About Lido Beach Resort

Lido Beach Resort is a coastal chic retreat where Gulf horizons meet effortless hospitality; a private slice of powder white shoreline on Lido Key sets the tone for unhurried days and vivid sunsets. Contemporary accommodations span island inspired guest rooms and condo style suites; many offer full kitchens and private balconies for an at home rhythm by the sea. Two distinct buildings shape the stay; the Tiki Building delivers classic beachfront rooms with exterior entries while the Palm Building rises with premium rooms and studio style suites that feature kitchens and balconies for easy indoor outdoor living. Families find thoughtful touches like bunk bed family rooms and spacious multi bedroom suites; couples and groups gravitate to wide water views and soothing spaces. Days unfold between two heated pools including a serene adults only haven and a lively lower deck with the beloved tiki bar; the 300 foot beach is just steps away for sunrise walks and shell dotted strolls. When appetites call Drift Kitchen and Bar crowns the eighth floor with 180 degree Gulf views and fresh coastal fare; in room dining brings favorites home to your balcony at sunset. Beyond the beach a fitness center keeps routines on track while a complimentary shuttle links you to the boutiques and dining of St Armands Circle; downtown arts and aquariums are minutes away for culture filled interludes. Events and celebrations are at home here too with 6000 square feet of flexible venues including an elevated space with skyline and shore views. Dog friendly policies welcome well mannered pups; accessible features across common areas the beach and pools help every guest find their place in the sun. This is your secluded Gulf front escape; relaxed; refined; and wonderfully Sarasota.

    super bien localizado .

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    En la ducha de mi habitación solo habia agua caliente, en los pasillos del hotel habia agua en los pisos, la misma salía de los aires acondicionados de las habitaciones, habia total oscuridad en los pasillos por la noche, y ese tipo de cosas no deberian suceder ni en hoteles de menos categoría que este, piensen bien antes de invertir su tiempo y dinero aca, realmente no lo recomiendo.

    Best place I've ever stayed at!

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    Was a very nice resort with friendly staff - beach and pool were great, although the pool could have better music :)

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    Check in was very easy. Room was clean and a/c easy to work. Nice using the umbrella and lounge chairs on the beach.

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    The beach is absolutely beautiful, and we loved the pool area as well. The snacks were delicious, and I have to mention the restaurant Drift —it was amazing! The breakfast, dinner, and everything we tried was absolutely delicious. We loved it and will definitely be back! ❤️

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    The property and workers were wonderful. The only issue was the service at the restaurant ‘the Drift’. The service was awful. The manager was unable to even comp a coffee after the terrible service. Poor service. Sadly, I did not eat upstairs anymore after the experience.

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    The food was excellent and the staff went out of their way to make you comfortable

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    At night the hallways are unlit and it's too dark to walk around. There were two cockroaches in the bathroom, and the doors and walls needed more cleaning.

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    This is a recently rehabbed “motel” that has transformed itself into a high-end beachfront resort in a very nice part of Sarasota. The restaurant on the eighth floor of the new tower is outstanding, and has spectacular views up and down the Gulf Coast. Highly recommended.

    What an absolutely lovely place! The hotel was great, facilities were spot on and the staff were all so helpful and friendly and could not do enough for you to make the stay enjoyable

    My sister and I stayed at Lido beach early August ‘26 for a getaway from kids and sports. It was the perfect choice. The room we shared was clean, stocked daily, freshened daily, and even down to chocolates on the pillow, a toiletry kit, and coffee condiment kit. Seriously didn’t need a thing the whole time. You get dry towels any time you want. Lounge chairs on the beach or pool side. They even have some noodles and boogie boards for travelers to use in the pool or ocean. The adult-only pool was perfect although there were definitely young teens in that area (with their parents). The beach was phenomenal. We did wish the sand was sand only and not all crushed up shells but it didn’t matter. We found tons of varieties of shells, dozens of sand dollars, and saw a manatee swimming alongside beach goers! It was a delight and we would for sure go back again. The shuttle to St Armand’s was easy and quick - never had to wait more than literally 3 minutes. But the hotel is so close, you can walk too. Love the wristbands that work as a keycard to your room and the parking areas. The staff were so friendly and helpful, all spoke good enough English to answer all questions without hesitation. We loved it! A+ !

    very clean, staff excellent service, we love the hotel

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    Muy buen trabajo

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    Rooms are very clean. The only issue was the pool that it should be more clean. They should clean the pool every day. The bottom of the pool was dirty.
