What a great find! Fabulous little hotel. The room was pretty spacious and loved the Murphy bed, much more comfortable than a traditional pull out. The little touches like charging points and pullout beside tables were also appreciated.

A wonderful place to stay! Peaceful, spotless, and incredibly relaxing. The staff is amazing—friendly, attentive, and always willing to help. The rooms are beautiful, comfortable, and very well maintained. The best part is that the hotel is right in front of the beach, where you can enjoy complimentary beach chairs, umbrellas, and everything you need for a perfect day by the ocean. I highly recommend Silver Surf Gulf Beach Resort. 100%! 🌴☀️

Facilities/rooms were clean and the staff were helpful and kind. The location cannot be beat with easy access to the beach - having the towels, beach chairs, and beach umbrellas available makes this spot even more perfect. The ease of access to hop on the trolley right in front of the building was perfect. We had a great trip!

What a great find! The room was so comfortable and updated. It was so nice to have a pool onsite and their own beach across the road was perfect. Staff was accommodating and made our short stay one to remember. Highly recommend and we’ll be back.

Clean room, helpful, friendly staff, free beach chair and umbrella and beach towels, so that was less for us to pack. We have a kitchenette area with a larger fridge which was really nice as well.

What a fabulous place. If you are planning a trip to AMI then I highly recommend that you book this little gem asap.

Looks like a motel, but it is so much more than that ... The rooms have been thoughtfully furnished. King size bed is very comfy. The shower is powerful. The fridge is big !! The room was incredibly clean and the staff really seem to care.

The facilities are also amazing. Free coffee and breakfast in the mornings. You get 4 beach towels which you can renew every day. Ample free sunbeds and parasol on their private beach just across the road. A swimming pool if you dont fancy the beach.

In addition the free AMI trolley stops right outside the property taking you the length of the island which is a real bonus. we took the trolley up to Pine Ave and walked half a mile along the beach to Bean Point which was amazing.

Just a wonderful place !!!

The hotel was well worth the money to have free access to the beach including lounge chairs and umbrellas. They also provided free beach towels, but they were not full size ones. The staff was super friendly. The only very minor issue was if they are going to provide hard boiled eggs they should be peeled already as there’s no where to do that by the breakfast area.

Clean room, comfy bed, fridge, light breakfast, quiet at night. My favorite was the beach location right across street and they set up a beach umbrella and loungers for you. Beach towels also provided. I loved that beach wasn’t crazy busy. Pool looked nice & clean just didn’t get a chance to use.

We really enjoyed our stay at Silver Surf, the staff were very welcoming, friendly, and customer focused. We had a lovely room, with a sea view. The rooms were cleaned daily, and the building and surrounding area were maintained well.
The breakfast was grab and go, and there was a lovely selection every morning, outside seating was also available .
There was also a number of BBQ grills available, as a dining option.

We had such a wonderful stay at Silver Surf Gulf Beach Resort and would absolutely stay here again! The location is fantastic — right across from the beach and so close to Bridge Street, great restaurants, shops, and several beautiful beaches around the island.

One of our favorite parts was having access to their private beach area with complimentary beach towels, chairs and umbrellas. It made beach days so easy and relaxing. Our suite was clean, comfortable, and very convenient with a refrigerator, sink, and microwave, which helped a lot during our stay.

The staff truly stood out. Noah and Renee were incredibly friendly, welcoming, and accommodating, especially helping us with a late checkout. That level of kindness really made a difference.

The continental breakfast was simple but honestly perfect for what we needed before heading out for the day. It was nice not having to go out for every meal.

Highly recommend for anyone looking for a relaxed, friendly beach stay on Anna Maria Island!

Perfect location. Easy access to the beach and the bay, excellent for sunsets and sunrises. The free trolley stop was just outside, so very convenient. Close to Smoqehouse - excellent bbq sandwiches! The hotel provided beach chairs, loungers and umbrellas on the beach. The room was excellent and comfortable and had tons of storage. Really comfy bed and brilliant shower. Definitely you could see it had all been newly renovated with love and care about every detail. Lovely cheerful staff. We loved our stay and would definitely return.

So convenient to walk across the street to the beach and enjoy it and the sunsets. The chairs are so comfy and convenient too. We loved everything about our stay but he warm friendly staff was the best. Especially Noah. WE really appreciate the welcome we recevied and even parking under a \"carport\" was amazing. Breakfast was great too. We want to come back soon! I would recommend to all of our friends.

For some reason this hotel uses very noxious cleaning materials. There’s no other explanation.

The chlorine smell in the room made us ill and you can not even open a window to help.

We checked out a day early, the next morning and were refused a refund for at least the be second night.

Never ever would I recommend this hotel.

We stayed at the Silver Surf for 4 nights in early September and I have to admit it was my favorite beach trip ever. You're right across the street from the private beach which wasn't crowded, not even on Labor Day weekend. It was so nice to be 100 yards from the room where all your things are at and even better is that the stay includes beach chairs and umbrellas set up for you on the beach. Our room was very clean and the staff was unbelievably good. Noah was especially good to us but all the staff was unbelievable. We left something in the room by accident and housekeeping found it and they called us before we were 15 minutes away, just great folks everywhere we looked. While there were plenty of restaurants in the area there are still some buildings that haven't recovered from last years Hurricane but they are working hard on it and be sure that the Silver Surf has fully recovered. We will be back next year.

I want to highlight the excellent services provided, especially by Noah, who was fantastic. However, I did have a less-than-ideal experience with the staff member managing the umbrellas. She seemed a bit aggressive regarding the tiki area and asked us about our room checkout in a manner that felt rude, almost as if she thought we were taking advantage of our stay. It would be helpful if the communication could be more friendly and understanding in the future.

Pros:
- Lovely pool & bar area
- Big rooms and kitchenette in the suites
- Access to the resort's other properties (particularly Three Waters which is the best place to hang out)
- Free Rum Runner water taxi was brilliant and we also did a boat trip on it. The crew (Jen and Kristin were fab).

Cons
- Noisy / broken air con in the room which made it hard to sleep.
- No crockery or cutlery in the kitchenette so completely unusable.

Love Silver Surf~AMI~

Just about everything you need for a fun stay.

Very clean, modern, perfectly located, beach across the street with cabanas, chairs & umbrellas, option of beach massage, catamaran & jet ski rentals, outdoor pool is big and lots of loungers & tables plus a bathroom, grills, bicycles to rent, walk to restaurants, bay behind the hotel, room had good working A/C, king bed was comfortable, kitchenette has everything needed, large shower, lots of drawers & closet space. Plenty of parking spots for your car or golf cart. Staff were friendly & accommodating. Continental breakfast was average. Reasonably priced for April school vacation week- thank you!

A few recommendations:
1. A shelving unit with a bench in the bathroom under the hooks for storage & a place to put your clothes would be helpful.
2. Murphy bed was very uncomfortable. Could use a replacement or mattress topper.
3. Half wall in shower allowed for the floor to get soaked. Maybe add a curtain to prevent this.

Will stay here again and highly recommended this wonderful hotel.

Wonderful family stay

We stayed for 6n in two rooms that were interconnecting. 2A 2C

On arrival the resort is bright and clean, with plenty of parking.

The rooms are of a good size and have plenty of storage. They are modern and clean. I’m plenty of towels and pool towels provided. The free breakfast is basic but a bonus.

The beach is over a small rd where the traffic stops for you to cross. Wow it’s beautiful. The added bonus of sunloungers and parasols for guests is a huge plus point. A watersports company are there for jet ski hire and paddle boards etc they give a discount for silver surf guests.
Watching the sunsets is a nightly ritual and each night it was different.

There is a trolley bus stop outside the reception area which is perfect just scan the QR code to find out the next bus times. We toured the island on the trolley to familiarise ourselves.

If you thought the sea was like a bath the resort pool was just as warm. Plenty of loungers and tables always clean.

All the staff are so friendly and welcoming.

There are two communal grills and bikes to hire.

You are walking distance to the Bridge st area and several bars and restaurants. Publix can be accessed by the trolley or car but not walking distance. There is a circle K within walking distance for any necessities.

We hired a golf cart for a fun way to get around.

We felt the price point was very reasonable.

The island still has some construction and demolition but nothing that would impact your stay.

All of the staff is extremely friendly. The beds are REALLY comfy! The free breakfast was nice…the only protein is the boiled eggs, but it was always enough food for us to feel satisfied. The only recommendation I have is that they mop the room floors during the daily cleaning. They just vacuum it, so it feels pretty grimy if you walk barefoot in the hotel room. We would stay there again.
