The location was perfect. Centrally located, making trips north and south along the key easy. We were able to quickly go to Sarasota or Ana Maria. The private beach was great. It would have been better without the uncharges for umbrellas and additional lounge chairs. Only 2 lounge chairs per room when a room holds 4 people. Restaurant service was slow, we had breakfast the first morning which was just ok. All other meals were out on the island. Some very good options. Try, Whitney’s, Dry Dock Grill or the Sage Biscuit. All were good. The front office, housekeeping and valet/ bell staff were friendly and helpful.

Staff and property was very nice. only one dislike: We were booked in room 205. To access the elevator to get to our room we had to travel through the outside concession/bar area by the pool. So you rolled your luggage right through this area which felt funny rolling right by people eating or drinking. Better route would have been inside away from outside area. Everything else was very nice.

Everything was nice but service at the bar was terrible had 2 bartenders there and they like look at you dont ask what you want. I had to ask how do i ask for service here because i was lost. The rooms are ok and the beach access. The restaurant shoudnt even be opened the service was the worst i ever had. Food was not good for the price. I have been to alot of wonderful places . The restaurant ruined our whole experience. We ordered a wine bottle and it took over 30 minute's to come our appetizers had come before the bottle. Dont get the pasta dishses. Fettuicine Alfredo came with like a spoon full of Alfredo sauce and the meat pasta taste like can spaghettis. Worst restaurant i ever been to

If you’re looking for paradise without the chaos, Zota Beach Resort on Longboat Key is it. Longboat Key itself is a gem – stunning, peaceful, and blissfully free of the crowds you’ll find at other Florida beaches. The water is so clear it looks like something out of the Caribbean, and the beach is breathtakingly beautiful. The resort matches its surroundings perfectly. The staff went above and beyond to make our stay enjoyable – friendly, helpful, and genuinely welcoming. From the moment we arrived to the day we reluctantly left, everything was flawless. If you want a relaxing escape with amazing views, clear water, and exceptional service, this is the place. We can’t wait to come back!

The property location is perfect. The staff is not friendly or helpful in any way. The front desk- you will have to wait 15 min or longer to ask a question, even if you are the only person in the lobby. The restaurant, no one is there eating and several staff standing around talking but will not acknowledge customers. The pool area is always trashed with food, trash, wet towels. There is staff standing around talking but no one cleaning up the area. The beach is nice and the folks that work on the beach do a nice job with the chairs and equipment. Next time we will look into other resorts.
