Mello on the Beach is an adorable low-density motel-style accommodation that sits on Manatee Beach in Anna Maria Island. Our rooms were spotless and very comfortable. The decor of the room and the entire complex is adorable! The fact that they supply a beach umbrella and two chairs, along with a cooler, is Wonderful. The beach itself was extremely crowded while we were there, as it is right on the public access point. We had to walk quite a ways down to find a spot away from the crowd, but the views were lovely. We had an end unit in the complex because we thought we would be able to sit on the balcony and watch the waves, but could only see a very small bit of the actual ocean through the foliage and with the sea breeze blocked, it was mosquito-y. The pool was clean but small, and the water was bathtub warm, not surprising for July, but be aware. Anna Maria Island was also far more crowded than I expected, as what I had read in articles promoting it all talked about how quiet and undiscovered it was! Obviously, those articles have made it less “undiscovered” lol. Restaurants and stores and fun shopping places were all very convenient and the food was good wherever we went. All in all, we had an absolutely wonderful time in spite of the negatives. I would recommend mello on the beach if you don’t mind a less secluded place!
