This was an overall good stay! The room was very welcoming and stocked snacks and drinks, bed was comfortable and access to the tiki bar and pool was very nice. The only thing I could say needs improvement was cleanliness of the bathroom shower. It wasn’t terrible but could use a better wipe down and new shower curtains. However, we had a very nice stay and I would recommend!

Fantastic stay! The condo was clean, comfortable, and exactly as advertised. Great location, easy check-in, and a very responsive host. We loved our time here and would definitely book again. Highly recommend!The bed was comfortable! It had everything we needed for our week stay. The girls at the front desk were very friendly during check-in, even gave us a glass of champagne. The pool and tiki area was a nice feature. Sitting down by the docks at night watching the sunset was very relaxing. We even got to see some manatees. Can’t wait to return!

Ramada Inn & Tarpon Tiki Bar

The bartenders & restaurant servers at the Tarpon Tiki Bar were excellent. Food was delicious. The only issue is we only had two days of 28 with a heated pool. When evening temperatures dipped to 47 degrees the water was awlful. Many people complained to the hotel staff but there was no rush to fix it. Our room was most enjoyable.
