“Great Place!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 February 2012
1
person found this review helpful

This was our 5th trip to Anna Maria Island in the past 4 years. We've stayed at other places that were nice, but Tortuga is the best so far! We stayed in 164 in Tortuga Gardens. The unit was very large, immaculately clean, tastefully decorated, with a screened in lanai overlooking the bay. The huge shower and big whirlpool tub in the bathroom was a treat. The pools were warm and it goes without saying the beaches are fabulous. The only disappointment was the front desk staff. They weren't friendly. I had 3 brief encounters during our week stay and almost felt like I was intruding on their other work. That aside Tortuga is a beautiful property.

“A wonderful property with excellent rooms even at the basic level”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 January 2012

This hotel is right across the road from the beach and provides beach chairs for lounging away the day. Even the most basic rooms are large with fully equipped kitchen areas and walk in showers. The multi bedroom suites are largel very beautiful apartments and those on the inland waterway have complete privacy.

Bradenton Beach's quiet time bylaw ensures peaceful evenings and nights.

“Anna Maria island is a little bit of heaven all wrapped in sunshine and crystal blue waters!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 January 2012

We stayed at The Tortuga inn on Anna Maria island...Sweet little or big cottages. Very private! Right across the street from the Beach! The Sunset was to die for! The staff was extra friendly and helpful. We didn't even have a reservation, just stopped in and got lucky! My favorite swimming pool was on the 3rd floor inside one of their buildings. Amazing restaurants near by. My kids rented scooters and drove along the island. We had the best time ever in Anna Maria island. I highly recommend this little piece of paradise to anyone who wants beauty, peace, and serenity!

Room Tip: Ask for a one bedroom or 2 bedroom cottage on the ground floor ...first building closest to the ocea...

“Just as wonderful as I remembered!”

person found this review helpful

We stayed at The Tortuga Inn over New Years weekend. We had a gulfview studio and it was lovely. This was our second stay here and it was as wonderful as we remembered. From the time I made our reserverations and changes, thanks Tom, you were great, to when we checked out everything was perfect.

The Inn is just across the street from their private beach and wonderful view of the gulf and is with in walking distance of shops, restaruants and bars. Our room was cozy, clean and the tub was heavenly. What I loved is that they supplied their guests with toys for the pool for kids, umbrellas for the beach as well as chairs. So if you are flying in you don't have to go searching for these things.

Would highly recommend, the staff is very freindly and the property is so well maintained. We will be back.
