We were there when they were finishing the beach project. When we questioned the front desk about it, Patrick offered to move us to another room where we didn't look out on that side of the beach. He was very helpful and accommodating. We were impressed with his good service. more

My husband and I just got back from our trip to Lido Beach Resort. We decided to take a long weekend for our anniversary. We had read good things about the resort, so we decided to book it. Per the Lido Beach Resort website, their normal rates for a King room are about $260/night however we were able to book... more

We just stayed at the Lido Beach Resort and booked the resort because of it's fabalous location, beachfront and walking distance to St. Armands. Overall the resort is OK it does need some TLC, touch up painting, green pond, water stain on my sheets. However, more importantly the resort is lacking SERVICE! We attempted to order drinks and dine outside... more

Upon arrival at another hotel in the area, we were advised our confirmed, prepaid room was not available due to a computer glitch that caused the hotel to be overbooked. That hotel had contacted this resort & obtained a room for myself and the three ladies traveling with me. The plan at that time was to spend the first night... more

The good news is... more

Location The hotel is very close to the Sarasota airport, which is great if you don't want to rent a car (it would be nice if the hotel offered an airport shuttle, but they don't). Our taxi fare was only $23/$20 (without tip) to and from the airport if you are considering not renting a car. The walk to St.... more

Made reservation on March 6, 2009. Upon check-in on March 8th, we rec'd a letter describing the Lido Beach Renourishment project, which rendered the resort's beach unusable. Since the project was no secret, I would have expected that common courtesty might have dictated that we be advised, in advance of our arrival, that the beach may not be accessible. The... more

I knew it was time to write my review when it snowed 8 inches last night...My sister and I just spent 3 weeks at the Lido Beach Hotel, and can't say enough about the facility, the view and especially the staff. Everyone was so eager to take care of any need...Tim Hunter, the Manager,went out of his way to make... more
