The Tropic Isle is a quiet little hotel/condo which has been redecorated in very upscale Florida fashion. Our small one bedroom unit was perfect for me and my husband for our 9 day stay. The pool was just the right temperature with plenty of beach chairs. The location could not have been better unless it was directly on the beach instead of across but then the price would have been much more as well. Just a block from the trolley and within walking distance to plenty of restaurants and bars. The nice BBQ/gazebo was a great place to cook if you didn't want to go out. Bradenton Beach was lively and just a hop across the bridge to Sarasota or Long Boat key. I hopefully will be returning to the Tropic Isle Resort!

We hadn't planned on staying at the TIBR, but I messed up my reservation at the Tortuga resort nearby, owned by the same management. Luckily, it was cold when we arrived so many visitors didn't show for their peak season reservations and the Tortuga inn sent us here.
From the outside it looks like the accommodations could go either way, but the renovations of this "old Florida" hotel are simply wonderful. Tasteful, über clean and comfortable. The walls are still thin (they apparently didn't have them further insulated), but the noise policy minimizes undue disturbances.
The location is iffy only bc to cross the main road to reach the beach, a curve in the road at the closest crossing point is precarious. Walk 50 feet north and you'll be fine, although my traveling companion noted she would not want to cross here with her three children in tow.
I would readily stay here again.

We were pleasantly surprised how clean, comfortable and spacious the luxury studio unit was.

The office personnel were warm, friendly and very helpful.............Even though we have family nearby, we plan on using this as our our retreat/getaway for our r and r time together..

It has the anemities for all and the beach is just across the road......

A great place!!!

Myself and my two business partners scheduled a "planning weekend" at the Tropical Isle Beach Resort. We stayed in the 2 bedroom/1 bath room near the pool. We were very happy with the resort, friendliness of the staff and cleanliness of the rooms. The rooms appear to have been recently remodeled. The rooms were spacious, the kitchen adequately supplied with dishes, pans, etc.. We really enjoyed the atmosphere and the gazebo area near the pool where we held our meetings. The resort offers a heated pool with all the amenities you need - towels, chairs/umbrellas for the beach, etc.. We were very happy with our choice of Tropic Isle Beach Resort and would definitely come back for future planning weekends or family vacations.
