All in all, the Longboat Key Club is a very good beach resort, with everything that you need for an enjoyable and relaxing stay. What is a bit shocking in the beginning is the architecture of the buildings, but once you got used to that, there is not much to complain. We had a kind of junior suite with cooking... More

Sometimes it's painfully obvious when there's been an ownership / management change, this is one of those times. We've been coming here for years and the change is obvious...for the worse. Let me start by saying that this resort is beautiful so there's only so much they can mess up but what they could mess up, they did. It seems... More

Dear EaglesfaninfL: Your review states you stayed in June 2012, which was 5 months prior to the property changing ownership. Nonetheless, It’s disappointing to hear of your experience. I believe that our associates are transitioning well to the new ownership/management and that if you read our recent reviews you will see that trend. I expect our service levels to be... More

Having enough of chilly New England we decided to fly down to Sarasota for sunshine, white sandy beach and tennis...and we had it all in spades. The main campus includes 4 multi story buildings that are designed with the typical exterior cat walk. Building four offers the quietest location as it does not overlook the pool. Even though the architecture... More

Had another fantastic stay. We've been coming back for the past 7 years. Never disappoints. When you book through Amex resorts program you get lots of great add ons including breakfast and spa credits and late checkout. Staff has been the same for years so they must be doing something right! Building 4 is the quietest and our favorite. Upgrading... More

This was a wonderful resort for 6 girl friends to meet to celebrate our year of turning 50! It is a beautiful setting. We had a 2 bedroom suite overlooking the lagoon and it was very spacious, and so much fun seeing all of the wild life- we saw lots of birds, fish, and even a manatee. We had a... More

On April 28th we had our second visit to the Key ,courtesy of our son and daughter-in-law . It is just a naturally beautiful setting . The resort is beautifully done with wonderful amenities . Yet due to a friendly yet very professional staff there is a casual , comfortable ambiance . That says it all .
