We stayed in Suite 8 and it is gorgeous! The view from inside or on the deck was perfect, even better than it looked online. The resort is terrific – beautiful, very private and quiet. My brother and sister in law have been wintering in Florida for 20+ years and were impressed with the Rod and Reel. The finishes are superior and the beach is right outside the gate, the pool was beautifully lit at night, the kayaks were fun and we rode the bikes to restaurants and all over the island. The pool and hot tub were spotless and refreshing.
The Rod and Reel Pier next door had good food and was so entertaining with people fishing all day long. We gravitated to it daily.
Suzette was terrific to deal with and Ty & Tanya took great care of us and kept the resort in order, from providing whatever we needed to even raking the beach every day.
Anna Maria has loads of great restaurants and is very scenic. It’s easy to walk to many places, too.
We’re coming back to Suite 8 at the Rod and Reel next February.
