Innisbrook Resort

I had a great experience at Innisbrook. It was relaxing and so much fun. The restaurants on site were amazing and delicious. The grounds were beautiful. The Salamander Spa was outstanding. I had a 90-minute massage with my husband. We were treeated like royalty. The massage and spa were relaxing and refreshing. Thank you to everyone at Innisbrook for a great mid-week break.

I just finished a stay here for a work conference, and while I didn’t get nearly enough time to enjoy everything this stunning resort has to offer, I left with one thing I can’t stop thinking about: the staff. I’ve traveled a lot for work. I’ve stayed in a lot of places. And I can say without hesitation that the team here is among the most genuinely kind, hardworking, and warm groups of people I have ever encountered in hospitality, or honestly anywhere. They, especially the banquet staff, were managing an entire company’s worth of guests, coordinating endless moving pieces, and working long shifts, and they did all of it with real smiles and incredible warmth. They made every single one of my colleagues feel seen and taken care of. That’s not easy. The resort itself is beautiful, and I hope to come back someday and actually enjoy it as a guest. But whoever is responsible for hiring and cultivating this team deserves enormous credit. These are the kinds of people who make a place truly special, and they deserve every recognition and reward that comes their way.

We had a less than desirable experience. The tennis was spectacular as were the pro Dave and his team. We were booked into a room on the second floor at the end of the. Facility. We asked for no more than TWO FLIGHTS OF STAIRS as there are NO ELEVATORS. OUR ROOM was awful. Shower did not work. Sprayed only partially. Could not see the tv from sofa. All bedding was static to the point of a few shocks and a Fourth of July show. The room smelt of musty odor. We called front desk the next morning and had a very smirky front desk employee PAUL who was a smart alec and said he would move us. We specifically told him we were seniors and no more than two flights of stairs to drag our suitcases. Paul moved us to a room with four flights of stairs which included the outside stairs. We were stuck dragging our suitcases 🧳 up four flights. Shameful behavior and we will be reaching out to the GM when we get home. Smiths

We stayed here to do a pottery class that we signed up for. Our room has 2 beds and a third from the couch pull out bed which wasnt bad at all. There's a small kitchen, small refrigerator, toaster, and a small amount of kitchenware. Not bad for a 2 night stay. Indo have to mention that the regular beds are so tall that my mother who is older could not get up on the bed and was getting leg cramps just from trying to get into the bed so the second night I gave her the pullout couch to sleep on which I felt bad about (at first). But after sleeping in the super high bed, I realized she made out cause the pullout couch was way more comfortable than the nice bed was. I'm pretty sore today. And the TV was a nightmare to work. Lol but I guess if you're not in the room very long than it won't matter. I will also mention that we needed more coffee for the coffee maker and a few more coffee cups and they brought them right over. That was nice. We did eat at the grill in property and there was no one in there for a week day but it took what felt like forever to get 2 cheeseburgers and chicken fingers, which made us a litte frustrated but the manager could tell right away that we were frustrated and he apologized and and absolutely gave us a discount which I don't think he even needed to do but he did. Also the food was amazing. The cheeseburger was great and the fries were out of this world. Lol so they truly did take care of us. Which is really appreciated.

.mThe "Best Kept Secret" for Steak in Tampa Bay We just had another wonderful experience at Packard’s Steakhouse, and it has officially become our go-to spot for the best steak in the Tampa Bay area. This was our second visit, and once again, the food was exceptionally fresh and delicious. My wife loves seafood and the fresh grouper at Packards was tender and most delicious. The service remains top-notch—our server, Ralph, was absolutely awesome and made the evening feel special. If you are looking for a meal that is every bit as good as Bern’s Steakhouse, but without the ungodly wait to get a table, this is the place to go. It offers that classic, high-end steakhouse quality with a much more inviting and accessible atmosphere. Highly recommended!
