Coquina has a great location on the beach with a heated pool but the rooms have become a desgrace! My wife and I went there for 17 seasons during the winter and stayed in the Patio Building and on one occasion there appeared a "Rat" living in the wall of the building gaining entrance behind the stove. Since our last... more

Management response from
Thomas Quigley, General Manager

On behalf of the entire Coquina staff, we would like to extend our thanks to all of our guests who take the time to reflect upon their experiences at our hotel after their stay. I am extremely disappointed to hear when a guest has had an unpleasant stay and has decided not to return. In my history as this resort’s...

We chose this motel despite reading some negative reviews on tripadvisor and I am very glad we did. The staff were very friendly from the moment we made our initial enquiries. The room was fine. To me it felt a lot like a family vacation home - not the bland, plastic feel of a hotel chain but a place by... more

Let me preface this by saying that I have stayed at the Coquina at least once a year every year since 1967. This is a 33 unit two story motel directly on beautiful Lido Beach. The rooms are dated but clean. The pool area is handy and surounded by palm trees. The pool is heated and cleaned daily by an... more

We arrived Sunday March 29 and were there 7 nights. We had to change rooms with 2 nights to go and we thought our original room needed updating...Our new room, nothing seemed to work. Please don't get me wrong, great Hotel just needs some renovations, even minor ones would help. The stoves are from the 60's and the mattresses must... more

We just returned from a 5 day stay at Coquina at the beach. What a gem this place is. The hotel consists of kitchenettes just north of Lido beach. The Hotel sits on a sandy, shell filled coastline overlooking the Gulf of Mexico. We stayed in the beachview building. You have to stay in this building to make it worth... more

We stayed at the Coquina on the Beach in mid-December, so it was very slow and quiet, which is what we wanted. We were able to get a good deal on the room, $139, which was listed as $189 for a King 1 bedroom with kitchen. After the first night, they were able to move us to the last room... more

Stayed at this motel with my husband for 8 nights over week of 4th July. Our first choice on Siesta Key was fully booked so we decided to give Lido Key a try. We stayed in a 1st floor studio (2nd floor if you are American) in the poolside building and we were happy with our room. It was a... more
