Top Big Cat Habitat and Gulf Coast Sanctuary Hotel Reviews

Magnolia Pointe, BW Signature Collection

10/10 Excellent

"The front staff was wonderful as well as the room. The only issue I have is with the breakfast being served. Powdered eggs are understandable but tacos and sausage for breakfast? The bacon that was served did not look like any bacon I have ever had. It was tiny and shriveled up. Terrible. If the hotel is going to serve breakfast then at least make it edible. Really disappointed in the food served. Food service needs immediate review by the manager. I stayed at Magnolia a number of times over the years and had real bacon and eggs served. Not the garbage which was presented this trip. I noticed the staff in the kitchen had time to have a bull session. Their time should be spent presenting descent food instead. Or do not serve any at all."

Ameniti Bay, BW Signature Collection

10/10 Excellent

"We recently stayed for 2 nights at Amenity Bay BW Collection Hotel during our vacation to Siesta Key Beach, and it exceeded all our expectations! 10/10 in all aspects. Location – The hotel is perfectly located with easy access to several restaurants and shops nearby. Siesta Key Beach is just a short 15-minute drive away, which made our beach trips incredibly convenient. Cleanliness – Everything was spotless - from the lobby to the rooms. The property is very well maintained and takes cleanliness seriously. Property Condition & Amenities – The hotel looks brand new with a modern and stylish design. The lobby, in particular, feels upscale and gives the impression of a high-end hotel. Amenities were excellent, including a free ice vending machine, pool. Our room was spacious, the beds were cozy, and we appreciated the additional sofa seating. Having a mini fridge and microwave made our stay even more convenient. Breakfast – The complimentary buffet breakfast was outstanding with a wide variety of options including breads, bagels, fresh pancakes, cereals, oatmeal, chicken & pork sausages, scrambled eggs, fresh cut fruits, whole fruits, yogurt, and multiple juice options. A fantastic way to start the day! Overall, this hotel offers exceptional value, comfort, and service at the price we paid. We were truly impressed and would absolutely recommend Amenity Bay BW Collection Hotel to anyone visiting Sarasota or Siesta Key Beach."

Homewood Suites by Hilton Sarasota Lakewood Ranch

10/10 Excellent

"I absolutely loved it! Everything was spotless, modern, and brand new. The hotel is surrounded by beautiful shopping and dining options, including a gorgeous new mall and several excellent restaurants such as Ford’s Garage, The Cheesecake Factory, Brio, Rocco’s Tacos & Tequila Bar, Blue Cuisine, and many more. The breakfast was very complete with plenty of options, and the pool was perfect for relaxing. The entire area feels vibrant, upscale, and convenient. I would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it!"

EVEN Hotel Sarasota-Lakewood Ranch by IHG

6/10 Okay

"We stayed here for five nights for a sports tournament. The location was great, parking was easy, and most of the staff were friendly and helpful. Although the stay itself wasn’t terrible, we felt the overall value didn't match the price. The hotel felt more like a glorified Holiday Inn Express, but without the complimentary breakfast, and at significantly higher rates. The restaurant also seemed overpriced and was mostly empty; throughout our stay, I saw only a few families dining there. The value just didn’t match the price. There were also some issues during our stay. One morning, there was a noticeable sewage smell due to backed-up water. It was Memorial Day weekend, so I understand it was busy, but there were constantly no towels available at the pool. We had to ask the front desk multiple times and were repeatedly told there were no clean towels available. There was only one waiter/bartender on Memorial Day, and a new employee at that. The bar was almost full, and there was one family eating, so the one employee was running back and forth. There was no microwave in the room, which is an inconvenience when staying longer than a night or two. Overall, it wasn’t a horrible experience, but for the price, I expected much more. I wouldn’t choose to stay here again because it just didn’t feel like it was worth the cost."
