we stayed here for one night following the excellent reviews on here. The location is amazing right on the beach. Pool is also lovely. Unfortunately what let this hotel down was the shabby room. We had a top floor pool/ sea view. While the view was lovely the room needs a makeover. Very spacious but a bit grubby. Worst thing... More

First, let me reassure the owner that this will be an overall positive review, in fact excellent. We enjoyed our stay here very much, and will certainly return. This is a place that I highly recommend. Yes, it's a tad shabby-chic, but what a terrific location and value! Ok, that said, I am bothered by the fact that the establishment... More

I stayed here for a couple days based on some great reviews on tripadvisor. One reviewer said that they needed an update, but I thought that they were just being picky because all the other reviews were great. However, there was a lot wrong with this hotel. Here's some examples, one of the burners on the stove was out, the... More

I read many of the reviews before booking and was a bit nervous as to what awaited with this particular hotel/motel. I had booked this due to my office having our Christmas party nearby at Marina Jacks, didn't want to drive the hour or so home after having a few drinks, and wanted to bring our dog along so we...

A really great little place. Rooms were very large and very clean. Only steps to beach and pool. Shaded buildings with picnic tables right on beach is a nice touch. Pool has sun and shade which is nice. We were there in August so it was blazing hot but we never felt uncomfortable with the provided amentities. Office staff is... More

This place was the best place on Lido Beach. Amy and Shannon were so helpful in giving us a deal we could not pass up. The room (215) was terrific (except the door was a little shabby looking!) and had a super view. We could not believe how big the balcony was. And the beach was beautiful! It was so... More

We have been coming to Coquina since 1988 and have enjoyed over 30 vacations at this idealic spot on Lido Key. So if you are looking for a relaxed, informal beach holiday with efficiency and where pets are welcome, Coquina is the place for you! We strongly recommend it. Sue & Nigel Bull, UK More
