We had a fantastic weekend stay on Anna Maria Island! The hotel is beautifully located right on the beach, providing stunning oceanfront views directly from our room. The staff was genuinely welcoming, especially Sunshine at the bar, who gave us great local recommendations. However, we did encounter some issues with the initial room we were given, which was in poor condition, but the hotel did make it right by relocating us to a lovely, renovated room afterward. Overall, a great choice for a beach getaway, but make sure you ask for a recently updated room.

I had a bittersweet experience at this hotel. The location is stunning with breathtaking oceanfront views, and the room I stayed in was beautifully remodeled and very comfortable. However, the service left much to be desired, as the staff seemed disorganized and unhelpful. Additionally, the beach access was unexpectedly closed during my stay, which was a huge letdown given the beautiful scenery.

This hotel is located right on the beach, making it an ideal spot for a beach getaway. The rooms are clean and bring a certain charm with their retro decor, but some could use a facelift. I loved the convenience of having a full kitchen and beach gear available, but not having an ice machine was a bit inconvenient. Overall, it offers good value for money, but there are some outdated elements that need attention.

The one-bedroom courtyard room we stayed in felt a bit outdated, although it had a full kitchen and a lovely balcony. The king bed was two twins pushed together, which wasn't the most comfortable.

My stay at Bali Hai was truly wonderful, highlighted by stunning oceanfront views and a relaxed atmosphere. The rooms were fresh and inviting, making it a delightful escape. While there were a few minor hiccups with housekeeping and service efficiency, I came away feeling rejuvenated and eager to return. For great value, especially for the beach experience, it's hard to beat Bali Hai!

I had an amazing stay at this hotel! The beach was just steps away, and the views from my room were stunning. The rooms were well-decorated with a modern touch, and the overall ambiance felt luxurious yet relaxing. While the service was a bit lacking in terms of responsiveness to inquiries, I appreciated the comfortable beds and great amenities. The lack of an in-house restaurant was a slight drawback, but there were plenty of nearby dining options to explore.
