The Meadows hotel guide. Best Western hotel in The Meadows, Sarasota

"Property was a step back in time. Old Florida, before all the glitz. Beautiful gronds around the large pool. The oldest tiki bar in Fl did not disappoint. Will stay again."

"We LOVE compass margaritaville! The staff is amazing and so helpful. its so convenient having a bar and restaurant in the hotel!"

"Me gustó el hotel, pero necesitan arreglar la puerta por que estaba dificil de abrir. Todo lo demas bueno. Lo recomiendo 👍"

"Loved how clean and quiet the property was. Everyone was very welcoming and the nightly cookies were so soft and our favorite dessert. So many options for complimentary breakfast."

"Was an excellent experience at the hotel nice and clean room and great staff specially at the front door the receptionist Emily was amazing very kind!!"

"Very nice place-room layout was kind of weird with a slider that only covered the shower or the toilet, sink was in the main sleeping area. Were told housekeeping would only come if requested, we just requested fresh towels and they did not bring exchange them, we had to go ask for clean towels. Staff were friendly."

"BEWARE! The pictures you see of the beach are not what you get. We were there for four days and two of them, the seaweed was a foot high, hot and smelly and went into the water so you couldn’t just step over it. I told the front desk, they said I was the first person to mention it (I find that VERY hard to believe) and the next day it was still there. I literally paid for the amenity to walk to the beach (like the one they had pictured) and we couldn’t even stand to be down there for two of the four days. We could have stayed somewhere inland for a cheaper price. I feel like we got ripped off totally. I tried contacting the manager twice and it’s been a week and he hasn’t returned my calls. There are plenty of other places to stay. Shop around."

"Overall, a great experience ! We will be back for sure ."

"Clean well kept rooms and property. Close to the beach. Very good food. Seems like a way more relaxing place to stay than the sister property Lido Key Beach Resort. Close walk to restaurants and shops. Nice staff."
