Compass Hotel by Margaritaville Anna Maria Sound

This place is beautiful! Clean nice rooms, the staff is great and helpful. One person stood out above all the rest. The bartender Andi was absolutely amazing! She was hustling the whole time! Helping her staff and her customers, offering helpful suggestions and just being the friendliest person! It was like hanging with a friend you've known your whole life! You are amazing Andi, and we will be back because of you!!

We visited Anna Maria Island for vacation, and fortunately, we chose an excellent place to stay. The hotel exceeded our expectations in every way. From the moment we arrived, the staff was incredibly welcoming, and our room was ready and exactly as booked. It was clean, well-maintained, and everything was in perfect working order. The bathroom was spacious and featured a convenient walk-in shower — a great detail for anyone spending time at the beach. We stayed for three days and enjoyed the included breakfast each morning. The hotel offers a designated breakfast room with a full buffet setup separate from the dining area, which made the experience more organized and pleasant. There were various food options including coffee, cereals, fresh bread, and a fruit station — something for everyone. In terms of amenities, the hotel has a gym and a beautiful lobby area. Bicycles are available for rent, making it easy to explore the island. There’s also a bar right next to the lobby if you’re in the mood for a drink without leaving the property. For something a bit livelier, there’s a nearby restaurant just steps away offering an open bar, great food, live music, and stunning views. In summary, I highly recommend this hotel — we’ll definitely be coming back!

Cindy at the pool was fantastic! Michelle and Chris at the front desk were extremely helpful. Marty saved the day and installed a brand new refrigerator for us! The chef was very knowledgeable about our gluten allergy and the food was excellent! We met the general manager, Brian Keller, as he was interacting with numerous guests throughout the day. It was refreshing to see a general manager that not only cared about the guests but also the employees! We definitely plan on returning to this resort on our next vacation. The views from the pool were also amazing!
