Bee Ridge Hotel with Pool

"This was one of the worst places ever. For starters, the front desk clerk tried to deny my granddaughter‘s service pet by saying that people with PTSD/anxiety do not need service dogs they have emotional support animals when in fact that is far from the truth. She told me that I would need to find another place for the animal to stay. I went outside and told my granddaughter what was said and my granddaughter became hysterical. Thankfully, her dog was there to calm her down. I called the office and spoke to the front desk, clerk again and told her that the dog was in fact, a service dog and should not be denied access to the property. I also told her that my granddaughter became hysterical when I told her the dog couldn’t stay. The woman then stated that she would alert everybody that the dog is a service dog, but never once apologized for denying the dog in the first place or for causing my granddaughter to have a breakdown. Then, at about 1:30 in the morning, my phone rings. I woke up from the phone ringing, but did not answer it because I didn’t want to wake my granddaughter or my husband up so I let it go to voicemail. Next, comes a text stating that a dog was found and they wanted to know if it was my dog. It’s a trained service dog, so why would they call me or text me in the middle of the night to ask me if that dog belonged to me? The place was equivalent to a Days Inn. A motel, not a resort or a hotel. It was also dirty and smelled musty. I checked out after 1 day"

"Great staff, cool amenities, room had a good size patio area in the back"

"Amazing staff. Unfortunately Tub backed up & pool drinks were overpriced, no clean pool towels in bin first evening, hot tub jets didn’t work."

"Really nice stay. Everyone was super friendly and room was clean. I love that they give beach chairs, beach towels, beach toys for kids, and bikes for free!! Perfect 3 day stay. "

"Rooms give ‘spartan’ a whole new meaning. Only one chair to sit on. No shelf space in the bathroom. "

"If you’re looking for a laid back option within walking distance to the beach and village it is a convenient place to stay. The room amenities are very limited so make sure you come prepared. "

"It’s was a nice place to stay so close to beach and free shuttle to the village"

"It’s a beautiful hotel right on the beach. Spacious clean rooms. "

"My wife and I were really impressed with our experience. The service was outstanding, from the valet to the front desk to the Tiki bar staff and servers at Drift. We would definitely return and recommend to others."
