    This property is a great value for money. The staff and service is top notch. I also really enjoyed the breakfast at the hotel. Very courteous and friendly staff. Altogether a great stay. Will come again!

    Service was great I love the option for valet really quick to get your car.

    The resort is very clean and well situated. The pool is somewhat small for the amount of guests and very cloudy. The biggest issue is the scheme about the cost of beach chairs/umbrella. While two chairs are advertised as “complimentary” - an umbrella is NOT. No one could sit out in the hot Florida sun without an umbrella and the resort won’t allow you to use your own, so you’re forced to pay $45 per day for an umbrella. In essence the chairs are not free. Well played Zota. It’s petty for an upscale resort property.

    Worst of all when we approached front desk the manager was awful. She said if we didn’t want that room she was going to cancel out 2 month old reservation even though we were there for Father’s Day weekend. Her name was Caitlyn Clark, apologies if I misspell the name.

    I’m never comeback!

    Initial greeting wasn’t as one would expect - poor taste in communication/use of words but a better educated receptionist assured me they’d do better next time

    Pool was out of commission for some reason. Was told it would be 1-1.5 hours and the entire day went by and was closed. So that was a bummer. First time here and not sure if I would come back or recommend anyone just on personal experience. Hopefully it was just our luck.

    The restaurant food and wine very good ordered alacart. Buffet Ok on Sat. Pool and beach areas are excellent. No problem finding a lounge location around the pool or at the beautiful beach ( just steps to the beach and gulf water). Umbrella beach service Ok. Lounges come with room. The umbrellas are extra. We had two very good service days. On one day the beach umbrella guys were on their phone and forgetful. Nice clean towels and pool side bar and food service available. Easy daily shuttle service to St. Armand’s shopping area. Very relaxing stay. Comfortable and safe.

    Great location, beautiful beach and pool and great service.

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    Amazing staff and the food was excellent. The resort fee covered a lot of extras that were very useful, along with Valet parking. A little bit pricey for the hotel room, but we felt it was well worth it and had an excellent vacation.!

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    The staff was outstanding throughout our entire stay—friendly, attentive, and always willing to help. The housekeeping team was especially impressive. They cleaned our room each morning and even made an additional round in the afternoon to check if we needed fresh towels, amenities, or anything else. That level of service really stood out and made our stay even more comfortable. We also loved dining at Viento Restaurant. The food was genuinely delicious from breakfast through dinner. Every meal was fresh, flavorful, and exceeded our expectations. The resort itself is beautiful, well-maintained, and very family-friendly. Traveling with kids can sometimes be challenging, but Zota Beach Resort made it easy and enjoyable for our whole family. Overall, we had a fantastic experience and would definitely stay here again. Highly recommended for families, couples, or anyone looking for a relaxing beach getaway! 🌴☀️🏖️

    We did eat breakfast with family at the restaurant outside. We loved sitting and enjoying time together. It was hard to get a seat not very accommodating… The comfort of bed was wonderful. Slept very well. Would stay there again.

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    Fantastic! Five star hotel right on longboat key beach. Staff was great and food was delicious!

    El Zota Beach Resort es un hotel maravilloso, el trato de todo el personal es excelente , la limpieza inmaculada quizás la única cosa no positiva es que no disponen para el uso cuando se contrata con Expedía de ningún Plan que considere al contratarlo, un crédito para los servicios de restaurante ni bar - cafetería o una inclusión de desayunos y alguna cantidad de cenas.
