Compass Hotel By Margaritaville Anna Maria Sound

“Lage gut, trotz großer Entfernungen. Wir würden es gerne empfehlen, wenn der üble Geruch aus der Marina nicht wäre.”

Besuch im April 2024 - 2 Personen – 4 Nächte Gute Lage, mit Blick direkt aufs Meer. Nähe zu den Inseln „Anna Maria“ und „Longboat Key“. Zimmer mit Balkon sind ordentlich.

Besuch im April 2024 - 2 Personen – 4 Nächte Gute Lage, mit Blick direkt aufs Meer. Nähe zu den Inseln „Anna Maria“ und „Longboat Key“. Zimmer mit Balkon sind ordentlich. Das Frühstück (im Preis enthalten) ausreichend, Präsentation „naja“ . Die Wege sind alle recht weit – Bradenton, Saint Petersburg …. Sehr schön die Marina auf der Nordseite, leider aber überschwemmt mit faulendem Seetang und Gras. Dadurch entstehen Fäulnisgase, die direkt in die Zimmer und das ganze Hotel fluten. Das Problem scheint lange bekannt, die Beschwerden laufen ins Leere, der von dem Meer angeschwemmte Bio-Abfall ist kaum zu beherrschen.

“Nice Location but the cleanliness has to be improved”

Das Hotel , die Lage und die Ausstattung sind soweit ok, aber leider wird der Sauberkeit offenbar keine große Aufmerksamkeit gewidmet. Unsere Bettdecke (Duvet Cover) war sehr stark verdreckt und ganz offensichtlich nach dem vorherigen Gast nicht gereinigt worden. Das Badezimmer war leider auch nicht richtig sauber. Die Teppiche in den Fluren und die Aufzüge waren ebenfalls verdreckt und ich habe kein Reinigungsteam in den drei Tagen unseres Aufenthalts gesehen. Die Zimmer werden ohnehin während eines Aufenthalts nicht gereinigt. Sehr schlecht, dass in Zeiten von covid-19 dem nicht mehr Aufmerksamkeit geschenkt wird. Frühstück war ok, kleine Auswahl leider musste man lange warten. Poolbereich war schön, mit Blick auf die Marina, es gibt auch Handtücher, wenn auch diese leider stark abgenutzt.

“Great location, experience lacking for cost”

Pros * The staff were exceptional. Friendly, welcoming, and consistently helpful throughout our stay. They worked incredibly hard and provided great service despite being stretched thin. Any service gaps were clearly the result of understaffing, not the effort or attitude of the employees. * Great… Mehr

Pros * The staff were exceptional. Friendly, welcoming, and consistently helpful throughout our stay. They worked incredibly hard and provided great service despite being stretched thin. Any service gaps were clearly the result of understaffing, not the effort or attitude of the employees. * Great location with easy access to Neal Preserve and Anna Maria Island. * Floridays, the on-site restaurant, was very good. * The bar served excellent drinks and offered a solid happy hour. * The continental breakfast was convenient, and the coffee was excellent with a grab-and-go option available. Areas for Improvement * Six years after the pandemic, it is difficult to justify ongoing understaffing, particularly when advertised amenities depend on adequate staffing. * The pool area was consistently understaffed during a peak travel period, making it challenging for bartenders to keep up with poolside food and drink service. * Pool towels were frequently unavailable despite being listed as a resort amenity. * During busy breakfast periods, dishes and serving items were sometimes unavailable. * The $150 resort fee covers basic amenities such as bottled water, gym access, pool towels, and continental breakfast. However, bottled water and in-room Keurig coffee was never replenished during our six-night stay, and pool towels were often not stocked. These are also standard hotel amenities, so not sure what the resort fee is justifying. * Housekeeping service times were inconsistent and often occurred late in the afternoon (after 4 p.m.), which was inconvenient. Items were also not restocked (face wipes, q tips, hand soap, shower soaps) during our the 6 day stay. * The property does not offer guest laundry facilities, which would be a valuable addition for longer stays. Overall, we enjoyed the location, restaurant, and atmosphere, but the resort would benefit from improved staffing levels and more consistent delivery of the amenities included in the resort fee.

Not as stellar as it once was for logistical reasons. One week stay, room 316 s not turned over by 5 pm if at all. Occured once in 5 days. No signs to indicate one has to call. Do not need more than trash to be collected but it is accumulating. Housekeeping is busy changing lamp shades today so my room must not be on the schedule today either. Curiously housekeeping twice were perched on the furniture outside the one working elevator, all are on their phones throughout the hotel except the front desk where staff was very aware of guests. Not critiquing just was very noticeable because it seemed everyone was on their phone. One of 2 elevators was out all Memorial Day wkend until today Thursday. You can imagine how frustrating it was as the hotel was full. Stairs not obvious. Elevator was used by staff to get housekeeping items situated, those checking in and out, etc. causing long lines and waiting periods. Breakfast is basic, the placement of items caused long delays and the covers to the hot items were very hot to the touch with kids present. Everyone piles up in lines on one side of the room where the hot food, toaster, butter and peanut butter are while the opposite side of the room is empty with some cereal and cold food such as ham, previously frozen "danish" or muffins. Eat early before 0730 to avoid a morning hassle. Cocktails cost about $16. would be better measured to the recipe vice throwing it together so there is consistency between drinks concocted by a single server or two. After two tries with what was called a "Perfect Margarita" and a "Watermelon Margarita I decided to stay with the basics, such as a rum and coke or gin and tonic after trying two cocktails. Bloody Mary was a bland mess. There is nothing exciting about the mixed drinks in taste or appearance. Sad, because that is why you are here, isn"t it? 5 o'clock somewhere.. Dining room late day food was served hot as appropriate and consistent. Room is clean, location great, bed comfortable, hot water in shower.
