Luxury Hotels in South Bradenton, Bradenton

"I stay here often and sometimes for extended times like over a week. Staff the last few years have been wonderful and welcoming. But lately… not so much. Signs say no smoking, but there are always people outside by the doors smoking. It once felt like a true “home away from home” to now people bragging they stay for $50 a night… where do I f"

"We stayed here for 5 nights with our 5 month old baby for a little R&R away from the northeast. We are so happy we chose The Don. It is an interesting and beautiful historic property right on a gorgeous beach with pools and several nice spots to eat and drink on site. The place is well managed and we felt very well take care of. From day 1, what made our experience were the wonderful people who work throughout the resort. Special shoutouts to Diana, the server at The Rowe Bar who gave us helpful tips on things to check out in the area, Jackie who kept the drinks and good vibes coming at the pool, and Yven and Jeckson from the coffee and gelato bar. The housekeeping staff were all super friendly and took great care of the room everyday. Dennis and the valet and bell teams got us in and out efficiently whenever we stepped out. We were able to get into St Pete to visit the Pier area a few nights and it was a very short drive. The list of excellent people working here goes on and on. We would definitely recommend The Don and would love to come back."

"We had a short but very pleasant stay at the Compass Hotel by Margaritaville. Our room had a lovely water view, and the entire property is beautifully maintained. A relaxing and enjoyable stop, would happily return."
