8/ 10
Staff very friendly and attentive, facility very clean, food is very good. A request we made when we booked trip was not included in reservation notes so we didn't get room location we wanted, ended up with a ground floor pool view instead of mid-level Gulf view we wanted. There are many areas inside where there is no mobile calling, zero bars. Staff said it's a common issue regardless of carrier. Hopefully Management will see about adding mobile phone boosters.

    “Enjoyed the stay. I will say there was no shortage of staff. All the staff very helpful with wonderful attitudes! The beach was wonderful! Pool area clean. The pool water was warm and the hot tub not hot enough! Plenty of pool and beach chairs. Grounds are beautiful. Food on sight very good! Certainly will come again!”

    “My family and I have been coming to LBK Club for the past 35 years, and it’s our favorite place. The rooms are fantastic, clean and spacious. The staff are incredible, especially the pool & beach servers. And the views from the rooms can’t be beat. Our year would not be complete without our trip to LBK!”

  • A Beautiful Relaxing Getaway + Exceptional Service

    10/10

    francesbD419KK · Couples · 2026-08-12

    “Longboat Key Beach Club & Resort is an absolutely beautiful place to stay. The beach is stunning—powdery white sand, crystal-clear turquoise water, and breathtaking sunsets that feel like something out of a movie. The peaceful atmosphere, beautiful surroundings, and pristine beach make it the perfect place to relax, recharge, and enjoy everything Longboat Key has to offer. What really made our stay unforgettable, though, was the exceptional service we received from the resort’s incredible team. Sam, our beach attendant, was wonderful—friendly, attentive, and always ready to help. His warm and personable service made our time at the beach even more enjoyable and relaxing. We also want to give a very special thank-you to Helena, the manager, who truly went above and beyond for us. We experienced a few issues with our room during our stay, and Helena personally stepped in to make sure everything was addressed and corrected. She was incredibly responsive, caring, and determined to make things right. Her genuine concern for our experience and willingness to go the extra mile made a lasting impression. It’s the combination of the beautiful setting and people like Sam and Helena that makes Longboat Key Beach Club & Resort such a special place. We felt genuinely cared for throughout our stay, and we can’t wait to come back. Between the unbeatable beach, beautiful sunsets, and exceptional hospitality, this resort is truly a gem!”

  • A new family tradition

    10/10

    “What a special place. We have friends who go every year and now I understand. We went with our 6 year old and two sets of grandparents in a two bedroom and one bedroom suite. The rooms are so spacious and perfect for families. The beach is great for little ones, calm and clear. This is a place you come to truly relax. The staff go above and beyond to make that happen. Our little girl asked to be part of the review, so here is her take “that was like a million on a scale of 1 to 10 for vacations.” We love to travel far and wide, but we have decided this is the one resort that will be a family tradition.”

  • July Relaxation!

    10/10

    howardsav · NONE · 2026-08-09

    “2026 was a stressful year for my wife and me. We were looking for the “resort experience” as opposed to a vacation running to see one thing or another. The LBK Club delivered in spades. First class amenities, experienced, well trained staff that met our every need, and perfect facilities. Sarasota does offer lots to do. We ventured out to paddle in the mangroves, visit the aquarium, and walk Armond Circle. We are looking to make our reservation for next year now!”

  • Beautiful vacation spot and beach

  • Relax and enjoy the Resort at Longboat Key

    10/10

    angelinic · Couples · 2026-07-22

    “Great resort for golf, tennis and relaxing. Confortable and clean rooms, attentive staff and conveniently located closed to St Armand Circle. Shuttle service to all amenities in the club and the circle. When booking asks questions about open restaurants and buffets as not to be surprised once at the resort.”

  • Disappointed experience

    2/10

    jorgebarbieri · Family · 2026-07-16

    “⭐☆☆☆☆ We are extremely disappointed with our experience at The Resort at Longboat Key Club. We are a party of three and booked a one-bedroom suite at approximately $800 per night, expecting the level of service that a luxury resort should provide. To our surprise, the beach service includes only two lounge chairs, even though our reservation is for three registered guests. If the third guest wants a chair, there is an additional daily charge. Even more surprising, umbrellas are not included and must also be rented separately. When we brought this issue to the front desk, we expected at least an attempt to find a reasonable solution. Instead, the response was dismissive. The manager simply told us that the beach concession was “not their problem” and made no effort to assist or advocate for hotel guests. At this price point, charging extra for basic beach amenities for a registered guest is already disappointing. What is truly unacceptable is the complete lack of customer care and accountability when a guest raises a legitimate concern. Luxury is not just about the room—it’s about how guests are treated. Unfortunately, our first day at this resort left us feeling undervalued and unwelcome. Unless management changes both its policies and its attitude toward guest service, I would have a hard time recommending this property.”

  • Wonderful Stay

    dianamV8071ST · Couples · 2026-07-15

    “My husband and I had an exceptional stay at this resort. The resort is beautiful with a gorgeous beach. The service was outstanding from the moment we arrived. Every staff member from front desk to beach attendants were warm and very attentive, always going the extra mile to make sure we had everything we needed. Our room, 3605, was very spacious and spotless. With stunning Gulf views. Nice amenities overall. The food at Latitudes and beach service was delicious. The resort is not a cheap but it doesn’t rip you off either. A special Thanks for making my birthday so memorable. I was surprised when I was surprised with balloons, a bottle of Prosecco and some goodies in our room, this added an extra special touch to our stay. , We highly recommend The Resort at Longboat Key and can’t wait to return.”

    “Our stay has been absolutely amazing! Great resort, great food, and especially great staff, specifically Paula and Michael. They have both gone above and beyond to make us feel welcome and were both very friendly and super nice to talk to during our stay. They always made sure we were taken care of and had everything we needed. I would also like to mention that every person that has brought us room service has also been super pleasant. We do not have a single complaint about this resort. The location and everything was perfect. We will definitely be back! It will be a memorable honeymoon for sure :)”
