This is truly a tropical paradise. Driving up to the property, you'd never imagine what is behind the wall of palms/greenery that surrounds the resort. It's a small property (approximately 20 rooms??) but packs a HUGE punch and gives you the vibe that you're in Jamaica at an exclusive tiki resort. It is magical at night with all the twinkle lights overhead, meandering pathways, and firepits. There is an ice machine, communal washer/dryer, screened-in room for games/shade, a small BBQ area with table and chairs, covered tiki huts for shade, plenty of loungers and hammocks, two pools (one adults only), a public restroom near the main pool, yard games such as tic-tac-toe and cornhole, beach chairs for borrow, books for borrow, bikes for borrow, an outdoor shower for rinsing after the pool, on and on. We were in a Key Suite which was 450 sq ft with a full kitchen. The room looked lik it was recently renovated with updated flooring and granite countertops and had plenty of room for three adults. There was one king bed and a pull-out sofa. The bathroom is small but we made do. Isaac at the front desk was very helpful at check-in and offered recommendations and explained the property. I didn't realize how much I would LOVE this little resort. Location is perfect. You're one mile from the bridge that brings you over to Siesta Key (south side). If you go, you will know!!

I am writing this review to defend this wonderful hotel. I go there every year for my birthday which is on the first week of September. I go after LaborDay. The hotel is a wonderful bargain. It is at least $100 a night less than most of the other hotels. It is NOT a showcase hotel nor does it claim to be. If you want modern decor, large restaurants and fancy rooms this is not the place for you. If you want a hotel with real character and charm and fabulous service this is your place. We ate one night at the bar and one breakfast at the restaurant. (only bar is opened for dinner) Both times the food was delicious and ample. Our room was clean but the furniture was dated. If this is a problem, you are spending too much time in the room. Pillows were comfortable. TV and air conditioner both worked. We had hot and cold water. Each day you are given complimentary water. The staff was more than accommodating. Garage parking is available and part of the service fee. Some people said there was a smell. There is a slight smell all over the island. The beach is right in front of the bar. Towels and chaises are also part of the service fee. I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone who recognizes a great dollar value. It is quaint and relaxing and makes you feel like you have gone back in time.

Stayed briefly overnight for business in downtown Sarasota. Very nice property. Clean, modern, comfortable beds and bedding. Balcony view at night was awesome. Staff was truly exceptional. Will be bringing my family back to enjoy the resort, my stay was too short.

Just wanted to first of all thank delivering again on an amazing Westin experience - overall everything has been great; from Valet, to Service, to Room attention, the roof top bar - amazing !!! I wanted to take a special moment to commend Rose in the restaurant. Her service, her attention, her up beat attitude, taking time to be personable, handling small issues as if they're just not issues at all - she was great the days that our response team, and myself in particular, were assisted with Breakfast.

Located in the Lido Bay of Sarasota, the hotel is close to the island's shopping and leisure area and has a beautiful environment. It is about 10 minutes drive from downtown. The hotel has a private beach, because there is red algae pollution during this time, there is no sea. Before the stay, the hotel will remind you to confirm whether you want to stay. The room has a large fridge and simple kitchenware, a microwave and a dishwasher, perfect for cooking.

The hotel has ample parking, friendly staff, clean and hygienic facilities, and simple breakfast. It is less than a 20-minute drive from the beach. I will stay in the next opportunity and I highly recommend it.

Was looking specifically for property with 2 separate BR/BA and ”kitchen”. Location is right across from SRQ. The front desk staff was fantastic--so friendly with a ”can do” attitude (the staff at The Modern and Art Ovation could take lessons from these folks). Room was very spacious and comfortable. Lighting is too dim in the kitchen and needs stronger bulbs. Good refrig with automatic ice maker. Cookware must be 10 years old--at least invest in non-stick or provide steel wool pads to do dishes. Kitchen did not have a baking pan but staff found one in 5 minutes and also supplied me with aluminum foil. Very easy to cook basic meals there. Lot's of outlets to plug in electronics and work areas. Pool area furniture is filthy and old--wouldn't want to touch any of it. Needs new hairdryers. The smoke detector went off every time I dried my hair. Grill looks like it hasn't been cleaned in months so that wasn't an option. Property has complimentary basic breakfast. All in all, great team and great location. Not fancy in any way but really met our needs
