Lido Islander, Sarasota

You can not beat the price for the location. You are able to go to the beach and still have money in your pocket to enjoy yourself at the wonderful shops at St. Armands

The rooms were clean and nice. The room was more like an apartment than a hotel. The price was right when you factor in the great location

This is a cool little place, it is in a great location. Not a big hotel more or a mom and pop type of place.

From the reviews I've read anyone who stayed in a one or two bedroom suite, they were satisfied, but those who got the one room facility as we did were appalled that they had to pay what they did. The bed was comfortable enough, and linens were clean- towels still being washed so I had to get them myself, but that is where the comfort ended. The room was too small for the furniture pushed into it; no air conditioning or heat that I could see; in the closet was a bar frig, which had a microwave sitting on top of that, and a tiny coffee maker on top of that, all plugged into an extension cord. A fire waiting to happen. Coffee filters were provided, but no coffee packs to make coffee with. No extras like shampoo, and I had to do a search for bar soap to find some cleverly hidden away in the medicine cabinet. Windows haven't seen cleansing in years. We never did see management, nor the pool, and for the money we spent, we left as soon as we could the next morning sickened that we dropped so much on so little a room. In comparison, we had a one-bedroom suite in Clearwater with all the amenities, beautiful pool, free laundry and fitness room, in immaculate condition, for half the price. Never will we return to Lido Vacation Rentals!

Quaint. Doesn't really look much but the apartments and location more than make up for this. Armand Circle and glorious beach. What more do you want?
