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.

Zota resort if a nice place but Hotels.com lied.
Hotels.com listed a price to the hotel but neglected to say there were resort fees and other fees that made this stay very unaffordable. The resort is very nice but Hotels.com misrepresented the price and cost of the stay.

The hotel was clean, amenities were nice and most of the staff were very friendly. A few things we had issue with were the mandatory valet. Maybe I missed this in the property details but we would prefer to self park especially in a place where you cannot walk to anything. if you’re looking for a place where you can walk to dining and shopping this is not the place for you. The area is beautiful but the beaches and resorts are totally separate. You need transportation to get around. We ate breakfast at the resort once and it was very good. Our other meals were off site. Another thing we had issue with was the ongoing renovations. We had to walk around furniture in the halls and wet paint. We were confused as to why we would have a room in the middle of all that. The guys who manned the beach chair rentals were awesome, and the valet staff attentive despite us not wanting to valet. Overall a nice place but just a weird vibe.

400 plus a night and was worth it!
Check in was a bit bumpy because there was a line, and they gave me a room that was in the old building. But they were able to rectify it and gave me a room in the new building. The overall customer service was great. It was clean, there is a big pool and seconds walk to the beach. The cabana was sold out so we had to rush out early the next day to buy one. Overall, an amazing stay and I would do it again!

Need to take allergies serious.
Room was nice. Bathroom had a chip in the wall which looked gross. The food at the pool was labeled Gluteb free, but I did get sick from the fries. I don’t think they handled the cross contamination well. Other than that everything was ok.
