10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful property. Well maintained. Nice hot tub and pool. Helpful staff."

Coral Pointe Sarasota, an Ascend Collection Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Very nice hotel, very clean the break fast was good and amenities were nice"

Kompose Boutique Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"All of the staff at the Kompose Hotel in Sarasota were extremely FRIENDLY and HELPFUL. I loved this hotel so much, I just had to extend my stay by 6 more nights. And I would like to give a staff member named Julio a special, thank you for being so helpful when it came to me, extending my stay at this amazing hotel. The property was extremely CLEAN and MODERN with a very CONVENIENT LOCATION. I am a little saddened how early they close the hot tub & pool. (9pm) is a little too early in my opinion, but other than that, this is a 5 star hotel."
