For the price of a five-star hotel, you expect WIFI to work well in both the marina and the lounge room which was not the case. And if you ask reception staff to check the WIFI, you expect that they know where their WIFI system is located and how to maintain it. A nice "I do not know, sorry" is not sufficient but a sign that management is not training their employees appropriately.

Will be back!

Wi Fi much improved from our visit a year ago. However pool area not very clean: overflowing trash bins at pool and tables needed wiped down. Ice cream parlor very dirty both inside and out.

Marina Response:
Terry, your visit with us both this year and the year previously was over the busy Memorial Holdiay Weekend. The group at the pool that partied until 1 am will not be allowed to return. Yes, they did make a mess of the tables & left a lot of trash which my staff promptly cleaned when they returned to work next day. It's unfortunate that some can be so disrespectful of others.

Excellent spot on the Manatee River. We enjoy it for the nice pool, clean and well organized shower/bathroom area, and the proximity to off property amenities. We walked to the Saturday market and a nearby brewery. On the downside, the last two times we've stayed here we've had occasional problems with strong sewage odors coming from the marina office building. Not a deal killer, but a persistent problem.

This marina is in an ideal location in downtown Bradenton and within walking distance to great hotels, restaurants, and shops. The staff members are helpful and courteous, and all the amenities are updated. Well protected with large fuel dockage and easy access in and out. The marina mostly caters to larger vessels, but I truly appreciate them finding room for our boat (Pursuit 235 DC) over the Memorial Day Weekend. This was our third stay and we're looking forward to returning soon.

New docks very nice, however had slip on ramp connecting floating dock to access gate. Reported incident to marina manager, but was not contacted about my condition or corrective action. WiFi had weak signal at A-39 dock. Could not find recycle containers. Given gate code for dock access, however numbers were worn off entry keypad. Great individual head/showers. Dock staff very friendly and helpful. Good meal at Pier 22 restaurant.

The marina, docks and facilities are top notch. One unusual thing to report is that they closed early on Christmas Eve and didn’t bother to alert us. With the help of friendly boaters we just picked our own slip.

Marina Response:
Thank you for your kind review. Apologies for not alerting you in advance that we would be closing early on Christmas Eve. We are open 7 days a week all year round except for Thanksgiving Day, Christmas Eve after 12 noon, Christmas Day & New Year's Day. I'm glad our boaters were able to assist you. We do have a great group of boaters and staff.

We stayed here a few years ago before the marina was remodeled. Great location. Easy walk to downtown and restaurants. New marina has nice floating docks. Facilities are the same as before, pool and bathrooms. Bathrooms maybe upgraded a bit. WiFi has been replaced with wired Ethernet at each power pedestal. Great if you have Ethernet cable and router or other to plug it into. (We didn’t).

Marina Response:
Uklelegirl, Thank you for taking the time to write a review. Thank you for your complements regarding our floating docks. Yes, our pool was remodeled with new marcite, tile, pavers and pool furniture. We completely remodeled our restrooms and showers with new tile & fixtures & added a boater's lounge upstairs which has a computer with internet access. In addition, we added a new awning, lighting, & landscaping. Since your vessel is a catamaran and a wide beam, the only location we had for you for the holiday weekend was on the T-head of B dock. This time of year, we usually have very limited availability. B Dock is setup more for our long-term customers, and is hard wired for internet, which provides greater speeds and less lagging. The ethernet connection is located on the power pedestal at each slip. We have ethernet cables available for loan if needed. We apologize that we didn't meet your expectations regarding the wi-fi services.

Couldn't say enough above the facilities and especially the staff. We encountered engine issues on the way,and being fifty miles from our home port..I was lost as to who I could get to come to the marina and diagnose and repair the problem. So,up to the marina office I went to see if they could be of assistance..within two seconds after explaining our dilemma, Sean (hope that's the correct spelling) went over to the wall and pulled out a card and said this is the guy you want to call..he can fix you up. I called,and within an hour and a half the technician was there and diagnosed the issue,and proceed with the repair. If Sean had not taken the initiative, it would not of had the happy ending that it did. Now,about the marina facilities. All new floating fingers with shore power and fresh water. Very wide and accomodating,lots of light with great Security. Swimming pool,freshly rehabbed shower rooms, tv,computer,reading room.All very well done. Conveniently located right next to the River Walk,which is a great stroll along the river. Lots of places to see and eat. So..after reading this would you think I would HIGHLY recommend this place..FIVE STARS doesn't do it justice!!

Really a very nice place to spend a week. Beautiful secure floating docks, friendly knowledgeable dock staff, new pool, spotless independent restroom/showers (6) in a very nice and friendly town. The town has a beautiful 1.5 mile river walk. Two of our favorite restaurants are O’Bricks on Main and Sage Brisket off 14th. Even on a -1’ minus tide we had 10’ of water all the way to the Marina, including the Marina Docks. 5 Star.
