Top Hotels Near Sarasota BayWalk in Sarasota from NZ$230

"Spending Christmas at Lido Beach Resort in Sarasota was a gift from my husband. We had a lovely and relaxing stay. In the little village of Saint Armand, there were plenty of restaurants and shops open even during the Christmas holiday. The dining in the hotel itself was exceptional. The food was hot, fast, and delicious in spite of the incredible crowds. I do recommend making reservations if you have a particular time that you want to eat if you are there during a busy time. We ended up sitting at the bar, which worked out well for us. There was a full service tiki bar at the pool area, which was open till 8 PM every evening while we were there. You could get food there as well as a bistro in the lobby. There were two beautiful, clean pools, one for adults and one for families. The adult pool had two hot spas. The pool and beachside staff were attentive and helpful. Carefully read the resort fee features. We reserved a chair which was included, but no one mentioned that the umbrella was not included and we were charged $15/day for them. Unfortunately, we booked one of the last available rooms, which was listed as a “standard” view. It was overlooking the air-conditioning units on the roof. Looking over the top of the building, we could see the bay, but since we were on the backside of the building, we could not see the beach. However, everything else about our stay was wonderful and we didn’t spend any time in the room anyway! It was just a beautiful time altogether! "

"Caitlyn came to our table last night and spent about 25 minutes with us, sharing her story about how she became a team member at The Ritz-Carlton. Even while taking the time to connect with us, she was still seamlessly managing the entire restaurant; truly impressive to watch. I don’t know where you found her, but you need about seven more like her across your properties. She’s far beyond first class; she’s in a league of her own. She truly elevated our evening and made our visit unforgettable. We will absolutely be back because of her. Kimberly is an absolute standout; truly extraordinary. Her smile and laugh are so infectious that if you’re having a bad day, she’ll instantly turn it around. Whoever had the insight to place her at the front of the house is a genius, because her caring and loving nature shines through in every interaction. Her personal touch has a way of soothing even the most stressed guest and makes everyone feel genuinely welcome. "

"Our family of 16 spent Thanksgiving week at this beautiful beach house, and it was absolutely perfect for our group. The home was exactly as pictured—spacious, clean, and thoughtfully designed—and truly did not disappoint.The game room and pool area were huge highlights, giving everyone plenty to do and enjoy without ever feeling crowded. The location was ideal as well, just a short distance to St. Armands Circle, where we found great dining, shopping, and entertainment.The host was incredibly attentive throughout our stay, quick to respond and genuinely committed to making sure we had everything we needed.Overall, this house was everything we hoped for and more. We couldn’t have asked for a better place to celebrate Thanksgiving together, and we would absolutely stay here again!"
