We happened upon Barefoot Beach Hotel recently and had a fantastic visit (4 nights). It was instantaneously soothing to have the beach right there with the gulf breeze and sounds that we enjoyed on the balcony and inside the room! I was hugely impressed by Heath, Aaron, and Cindy in terms of customer service (and finding great customer service can... More

I'd like to start off by apologizing for a less than satisfactory stay with us. The office made me aware immediately that you found a "Palmetto Bug" in your room and the claim about the mattress having a small tear in it. There was conversation with my staff of a picture that you were going to provide to us. However... More

I have stayed on the gulf side of Florida on numerous occasions. Basically all the accommodation is comparable. What I look for is cleanliness and view (will spend most of the time outside anyway). The pool was on the smallish side. All in all, a good-great place, with friendly staff.

We have stayed at Barefoot Beach twice. Being Florida natives that have moved out of state we know this area very well! We have a large family and Barefoot accommodates well. My husband grills out by the pool and we had friends and family come visit us while here......the staff goes above and beyond. When our youngest son locked the... More

After a little glitch at check-in (a little my fault a little their fault), we had a fabulous vacation. Aaron solved the problem and made our stay even better than we had planned. Everyone who works at this hotel was great. Aaron, Cindy and Heath couldn't have been nicer or more helpful. The rooms were clean and very well equipped,... More

Thank you for the kind words. We are very sorry the weather was not warm while you were here. Unfortunately this is something we cannot control. Our pool however is heated to 84 degrees and is very nice to swim in when it's cold outside. We are very sorry you did not have a chance to check the water temperature.... More

This is our third year in a row visiting Barefoot Beach Resort and it never disappoints. Grounds were well maintained, pool area was super nice and the beach is right out the door!

Stumbled Upon It Here On Tripadvisor And So Glad We Did! The People Checking Us In Were Wonderful And Very Accommodating. The Room Was Just Right. My Only Regret Was That We Didn't Find It Days Earlier After Spending ThreeTimes As Much For Something Not As Nice! We Will Definitely Be Back!

Nicely located by all the shopping and the beach. My room was facing the pool and my wifi worked perfectly. I seen others had trouble so they must have resolved the issue. Clean room, no issues with anything.
