Top Blue Water Explorers Hotel Reviews

Pelican Post at Anna Maria Island Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Location was perfect"

Bridgewalk Resort

8/10 Good

"If you want to be in the center of the action in the sleepy town of Bradenton Beach, you are in the right place. Restaurants, bars, music, fishing, and the beach are all a short walk away. The rooms are nice, however, mine did not have a bedside lamp, bedside table or plug for my rechargers. I was surprised the room didn’t have these basics because they were just redone after the hurricane. Be sure to check in before the office closes at 5 or let them know you will arrive after that. the rooms are clean and in great condition."

Tropic Isle at Anna Maria Island Inn

10/10 Excellent

"We had a wonderful stay and were pleasantly surprised by how great the overall experience was! The location was perfect, the amenities were excellent, and everything was spotless. But what truly made our stay special was the outstanding service from the staff. A special shoutout to Danelis at the front desk, who was incredibly kind, welcoming, and thoughtful. We were celebrating a birthday, and she went out of her way to leave a little surprise in our room. That personal touch truly made a difference and made us feel extra special. It’s that kind of genuine hospitality that sets a hotel apart. We’ll definitely be back and would highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a great stay and exceptional service!"

Anna Maria Island Beach Palms 8B

8/10 Good

"The space was bigger than expected which was a nice surprise. There is a musty smell in the unit. The deck has some rotting boards and the steps seemed to be really warn and soft. The unit was nice and clean with everything you may need for a vacation in the beach. I would suggest some softer comforters in the beds as the ones provided were stiff and itchy. Thanks"
