Lido Beach Resort - Sarasota

Just got back from another wonderful girls trip to the Lido Beach resort! We have been going there for years, always having a great time, but this year they exceeded all our expectations! The renovations to the hotel are beautiful, the entire staff can’t do enough for you, along with a great tiki bar and of course beautiful Lido Beach. Whether eating at the hotel or going to St. Armand Circle shopping or dining, it was an amazing trip! Looking so forward to returning in the future!

I have waited to write this review but felt others should be aware so the same experience doesn't happen to them. First, I am local to the area and have done MANY staycations at Lido Beach Resort. It used to be wonderful and never a complaint. I'm afraid under the management now, that is not the same and should be avoided. I booked a room to celebrate my mother's birthday and brought my two children along. We had a suite. After a day enjoying the pool and beach, we went to our room and found it was hot and 85 degrees. Through the messaging app I alerted maintenance which came and said the problem was fixed after 20 minutes of working on it. We went to dinner and upon our return, it was still 85 degrees. I went to the front desk to request a new room of similar size. The front desk manager was rude, unfriendly and argumentative that the ac was in fact repaired. By this time it was after 8pm and my two children needed to be sleeping. The manager said they had no availability to move us. I again mentioned our need for air conditioning while sleeping and she said there was nothing she could do. I was forced to check out at nearly 9pm. The manager released me from the reservation without penalty as if she was doing bme a favor. Bad experience and terrible birthday celebration for my mother. Adding injury to insult, the hotel charged me for the room anyway. I contacted them via phone and email with zero response. My only recourse was to dispute the charge with my credit card company. Thankfully i had a receipt which i requested showing the release of reservation. Despite all of this, the hotel still fought my credit card company. If it weren't bad enough, for the hotel to do this shows how little customer service they have. I would avoid this hotel at all costs. Sarasota has grown and has PLENTY OF OPTIONS....BOOK ANYTHING ELSE BUT HERE!!!

El hotel en primera línea de playa, recientemente renovado, habitaciones amplias y cómodas, con kitchenette lo cual es un plus. Piscina para adultos y niños, servicio de playa, y bar con muy rica comida. Destaco el restaurant en el 8vo piso, excelente comida, ambiente y servicio. La atención dedicada de Ariela y Fernando en recepción, amables y atentos al mínimo detalle

Fantastic resort. I had the best vacation here. The room exceeded my expectations. I had a king one bedroom in the Palm Tower Beach Front. It had a balcony and overlooked the pools and the ocean. When I went to the beach, they set up a beach umbrella for me. It was part if the toes in the sand package. I will definitely stay here again.
