Golden Host Resort - Sarasota
Enjoyed our stay, loved the tropical theme, staff was really friendly. Our stay was short and sweet, didn't make it to the pool or Tiki bar. Will definitely be back hoping for a longer stay!!

Kompose Boutique Hotel
The room was clean and some staff members were helpful. However the second floor had a strong smell (possibly mold)? Breakfast was ok. The floors in our room were not cleaned (dirty socks and feet) the day we got there. They also did not clean our room while we stayed even after we asked.

Tropical Beach Resorts
This was exactly what we expected. The apartment was spacious and well kept. It was quiet and felt safe. It’s a 5 min walk to the beach and close to a shared pool. There wasn’t an outside balcony/ patio but they provide everyone with a couple of chairs which proved great for an early morning light ...
