Top Shell Beach Hotel Reviews

Cirque St. Armands Beachside

10/10 Excellent

"The staff were very nice and helpful. Perfect stay for a get away. The room and property were very clean. Definitely planning on visiting again :)"

The Westin Sarasota

10/10 Excellent

"the Westin was a fantastic experience for us to celebrate our one year anniversary at. The staff catered to ever whim, the breakfast for 2 deal every day let us get a quick bite at the buffet or expand our horizons by ordering off the menu, and the property's rooftop was the best spot to start or end a day! I will definitely be recommending it to anyone and everyone planning to go to Sarasota :)"

Lido Beach Resort

10/10 Excellent

"Nice rooms right on the beautiful beach. Tiki bar, pool, everything well maintained. We had a great time."

Tropical Breeze Resort

10/10 Excellent

"Pictures r deceiving because it looks like your right on the beach but your not and that’s what I wanted still had to drive but not far. Walking distance to shops and restaurants and a grocery store. It said complimentary water which I thought would be in your room but you have to go to check in desk to get it and the ice machine is not by your place and it was broken but they gave you a bag of ice to makeup for it. My room was very nice modern and clean bed very comfortable. I thought from pictures I’d have a kitchen but I had a very small fridge."

Modern Villa steps away from the white sandy beach on upscale Lido Key, Sarasota

8/10 Good

"Overall recommend. Great accommodations. Owner was pleasant. Property location was excellent for Lido Key beach. Would recommend a bit more stuff for the kitchen like pans and a user manual for use of the stove, since it’s an induction range. Also would be good to have some more pillows for sleeping. Water kitchen doesn’t get hot, may need to be adjusted. Just some ovservations but overall the property was clean & as pictured. Thank you!!"
