Sarasota/Bradenton, Sarasota

Star rating

The hotel

Nestled on the white-sand beaches of Florida’s stunning Gulf Coast, this delightful 410 acre resort-style hotel is full of relaxing features to make your holiday one to remember. You may find yourself unable to do anything but soak up the sunshine on one of the comfy loungers beside the beautiful Gulf-side swimming pool. Or you may prefer to take your relaxation to a whole new level by visiting The Spa and enjoying a treatment or massage. Either way, you’ll instantly forget about normal day-to-day life, while keen golfers will be in seventh heaven lowering their handicaps at one of the 2 challenging courses. And with 20 Har-Tru tennis courts, tennis enthusiasts are served up stirring sets of excitement daily.

Longboat Key Beach Club & Resort is a slice of paradise. The beach is absolutely stunning—powdery white sand, crystal-clear turquoise water, and breathtaking sunsets that feel like something out of a movie. It’s peaceful, clean, and the perfect place to truly relax and unwind. What really made our stay unforgettable, though, were the incredible bartenders, Kristen and Zachary. They are the heart and soul of the resort’s hospitality—so friendly, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. Kristen has the best recommendations and always remembers your drink with a smile, and Zachary brings such great energy and conversation to the bar. They make you feel like a regular, even if it’s your first time. We can’t wait to come back. Between the unbeatable beach and the amazing service from people like Kristen and Zachary, this place is a true gem. Read less

The service was excellent. The people that work here are extremely friendly and helpful. They also stay in communications with you through text if you need anything and they get it immediately. A really great place to stay.

We had a wonderful weekend at Longboat Key Club!! The accommodations were beautiful, the location and beach are stunning but the following people who work there made it the most wonderful stay! Ania was our server at the pool both days and she couldn’t have been more pleasant!! She was so congenial and went way out of her way to make my birthday weekend the best!! She was just awesome and we hope to see her again as we are making reservations for our entire family for Thanksgiving!! Paula was also so nice and helpful at the pool! Dean, one of the porters who greeted us at the front door helped my family surprise me for my birthday!! He went way beyond being a great employee- he made the beginning of our weekend!! Yadier helped us with checkout and was so informative with information about what I should do to make our next visit just as wonderful!! Highly recommend this resort to anyone looking for a relaxing time in a beautiful place!#LongboatKeyClub #MyOpalMoment Read less

I have taken my family here for over 15 years and it never disappoints. The beach is beautiful and the resort is also beautiful. St. Armand circle is a wonderful hub of shopping and restaurants. After the last hurricane the people of Long Boat Key rebuilt and are open for business! Wonderful people !

I stayed with my family this past June for Father's Day at The Resort Longboat Key Club. What a great experience we had as a family! Starting from the front desk management's accommodating us, our room was perfect and very spacious. We enjoyed the beach view and pool from our balcony. We had a superb stay and enjoyed the amenities. My husband and son had a fantastic time playing golf together. Special thanks to the entire staff, from the bellman Dean, Miguel, Dane, and Angelo to the servers at Latitude, Nicole and Banyan, Paula and Anastasia. Also, the new pool attendant who started the job and the beach attendant who just got promoted to be a manager in that area—they all did an excellent job! We also had a delightful dinner at the Tavern restaurant, and everything was exquisite! We are still savoring and feeling the prime vibes! We will be back as we discovered a Treasure in the pristine West Coast of Florida! Read less
