We spent a long weekend at Gasparilla in January, and it was a wonderful experience! The Inn and surrounding cottages are charming. The Inn and rooms are decorated beautifully and we found ample space in the typical inn room. We also rented a cottage, which was a nice way to organize a family trip. We used the cottage to gather... More

Ignore the pretensions of the hotel's website and stay at this hotel!! The old, Victorian shingled hotel has been renovated to perfection. The staff could not have been more helpful or welcoming. The rooms themselves (we had a King superior) were high ceilinged, light and comfortable. Our bed was very comfortable and the sheets and towels light and fluffy. The... More

We (two adults, three kids) stayed here over spring break 2011 for a week. I'll list some pros and cons, but overall we had a very nice experience and will likely return. Pros: • Old-school country club feel, but friendly, relaxed culture. We felt it was a nice blend of civility, luxury and Florida beach culture. • Beautiful hotel, with... More

The hotel was amazing! They had so many thoughtful little gestures like water bottles on bedside nighttable during turndown service. There were so many fun rooms in the hotel to explore, pool room, reading rooms, ping pong portch. The gym/spa was paradise. Super clean and relaxing. We even played bingo with the other guests one night that the hotel sets... More

My husband and I stayed here in October and had an absolutely wonderful time. We've been wanting to come here for years but the cost has always kept us away. After seeing a special deal on their website, we decided to come. Now we can't wait to return. The hotel and the rooms are luxurious. But in an "Old Florida"... More

Spending a long weekend at the Gasparilla Inn & Club was something that exceeded my expectations, which were already very high to begin with. To begin with, Gasparilla Island is a wonderful place to get away. It is small, but is not so isolated that you feel that you are on an underdeveloped and forgotten part of Florida. I can... More

The owners of this property have obviously spent a vast amount of money to update the inn to its former grandeur. In fact, we wonder whether it was as lovely in its heyday as it is today. (I don't understand a previous review as "tired and dated;" we found the place to be pristine). This is not a cheap place... More

My wife was seriously ill last year and the hotel informed me over the phone that I can reapply my deposit to another date in 2011. I called back for this year and they informed me it had to be applied to the end of the season. I felt this was not clear since I did not know the hotel... More

I have never been to Boca Grande Florida, and wanted to visit this historical inn serving the public for 97 years, it is a treasure, with its beautiful columns, pristine gardens, sumptous golf course, and heavenly accomodations including a fire place that sits in the parlor of a cathedral ceiling,BUT coming from the north, I did not know what hit...
