I reserved a gulf view one bedroom suite for my husband, college aged daughter and I after reading positive reviews. My daughter and I checked into a 10th floor tower suite on June 16, and found that the suite was cramped even for the two of us. The small living room/kitchen had a vinyl recliner and an uncomfortable loveseat/pull out... more

We just returned from a 5 night stay at the Lido Beach Resort. The Good: The location is great, close to St. Armands and right on the beach. Nice beach area and no rocks in the water, so good for wading and swimming. The pools are nice and kept very clean. The staff are friendly and ready to help. The... more

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience at the Lido Beach Resort. I am very sorry to hear not everything was to your liking. We do not allow "locals" to use our pool facilities as these facilities are strictly for our hotel guests. We do have two areas to park, a North lot, and a 7 story...

I had read such mixed reviews of this property and had stayed here in previous years with moderate results that I was reluctant to book again. My husband wanted a hotel on the beach, with a pool, and this was a known entity, so we booked. On this occasion, we were put in a one-bedroom suite in the tower, with... more

Thank you for your review and staying at the Lido Beach Resort once again. I apologize for the lack of service and quality during your breakfast experience. This is certainly not typical of our restaurant. I will be sure to share your review with Carolanne. I am sure she will be delighted you chose to recognize her. Thank you again...

This is just a great hotel. It is located directly on Lido Beach. This was our third time staying here, but first time since it became the Lido Beach Resort (formally the Radisson Lido Beach Resort). The hotel is still as wonderful as it was before. We stayed for 4 nights, May 31 – June 4. It is the perfect... more

We love Lido Beach Resort. We travel from Buffalo every year to stay. The staff is so friendly and accomodating. They treat us like family members. Great beach and pool, great location, our 4 year old and 8 year old love it and always meet friends to play with at the pool and/or beach. more

The hotel was booked through a New York agency from Denmark. Checking in, we family of 2 adults and 2 nearly adults, got a standard room at side with view to parking lot and renovating machines on the beach and beds too narrow for 2 adults. We brought a guarantee letter from Denmark for min. 2 queen beds. After heavy... more

My first visit to Sarasota Florida was during 3/09. I stayed at the Lido Beach resort for 4 days and thoroughly enjoyed myself. The staff was WONDERFUL ! Literally everyone I came in contact with (whether it was the front desk staff, housekeeping, restaurant and tiki bar employees,etc) went out of their way to make sure I enjoyed my stay... more

Thank you for taking the time to share your comments. I am sorry to hear the beach re-nourishment projected interrupted your "quiet" time. The beach re-nourishment project is now complete and I hope you have the opportunity to return and enjoy the fluffy, new sand we have been afforded. Thank you again for your review. It is very much appreciated.
