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

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

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
