Sarasota Hotels

A friend recommended to stay at Sarasota instead of St. Augustine, and he was absolutely right! Not only the place it's beautiful, it's so peaceful and relaxing. Since it was a last minute booking we stayed for only 3 days, if I would've known better I would've stayed at least an extra day or two. The hotel it's just perfect for a relaxing vacation. It's less than a mile from St. Armand's Circle (great stores, nice walking, delicious food), and it's located in a dead end road, great for privacy. We couldn't get a room with ocean view, but all the rooms have a balcony and you get some sort of view of the ocean regardless and it's so close to the beach that it didn't bother us at all. The staff was always courteous, kind and polite, very friendly and attentive. We only did the breakfast buffet and it was very good. The beach is just for the hotel guests what makes it not crowded at all and available 24/7. Clear water, very shallow and if you are lucky enough you will see the dolphins!!! This stayed it was only my husband and myself, but we definitely want to bring the kids, great atmosphere.

As a frequent visitor to Sarasota, my go-to hotel in the area is the Golden Host Resort. It's consistently clean, comfortable and convenient to all of my favorite places including the Ringling Museum and downtown. Checked in and found out I was upgraded to a pool side room! Great rate, pool side room and sunny Florida weather - what's not to love?

Check in was a breeze. Our room exceeded all our expectations- clean, classy, comfortable and with a small kitchen! Right on the most beautiful beach in the world. Parking was easy and the staff was more than welcoming. Will definitely return soon.

Great hotel and it's convenient to the beaches, down Sarasota/Bradenton. I recommend this hotel, very friendly staff.

Very happy with the experience, would recommend to friends! Loved the Tiki bar and pool area. Only complaint was if we didn't have a balcony, it would have been just like any other hotel room.

The hotel, which was a little confusing at the beginning, was great. After figuring out that I had to check in at the Bentley at the front near the road, I was fine. Nice poor/bar area. Breakfasts were good. Unfortunately, the hotel restaurant was closed Mon and Tue on offseason, when I was there, but can be expected. Laundry facilities were useful, and the room itself was roomy, clean, all that I needed. Recommended.

Quiet extended weekend get-a-way. Enjoyed the sun, beaches and local restaurants.

My husband was running in the Sarasota half marathon and it was nice to find that the Hotel was running a shuttle bus to take the runners to the start.

We enjoyed our stay, and definitely would love to come back again. Good food, awesome beach,

Stayed here for 4 nights on our recent trip to Sarasota. Arrived and was able to check in promptly even though there was a problem with the reservation system. Room was ready and was very bright and clean. Had lovely view over the bay. Hotel facilities were excellent - pool lovely and plenty of seating/loungers around pool. Bikes could be hired and suggested cycling routes given. Also water sports - paddle and peddle boats, kayaks etc were available. Our rate also included breakfast. There was a very good selection and it was well organised and tasty. A couple of times at breakfast we had to ask a few times for juice/coffee refills but this was a very small complaint in the grand scheme of things. Overall the staff were very helpful and we would not hesitate to return in the future.
