Top Blue Water Explorers Hotel Reviews

Pelican Post at Anna Maria Island Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Great place to stay with all nice amenities and conveniences. Great walking distance food options."

Bridgewalk Resort

10/10 Excellent

"Room was immaculately clean. We never have visited the gulf, so the sand was totally new to us. Did not realize how sanding everything would get. After housekeeping came the sand was swept away, and it was the way the room was when we checked in the first day. Parking was great, having someone patrolling the parking lot for hotel guest and visitors was so nice. It was a great center spot to be on the island. We truly enjoyed being there. I loved how luxurious the room felt and it was a perfect size. Next time we visit we definitely want to stay here for sure! Having the beach chairs and umbrellas that are included in your stay is so practical. Buying beach chairs was not something we wanted to do especially when flying. There isn’t a bad thing I have to say about this place! I love it here!"
