Tropical Beach Resorts
Website pictures of the rooms made rooms seem larger than they were. Also, our room was noisy in morning with trash cans being wheeled through. One pool closed for maintenance on one day. Beach chairs too expensive.

Compass Hotel by Margaritaville Anna Maria Sound
Room was clean, view was nice. Staff was great! My only complaint was everything was outdated and total lack of water pressure. The shower was old and the water barely trickled out. Nothing anyone can do but for a beach vacation resort that is something that should be addressed.
