note I'd submitted a review under email of "tomorrow" but nothing has appeared & no message sent to my email I'm resubmitting under my actual name the following rewritten review. The two of us stayed two nights in early August. It was too short a time. We’re Brits who return to Florida each year even though our kids have grown... more

First of all, I must say, anywhere you stay in Sarasota, FL is going to be nice. The Lido Beach Resort is nice but it is expensive. The average price of a room is about $300 per night and this does not include anything. Drinks are pretty expensive as well. For my wife and I to get 2 drinks (1... more

We also are counting the days until our return to this wonderful idylic hotel in a beautiful setting on Florida's famous gulf coast. From our arrival, we were treated with the best customer service I have probably ever experienced. From the polite and helpful reception girl to the knowledgable and interesting concierge and the shuttle to the town centre on... more

We stayed at the Lido Beach "Resort" this past weekend for a wedding. Let's just say it is NOT a resort. In fact, I would hesitate to classify it as a hotel. Our room was on the first floor in an older wing. From the hallway going into the room, it looked like a motel. To be fair, there appeared... more

My family and I stayed at the Lido Beach Resort from Aug. 1st - 3rd, 2008. We were in Room 339, in the 4-story building. Tbe Good: Location is superb, directly on the beachfront. The pool area is lovely, and staff at the hotel were all very helpful and friendly. The room was tastefully decorated, and although we did not... more

I can assure you, the issue you mentioned will be addressed immediately. I am hopeful you will allow us another opportunity in the future to...

We (two math teachers) stayed here as we had a 3-day workshop in Sarasota. We stayed in the four-story part of the hotel. When we walked out, we could see the ocean from our door, but the ocean is just steps away from the hotel, so who really needs a view from the room? The hotel was very clean with... more

Thank you so much for your detailed review of the Lido Beach Resort. I am glad to hear how you enjoyed the hotel. I did want to let you know, due to our liquor licensing, we are required to close our TIki Bar at 8pm, but we do offer two other bar alternatives in Cafe Lido and the Lido Beach...

I am sitting here in England, reading the wonderful reviews and am getting quite emotional!! My husband and I have now stayed at this wonderful Hotel for the past 4 years and we are coming back again in November (this is when we usually stay). I cannot praise the hotel/staff/facilities/room maids/ pool team/attention to detail enough - it is a... more

I recently stayed at the Lido Beach Resort with a friend for a little girl time. We grew up together near Boston but she now lives with her husband and children in St. Pete. We went on-line to find a place that was on the beach for a nice little get away and got just that. All week all we... more
