Location, set up of the property! Beautiful landscaping and privacy of each room. Staff is amazing On our arrival not so much But while checking out i really needed their help since one of my rings slipped through the bathroom vanity and the wall and they went above and beyond Until they found it! Maid, I dont remember your name but you know who I am🤪thank you so much! Ben and Tony from the maintenaince staff, I appreciate all your help🤣 sorry for the trouble!!! Not really sure about the bad reviews… our experience was great The grill wasnt starting, and i texted the number they gave me and the person answered right away and next morning it was fixed! So… to me it was a wonderful stay Amazing staff and of course best beach in USA😜😜🤪

In some rooms enclosed with screeners they had old mattresses and furniture that could be trashed or put somewhere else Shame ….it was the only thing making the pool area look bad or neglected

We were pleasantly surprised at how nice this little resort was. Very polite desk staff. Bikes you can take out, beach chairs and towels you can borrow. You’re about a mile from the beach (crescent beach) and a few miles from siesta key beach (public beach), so taking a bike or car is best…who wants to lug all that beach gear back after the sun, sand and water wear you down?! Parking runs thin at siesta key beach by 10am, get their early or you’ll be jockeying for a parking spot. The rooms were appropriately decorated for the beach. We were in room 24, you get a large living room (couch & tv) and open full kitchen. You also get a master bedroom with full bath (walk-in shower). Finally, you get a small fenced in patio with 4-seat table and hammock. There are two pools, one dedicated for adults only. Pools were clean and neat. Very tropical feel. Plenty of chairs, recliners and hammocks all over the property and around pools. A few fire pits on property as well. I think I saw people playing cornhole by the main pool. Lots of shade available if you want out of the sun. Two parking lots, plenty of spaces.

Didn’t care for the rock bed of the patio, a bit sharp on the feet.

The grounds were amazing and you truly felt like you were at a Caribbean resort with the tropical flowers, tiki huts, pools and outside sitting areas everywhere. Very secluded and quiet. Not far from the beach, bars and restaurants. You can ride hotel provided (free) bikes to the beach. A short Uber to the main shopping area. We ubered from the airport to the hotel and it was only $40 and that was for a mini van size.

It would have been great to have an outside bar with a bartender. It sits on kind of a busy road if you are leaving the hotel. More seating in the living room would have been great but I might be nitpicking.

The resort is a hidden oasis. Loved that there was an adult only pool area. They had plenty of seating in secluded areas in separate areas around the resort.

The pool hours were from dawn to dusk. They should have been open later especially the adult only area. We unfortunately left our AirPods in the room, they stated they would check the room immediately and call us back. The location of the AirPods still pinged there (and still does 2 weeks later) but unfortunately they have not returned them. We stayed there a couple nights then went to Anna Maria Island & told them we would drive back to get them. They eventually stopped taking my calls.

The property is beautifully landscaped. The two pools were a nice feature for a small resort. The suites were large and ours had some really nice decorative pieces of art. The bathroom was nicely tiled and had a walk in open shower that was a treat. And the bonus is the private courtyard.

A few little things like the pool ladders were not covered so in the heat it was hard to hold on to get into the pool. A simple fix with some rubber. The areas where large black stones were used on the walkways were a little difficult for my husband to navigate with his cane. I was worried he might fall. Turtle beach was under "construction" and we were not informed when we checked in. They were not aware and that is something a beach resort should know about.

This quaint resort was a surprise from the moment we drove in. The area is near many restaurants and shopping areas, but the resort once you drive in, it's like you are on your own little island. The grounds are immaculate, and the decorations are perfectly chosen, placed, and selected to make you feel like you are on an actual island. I was pleasantly surprised by how big and small the resort was. At every turn you had a cozy island theme section, tiki area, 21 and over area ( appropriate), and plenty of places you can sit and relax, swing, swim, or play pooch. The room was beautiful and well laid out, very clean, and I absolutely love my own private patio with 100% privacy. They had beach chairs for your use, the beach was within walking distance and they also had free bikes to use. I really did love and enjoy this place. I kept thinking my boys would enjoy coming here. It is a mini paradise. I would love to bring them back sometime. If i do, I will give you a family review.

Nothing really, I truly had no complaints. The staff were around but really not needed as everything ran smoothly and was very well maintained.

From the street, the place is unassuming. It's a hidden gem, lush foliage The vibe is so chill and relaxing. You almost need to push yourself out of there so you could go to the beach. The pool, the music, the fact that you can BBQ your own store bought items. You can do your laundry in the big washers and dryers. The kitchenette is set up with flatware, wine glasses, plates and bowls. Paper towels mini fridge and picnic table that folds down.Remote control AC, Papaya shampoo, conditioner and shower gel dispenser in the walk-in shower. The place is like a tiny village and our room was a cottage feel. We will be back.

I can't think of anything.

This property is amazing!!! The landscaping and foliage makes you feel you are in a private oasis far away from anything even though the main road borders it. They have put so much thoughtfulness into the amenities. Adult and family pools, two fire pits, soothing fountains, gas grill with seating, hammocks and loungers throughout the property, private courtyards with seating, beautiful night time lighting, spacious room that was clean, comfortable and beautiful walk in tiled shower! We will always stay here when we return!

Loved everything about it!

The property had a very relaxed and cozy vibe. I liked the bright colors and feeling like it was more of a ranch style complex instead of something overly modern. The 2 pools (one adults-only) were great amenities. The property is off a main strip and there is plenty to eat and see since the Siesta Key bridge is right next to the property. I loved the mini kitchen which came stocked with silverware and plates along with a working microwave!

it’s not the property’s fault but there were super loud tropical birds squawking outside my window every 20 minutes for the whole night.

- Loved the atmosphere, felt like a private hideaway with all the fencing and plant life. - The aesthetic in combination with all the hammocks, tiki huts, artificial firepits, swing chairs, are going to be the largest draws. It's plenty relaxing just staying at the resort. - There are geckos EVERYWHERE (not inside the room), which my gf and I both loved. Didn't see any bugs, probably thanks to them. - Close proximity to everything. Hardly a minute walking distance to a little plaza with a pizzeria, ice cream shop, Mexican Food. 10 minute drive to Siesta beach parking. - Because of all the trees and plants, and the frequent passing of Florida rainstorms, leaves everywhere is pretty much unavoidable. The staff work diligently to keep the outside clean.

- The actual room inside is nothing special. Backyard patio is nice though.
