Zota Beach Resort

First Timers,

Pros:
1) Absolutely beautiful resort
with beach front rooms.
2) Restaurants service on time and delicious food.
3) Rooms and housekeeping were top notch.
4) need something ask then you will see them in your room in no time. Even late evenings.
5) Private beach access.
6) pool area super nice with hot tub.
7) Valet parking guys are beyond awesome.

Cons:
1) No water-sports close by. Have to drive to siesta key 20 to 30 minutes away. Longboat key doesn’t permit water-sports.
2) not a much of restaurants close-by. Again have to drive.
3) beach chairs are taken away after 5pm.
4) Front desk not so accommodating. Had old lady she was nice. But the young lady was kind of rude. Not inviting at all. Didn’t feel like asking something if needed. Google around to find stuff.

Loved staying here at this hotel for my birthday weekend/Memorial Day weekend. We booked a premium ocean view room at the newer Opal building (built in 2017). The ocean view room has a view to the pool and the beach. If you want a full-blown oceanfront, you need to get a Ocean front room. Next door was construction but I didn't hear any noises. The service was wonderful. Dan the Concierge was amazing. He was so helpful. He even helped my husband plan a birthday surprise for me and he had a scented candle from the hotel as a gift for me. The service was great at breakfast and dinner. The pool was very nice with games for kids. There is a direct access to the beach. 2 beach chair are included in your hotel stay and you can rent an umbrella for $20.

We just returned from a 3 day vacation at Zota Beach resort! We had a great time and this hotel was top notch. Very convenient with valet parking, staff was very friendly each time we left or arrived back with our vehicle. The room was spacious and very modern, comfortable bed, & spacious patio. Beach access was convenient and we enjoyed having complimentary beach chairs with our room, very nice pool & hot tub area. The on sight restaurant was pricey but food was very worth it, our waitress was very friendly. Bar has some delicious house drinks, also a friendly bartender that is very attentive. We had a great experience and will definitely be returning for future vacations. The room was on the pricey side but overall very worth it for the experience and location!
