Ilexhurst Hotels, Holmes Beach

"The hotel was spotless, fresh and new in appearance. The staff was amazing. The included breakfast was good and the afternoon cookies were great. If you plan on staying in the Sarasota or Siesta Key area this is a perfect place to stay. Kudos to the staff!"

"Beach is very nice, no frills. Overall it's clearly a 3/4 star range just overall totally fine, nothing great."

"Loved it staff was incredible fav place in FL to go. Will be returning yearly "

"I wouldn’t recommend this hotel. It’s very expensive for what you actually get, especially with all the hidden fees. They charge daily for self-parking in an open lot (with plenty of space), and many amenities come with extra costs that aren’t worth it. The location is inconvenient—far from the beach and most activities. The hotel itself feels plain and not at all like a 5-star experience. The rooftop was mostly closed during my stay, yet you’re still paying for it as part of the amenities. The “clubhouse” is basic (two pools and courts you likely won’t use), the bar is just okay with unfriendly staff, and the food—especially breakfast—is overpriced and underwhelming. Cleanliness and service were disappointing. I found a bug in my room, and the staff didn’t seem to care. I also had to request housekeeping daily, which should be standard."

"Nice hotel VERY close to the hotel. Water pressure was terrible, but otherwise a very nice hotel."

"We’ve been here before and will always come back! The pool area is beautiful and very clean, nice rooms. Staff are very friendly! "
