Très bon hotel situé à sarsota sur le golfe du mexique. Proche de tout tout en étant au calme. Les repas sont assez chers et les parasols payants. Sinon le reste et ok. On a été upgradé dans une chambre avec vue sur mer. Le personnel est très gentil. Service wasserette pour trois fois rien

convenient location, friendly staff, affordable meals, great shopping and restaurants about a mile away --- and the beach just a few steps away -- great affordable vacation location - we would go back in a heartbeat.

Room was fine and facing the gulf, however wife & I are over 66 a d the was no elevator. That was ruff on us for 3 days. If you wanted to sit on the beach it cost you for the chair & umbrella. Any activity out in the water & beach it cost you as well a microwave cost yo $10.00 per night.

The staff was very friendly and accomodating. The hotel is right on Lido beach with beautiful scenery everywhere. There is an outside mall within minutes of the hotel with a wide variety of shops and eateries. I highly recommend the Helmsley Sandcastle and will be returning myself.

Perfect location, just next to luxury Ritz Carlton, so value for money. Ok quite simple rooms snd average breakfast, but it is the outdoor area nice beach nice pool pool bar that makes it an overall nice place. Cleaning everyday nice and tidy. We got upgraded to face the pool area which was nice.

The hotel location was perfect. The rooms were clean and the restaurants were good value for the price. The pools were warm and clean. The beach was steps from your rooms. The staff was friendly and helpful. Nice town. Would go back again.

We did not know anything about the hotel until we arrived. It was one of the greatest vacation experiences we (wife and I) ever had. The staff was so kind and helpful you felt like you were at home, or even better than home. The pools and the fact that the beautiful beach was so close at hand made us feel like we were in a tropical paradise. The food  in the restaurant was excellent and so convenient. You really do not have to leave the hotel to have a great vacation. Located in beautiful Lido Beach it is a one stop vacation. We never wanted to leave.

Stayed at this hotel as a last minute stay, as there were little choices at the time. It was satisfactory, but not outstanding. As other have said it is very out dated, but there is nothing wrong with it. Just old. And for the price you can't really complain. It was nice to walk straight from the room to the beach, and the location was a plus. We would  stay again...if there were no other newer choices.
