Top South Sarasota Hotel Reviews

Compass Hotel by Margaritaville Anna Maria Sound

10/10 Excellent

"This is our second time at Compass Margaritaville at Anna Maria Island, and our whole family is eager to return. The service is impeccable, and the breakfast is varied and hot. The location is ideal; you only have to drive a few minutes to reach the sand. We hope to return very soon."

Embassy Suites by Hilton Sarasota, FL

8/10 Good

"Staff that we encountered were all nice. Took away a star for two reasons: the elevators and the countless fees (which all downtown properties have....I just think they are dumb). There are 3 elevators for an 18 story hotel. And they go from the lobby....through all parking levels.....and up to each floor. We waited forever for these things. It became super annoying and I was over it quickly. The great things were the omelet bar, the bartender was excellent (so personable) and they had N/A Beer which we appreciated very much. It was nice to park in an attached garage but $40 a night? Not sure about that. Beds were comfortable. Not so great? The frosted glass barn door on the toilet and shower room. The toilet and shower being in the same room. The mini fridge had no freezer. Very small. Bay view is exactly as pictured. We could see water, but not close. It was ok. If you like downtown hospitals and are accustomed to the fees, etc. it was nice."

Carlisle Inn

10/10 Excellent

"The energy is amazing. Everyone is so pleasant and courteous. The price seems too good to be true. The breakfast had lots of offerings but not very high quality. There is a separate restaurant on site which looks like it would be better from what I’ve seen when I checked it out. Definitely will be coming back next time I’m in the area."

Zota Beach Resort

10/10 Excellent

"Great stay at a beautiful, quiet spot! We had a wonderful experience at Zota Beach Resort. The location is absolutely beautiful and incredibly quiet, making it the perfect place to truly unwind away from the crowds. The facility itself is modern, clean, and very well-maintained, but the real highlight was the staff—everyone we encountered was exceptionally friendly, welcoming, and hard-working throughout our entire stay. As a bonus, the resort is in a great spot with some fantastic local places to eat just a short distance away. Highly recommend for a relaxing beach getaway!"
