Anna Maria Island Beach Resort

"This is the worst false advertisement I've ever experienced. We picked this place out of a bunch of other hotels bc of all the beautiful photos online. It's nothing like the pictures. It's a basic hotel room with no decor, nothing not even a pillow on the couch and tiny. Nothing like the photos online with a full kitchen and beautiful decor everywhere. It's a small room that is cold, not even an area rug. We picked a pool front room, we are in front of a highway. There are no beautiful lounge chairs with umbrellas on the beach either. We called to ask what the heck and the manager is off duty today and the lady at the desk cannot do anything about it. We payed 600 for a 2 night stay and the woman at the desk doesn't even know if she can refund us for tomorrow because the manager is off work today the woman said and no one is covering him. We will never be back. Save your money and go elsewhere because this is a scam. What a shame we feel so taken advantage of."

"Anna Maria Beach resort is such a beautiful place to stay on the island, you truly feel like you’re vacationing at a five star resort! The rooms are so nice and spacious, with a large kitchenette! Beautiful large pool with tons of amenities like large checkers/ chess, corn hole, hot tub, fire pit, and direct beach access with lounge chairs! Spent Easter weekend here with the family and our 4 month old baby and we loved it! Staff were amazing, always asking if we needed anything! We will definitely be returning to Anna Maria Beach Resort!"

"We stayed in room 3 for two nights, our reservation was for 4 nights but given the conditions of the room coupled with poor weather we decided to leave early. If the weather had been nice we may have roughed the additional two days. The dishes in the cabinets were not clean and many had food particles stuck to them. The wall above the shower is falling apart, towel bars are falling off the wall. TV remote control doesn’t work. It’s difficult to reach anyone in the office. The people above us were intolerably loud with screaming kids and slamming doors. The proximity to the beach is nice but it’s so close to the public beach that it’s very crowded. I would not stay here again. At almost $200 per night we definitely expected the room to be nicer."

"Good place to stay, right by the beach. Accommodations were comfortable and it felt more like an apartment than a motel. A couple things that could be improved upon would be not using a leaf blower at 8 in the morning, in case some guests want to sleep in; and having extra trash bags in the room for guests staying longer than a couple days. But overall, a great experience at a good price. Centrally located, so it's close to everything on AMI."

"I am writing this review in response to a woman who complained about a bird drinking from the pool. Several exotic (to me) birds descended into the shady and private pool area, standing beside the pool while I was relaxing by the pool. I found this to be charming. In fact, my husband and I felt like our stay at the Anna Maria Island Beach Resort was a precious piece of paradise that we often talk about and remember our stay there (April 2016) with the fondest of memories. Very comfortable beds. Private patio areas. A sandy path beckons guests to follow it to the beach, a very short distance away. Richard took my reservations and answered all my questions before I booked. He was very helpful. He was around if we needed him but didn't hover. We arrived earlier than expected, and Richard permitted us to check in early. He was very gracious. We loved it there and earnestly hope to go back some day."
