Perico Island hotel guide. Highgate Independent hotel in Perico Island, Bradenton

"This place is for sure not worth $270/night. We left after one hour and could not stay!"

"My husband and I loved staying at SkyBeach. It has the perfect little beach. It was never crowded. They have beach side service for food and drinks as well as providing complimentary kayaks and paddle boards. Unfortunately the main restaurant was closed during our stay (Monday and Tuesday) but the Skybar and coffee shop were enjoyable with solid food and drinks. The rooms were cute and clean with a nice balcony. Cynthia at the front desk was an absolute pleasure. We really enjoyed our stay and hope to go back next year."

"Good"

"Very clean and friendly hotel. 10/10 recommended."

"The hotel was nice. The staff was amazing! Went for a long weekend to celebrate my birthday, asked for a room upgrade and was granted with no problem. Appreciate the water bottles being provided at request. Appreciated the beach chairs and towels being provided. "

"A huge free breakfast bar in a formal dining room!!"

"Beach bar and location was awesome. Rooms were nice and staff was extremely friendly. The beach itself was beautiful and fun with was access from the hotel. Umbrellas and lounge chairs were included with the room which is great."

"My sister and I spent a long weekend at Lido Beach Resort, and it was everything we needed and more. From the moment we arrived, the staff went above and beyond—warm, welcoming, and genuinely kind. We got there around noon, and even though our room wasn’t ready yet, they took care of our luggage and invited us to start enjoying the amenities right away. And the amenities? So good. A beautiful private beach just steps from stunning pools and a lively tiki bar with amazing food and drinks—basically impossible to leave. The lobby café also deserves a shoutout for some of the best smoothies we’ve ever had. Everything about the property felt spotless and well cared for, and every staff member we encountered was friendly and attentive. The location couldn’t have been better—just a short walk to St. Armands Circle for shopping and great food (don’t skip Columbia Restaurant—it was hands down our favorite). We even walked to a nearby mangrove kayaking spot, less than a mile away, where we kayaked with Manatees 💙 I’d absolutely recommend this resort if you’re heading to the area. Already counting down until we go back! 🌴✨"

"Perfect view from our room! "
