Beautiful location. Bad service

We have been going to Zota since 2019. The service has changed a lot . The staff is not friendly like they used to. There was construction going on next door! And it wasn’t mention when I made the reservation. Felt we were treated differently than other guests! For example when I went for breakfast I was sat away from everyone else in the corner where the fan wasn’t even working. When there was other tables available.

This was our second stay at this hotel, and it was amazing! The atmosphere is perfect for relaxation, which is exactly what we were looking for. While it would be nice to have a few more amenities for kids, everything else was wonderful. The staff is incredibly friendly, and the restaurant offers great food. We can't wait to return!

Clean ocean front hotel on Longboat Key.

This hotel was clean. The balcony looked over the pool and you could see some ocean view too. The rooms were a little outdated but functional. The location was perfect. Beachfront and chairs and towels were provided. Umbrellas were available for a fee. We have a great time at Zota. The only issue that could be improved on was the size of the bathroom. There is a grocery store (Publix) close by. Shopping and food at St. Amanda was about a 15 min. Drive.

Property was clean, dining wasn’t that good and staff at dinning weren’t friendly, food took forever. Not much to do besides pool and beach. At 9 pm everything is close and there’s nothing else to do than going to sleep . Hotel should have even at the pool or music or movies night or something. Only valet parking, staff hit my car mirror.

Disliked: Amenities

My daughters and I stayed here for 3 nights while we were in town for a regatta in Sarasota late May. Initially I was pretty annoyed bc I booked through Expedia which means the hotel gave us a ground floor room facing the parking. I know this is to be expected when booking through Expedia but I would never have found this hotel had it not been for Expedia. It ended up being fine because we were close to this exit door and had easy access to walking directly out to the beach or pool. The service at the pool was great. The valet was great. The pool restaurant closes a little too early in my opinion. Another thing to know - the hotel charges you a resort fee which includes two chairs. Not an umbrella. If you want an umbrella to go with those chairs they charge you $35. I was charged this at 3pm on our day of arrival when we just wanted to sit on the beach for a little bit. They start collecting the chairs at 5pm. Chair and umbrella quality and beach service were lacking for the quality of this resort.
