The location was perfect. Centrally located, making trips north and south along the key easy. We were able to quickly go to Sarasota or Ana Maria. The private beach was great. It would have been better without the uncharges for umbrellas and additional lounge chairs. Only 2 lounge chairs per room when a room holds 4 people. Restaurant service was slow, we had breakfast the first morning which was just ok. All other meals were out on the island. Some very good options. Try, Whitney’s, Dry Dock Grill or the Sage Biscuit. All were good. The front office, housekeeping and valet/ bell staff were friendly and helpful.

"Beautiful sunset views at Zota Beach Resort!"

10.0

My husband and I celebrated our anniversary at Longboat Key and loved it! We stayed in the Opal Tower with a Beachfront view and we were very happy with our stay. Our room was very nice, clean and modern looking. The bathroom was also nice. We loved our large balcony which gave us the most beautiful views of Longboat Key. The sunrise and sunset views were spectacular! The grounds were equally beautiful and kept clean. The infinity pool was also clean and we did not find it to be too crowded. We loved that the beach was a quick walk from our room and we never had a problem getting chairs or towels. My one complaint is that they charge you to rent an umbrella daily. In my opinion it should be included in the resort fee. If you are going to include chairs in the resort fee, then I feel the umbrella should be included also. We had breakfast daily at Viento Kitchen & Bar and we found the food to be good and loved the view we had while we ate. We also ate lunch pool side at Cascades Pool Bar a few times and were happy with the food but did find the service to be slow at times. We loved Longboat Key in general as it was not too crowded and did not seem over populated with hotels. You definitely need a car to go to restaurants. One of the restaurants we really enjoyed with a view was Dry Dock Waterfront. We had our anniversary dinner at Riva at the St. Regis. The food was good and menu limited and pricey but the views at this hotel were beautiful! Zota is also a 15 minute drive to St. Armands Circle where you can find restaurants, small boutiques, galleries and specialty shops. Overall we really enjoyed our stay at Longboat Key and loved our relaxing stay at the Zota Beach Resort. We look forward to coming back in the future.

playa limpia y las habitaciones muy comodas, la comida bastante aceptable

la atencion de los muchachos en la playa no era muy buena, excepto el ultimo dia que atendia una peronas mayor el jueves 31 de julio, pero los dias anteriores eran muy jovenes sin ganas de trabajar
