Top The Lakes Hotel Reviews

Kompose Boutique Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The rooms and entire hotel was spotless; staff was excellent and the breakfast was plentiful and good"

Embassy Suites by Hilton Sarasota, FL

8/10 Good

"The parking situation at $40 is a bit excessive when the Hotel also has a $28.00 amenity fee or whatever it is referred to by Hilton at that location. Staff could have been more customer service oriented. Nice Hotel for sure and we would like to mention that our Shuttle Bus Driver and the Housekeeping Staff were extremely friendly and helpful."

Cirque St. Armands Beachside

10/10 Excellent

"Best time ever. A new hotel with a great vibe, attention to detail & a welcoming, engaging professional staff. Front desk check in was quick and very informative..with a complimentary signature Prosecco to start the evening. The restaurant on site, Ringside, is 5 Stars .. excellent food, relaxing ambiance and our server Danilo was attentive and made it a delightful dinner experience. Highly recommend. Everything was Exceptional!"

Tropical Beach Resorts

10/10 Excellent

"The grounds were well kept, check-in was an ease on the staff was very pleasant and professional. Our room was very clean well equipped with everything we needed. Super quick walk to the beach in the pool area was really nice. Great location of any options for public transportation, which may getting around and ease without the need to rent a vehicle. We would definitely stay here again."

Spark by Hilton Sarasota Siesta Key Gateway

8/10 Good

"If I had known hot tub was not working, I would have not booked or stayed there. Chose this property because after a very long driving day, i just needed that soak! Speaking of soaking.... there are ZERO directions how to turn water on your goofy showers...so no water for me this stay, at all!"
