really enjoyed staying there. Just have to make sure you get the Tower rooms. Garage parking on each floor is awesome for bringing groceries in to the room. 2 min. shuttle to shopping + restaurant area is great. The beach is to die for. Early morning until 9am and late afternoon from 5pm is great time to stay in the... more

This is advertised as one of the best "resorts" in Sarasota, and it IS in an ideal location, and directly on the beach, HOWEVER everything about this place is so VERY average and ordinary - the arrival / lobby / appearance, and the staff, the restaurant, the swiiming pools, the beach experience, and the rooms themselves are NOTHING special, yet... more

My husband and I had our wedding at Lido Beach Resort in Sept 2009. I don't think it could have been any more perfect. Everything was set up exactly the way we envisioned it. Lauren Thompson and Karen Roman were a delight to work with and quick to answer my many questions. Almost all of our 80 wedding guests complimented... more

They are really trying to capitalize on their location.The rooms are in dire need of updating and the bathroom, especially the shower, is really unacceptable for the price they charge. Disgusting, actually. The kitchen counter tops circa 1980 (formica!) are beat up pretty bad. We have stayed there twice, and the last time just decided it probably was not a... more

We stayed just one night in this hotel, but wish it could have been a whole lot more. It is near the St. Armand's shopping area but in a pretty laid back area. Parking is free in their garage (keeps the car out of the sun). We were greeted well upon our arrival and given a map to our room... more

My husband and I stayed here 2 different times on business- a week apart. We stayed in 2 different room types for our stays. Both were in the main building and not the towers. Our first room did not have any view (the windows faced into the courtyard and parking garage)- but the studio was of a good size and... more

We are a young couple with a 17 month old and I am 8 months pregnant. We love hotels with Modern/Minimalist-trendy style. We were there for Labor Day Weekend. Having said that, since we wanted to be on the beach so...... here goes. 1st I must say that I was impressed with Lido Beach Resort (more of a hotel feel... more

We stayed here for a few nights in early September, after doing the disney parks for a few days. The hotel had two buildings and we were in the smaller older building. Our first room overlooked the carpark with no personal balcony however the staff were very good to quickly change this for a much better room and view in... more
