Beautiful area and beach

Liked: Wonderful location, convenient transportation to local shops& restaurants. Very friendly staff at front desk, cleaning & restaurant staff at Drift. The actual hotel room was older in appearance and the elevator was very very small.

Superb

We had a great time!

Liked: Everything! This was my husband’s maiden voyage and he loved it. The restaurants, tiki bar and convenience of shuttle to the St Armand’s circle.
Disliked: There was nothing we didn’t like about our stay.

Liked: I wish this had been our first choice and it will be from now on! It’s worth every penny! Great room, staff, food, and amazing beach access!

It was relaxing, family-friendly, and...

Liked: Lido Beach Resort checked all of our boxes for the perfect family beach vacation! We loved how family-friendly and accessible everything was. All food we had was delicious, the room met our needs, the pool was great entertainment for the kids, and every staff member we encountered was exceptionally kind and helpful. We also still felt very close to additional fun places to visit such as St. Armands Circle, Mote Aquarium, and other attractions in the Sarasota area.
Disliked: I wouldn't say this was a thing we "didn't like" so much as an opportunity to be more helpful to guests moving forward. We were not made aware prior to our first time using the pool that there was a policy (whether actually written or not) that families could basically stake out lounge chairs with towels and leave them for extended periods of time before actually using them. We sat on ones that looked unused (no personal belongings) and then the pool staff politely asked us to move. We are generally rule followers so would have appreciated the rule being communicated better either at check-in or through signage!
