“Paradise Awaits You”
Hamilton Square, New Jersey
Tortuga is a paradise. All rooms are spacious. Stayed in two bedroom condo. Very clean rooms which are cleaned dailey. Full kitchens and coffee supplied. Nice well kept grounds and pool area. The Gulf is only steps away. Beach chairs are on the beach ready for you. Towels & umbrellas are available at the office. Staff is friendly and accommodating. Owner was on site during our stay. We were attending a wedding and I recommended the Tortuga to eight (sixteen people) other famiy & friends, all were happy with the Tortoga. Shops, places to eat and for beverages are all within walking distance. Cannot wait to go back. T. Beers, Hamilton Sq. N.J.

“BEST PLACE TO STAY ON ANNA MARIA ISLAND”
Lake Placid, Florida
The Tortuga Inn is the "Best place to stay on the island." The units are immaculate (I have stayed there several times) and the staff are especially accommodating.They have beach chairs waiting for you on the beach as well as umbrellas and towels. The units are beautiful, spacious, and extremely clean. You will really enjoy the pool and the beach directly across the street. Also, you can have a bay view in the back of the complex, which is also beautiful.
Room Tip: All you have to do is call and the staff will help you.The website is a must and shows you all the types of units. The units really look as good as on the website.I prefer the rear units (known as the Tortuga Gardens). They are very spacious and beautifully decorated.

“Exactly as described! Paradise!”
Dayton, Ohio
My family and I just returned from Tortuga on Sat. October 15th. We stayed a week but I wish we could have stayed another week! It was exactly what we wanted. My husband, myself, 2 kids (ages 4 and 6) and my mother all stayed together in room 266/266B (Tortuga Gardens). It was perfect. The apartment was huge, clean, well maintained and offered a great view of the bay. The lock-out or "mother-in-law" suite offered more than enough privacy for my mom to escape when she needed some down time. She had her own entrance and a mini-kitchenette area but she really didn't use that. The kitchen and laundry area in the main apartment is soooo big and beautiful! We got a lot of use out of the lanai. We kept the sliding doors open at night to listen to the water and got a great breeze flowing through the entire apartment. The pools were great, the walk to the beach was easy. Plenty of umbrellas and beach chairs and toys for the kids at the pool. They are working on some renovations right now that are going to make Tortuga even more perfect. A small cafe/store/gift shop area by the front pool. That's exactly what they need. We didn't always want to run to the room or leave to run to a restaurant. A place to grab a quick bite/snack/drinks on site will be awesome. My only other suggestion? A little bit of music at the pools. Just something "light" and mixed genre of music for everyone. Several of us made that comment while hanging around the pool. Nothing too loud to disturb other guests and maybe cut it off around 8 p.m. or so. Other than that it was perfect. We loved the location in proximity to the trolley, restaurants, shopping, etc. Staff and owner were all extremely friendly. We WILL be returning!

“Highly recommend”
Chattanooga
Tortuga Inn is an amazing place to stay. The location is right across from the beach. Rooms and grounds make you feel like you are in a slice of paradise. They are very accommodating and provide all you need to enjoy the island and beaches. Super friendly. We plan on returning several times a year and will stay there each time. They are the best on the island.

“Tortuga is REALLY AMAZING”
Phoenix
Stayed at the Tortuga Inn for 8 nights in September 2011. Right from the beginning they where very helpful and knowledgeable in answering our questions and helping us choose the right accommodations. Two small kids and two adults stayed in a ground floor 2 bedroom, 1 bath apt with a nice kitchen. It was a tad on the small side but spacious with the fenced in outdoor area. THE only minor issue I would say is that if cooking for multiple people we could have used a few more pots and pans. Otherwise the place was immaculately clean and had a nice beach vibe. There are 2 pools, both very cool and have everything you could need. The main pool is heated perfectly and has plenty of chairs and tables around it. Very nice, social place to relax and/or meet others that are staying there. Beach is right across from Hotel and the included chairs and umbrellas were a very nice touch, The sand is really soft and the waves are perfectly gentle for small children. We always felt very safe and were able to really enjoy the beach, The provided beach toys came in really handy as well. Let me tell you the best part of this wonderful place. The people that work there. They make a point to try to get to know you and provide personal service. They are VERY attentive to small details and take a lot of pride in their place. EVERYTHING was cleaned daily and the management patrols the property and keeps the place in tiptop shape. We left a bag behind and management was sooo wonderful. They went through our room, brought all of the items we left behind to a private shipping store and it was packed and ready to ship within a few hours. This was after many, many phone calls from us in a panic. They were EXTREMELY helpful, understanding and professional!!! We enjoyed our vacation there sooo much and would not hesitate to recommend Tortuga Inn for anyone looking to have a relaxing vacation with a personalized touch! We are serious, this was a WONDERFUL place to spend our vacation.

“Home Away From Home - carol f”
Dover
I've stayed at Tortuga Inn many times and am never disappointed. The rooms are always very clean and have a homey feel to them. I stayed this time in a studio in Palm Court. Love that area with the tropical plants and fountains. Within walking distance to some great restaurants. Beautiful beach with umbrellas and chairs provided. The pool I used had shade so you can lounge and read. Staff is always helpful and polite. They really make you feel like they're happy you're there. I see no reason to stay anywhere else because this has everything I could ask for. Beautiful, clean room, friendly staff, that's a winner to me! Room Tip: Rooms in Palm Court have a privacy patio with table and chairs. I like that feature.

“Great Place To Stay”
Tampa, Florida
Stayed there two weekend nights. Great place for a short "get away". Rooms were very clean, beach is right there and they provide beach umbrellas, towels and chairs. Didn't get nickeled and dimed the whole time. We had a unit with a full kitchen. Pot, Pans and enough dishes to serve six people. Clean, modern and had a "Key West" feel to it. Hard to find a place like this in Florida any more. A great place to stay!

“Tropical bliss on our anniversary”
North Georgia
Our first time on Anna Maria Island and all I can say is MORE PLEASE! Last minute reservations are the usual for us since our anniversary is during hurricane season. Booked a 2 BDRM 1 BATH room in Palm Court North the Monday before our Friday arrival.Our room was next to the pool & office. Plenty of room for us and our Jack Russell dogchild. Loved the tropical plants and water features in the court. Great private patio with table & chairs. The staff and grounds keepers work hard to keep up the excellent standards. Yes there are no flat screens but plenty of channels and TV is not a priority when visiting this oasis. The beach was well maintained with plenty of chairs and umbrellas.Had breakfast viewing the caribbean colored ocean & dolphins every morning at the Gulf Drive Cafe within walking distance.The trolley is great for exploring the island and it picks up in front of the resort. Every night the sunset was spectacular! We had planned to make our drive home in 2 days staying in Gainesville overnight. As we watched the sunset the last night, we both said "MORE PLEASE", The next morning we asked the staff to extend our reservation one more day. Unfortunately, another guest was coming in. They offered us another room at a discount so we enjoyed one more day in tropical bliss :)
