Tropical Marina & Resort on Lake Beresford

The pictures in the listing for this property are not representative of the "resort" - they are pictures of some other hotel, most likely many other hotels. These are pictures posted by the owners of this establishment. Very shady and borderline scam behavior. This property is WAY too expensive for what it is. The rooms are quite outdated and they don't look clean. We found old food on the floor from a previous stay and the bed linens were stained as well. We were very disappointed.

Tropical Resort and Marina is a quaint, friendly, old Florida property at the end of a dead end road, right on Lake Beresford. Love that the motel rooms offer a kitchen, a nice sitting area in a patio with beautiful, nature views. Lovely shade under Live Oaks and nice marina. Very happy that the rooms have smart TVs and WiFi was very good the weekend we stayed. The stove was a bit delicate because the knobs were replaced and I had be careful to make sure it was off. Minimal pans and nice, basic kitchen ware. Mini split AC was good. Only an 18 min drive to Blue Springs to see the manatees. We will definitely come back in the future and most likely bring our fishing boat. Thank you for a great stay!

This was our first trip here, and it was very nice. The office was very accommodating with late check in and moving our pontoon rental to the next day due to rain. The room was nice and we liked the close parking spaces so you didn't have to carry your luggage any distance. Parking is tight in the back when everyone has big vehicles, but we had no problems. The office has ice, drinks, firewood and tshirts for sale. There are 2 nice restaurants nearby and the Winn Dixie store up the road. If you need a cold beer, or mixed drink, there is a vintage biker bar (smoking allowed inside) next door - no food however you can have Papa Johns Pizza delivered at the bar or to your resort room very quickly. The room was like a mini cabin with a covered back porch so you could sit outside even if it rains. The only minor issues we had were the shower liner and curtain didn't match up so we had water on the floor, we had to watch a youtube video to figure out how to switch the above the door air conditioning unit to heat, because there weren't any directions, and the sliding glass door wouldn't stay on the track and 2 took people to open and close it. However , overall we really liked the place, and will definitely return. The help was all very friendly, and there was always someone working on the grounds. It looks very well kept. The pontoon rental offers several places to eat on the river, and the office provides you a map.

This is a nice place to stay! The accommodations are large and well-equipped! We rented here on a whim, and we were pleasantly surprised. It has an old-school feel and the surroundings are beautiful!

Lacking basic amenities in kitchen and bathroom. no service or supporting staff after 6pm.

This is a lovely get-away location, with great peeks of wildlife. The buildings are older but well-maintained and clean. Comfortable bed with clean linens. No pretense or paying extra for mediocre amenities. We appreciated the kitchenette and the shared green space courtyard. Nice access to the lake. Quick drive into town for groceries and dining options! This would be a great location for a family reunion, crafter's retreat or gathering for a wedding. Don't just get a block of rooms at a hotel when you could snag the whole place! We will be back!

Tropical Resort and Marina is a nod to Old Florida. The spanish moss draping from the oak trees and the lake view from our rooms provided a peaceful and comfortable feeling of relaxing lake cabins. The rooms are older, but charming. It is NOT a hotel chain on a highway. It is nestled on a Lake, providing opportunities for fishing, and pontoon boat rental. They had a food truck on Sunday that added a relaxed camp feel. The 2 bedroom has a kitchen and living area We enjoyed the pool, the fishing pier and the firepit in the evening. We enjoyed local restaurants and Blue Springs. They are pet friendly, The staff was very responsive to our needs. Our family spent 3 days there and felt very peaceful. We all decided we will be coming back.

Location is so beautiful & peaceful. I loved walking around the lake each morning. Rooms are clean & comfortable. And the employees are so courteous, welcoming & patient. I very much enjoyed my stay.

A perfect mix of old & new. Our room (203) even had an old school thermostat control. I asked Aaron to relay to the owners to not change a thing about the property. We loved the foliage, the staff, the room, & the location. Tested the waters for a quick 2 night visit, but plan on returning to rent a pontoon boat & go kayaking or maybe a river boat tour.
