We're originally from Sarasota and our favorite getaway is LBR. We've lived in Tennessee for five years now but visit family in Bradenton/Sarasota at least once a year. We always manage to stay at least one night at LBR while we're in town. It's our own tradition that we truly enjoy. Thank you for exceptional service and accommodations. We will... More

Good: Friendly, efficient check-in. Parking was easy. Our room was in the "old" building - on the end right by the swimming pools. Room was big - kitchen (with range, microwave, large fridge and dishwasher), king size bed, two closets, large clothes dresser, two comfy recliners and a patio with a view of the pool. There was also a room... More

If I had paid half the rate I would not have been disappointed but we went for the beach facing suite and, whilst the room was fine (once I got over the shock of plastic coated recliner armchairs) the general hotel facilities, food etc were below what I was expecting. We came from the Sandpearl Resort in Clearwater which is... More

We chose the Lido beach Resort for our daughters wedding because of its fine reputation but most of all because she wanted to be married non the beach. Well you can't get a better beach location than this! Right? Except if a WICKED storm comes charging across the Gulf and slams the beach and all the best laid plans! Fortunately... More

The Lido is located right on the Gulf and it's private beach is perfect to watch the sun set. I was quoted a much lower rate than what they gave me at the front desk so check your bill/charges. They cheerfully gave me the quoted rate, but when I checked out, the higher rate was on my bill. Again, they... More

This was my first time staying at the Lido Beach Resort, and I look forward to returning in the future. The location is excellent and we enjoyed the convenience of the complimentary shuttle. The pool was well-maintained and my kids definitely got their use out of it! Above all, however, our trip would not have been the same without the... More

This is our 3rd visit to Lido Beach Resort. Our first was in January of 2011, had a fantastic time and loved the free upgrade to the South Tower Beachfront King Jr. Suite!

Our room did not live up to our expectations of what the booking agent described. After speaking with manager we were very pleased with our treatment and resolution of the issue. The customer service was awesome and we will stay here again. Rare to find such kind treatment these days!

We wanted a quick get away vacation over the school break and wanted a hotel that was on the beach and offered services that were all inclusive. We were very pleased with the accommodations. Although we were very disappointed in their false advertising about breakfast being included each day, the location and hotel rooms were good. Our suite looked right... More
