The Gasparilla Inn & Club

There was visible mold in our hotel room, and it made both me and my husband extremely sick. Despite notifying the staff immediately, they waited three days to move us to a different room. By then, our symptoms had worsened significantly—I developed severe allergy-like reactions, and my husband’s eyes became extremely red and irritated. When I spoke with the manager, Brett Sherman, he outright denied the presence of mold, offered no apology, and even laughed at me. My husband, who works in high-end real estate in Los Angeles, sent a photo of the air vents to a mold inspector he’s worked with for over 20 years. The inspector said the growth strongly resembles Aspergillus, though of course, proper testing is required to confirm that. Regardless, it was completely unprofessional for the staff to dismiss our health concerns, deny the visible issue without proper evaluation, and refuse to acknowledge the inconvenience and harm caused. We weren’t even offered an apology for the delay in moving rooms or the resulting illness. Attached are photos of the vents and my husband’s eyes for reference.

Spa & laned lap pool, physical therapy, massage, and a charter w/ Captain Patrick for an afternoon to Cabbage key were an excellent long winter break. Employees were all extremely professional & warm. Our cottage was perfect down to every detail.

Lovely, lovely resort. Beautifully appointed. Top notch service. Comfortable; not pretentious. Front porch and back porch; beautiful pastel Florida upholstery in the numerous sitting rooms. Really great gift shops. Food is exceptional. The coffee is good!

We had the opportunity to stay here for their annual “B4 weekend.” Everything was wonderful from the moment we arrived. It definitely transports you to that old florida feeling. The decor is so cute and furniture everywhere is so comfortable! It’s clean and smells good. The staff is very attentive. Our room felt like we were staying in a relatives guest bedroom. The beach club is beautiful and has 3 different pools to choose from right on the beach. It was bright and spacious. We had lunch there one day that was delicious. We took a walk over to the golf course which was also beautiful. The surrounding little shops were fun to explore. The B4 event itself had incredible food and we are excited come back next year.

From the moment I checked in til I checked out it was a wonderful experience. The staff ere wonderful. The bellman even went and got my car in the pouring rain. The food was excellent. Probably the best salmon I’ve ever tasted. Beautiful facilities and grounds
