Sarasota, Gulf Coast Beaches

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.

A great location at a very nice beach. Some of the nicest and most efficient restaurant and beach staff you’ll find. Possibly the best housekeeping service we have ever experienced anywhere.

Being a multigenerational group of family and friends attending a wedding, we found the kitchen equipment to be bare basics. There were only six place settings and no frypan which wasn’t ideal when there were multiple children staying. Be aware that nothing is complimentary despite the high price, but overall a beautiful, sprawling property and a… Read more

This was my 4th time staying here in the past year as we have a child at a local college. Every time we came back it was strictly for the location on the beach. The rooms are average, the service is well below average and they nickel and dime you for EVERYTHING. I'd rather they charge me more per night than constantly insulting us at every turn. To spend over $1000/night and then get charged $30 for an umbrella is ridiculous. The service at the restaurant by the lobby was terrible. Completely ignored most of the night. Our food order at the beach had only half of the items. 20 min before the waitress came around, we told her about the food missing and it took another 30 minutes to get it. We went to the pool at 4pm and the person setting up the chairs wouldn't set ours up cause she was "in clean up mode" because her shift was over at 5. Just not worth it. You can spend almost the same money and stay at The Ritz Carlton nearby with exceptional service. Read less

We were invited to an event here in April 2026. The room was beautiful with a view of the gulf and long white beach. The food was very good and the poolside service was excellent. I would return here again and again.
