My visit to the Inn was different than anyone who's stayed there before. I fulfilled a 55 year-old dream of being a guest in the hotel where, at age 16, I operated the elevator, as well as cared for children of guests. Back in the mid 50's I thought it would be the greatest thing in the world to be... more

Let me begin by saying that my family travels extensively. We spend Thousands every year on vacations. We are not society, but upper class family who expects service and amenities to match the price being paid. Upon checkin the young lady was NOT friendly in fact quite the opposite and bellboy did not even offer to help with bags. Rooms... more

My husband and I celebrated our anniversary at the Gasparilla Inn recently and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. I have always loved Boca Grande and the Gasparilla in is quintessential Boca Grande. Not overstated but still elegant and timeless. We stayed in one of the cottages and it was nice to have our own porch. The only minor complaint is that... more

I stayed at the Inn over the four day Presidents Weekend with my two daughters 11 and 13. We had two rooms in one of the cottages (#52). The rooms have been recently remodeled throughout and are very nicely done, including the bathrooms. High ceilings, big windows and a porch. There are two other rooms in the same cottage (that... more

I would second parts of the previous review. Let me state up front that Boca Grande is a wonderful relic of Old Florida. No chain stores, just a very simple, easily navigable, quaint, and friendly village. The island itself is gorgeous, and serene. If you're looking for night life (we certainly weren't), this is NOT the place you're looking for.... more

For the record, I love Boca Grande and love this Inn. I picked this location for my wedding several years ago because of how much I love the charm of the place. After planning a wedding, getting married, and several trips to the Gasparilla Inn I continue to be unimpressed and dissapointed by management and feel there is so much... more

A lovely get away. Set in a very classy old Florida mansion. Rooms are VERY comfy. We went for the golf and were NOT disappointed. The course and practice facility are immaculate. No bag lines here, the course is lightly played. Much more yardage than one would expect from the average florida course. The pool, beach, and weight room were... more

The Gasparilla Inn is exactly how you want a historic inn to be. Old World on the outside, with all the modern conviences. This property is lovingly maintained. It is so clean! Loved the turn down service with a bottle of water placed at the bedside each night, and a little bag of shell with a thank you note on... more

Pricey, but a wonderful stay in one of the bungalows. Interesting golf course exceeded expectations; very good and friendly service. more
