The Resort at Longboat Key Club

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.

We felt very welcomed by staff and guests who are clearly used to families staying on property. The pool and beach were beautiful and wait staff was available on a moments notice to deliver drinks/food poolside and at the beach. Rooms are renovated from older pictures shown on TA and we felt the theming to be a perfect nautical theme. We will be returning! Read less

The staff was so welcoming and went above and beyond to help us with every detail or accommodation of our stay. There was always someone there to serve us and greet us with a huge smile. The cleaning staff was timely and thorough in refreshing our entire suite daily if wanted. The ride from tampa airport was smooth. The whole property was well maintained and serene as well as quiet. The price was over compensated by the constant refreshing of our room and staff waiting on our hand to foot. I enjoyed the cleanliness and comfortable temperature of the hotel as well as having someone available for any question I had at the hand of a text or call. They ensured I arrived and left safely and timely. We didn’t leave wanting anything. We used the hot tub constantly as well as the pool , pool bar , restaurants and beach service. Thank you so much Longboat Key Resort!! Love you guys!👍🏼👍🏼🍹😍😍🐬❤️❤️🐠🐠🏄‍♂️🌊🌊 Read less

We’ve been visiting this resort for seven years now. It always delivers and is a wonderful stay. This year when I walked in, I just kept saying “this place is perfect, and I love it.”
