### Tortuga Inn Beach Resort

6/10 Okay

"My stay here was for 2 days. The location of the hotel is good. It’s just opposite the beach and have lot of restaurants and shopping within 2 mins of walking. The guests are provided with beach chairs and they need to carry the chairs / umbrella to and fro from the room to the beach. Unlike the adjacent hotel which provides beach chairs already setup on the beach. The pool is clean and heated. The rooms are clean and spacious. Only downside is they have no room service so the room cleaning is not done during the entire stay. If a guest wants their room cleaned they have to pay separately and reserve a spot a day before. This is something new which I have not come across anywhere and it’s not mentioned while booking / reserving the hotel for the stay. The laundry is complimentary. although old but does the work. "

### Seabreeze at Anna Maria Island Inn

2/10 Terrible

"No ammenities. The pool is the size of a hot tub. They messed up my reservation and had me in a city view room when i booked a luxury beachfront room. They did fix it but i was unhappy that I was not on the ground floor as promised and we had to share a deck with the guests next door. This was so uncomfortable because we had the next doir guests walking by our room windows, therefore we had to keep the curtains closed when we were relaxing in our room. This was surpose to be a romantic weekend getaway and I was so uncomfortable. We couldnt even sit on our deck because the guests sharing our deck were outside with their kids. There was no complimentary water in the room. There was sand all over the floor. There was no room service, no complimentary bikes or beach chairs and umbrellas."

"Our family group (5 adults, 2 teens, and 1 child) had an amazing stay. The home was spotless, everything is new, we had lots of towels, beach towels, and linens to go around. The beach is just a short walk across the bridge, which was super convenient on a busy spring break week! The garage is a great perk and so is the elevator, which really came in handy as one of our party had an injured hip. Checking in was a breeze and there are no complicated check out instructions, a huge plus! We would happily stay again. Thanks so much!"
