We brought our three sons, their wives and their kids and used suites 1, 2, 3 and 8. There could not have been a better place for us to enjoy a family vacation. Everything Suzette told us about the resort was true. The rooms were great. Suite 8 easily fit the 12 of us and was continuously used. The grandkids would come in and wake us up leaving their parents to sleep a little more. The hot tub and pool were perfect. We used every toy in the place, especially the kayaks and many of us got up close and personal with the dolphins who swam by every morning and sometimes could be seen feeding just beyond the pier. The dolphins were the highlight. The restaurants in the area were great. We walked around the point when we wanted wind and waves, and stayed on our beach when we wanted quiet. Our only suggestions is to put up more hooks in the bathroom in suite 8. And it says so much about the people in the resort when the kids left a day early and we were refunded those nights after they filled with new people. That was not expected. We will be back. A significant added bonus is that the resort allows for COVID safety and it turned out that everyone was vaccinated which was even better. Thank you.

World Class Experience! The whole resort was spotless and clean from rooms to pool. The LED night lighting on the premises were beautiful and mood setting! The private beach was beautiful and full of sea life. We got to swim momentarily with two manatees and were in the area of a couple of porpoises. The staff were Excellent and delivered on everything as promised. Always had clean towels, toiletries and coffee! My Experience was so memorable that I booked another week with the Rod and Reel Resort for the first week of December 2021! I guarantee you won't want to leave once you get there!

This resort was a dream come true for a spring break destination! Four families rented the entire resort together, and we could not have been more pleased. From the host that checked in on us regularly to the separate but together accommodations, we could not have asked for anything more! Everything was clean and beautifully kept up. We can't wait to come again-- and are coming again! This is truly the best destination for multi-families or one extended family. We had a wonderful time!

If you have the opportunity to reserve your stay at The Rod & Reel Resort, do it! You will have had made the best decision. This place is CLEAN. Sparkling clean in fact. We were fortunate enough to go on a weekend when we shared the resort with a handful of people, so the pool/beach/deck were basically ours. Where else can you get that? The guests sharing the resort were all friendly, kind and courteous. The place is lush, beautiful, and modern. Top of the line. Cannot wait to return!

This is our second stay at the Rod and Reel Resort. We loved the location, the pool, the cleanliness of the resort and it had all of the amenities we were looking for. A great place to relax and enjoy the surroundings of Anna Maria Island. We are looking forward to our return to this resort in the near future!
