Love the place, the rooms are great.
Pros:

I loved having beach access with chairs and umbrellas. Also a great location close by to all restaurants and shops.

Cons:

The pool was heated to about 100 degrees. In the middle of May when it is extremely hot out. It was unsafe to swim in for my son and extremely uncomfortable for us. Everyone at the pool was complaining about how hot it was.
There was also a good amount of garbage on the beach, which is horrible for guests to leave behind. I just wish the staff picked it up so the rest of us didn’t haven’t to deal with the old coconuts and pineapples left at the chairs by people with no respect for the ocean or sea life.

Disappointed
Pros:

Friendly staff, comfy room

Cons:

Breakfast was reasonable and was not offered as a courtesy, despite the charge of $700 night with resort fee included. Pictures are very wise and make us believe it is a real resort, but it is not! Just a U shape hotel with a swimming pool squeezed in the center. Hotel is under renovation and don't expect to be warned because I wasn't. Noise, disruption, dust and all else you can imagine. A LED light in our $700 night suite wouldn't turn off. Anna Maria Island is beautiful as St Pete, Clearwater, Bradenton and Napples - there is nothing reaaally special about it.

For the price we paid. I expected a little bit better service than what we received. The location was nice, but that was
Pros:

Location was perfect

Cons:

It was under construction. The area where we had to enter, the beach was being utilized by the workers who are dumping all their tile water, and there was safety hazards that were not taken care of. Such as concrete having to be stepped over and exposed rebar. The cleaning of the room was poor. Our whole stay they never changed our sheets and when they did come in to give us new towels, the floors were never swept up or cleaned.

Bed bug beware
Pros:

Checked into a 2 bedroom pool view suite and found bedbugs in the king room (live bugs, plentiful). Hotel front desk personnel came to inspect and verified so we moved our things out of room and searched for alternate hotel or rental but unfortunately it was spring break week and there were zero openings anywhere on the island. After some time they moved us to a different room but it was less than ideal as we kept our clothes we had worn in the first room in a trash bag all week, and never unpacked our suitcases into drawers as we were not convinced the 2nd room didn’t also have bugs.

Most disappointing was a manager never even called us. The only thing we were offered was from the front desk and it was a $200 refund for the “resort fee” from Day 1. We paid $7500 for 4 nights, I would expect at that cost to be compensated much more significantly and the hotel to treat bed bugs much more seriously. We will now have to deal with this when we get home to be sure no risk of transfer to our home.

The location was great and beaches beautiful. The staff at the front desk and pool lounge were very friendly.

We liked the location, just steps from the beach. Upon checking there was trash piled by our door. We did enjoy our welc
Pros:

You are steps from the beach.

Cons:

We got the smallest darkest room with a parking lot view. For $1200 a night I was expecting something exceptional.

Do your homework!
Pros:

There is quite a bit of misleading and inconsistent information across Google, Expedia, and TripAdvisor for this property. It would really benefit from a full reconciliation by the owner, as it is not a true “resort” and several advertised amenities are either inaccurate or unavailable. Unfortunately, the price point does not align with the overall experience.

If you’re expecting convenience, note that the coffee shop doesn’t open until 8:00 AM and closes at 7:00 PM.

**Pros:**
Customer service was excellent, and the location is a major highlight—you’re just steps from the beach. Free parking is a plus, and the room was clean upon arrival. I also appreciated their effort to be more eco-conscious by using glass instead of plastic in the rooms. Complimentary arrival drinks were a nice touch, and the free rental bikes were a great perk.

**Cons:**
There are no beach cabanas (only three by the pool, not beachfront), no champagne service, and room service is very delayed (not available until after 3 PM). The charcoal grill area shown on the arrival map does not exist. There was no working ice machine and no ice provided in the room freezer. There is also no true poolside bar—just a small indoor convenience/bar area. Additionally, there is no continental breakfast, and it’s unclear whether the pool is actually heated.

Overall, while the location and staff are strong, the lack of amenities and inconsistencies make it difficult to justify the cost.

Beautiful hotel in fabulous location but not worth the price due to poor rooms and unhelpful staff
Pros:

Beautiful property directly on a stunning beach. Beautiful location. Lovely warm swimming pool with really comfortable loungers. Beach loungers were not comfortable. What we weren't told is there is extensive building work going on so in the Monday it was very noisy with a lot of mess and builders working

Cons:

Our room was awful it only had one small window up high which couldn't open. Just surrounded by brick walls. When we checked in I specifically asked if there were windows and the receptionist said yes we were on the first floor which had a balcony. We were in the ground floor with no balcony. There was an enormous tv on the wall in the bedroom but no mirrors. The shower was good but it was in a bath and the water didn't drain. Luckily we only booked one night and we did not choose to extend

Beautiful but Not Flexible
Pros:

It’s a beautiful resort and is right on the beach. However, their lack of flexibility is a concern. Our flight ended up getting canceled due to weather up north. Unfortunately, the Bali Hai resort was not flexible at all. They wanted to charge us MORE than we were already paying per night in order to add an additional night, which we kindly declined. We then asked to check out 1 hour later so we could figure out where to go next and they would not accommodate that.

Disappointed on AMI
Pros:

We traveled to Anna Maria Island at the end of January 2026 for 3 nights. When we arrived we were disappointed that the property was under extensive construction. The whole building facing the ocean was gutted and under construction. The noise and sights of the construction was something we did not expect! No where on their website or in the emails from the property managers was there any indication that construction would be going on. It was hard to relax by the pool or on the beach. One day they must have been cutting tile or stone and silica dust was in the air across the pool area.
Some positives: the staff was very friendly and the room we had was clean. They offered 2 welcome beverages from their lounge. When we asked to check out early, they could not refund our money but tried to remedy the situation by offering us a credit for another stay or to move to another location down the beach. When we declined their offers they did give us a 10% refund for our stay.
A couple other things about the room: the fan for the heat/ac unit was very loud. The bathtub drain did not have a cover and the deadbolt lock on our door did not work. The bedroom furniture was on the cheap side. The mattress seemed too small for the bed.
I don’t usually leave ratings on places but I feel that if you are planning on spending a good amount of money for a room, it should be worth it! Anna Maria island is a beautiful spot! We hope to return someday but will not stay at Bali Hai Beach Resort again.
