Effie……This property is absolutely beautiful. So clean and so much entertainment at night in the lobby. We ate a decent priced breakfast in the restaurant downstairs. The rooftop pool was amazing. We got up to the pool at 10am to claim a couple chairs because it’s not huge. Food and drinks opens up at 11am. Tuna nachos were 10/10! It is its own little world at this resort. It’s huge and they shuttle you around to different areas. It’s incredible and it’s just a couple minutes from the beach on the shuttle. And the side doors to this hotel actually drop you right into the cute little area of Baytown Wharf. We will be back. This was a wonderful stay and sooooo family friendly.

We loved Hotel Effie and won’t stay anywhere else now. Our trip to Florida began at the Island Resort which was a huge letdown. It was dirty and extremely rundown. We were not comfortable staying there so after some research I came across Hotel Effie and booked it right away. Immediately upon pulling up to the hotel, we could tell it was clean and well maintained. They have valet service and the lobby is stunning. The check in was smooth and easy. Our room was clean and the overall feel of the space and hotel in general is luxurious. The view was beautiful with golf course and bay in sight. Food from the full restaurant was a letdown but they have different options on the rooftop pool/bar. We truly enjoyed our stay and will return. The only area of improvement would be the food flavor and quality.

Attentive and friendly staff! Room was very clean and tidy, quiet at night. Close by food and a great brunch spot (Ruby Slipper) in walking distance. Rooftop pool is a vibe, bar is located a few feet away. Beach is only a 5 minute drive across the street. Property is secluded with a security checkpoint they only allow you in with a pass.

The hotel was beautiful and in an area that is gated and quiet. The front desk staff are the rudest people I have ever met. Be prepared to be talked to like you’re dumb. The valet staff is amazing and courteous. Front desk needs tons of training.
