Quotes from a few of our guests!

“Beyond wonderful!” - Bradenton, Florida
For my daughter and her new husband's pre-wedding party and honeymoon first night, there could be no more perfect site than the Tortuga Inn. Staff were helpful and friendly, the accommodations were first class, spectacular scenery, our own heated pool, perfect space for a pre-wedding party, wedding day prep, and a luxurious apartment to return to after the wedding reception - wow! The newly-weds raved about it. We will be back!

“ Best experience ever! ” - St Pete
We checked into the Tortuga Inn initially as a chance to plan our wedding and reception. We were lucky enough to have won the first annual Anna Maria Island Wedding Festival in January. One of the packages we won was a weekend getaway at Tortuga Inn, so we decided to use that as our "home base" for all of our wedding planning. However, once we were relaxed and captivated with the sheer beauty of Anna Maria Island and the impeccable services offered by David Teitelbaum and his staff at Torguga, we were inspired to move forward and ELOPE during our fabulous stay at the resort. David, and his assistant, Katy, made sure that every detail was addressed. Within a matter of 48 hours we were able to have the wedding of our dreams, enjoy first class accommodations, and celebrate the best days of our lives. Thank you David, Katy and staff for the most memorable days of our lives!

“Amazing!!!” - Norridge, IL
I vacationed here with my (now) husband a year ago (April 2008) on our 1st vacation together. We agreed then that we would honeymoon here (and we did on April 19th 2009) and spend some kind of time here every year for the rest of our lives. It is quiet and there is nothing to do on the island except relax, eat, swim and soak up the sun. The staff at Tradewinds makes sure you have no worries. They take care of everything from clean rooms to suggestions for dinner. This is the absolute definition of vacation to us. He is my best friend and there is no where else I would rather be than spending time with him in a place where only we exist. The only decisions to make are where to eat and whether to go to the pool or the beach. If you want to RELAX on vacation, go to the Tradewinds on Anna Maria Island!

“A Little Piece of Heaven” - Columbus, Indiana
We have stayed at 5 star resorts on Sanibel and Marco Island and I would select to stay at SeaSide Resort, Bradenton over them time and time again. Thank you SeaSide, Bradenton; don't change a thing. You made our 30th wedding anniversary truly wonderful!
