The room was nice and clean! The location is great for being close to the beach and places to eat! The walls were thin and even though the neighbors weren't loud, it sounded like they were in our room. We were under the impression we had a pool outside of our rooms but we did not.

The room was clean, spacious, remodeled, good air conditioner and a ceiling fan. Spacious and remodeled bathroom. Room service was amazing. They changed beach and regular towels ever day. One minute walk to the beach. The experience at Anna María Island was unique. We will definitely come back soon.

My only complaint is there wasn’t a pool and there wasn’t a microwave, oven, toaster oven, or air fryer to heat food, just a stove.

Everything was neat, clean, and well-maintained. The staff was helpful and friendly. The problem is that we did not receive the room and amenities that were advertised on the website. While the pictures showed a kitchenette, our room only had a small refrigerator and nothing else. The ad showed the room being one block from the beach, but our room was further. Finally, the ad showed a pool, but our room was a part of their “new” addition and did not have a pool. We were allowed access to the pool in the advertisement, but it was several blocks away, too hot to walk in the 98 degree Florida heat and too much of a hassle to drive there with the traffic, find a parking spot, and then drive back to our room in wet swim suits. This was not ideal at all.

The room was not easy to control the ac or the tv. We had to call maintenance for a new tv remote, but it was hard to negotiate even when it worked. The control for the ac was hidden behind the curtains, and even the maintenance man didn't use the proper controls. The second night we stayed, the
Room next door had their tv on loud enough for us to hear until almost 5:00 am, making it most difficult to sleep, and they did not lower it when I knocked on the adjoining door at 4:30. There were no lights, except the overhead ones... the ones on either side of the bed were taken out. The rug under the bed had the edges turned up, so you had to be careful not to trip on it. The room had been repainted recently and had a nice bathroom with a big shower and double sinks, but only one small towel bar and no shelf in the shower to put one's own soap and shampoo.

This property was amazing I love how close I was to the beach, room was very clean and comfortable, staff was very helpful with the check in process. I really appreciated that you can park your car right in front your door. I will definitely come back!

The only thing I didn’t like is that other visitors staying next door was being very loud late at night and wake me up from my sleep at 1 am, this is definitely something to consider if you are traveling with kids.

There was sand under the area rug that should've been swept up. We noticed it because the scalloped rug had rolled up edges and we had tripped over it. We rolled up the rug and eek substanial sand underneath. One of hand towels had a brown stain on it too. The pool and beach access were a 5 min walk. Make sure your room is closer than the pics online. We felt dubbed.
There were people outside arguing at midnight. Then there was noise all night that sounded like a child or pet. We love Anna Maria island but this wasn't a good experience.

I was very disappointed with our experience. My family and I were relaxing at the pool—the same pool we had spent the entire previous day using without any issues. A staff member named Nichol, who identified herself as the manager, approached us in a very rude and disrespectful manner and told us we had to leave immediately because we were supposed to use a different pool.

The confusing part is that when we checked in, Karol specifically told us we could use any pool that belongs to the same company. If there was a misunderstanding, it could have been handled politely and professionally. Instead, we were treated as if we had done something wrong, which was embarrassing, especially in front of others peoples.

To make matters worse, the room was dirty, and we even found cockroaches inside. Between the poor cleanliness and the unprofessional customer service, this was a very disappointing stay. I hope management addresses both the staff’s attitude and the cleanliness of the property so future guests don’t have the same experience.

Don't mean to complain, but for a $500 a night room, I expected superior amenities. The room was nice and clean, but the shower water pressure was not very good, and there was no hot water at 5:00 when I checked in, or 8:30 the next morning. Also, it wasn't the designation on Gulf Drive, it was a block behind away from the water.

The room was nicely decorated but the floors felt dirty, the curtains were also too long and they were dragging on the floor and collecting dust. The outside seating area was nicely decorated but there was no privacy, you were staring directly at 6 other rooms. The check in was terrible, that may have been an Expedia problem because I could not open the email they sent me. Check in was at a whole other property and we had a hard time finding where we were actually staying. When we called customer service there were long wait times. The front desk was helpful, but the check in area was small and crowded. There was no pool in the property we stayed in, however we had access to other pools except the one on the beach! It was extremely close to the beach, but we found the water on the north island was better. We asked for a late check out but were denied, we did get to check in a little early. All in all we had a good stay but the experience could have been better.

Our room was at The retreat room 403 and it was so beautiful and clean. The front desk staff was amazing and housekeeping was on top of everything. We had a little mishap with former guests leaving their personal toys in a dresser drawer. The staff immediately moved us to a different room. Our first room was a deluxee King with kitchenette and second room was a Deluxe suite with King Bed and separate space with queen sleeper sofa. We were right by the pool and straight across street was the beach! We definitely recommend Anna Maria Island Inn!!!

Be sure to get photos of your room before reserving. The pics online look nice, but not all rooms look like that.

My room had no mini fridge, which was a problem when you're staying at a beach area and want drinks and food to be cold.

It had an EXTREMELY small bathroom with zero counter space. I had to put my things on top of the toilet. Very awkward getting into the shower with the tiny bathroom.

There was one small dresser in the room and the coffee maker took up half of the surface leaving me with nowhere to put anything. There was no closet to hang clothes. Fortunetly, I was solo. I can't imagine staying in this room with even just one other person.

There was no way to turn off the really bright light outside the door that shone through the glass all night while you were trying to sleep.

The view was of a back alley and really awful. Definitley would never stay here again. They ended up giving me a small refund.

We were “upgraded” to Anna Maria Beach Resort due to a plumbing issue, which we initially appreciated. However, the room was not as clean as expected. We were tired after traveling and chose not to bring it up at the time.

Around 4:00 AM, we were abruptly woken by a very loud noise coming from within the walls. It sounded like a plumbing or water-related issue, and we also noticed the faucet wasn’t working properly. The noise continued for nearly three hours before finally stopping.

Unfortunately, between the noise and my dog barking, none of us were able to get any rest. While the location is great, this experience made for a very frustrating stay.

not worth what they are charging. Don’t call yourself a “resort” if you don’t have room service or any dining options. At most, I would pay $300 a night
