After the game we were served with pizza and drinks. Liam, Brandon and Jacob did a great job to make sure the kids are well instructed and are having fun.

We had all the waivers signed ahead time so the check-in process went very quick and flawless. The…read moreemployees were friendly one guy is a little high strung, but I guess that's good for the kids and getting them pumped up. The waiting area leaves a lot to be desired as does the party area. That being said the laser tag area was very cool with lots of places to hide and reset your gun. There is also a parent watch area you can stand in inside the laser area which is also cool. We'll be back. I'd love to see your his place improve over time.

The manager came over several times to check in. The kids loved the food, especially the funnel cake fries. The bowling pin for all his friends to sign was a great added touch. I honestly wasn't sure what to expect with a bowling birthday party, but it went so perfectly. All our guests also said it played out really well. The price was great with what you got too (2 hours of bowling, tons of food for kids, the arcade).

Fun time! Easy parking, lots of lanes and a good bar with decent food. We all had a blast!read more

This was hands down the best mini golf courses we have played at! The staff there are great -…read moreprofessional and nice. The course is very well kept and the holes are challenging enough to make it easy and fun for everyone. This course also has baby gators and you can purchase little food pellets to feed them between holes 1 and 2 - they have these wooden rods that have a string and a clip at the end where you can place the food pellet and feed them directly. At the end of 18 holes you get to role a dice and if you got a hole in one with the matched number on the dice you get a free game. We loved this mini golf course! If you're a mini golf family like us, definitely check this place out!

This is a very detailed mini golf course. I thought it was going to be $30 for three of us to…read moreplay, nope....I think it was $74 something? That was wild to pay that much, but it is right off the beach so I suppose I understand? We did also got two bags of food to feed the baby rescue gators at the first hole while waiting for the other golfers to get their games going. A little expensive for me....

After dinner at Daiquiri Deck, my husband and I walked over to The Fish Hole for a little putt…read moreputt, and it ended up being such a fun way to end the night! The ambiance is super cute with the string lights, tropical landscaping, and a relaxed island vibe that makes it enjoyable, especially in the evening. Everything felt clean and well taken care of, which I always appreciate. The course itself is simple but fun, with just enough challenge to keep things interesting without being frustrating. It's a smaller, more compact course, but that actually makes it perfect for a casual game whether you're on a date night or with family. Service was friendly and smooth, and the whole experience felt easygoing from start to finish. The drop-head ball game at the end was such a fun little bonus and a great way to wrap everything up. As a mom, I'd definitely bring my kids here it's safe, well-maintained, and fun for all ages. Overall, a cute, laid-back spot that's perfect for a quick and memorable activity in Anna Maria. We're taking the kids tonight!

I do think it's a little pricey but we don't go often so not to bad. there are probably coupons out there. so look. they have snacks and drinks etc. bathroom is a little rough. when we went there was no running water. it's basically a porta potty. seems like that could be better. you can feed the turtles and the fish cheap.

This is not a real concert venue…read more I came here to see John lodge which was a sold out show. They set up temporary folding chairs. The sections were haphazardly labeled. There was a food and drink vendor inside with mixed results. Good shrimp tacos and mediocre crap cakes. The prices were surprisingly reasonable. Parking was scattered and limited. Weird and extended mc announcements. Then they start the video for the start of the show and suddenly stop. Lights stay off and then come on. Show finally starts. Intermission lights come on late and then go off. Intermission was in the dark. Only worth coming here for someone you really love.

Growing up in the island, The Center in all of its iterations was a space island kids could come for a lot of fun and community sports. As an adult, I love the fitness center at an affordable price. The only reason it's not 5 stars is due to the fitness center hours. Maybe someday we'll have separate access so we can work out after 8pm and on Sundays.

The neat thing about the golf courses is you can order beverages through an app at each hole and they bring it out to you.

The far back is perfect for those with little kids. There's a play ground. Or, go with the first spot which is near table tennis. Service is excellent. Bar tenders greeted us within a few minutes of sitting down. Plenty of follow up once food came. Food is decent too. We ordered the chicken wrap, mahi tacos, and chicken sandwich. Everyone enjoyed their food. There are two 18 hole courses, black (easier) or red.

If I could give 0 stars I would. Avoid!! My husband and I booked this place for our honeymoon. The…read moreview is about the only thing that's good and why they charge so much. We got a king beach view room. Room needed to be updated BAD. They had set up a nice plate of cookies and chocolates for our honeymoon but the writing said happy anniversary. Not a huge deal we were happy they at least did something, champagne they gave us was nice. The room had a closet with a giant air conditioning unit inside of it that was constantly turning on and off and that's all you can hear. It was close enough to the bed that I wasn't gonna be able to sleep because of how loud it was. One of the lamps in the room didnt work, including an outlet. I understand things happen or fail, but when you're paying this amount of money to stay in a hotel like this, I expected better. What was the worst was when we went down to the pool. It was extremely crowded and there were TONS of kids. That being said nobody was controlling their kids at all. A group of children were kicking around a soccer ball aggressively and almost hit me and my husband multiple times. The kids were jumping up on the pool loungers and over the small tables in between that had full drinks on them. The staff watched and did not do a damn thing, some of the parents joined in and were kicking the ball as well thinking it was funny. It was an extreme liability not only for other people, but children running around a busy, wet pool deck is not something that should be happening. Other people were being blocked in and unable to walk to the beach access because these children were kicking this ball around and it was hitting multiple people. Everybody looked extremely irritated. The parents did not try to stop the kids from doing so and ended up hitting a woman in the head with the ball. After that, we tried to make it a place that we want to stay, but we ended up going to the front desk explaining how we felt and decided it was best we pack our stuff up and leave. We spent a total of maybe 3 hours at the resort. We found another resort down the road that was able to take us in such short notice. We still lost part of our deposit which sucked, even what they took wasnt worth the time we spent there. We understand that other people are staying there and we don't usually mind children if they're respectful and not acting like animals. But what was most aggravating was that the staff did nothing and also the parents. It put a huge dent into our evening. Will never go back.
