We are return vacationers through our Bluegreen timeshare to Resort 66. We love the location & the beach! The laid-back, small-town atmosphere can't be beat. This is miles away from hi-rise glamour. The location is what we love and return to. Rod & Reel Pier & Rotten Ralphs are favorite restaurants.
The units are modest, one bedroom pullout sofa units that sleep 4 at most. They are clean and we noticed new paint, new couch, new DVD players, new pool chairs & umbrellas since our last trip. The pool and spa are old but clean. No inflatables.
There were very few kids when we stayed... For our children (3/5) to play with other kids their age we had to head to the beach. Most other guests were retirement age. So evenings were quiet. The Beach Bistro Restaurant right there is very elegant & elite... not for family dining.
In our past two times at this resort we have run into families that were disappointed with the place. They even chose to give up the rest of their weeks and left early to find a different hotel in another location.
The sunsets are BEAUTIFUL!! You really need to rent beach supplies locally as the resort doesn't offer many chairs, umbrella, etc.. for use on the beach.
A rental car is a must!
We will return, with children the early bedtimes/ quiet nights don't bother us. The modest rooms are balanced with the convenience of having the beach right there, it was convenient for naps/ play/ snacks/ pool.
Staff were nice, but mostly kept out of our way.
We had fun! A quiet, family kind of fun.

What a lovely place Anna Marie Island is. This resort was almost on the beach, the sunsets are beautiful, and the beach when we visited was quiet. The location to all ameneties is excellent, even the trip to Busch Gardens did not take more than one hour and the interstate is easily accesible. On the down side, we found the first unit allocated, a studio room 110, to be dismal, right opposite the back of the beach restaurant a few feet away. We were moved to another room, and things picked up. The front of house staff were friendly, the resort spotlessly clean, the pool area, although not big was adequate, as the ocean is only a few feet away. Dolphins can be seen on a daily basis. I would certainly return there again.

This was a wonderful place to stay! It's small, quite and great if you have kids or not. The pool and the amenities are clean. Plus its right on a great beach!

We love it on the island. The resort has made a great deal of changes that are very aesthetically appealing. The area is quiet and relaxing. Great dolphin watch area. Every sunset is beautiful. The restaurants in the area are superb. We have returned for the last 7 years and look forward to many more.
