Ramada by Wyndham Sarasota Waterfront

Ramada by Wyndham Sarasota Waterfront

10/10 Excellent
"Waterfront room view was perfect. 💯 Siomaris & Lisbeth - Reception, were phenomenal! Leidy - Housekeeping, awesome! Francis & Randy - Maintenance, beautiful people! Emily - Bartender, was perfect! Kim, Linda(?) & one other bartender need customer service training, imo. All 3 were challenging in their demeanor. The only other downside was the uncovered smoking areas. Non-smoking was covered, smoking was NOT, which is important because it rains almost daily in Sarasota. Oh, the breakfast spread was great!"

8/10 Good
"Rooms were immaculate and newly renovated, care taken for providing all the 4 star hotel extras in terms of rooms. Pool was well heated, handicap accessible, with chair lift for pool as well as permanent specialized outdoor seating for sunbathing. Tiki huts and seating galore for able bodied. Fun outdoor Tiki bar that the locals frequent that adds to the great ambience. Close to shopping and beaches."

Lido Beach Resort

Lido Beach Resort

8/10 Good
"The staff, location and amenities are excellent. If you stay here get a room that’s facing the ocean or the courtyard. Our room was facing the parking lot and was on the first level. I felt it was a little over priced given its location in resort."
