Nice and quiet place by the sea, with big yard and pool. Friendly staff, good breakfast. Rooms a bit worn out. Some problems with air con... but what else is new. Not many visitors in early May, must be much nicer in summer when you can really enjoy the beach. Far away from everything – hence the peacefulness. But banning... more

Nice place -- I spent three nights there. Good location for business if you're going back and forth between the Tampa Bay area and Sarasota County, as I was. The property affords pretty surroundings -- though you wouldn't want to swim in the water there. Services were okay -- standard Holiday Inn fare, with pleasant people but flaws on the... more

Thanks for the nice review. We appreciate guest's comments as it gives us an opportunity to improve. The private beach is seasonal but the hotel has two great pools to swim in. Our overall customer service rates in the 90th percentile. We hope to achieve 100% and thank you for pointing out areas we can improve. We look forward to...

The property is not new, but the rooms were clean. The staff really made our stay the most pleasant - from the Front Desk staff at the time we checked in, the attentive restaurant staff, the bartender - who made sure we felt included, and even the security staff made their friendly presence known. The hotel has a lush landscape,... more

Thank you, thank you, thank you! You made us blush! It is so rewarding to hear great comments like this. The entire staff works very hard to make each and every stay an enjoyable experience. Your right, the tropical beauty of this resort is second to none. Did we say thank you?

A very quiet and peaceful hotel. The pool was clean and warm ,we were the only ones using it in the evenings so very enjoyable. The room was large enough for us ,a family of four, and kept very clean by the staff. Yes it is a bit dated but this does not detract from the overall service which you... more

Very nice resort. Our room was large and clean, the bed okay but a bit small. The wireless internet connection worked without a problem. We enjoyed a great bayside view and the nice lawn outside our room. Another plus: the jacuzzi. The outdoor bar was closed, as we visited during the off-season. The location is good, quiet, but close to... more

Thank you for your comments. We are very happy to hear that your stay was enjoyable! The bayside view is indeed excellent, especially at night when the bridge is light up. We make sure the resort surroundings are well kept; after all, it is one of our greatest amenities! Great landscaping creates a relaxing setting. Come back soon!

We spent two nights at the Sunspree marina cove-and guess either the hotel has been taken over or some people really do expect way to much for the money they pay !!!! I was able to get up and swim from 7am in the heated pool-needed after a flight from the UK the previous day. All staff helpfull, rooms clean... more

Lot’s of mixed reviews regarding this hotel. (Some of them made me thankful that my wife is who she is) We wanted to sail to a hotel in one day, allow us to enjoy a king size bed while the kids enjoyed their “kid time” (Kid = 20-30YO) on board the boat. We wanted a pool, clean room, a hot... more

I really want to thank you for you comments. As a boater myself, (45’ Morgan) I think this is an idea location. We have cruised from the Keys to Annapolis, MD but I have never found a hotel that is convenient like our Holiday Inn SunSpree. Being in the water that long period of time, you kind of want a...

We want to thank you for your nice comments. We are happy to see that we meet your expectations in service & location. I have to agree, the swimming pool is beautiful! It is definitely the most favorite place for most of our guest’s. Our beach is seasonal but it is still great for sunbathing year round. We are a...

Went for a long weekend with other family members - we booked three rooms. The place is quite old and shows it. The "beach" area I wouldn't let my dog swim at, let alone my grandchildren - it was filthy, I didn't even want the children playing in the sand. The pools were the only redeeming feature - very nice... more

DO NOT waste your money on this hotel......there is not a ocean view, it is a view of the stinky bay, and yes i said stinky. The smell was so bad it almost made me sick to my stomach. There was so much seaweed on the beach that we went to a near-by beach. The only thing good I have... more

We are sure sorry! What you experienced was Red Tide. Unfortunately, no one can predict when it will develop or where it will go. In my 18 year history, we have only had this happen 2 times. We sure hope that the Marine Biologist can figure this thing out as it has affected all of Florida coastline at some time...
