Would highly recommend
Pros:

Such a beautiful location, great vibe and excellent service. Clean and comfotable. Great beda!

Cons:

Not the hotels fault but dont be fooled by the tiki bar next door. Its not part of the hotel even though you can acess from the pool. Bar snacks and drinks there were greqt but food was not up to par so give it a miss and eat at the hotel itself which was brilliant.

Pros:

The room was comfortable and clean. And the pool area was great with the exception of the nasty black bugs flying around.

Cons:

The black bugs flying around during the day! It got very uncomfortable out by the pool, and was gross seeing all of them at the entrance to the hotel.

Tolles Hotel mit super Ausblick und Lage
Pros:

Der Blick über die Marina mit dem Zimmer zur Hafenseite war spektakulär und man hat extrem gerne einfach auch mal auf dem Balkon gesessen und die Aussicht genossen. Das Frühstück war einfach aber bildete immer eine gute Grundlage um in den Tag zu starten. Die Zimmer waren sehr sauber, geräumig, modern und das Personal super nett! Die Lage kurz vor Anna Maria Island nur durch eine Brücke vom Manatee Beach entfernt hat uns ebenfalls super zugesagt. Auch der Pool war sauber und sogar beheizt. Wir kommen gerne wieder!

Great location and good rooms!
Pros:

Breakfast was included and it was a really good breakfast! Much better than other hotel breakfasts I've seen in the past. Rooms are big and clean. Good value for the money that we paid. Location is also great, only 10-15 minutes from the beach.
