Corner room with a wraparound balcony overlooking the ocean -- hard to beat. This place really delivers on the experience. The room was spacious with a full setup (king bed, pull-out couch, kitchen, living area), and the bathroom was large and well maintained. Housekeeping was fast and the staff checked in often to make sure we had everything we needed. If you're looking for a relaxing stay with a great view, this is it. read more

Needed a quick getaway and found this beautiful remodeled resort. It is in a great location right on the beach. The grounds are maintained and the pool is clean and spacious. There is no restaurant or bar on site, but there are some close by with a 5 to 10 drive. The staff is friendly, attentive and helpful. We were able to head to the beach while we waited to get our room, since we were early. There are loungers and chairs at the beach and it is first come first serve. The same applies to the pool. All rooms have ocean view, but our room was the one closest to the street, so we didnt get the same view as the ones up front. They have 2nd floor and a ground level rooms. The rooms are remodeled with an ocean theme, making it welcoming and getting that vacation feel. I did nit give it a 5 star due to the ac and all the humidity that you can feel at night. Not sure if it was our ac or just being too close to the beach that it was super stuffy, smelled a bit like mildew and it was uncomfortable to sleep. It is pricey, specially during the holidays but a nice hotel with an awesome beach read more

My favorite hotel ever******* I had never been to Anna Maria Island and after this vacation I promised myself to return at least once a year. And when I do, I'll be staying at this resort. Our room was a one bedroom apartment. It looked brand new and super stylish. We had plenty of room. A full kitchen, living room, vanity area and a beautiful balcony overlooking the gorgeous beach. The beds were super comfortable and the room had everything we needed and more. There's no bar or restaurant at the resort but there's plenty of establishments within walking distance. The town of Anna Maria was very laid back and beautiful. We had the best time and can't wait to go back. read more

Anna Maria Beach Resort - Beautiful beach - Resorts Near Me - Holmes Beach, Florida

This was our first time staying at Anna Maria island. We enjoyed staying at the AM beach resort. The room was very clean and was provided with plenty towels, toiletries, and even free glasses of water. The staff was great during our stay. The pool was great as well. They provide towels and chairs and umbrellas for the pool and beach. We had a wonderful experience and the beach was beautiful! Would definitely stay again and highly recommended! read more

A Perfect anniversary Stay Recently visited Anna Maria Island. Reservations at another property although due to a problem with the AC they were responsible and sent us to a sister property. Anna Maria Island Beach Resort. Women at front desk was aware of our situation and was accommodating and gracious. Showed my wife a few rooms. Unit was pool side, clean and beautiful. Actually much nicer then our previous property selection. Beautiful grounds directly on the beach. Our stay was awesome but the icing on the cake was the hospitality of the young women in office. The island was great as was the many food selections. We are already working another visit into our schedules. J.S. read more

No staff after 5pm. With local riff raff using the parking, pool and beach amenities. Not safe.

Room (202) was AMAZING. The view was INCREDIBLE. Pool was SUBLIME. Brie at the front desk was so sweet and helpful. Also we very much appreciated the bottle of champagne that she arranged for our anniversary. So thoughtful. However, when we called the morning of the day we were to check in with a family health emergency (our young daughter had a high fever and was throwing up) and asked if we could come next Saturday instead (we live just 45 mins away), I was told by Brie at the front desk that the manager would call us back. I waited over an hour, called again and was told the manager would not be in for another hour and would call then. More waiting. Brie finally called me back (not the manger) and told me she would transfer me to the reservation person, who could help me. When the reservation person answered she wanted to transfer me back to the front desk. I told her that I just spoke to the front desk and they said I needed speak to her. In spite of our family emergency, she curtly told me it would be a standard cancellation -- no refund or credit for the following Saturday, but she'd check with her manager (the manager I had been waiting two hours to hear back from). The manager didn't have the courtesy to speak to me directly, instead she texted the reservation person to say that we'd lose our $600+ if we cancelled. It was purely transactional for them. No empathy or understanding. No kindness. Not wanting to lose over $600 (a lot for us!), we reluctantly went anyway, leaving our sick child with a family member and worrying the whole time on a night that was supposed to be a break for us. As I mentioned above, the stay was wonderful -- 5 stars. But, when we sleep-deprived parents accidentally slept in til 9:45 a.m. (checkout is at 10) and called the front desk to ask for a late checkout, we were told "no" very matter of factly by a different woman (Not Brie). 10 am is an early checkout, especially when you're paying over $600 for one night. We had to call back again to beg for an extra half hour and she reluctantly agreed to it, but told us we would be charged an extra $100 if it was more than that. It's such a fantastic hotel, I'd love to come back again. But the lack of courtesy we were provided from the reservation person, management, and front-desk person (not Brie, who was wonderful) was extremely disappointing. read more

You will never be disappointed! Perfect place and location. Pictures online don't do it justice. Even better in person. Right on the , Facing west so awesome sunsets. Restaurants close by. Most importantly neat, clean and great amenities. Staff was really friendly. It was not over crowded Great place to recharge and connect with family. We will be back. read more

Anna Maria Beach Resort - View from our room - Resorts Near Me - Holmes Beach, Florida

Horrible. Horrible on every level. My family booked a last minute trip to The Anna Maria Beach Resort. After hearing that Red Tide was present in certain parts of Florida, I went overboard to inquire about the status around Anna Maria Island before booking. I very clearly explained my kids severe allergies and respiratory illness and explained that they can't be exposed to toxic air. I also explained at length that we were a quiet family that simply wanted to sit at the beach. Upon arrival at 9:30pm and after a long day of travel, we walked into the lobby and checked in. As I was being given the key to the room, we all began to go into coughing fits. The lady at the front desk said "your coughing is because of the Red Tide ...we are in the middle of an extreme break out." I said "what red tide? I specifically asked Stephanie upon booking if red tide was present and was told absolutely not." I went on to explain my kids respiratory illness and said that we cannot be somewhere with toxic air due to a medical condition. Angel at the front desk told me that she doesn't know why I was told that Red Tide wasn't at this location because it has been there for a long time. She went on to explain that you can't even go in the water or you will get blisters and she doesn't even go anywhere near the beach. I told her that I needed to head to a different part of Florida for the safety of my children. She told me that a manager would call me when she arrived the next morning. Nobody called. I drove to the east side of Florida first thing the next morning and found the only hotel room available and tried to make the most of a pool vacation for a family that desperately wanted a beach. After three days, I finally got a call back from the manager, Mika, who offered no apology for the ineptitude of her employees, the fact that she ruined our vacation, or the danger that she put my entire family in. To make matters even more shocking, she actually told me that she is entitled to keeping my five thousand dollars because there are no refunds. Right. You want to keep my money because your employees were either clueless or just outright dishonest? Thankful for the protection from American Express who won't stand for their customers being abused by dishonest businesses. Don't even get me started on how disgusting and filthy the room was that they wanted me to stay in. Also be aware that they have one updated room on the website but "don't guarantee what room you get upon arrival" per Mika. Please know that your room won't be anything like the one on the website. This was secondary to us as we couldn't stay due to the dangerous red tide but just to alert others.... Do your research. Red Tide is very dangerous not to mention very uncomfortable for healthy people never mind those with allergies, asthma or other health issues. There are signs everywhere advising no swimming etc. The beaches are simply covered with dead fish everywhere and a horrible stench. Stay away from the west side of Florida and this horrific motel (sorry...can't even call this a resort.) read more

We had a perfect weekend at Anna Maria Beach resort. Staff friendly. Pool and rooms are amazing!

We will not be back. 3 years ago this place was 1/3 maybe what we paid this time, only because it was so nice the first time. We had guests coming, paid to upgrade to the suite, they got us moved and promised us one additional parking pass. Went to the office to get the pass only to be told they couldn't give us one because they were all spoken for. Finally after many trips and trying to find public parking (there was zero) we returned and finally had to tell them we are parking right in front, and if our vehicle is towed it's going to be their problem as well as ours. This put a damper on things but finally got it worked out and got a pass. Next, our air in the room quit and we were all trying to sleep in 80* ...... no one at the desk and no one returned a call after reaching out to the after hours number. I'm still here and it's pretty hot..... Staff is mostly very helpful but the management/managers don't really care. Overpriced and they'll not see us again. Really a shame because the views are nice, as was the pool and beach. read more

The beach access was the draw for us to this location. We checked in on a Saturday and out on Thursday. The photos posted on Yelp by others are exactly what it is. It has been renovated over the past few years and has some nice upgrades as in stainless steel appliances if your room type is big enough to have a full kitchen. We had a standard room with two queens and a small stainless fridge ample for our needs for a 5 night stay. The facility is clean and in my opinion I would not advertise it as newly renovated as it does show some wear. renovated ok but not "new". Still has the classic AMI feel and the pool is nice all rooms have some type of view. Pool or Gulf We would have booked again for next year however we paid 1500 and the same week next year is almost 3000. We will watch the rates and will book again if they remain the same or have a reasonable increase. There is no onsite restaurant or bar and we actually are not looking for those type of amenities. The beach chairs are free WiFi is included and we go to get some RNR and time on the Beach. The staff was kind we had one experience that tainted the trip on the last day. We asked if a late checkout was possible and requested it a day in advance. The front desk wrote a note in front of us that was to be passed on regarding the late checkout. It was not apparent communicated to anyone. We were asking for 2 extra hours which we were told was possible. When we were at the pool we received a phone call that we needed to "check out immediately" when we explained that we had been granted a late checkout and asked if that was possible. It was a hard No leave now. All in all we had a great time but felt kicked out and rushed unexpectedly. Don't count on a late checkout. read more

My sister's family stayed here as we didn't have enough space in our rental home. We realized that we'd stay in this place with our parents back when it was the Blue Water back in the late 1990s. That was ok but even then in need of upgrades. Wow this place has been completely overhauled. All the rooms are like new, the decor is lovely, great pool and decks with views over the Gulf. Lovely place, nice staff. read more

This is the best hotel I've ever stayed at. Everything is brand new, clean, modern, and beautiful. The pool deck is a perfect oasis with plenty of furniture and couches and lawn games. The private beach is stunning and chairs and umbrellas are provided. The rooms are cozy with the comfiest beds I've ever laid in and high end finishings in the bathroom and kitchenette. The staff is extremely friendly. This place leaves nothing to be desired. read more

What a gem of a resort! We can't wait to go back. Very enjoyable. Except for the Haines City guests that had to be evicted because of breaking the noise ordinances! Once they left we enjoyed a peaceful vacation. And no dear, not everyone wants to hear your music selections. Some people enjoy quiet getaways and family time. If you want to drink and carry on with your loud conversations go to the beach or out to the bar. Quiet hours were at 10 pm and you didn't care. That's why numerous guests complained about you, not just one guy that you confronted by the pool. Please remember in the future that other people are spending their money too to enjoy a nice vacation and most likely they are following the rules of their stay which were provided to you when making a reservation and when checking in. read more

What a wonderful hotel!! The staff works so hard to make sure your stay is everything that they say and so much more. Close to local sites, complimentary breakfast, clean rooms, fresh sheets, great beds, good A/C and so much more. They are actively in the middle of renovating rooms. It is full speed ahead with this group and they want to make sure you are happy and satisfied. A+++++++... read more

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! read more

We just spent a couple days this past week at the resort. The resort absolutely met our expectations and we were very happy with our stay. The resort was newly renovated, very clean, well-maintained and the pool was definitely the highlight for our family. If we ever came back to Anna Maria Island we would definitely look into staying here again. read more

Beautiful resort to relax and enjoy Florida's beaches. Nicely renovated with a great pool. We had a suite with full kitchen, nicely equipped. Staff was so friendly and helpful. Thank you all for a great weekend! Super location. read more

They will find reasons to charge your credit card on file after you leave the rental. They want to pot a breeze trough your pockets.

Room needed updating Staff were very nice. My recommendation, however, is to not book in the building located directly across from the island inn bar & grill. The band does usually stop playing at 10pm BUT the monkey bus picks up patrons in the driveway between this building and the bar until at least midnight. Ppl are loud and leave their drinks all over the ground and next to your car in your assigned parking spot. read more

We recently stayed at Anna Maria beach Resort. The grounds are absolutely beautiful with the focus being a large pool overlooking the Gulf. We were just steps away from the beach. Every room has a beautiful place. It is a calm, relaxing place. read more

This is an outstanding resort, located on the beach. Only 31 brand new rooms on 2 floors with beautiful views of gulf means it was quiet and only steps to beach. Very lovely swimming pool/patio/hot tub area. Awesome hotel staff, always anxious to make sure we were being taken care of. Right on the trolley route made our 5 day stay perfect to explore the island without having to use car. read more

I booked our vacation many months ago. We purchased vacation insurance. Then the COVID19 global pandemic hit and a national health emergency was declared. I called in and spoke to a woman who said the owners are super nice and "I'm sure they'll work with you". I called in again after not hearing anything and the next handful of people I spoke with were incredibly rude and had pure disregard to what vacationers are up against. The resort can recoup lost income through the FEMA money but we tourists do not have that luxury. The vacation insurance does not cover COVID19 (obviously... it's new to the world) but the management company is not waving rescheduling fees or the fees we would incur even if we can find a re-renter if our room. The beaches are closing, restaurants are closing, grocery stores are empty and the locals have made it quite clear on the Anna Maria Life Facebook page that they do not want tourists coming at this time. The rental company does not care. Other companies are working with renters and waving the fees considering the increasing fears and unknowns of this virus. My son falls into a risky category yet they do not care AT ALL. So much for the owner of the resort being "super nice". If they were they would express to the company they have chosen to work with those of us in this situation. Now not only will I not rent from this resort but I will not ever spend a dime on AMI. read more

We stayed at the AM Beach Resort on a last minute trip to Florida on the week of Christmas. It was a great experience. The staff -Miecha, Kelsey and Kelly were fantastic and extremely helpful in making this a wonderful get-away experience. The hotel is new, bright and very well maintained. The rooms and grounds were meticulously clean. All brand new appliances. Right on the water. Complimentary well maintained beach lounge chairs readily available. Just a step away from the complimentary island trolley. Will definitely recommend and return. read more

To everyone that saw my post 2 weeks ago about Anna Maria Beach Resort I retract everything I said. We paid for a 2 night stay, for 2 room- over $1600 this weekend, $600+ 2 weekends ago. One upset guest has ruined it for everyone. While at the pool today, we were playing old school music that everyone loves- from ice ice baby to sweet Caroline. Everyone at the pool was loving it, singing along and tapping there feet to it. One miserable guest decided to complain. Front desk came to us and said can you turn it down? Yes, of course, we'll turn it down(she said she doesn't care if we have it on, just turn down) fine. Apparently the same guest decided he still didn't like that and made another complaint to front desk. Front desk comes out, we turn it off because what's the point of a fight. This same guest is making comments as I am walking by to our room and I asked him what goes he want to hear because we'll be glad to play it for him. His response was nothing but rude, he doesn't care, it's none of my business... ok fine again. Fast forward to a hour later, cops show up, ask us what happen, we tell him, he says this isn't anything a cop needs to be called on. Ok great we'll we're going to go get showers, go to dinner, etc. The owner of this hotel decided they want to kick us off the property with NO REFUND, again over $1600. Needless to say, we're leaving, not spending our last night here and will never return not tell anyone about how horrible their business ethics are. read more
