“Great Memorial Day Getaway”
This was my second or third trip to the Tarpon Lodge and it was as wonderful as I remember it. The historic lodge on Pine Island, Florida, is a great place to go for a quiet, relaxing weekend. Fun place to take your boat as there are docking facilities and lots of fun islands nearby to explore. The service is excellent! Because it is not a large facility and it is family-owned and managed, you will be treated more like a guest visiting a friend’s home than a patron staying in a hotel. The rooms in the historic part of the lodge, with the beautiful old pine wood floors, are my favorite. It has the feel of a quaint B&B. Other members of my family stayed in the newer part and their rooms were carpeted and more like a hotel room. There are also two “boat house” rooms on the property where some of my family have stayed with young children and enjoyed it, as it is more like an efficiency. I have not seen those rooms. The restaurant is very good, the servers are very friendly, the pool is very nice. The grounds are beautiful and a great place to watch stunning sunsets.
