Sarasota/Bradenton, Sarasota

Virgin rating

The hotel

Nestled on the white-sand beaches of Florida’s stunning Gulf Coast, this delightful 410 acre resort-style hotel is full of relaxing features to make your holiday one to remember. You may find yourself unable to do anything but soak up the sunshine on one of the comfy loungers beside the beautiful Gulf-side swimming pool. Or you may prefer to take your relaxation to a whole new level by visiting The Spa and enjoying a treatment or massage. Either way, you’ll instantly forget about normal day-to-day life, while keen golfers will be in seventh heaven lowering their handicaps at one of the 2 challenging courses. And with 20 Har-Tru tennis courts, tennis enthusiasts are served up stirring sets of excitement daily.

Alex at the beach club was amazing. He was extremely attentive and made our stay the BEST experience! He got our beach towels everyday and set up our cabana with ice cold waters. His staff catered to our every need and I will definitely be coming back!

Alex at the beach club was absolutely amazing! He gave us the utmost undivided attention and had exceptional service. He checked in on often, had our chairs already set up when we got down to the beach, brought us cold waters wrapped in a cold towel to keep them cold, and was overall great! Definitely will be back!!
