails were wet. I realize that much of that is beachfront location and out of human control. I'm an agile senior and felt that there was a risk."

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."
