Lido Beach Resort

10/10 Excellent

"Great price, right on the beach, room came with kitchen are with full refrigerator and microwave, they don’t try to up charge. Lots of shells at beach"

Kompose Boutique Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"A design gem worth visiting A lovely boutique hotel where every detail reflects great taste and personality. Julio at the front desk was especially welcoming and attentive throughout our stay. The only quirk: the shower and toilet share a sliding door — opening one closes the other, which gets a bit awkward. A minor detail in an otherwise excellent experience. Highly recommended for design lovers."

Tropical Beach Resorts

10/10 Excellent

"I already miss being able to walk on the beach first thing in the morning or just before turning in for the night. I will definitely stay again if I go back to Sarasota. The room was adorable but I would say if you are traveling with a friend rather than solo or with a romantic partner you may find it too small. As I was by myself it was no big deal but if I had been with my friend or sister as I had originally planned I would have needed a larger room for more bathroom privacy"

Azul Resort Siesta Key

4/10 Poor

"So when I booked this resort through Expedia, the night I arrived to the resort I called the number and was trying to check in. It was a very unorthodox way to check in. Very confusing for my first solo trip and knowing how check out procedures work for a hotel. No one was available in “reception” meaning there was a note hanging on the “office” door. There also seemed to be a lack of care for guests. Not having a lifeguard on duty or a simple first aid kit available for injuries. Very your on your own feel. And there’s a shuttle and beach access within walking distance that management isn’t aware of to give information on. The beach was beautiful. And the room was decent. For a studio seems suitable just no microwave."
