The kids are sure to sleep soundly after playing by the water at Brandenton Beach. Hunt for cute critters like crabs and snails, dip a toe in the water or maybe even fly a kite!

This stretch of coastline is among the best free attractions in Manatee County. If you'd like to explore beyond Brandenton Beach, also stop by Coquina Beach, Bean Point Beach and Cortez Beach.

9.2/10 Wonderful! (2,232 reviews)

Hotel rooms were very clean and nice; staff was friendly & communicated well; parking was easy; had my mom’s 90th birthday celebration in the Symposium Room and it went beautifully-the room was gorgeous, and the food served from Marcelo’s was excellent, as well as the staff that worked the event! 5 star experience all the way!

8.6/10 Excellent! (1,002 reviews)

The outside of the building could use some tlc but inside was clean and updated. Staff was attentive, polite, & helpful. Breakfast was surprisingly better than I anticipated with hot options outside of the traditional continental options. Furniture around pool was pressure washed every morning and plentiful. There are no seating options for the beach however we would definitely stay here again.
