Close to beach, which was nice. Very outdated and dirty rooms / facilities. I had to fix a bicycle that they had "for rent" just so that I could have one to ride! I am a very positive and optimistic person and usually snub other people's negative feedback, but this is legit.

Beach or tennis 100 feet from the front door of our apartment. Wooden steps up to units need some TLC. We've stayed at the Colony twice in six months and love the location, the beach, the staff and find it the perfect weekend getaway from busy lives in South Florida.

Upon arriving at the property I was dissapointed in the maintence of the property. The buildings were old and needed refreshed. The accomodations were however comfortable but not resort type quality. The beach was amazing and did have a veiw of the ocean. The customer service exceeded any vacation resort I have ever visited. The food was suprisingly excellent and they went the extra mile to provide for our needs. The gym was crowded and did not have updated equipment. The tennis courts were in good condition and readily available. A fresh coat of paint and some updated would do this resort a world of good. I would return possibly due to the beach location and the customer service and the food quality.

I have stayed in Colony Resort many times since I was a child, but had not for several years. I stayed in a 2 bedroom suite for 900/day. It was old and run down. Poorly decorated - sparce - more like a budget motel. ""Kitchen"" was pathetic - no place to even put down a slice of bread to make a sandwich. Dining was very expensive for average quality. No casual dining for a reasonable price. Much better places on the island! Beach is great!

Very courteous and friendly. Our 2 bedroom 2 bath suite could easily sleep 8 people with the 2 Murphy sleepers in the living room.

Rooms were quite nice. Clean and comfortable. Looked a little run down on the outside, and didn't know it was outside access to the rooms. Not necessarily convenient for business; however, I think it would have been great for a tennis vacation.

Very comfortable setting for walking and enjoying the sunsets. It had all the athletic amenities one could want. Everything you need was within walking distance. The rooms were exceptionally clean and comfortable. The furniture was cushy and soft. The bathroom toiletries were perfect for our needs. The outdoor deck was relaxing for our morning coffee. The bed was extremely conforming to your shape and therefore I woke up very rested and no aches as one can get with some matresses. Longboat Key is one of the nicest beach front islands I know and I will be back to take advantage of all that the colony had to offer. The kids activites will come in handy next time we bring the kids. I have no complaints about this resort and will be recommending it to my friends and relatives.
