Riviera Dunes Hotels, Palmetto

"The room was well air conditioned, no bed bugs, roaches, or other bugs. Delicious drinks at the tiki bar and the pool was a lifesaver- very clean and refreshing!"

"Perfect"

"The staff was friendly and even helped steer us towards a great spot for lunch in downtown Sarasota. The breakfast was great and offered hot options instead of just the typical continental breakfast. I LOVED the mesmerizing decor and the cleanliness throughout the property. Just one complaint: the A/C in the room did not get very cold. But we really did enjoy our stay and will return! "

"Fabulous!"

"everything about this little resort was wonderful. even though it is off a main road it was quiet,peaceful and felt secluded. I would definitely return for another visit! "

"The hotel is ok, but one thing was extremely annoying and bothered, there was so many tiny flies in the bathroom non stop! It was really hard to wash your face, brush teeth with all that insects flying around your face all the time. Breakfast was ok. It’s just people staying there were kinda annoying and didn’t care there are others around them. Definitely not going back. I just expect more from hotel like this."

"Grear"

"We had a great view of Tropicana field and the business district from our 7th floor balcony. It is a very short walk to there as well."

"Parking is VERY problematic. There is no on-site parking. Their ‘onsite’ parking is several blocks away in a public garage. You will need to roll your suitcase several city blocks and anytime you go out, be prepared to walk back and forth. Getting back from a function and walking through the city at 1am alone was not something I would have willingly signed up for. I will never stay at this hotel for this reason alone. I can see how this would be a huge issue for older people or people with mobility issues. One night of parking cost me $25 and the next was $38. Definitely false advertising or twisting it at the least. Only redeeming factor is the location is great. Lots of restaurants and shops but not enough for me to recommend this spot to anyone. "
