We booked a 3-night Memorial Day weekend stay in a junior suite, being told it was a "very quiet" wing of the hotel. Upon arrival we were greeted by hillbillies with screaming children and country music blasting out of their rooms. The initial young female desk clerk quickly responded to our (and other couples') complaints but her supervisor followed up... More

Most people will come here for Manatee tours. This hotel has one of the oldest/original shops offering Manatee tours, although they are a bit pricey. We used the company located at the Best Western hotel, which was way cheaper and excellent. The hotel is OK. The location is nice at the waterfront, but not very central. The hotel entails multiple... More

Boat rentals, cool pool area, OK rooms, good local food, good golf course, and very reasonable price. The manatee tours and dolphin excursions are the bomb. They take dogs too!

Located in beautiful nature on the river. Nice pool with towels, chairs and tiki bar. Adventure Center next door with boat rental and Manetee Tours. The boats are very nice and exelent service. The tree sisters spring is the closest you ever get to paradise. Enjoy !

Strong perfume smells that are covering up what could be mold and mildew so if you have any type of allergy stay away. I spoke to a very nice women at the desk, however she was clueless... More

We found this hotel through Tripadvisor and we are so happy we did! In fact our original reservation was for 1 night and we stayed 3 then returned the next week for 4 more nights. Loved the location of the hotel, the grounds re lovely and with all the wildlife viewing we found plenty to do. The dive shop made... More

What a beautiful place. Located on a peninsula, it was a short boat ride to “manatee central”. The boat rentals were steps from the room. Really easy to rent a boat and go. The hotel was built in the early 60s, and although it’s been beautifully updated, it still has that cool, I Dream of Jeannie, Florida of the 60s... More
