    Spire Elite Member here and this was recommended within the IHG app when I was searching the area. We had two rooms booked but to our surprise were on opposite sides of the hotel for some reason. Ok so here's the meat of the issue I had. We showed up and checked in ( no issue there ) the room looked super clean and tidy. The shower is massive But u need to stand in a certain location to utilize its tiny shower head ( strange imo ) but I guess it works. The worst part of my stay was the absolutely horrible bed. It's like laying on the floor hard. I literally was only able to lay down for 20 minutes before I couldn't take it anymore and spent the entire night sleeping in the dang chair. For $230 for the night I would really hope to enjoy the bed but that isn't the case here. That mistake won't happen again trust me. We utilized the bar last night and the food was decent for where we were. The bartender was friendly as well. Location A+ Parking A+ Cleanliness A++ Bed pretty solid F- Dinner & Bar A- Check in process A++

    This hotel was a breath of fresh air despite our horrible covid year. BEAUTIFUL room CLEAN CLEAN CLEAN. Lots of color and design. PLANK FLOORS, loved this.will never love carpet in a hotel. Had a slight problem at beginning but Gabriel was right on it and maintenance was right on it as well next day. Very cool courtyard with a hot dipping pool and cool dipping pool. Very inviting and cozy. It's summer so pricing was affordable. Probably could never afford during season. Thanks to the wonderful staff Gabriel was fun to talk with. Thanks for the umbrella loan. Scott and oh lord I am forgetting "Angela's" name both really helpful and kind. Thank you a Hotel Indigo. Your location, charm and appeal are perfect.

    The "pool" area?

    I don't know, we've stayed at the Jacksonville Indigo...can't say they're much different. Therein I believe is the "rub" for us. Staff is helpful, accommodating and speaks the Queens English. It's the layers that bug me. For instance, who doesn't check the bed? We flopped down on the attractively pillowed and clean bed only to find it felt like one of those Big Lots $99 beds. BUT beside the bed was note saying essentially they would provide a mattress topper and even throw in eye mask or a white noise machine upon request...YES, we request! Next we found a wad of human hair lying smack dab in the middle of an end table! We debated, someone said Hyatt! and we both nodded...picked it up and flushed. Ewwww is all I can say. At the end of the day, it's a mixed bag but for $200 a night I'd EXPECT a pillow top mattress and maybe balding staff!

    Loved this hotel. Seemed pretty new, and just a few blocks from the cute little downtown area and farmer's market. The room was clean and the bed was comfortable. Shower was huge and open. Parking was not included, but only $10/day. The fitness center was decent and the pool/hot tub area was interesting - two little rectangles. Good spot if you want to be close to downtown and close to beaches, but at a decent hotel! Staff were all friendly too - I stepped out of the elevator with the luggage cart and someone walked up to wheel it away for me, and another time asked if I was looking for something (I was - the fitness center). They also have a filtered water station in the lobby. Would definitely stay here again in Sarasota.

    Bathroom was clean, spacious and beautiful

    Let me start by staying, I like nice people. When I checked in, I was checked-in by Esther, and she was SO nice. She explained everything about the hotel, and I saw her a couple times during my stay - each time she was so friendly and I appreciate that. The exterior, front and back, of this hotel is beautiful. And, the lobby is amazing (I forgot to take pics of the lobby). On to my review. It is a VERY rare day when I am willing to spend over $200.00 a night on a hotel room (I'm a cheap-but-clean-hotel kind of a girl); but, I had my reasons for staying here. First, I have always wanted to stay in an Indigo (I love their "green" policy). Second, I was attending a concert at the Van Wezel Concert Hall and it was literally steps from the hotel (just cross US-41, super-convenient). I decided I would spring for this hotel. I was NOT disappointed. The location is wonderful. Just a couple blocks (4 maybe) away is the charming downtown area of Sarasota. If you are attending something at the Opera House (a few blocks away) or the Van Wezel (directly across the street), you are within walking distance. A gorgeous bay view is right across the street. The parking for the hotel is $10 a day, but worth it. There are several spaces right outside the front door, and there is a garage right there too. $10 for any downtown location isn't bad (I prefer free, but that's just me). My room had 2 queens; the beds were very comfortable, clean and luxurious. There is no carpeting (YAY!), it's all tiled flooring (LOVE that!). There are 2 area rugs, by the entrance and by the beds. The room was spacious, and I loved the décor. The furnishings are very nice, white and bright. There's a desk, a spacious armoire, a chest that holds the TV, and a work desk. There is also a comfy chair to sit in. In the foyer, there's a little table to hold a coffee pot and a carafe of water that you can get from a filtered water station in the lobby. The bathroom is beyond description; I loved it. VERY big shower with glass walls and a wooden bench in it. The bathroom was spotless, as was the rest of the room. They provide high-end products from Aveda in the bathroom. There was no frig or microwave, but there is a safe in the room (I didn't use it). I LOVE it that there was a little recycle bin my suite. I try and pick hotels that are eco-friendly, so that is very much appreciated by me. Also, the filtered water station in the lobby - that's SO much better to fill up your water bottle and not have to keep using more plastic water bottles. In my suite, there were also 2 coffee mugs so when I made coffee, I didn't have to use throw-away cups. There is no free breakfast (unless your rate specifically states there is). There's a full-service restaurant and bar in the lobby. There is a breakfast buffet, but I think it was around $15 - not sure. I would never spend $15 on breakfast, so I walked less than a block to the Toasted Mango and had a fantastic breakfast (go out of the hotel to the right, walk left on US-41 and you are there). Like I said, I was hesitant to pay so much for a hotel room. But, this is a boutique hotel that was fantastic, AND, it was the expensive season (January, 2018) to be visiting Sarasota. Also, for a downtown location such as this, the rate really wasn't all that bad. I will say that the hotel is definitely worth the pricetag. If I had to complain about one thing, it would be the acoustics of the hotel. When you get off the elevator, there is a sign that says "Quiet Zone" - I liked that! However, I was in room 225 and at midnight, the room next door was playing music loud - and I could hear it through the walls. I did NOT call and complain about it; but, I'm sure if I had, the hotel would have asked them to turn it down (it didn't go on for too long). Then, at 8:30 a.m., housekeeping or some other hotel staff was doing something in the room across the hall and they were talking loud outside my door - I could hear it through the door. I was already up, but for a late sleeper, it would have been annoying. If other guests (and hotel staff) would be respectful of the "Quiet Zone", that wouldn't have been an issue. Despite that one thing, I would most definitely stay here again, in fact, I am looking forward to it!

    Are the beaches far from the hotel? Could you ride your bike there or have to get transportation?

    Lido beach around 2 miles but you need to go over ringling bridge. If your a good biker used to hills not a big deal. Good bike lane or sidewalks. Pretty easy overall to get there. Also SCAT buses with bike racks go there so you can bus over bridge…

The dinner last call was until 9:45pm which was awesome because we had just came back from Anna Marie Island which worked up an appetite. We ordered crab cakes for appetizers but I think due to it being so late the gentleman forgot the order which was fine so we ordered a Peach Margarita which was quite well but just request for lite ice. The shrimp was large and decorated on the top of the linguine noodles. Now it does a red pepper flakes all through it even though it's not mentioned on the menu. The noodles could have been cooked a little tad more but it was delicious through it all. The waiter was very busy but still took time to come and check on us from time to time.

The hotel itself is overpriced in my opinion. There are "destination" fees of $28/ day but you can use it as a credit in their restaurant. Make sure you use it because you will be charged either way. Pet fee was $75, my pup loved the room and going on walks nearby but there wasn't a designated pet relief area which would've been nice for night time . However the area is extremely walkable. Parking was about $40 / night I think but we parked on the street for free. Breakfast is included and their buffet is decent. Be sure to get your omelette made to order by Rayna. Also, make sure you don't miss their nightly reception hour with two free drinks and light snacks. The rooms are large and are your typical embassy suite with kitchenette area and living room. Beds were super comfy and the shower was nice and hot. All of the staff was very friendly and super accommodating. I wish the pool was heated or they had a hot tub because it is absolutely gorgeous but too cold during my stay. All in all, a great choice for the area! I would definitely stay again but I would be sure to price around because there are quite a few hotels in the area.

It's fun to watch the different boats who dock in this canal go in and out. Kyle at the front desk was very nice, explained everything we needed to know about using our day pass, and got us on our way. There is a free shuttle from the hotel to the beach that's also included with the day pass, which was a nice benefit. There are towels located right before you go out to the pool area. A guest who was staying here also said you can fish right off the canal and go out on kayaks and paddle boards. The food and beverages were decent enough, and not ridiculously overpriced. The pool was a little chilly, but felt great when I needed a quick dip. Would consider staying here on vacation instead of just getting a day pass.

Yes, you can find fancier places with more amenities, but Limetree delivers what is important for a safe family friendly gulf beach experience. Read on to learn why...... Staff: office, maintenance and housekeeping staff were exceptional. They were always welcoming and helpful while their workspaces were totally professional - organized, neat and tidy. Facility: Rental condos were exactly as described, stocked as promised and clean. FYI - Visitors in one unit (No 120) reportedly experienced a consistent humming from electrical systems adjacent. Also, the Internet was disrupted by the storm temporarily, but electricity and air conditioning were reliably constant. Washer/dryer units are available for no charge! During our stay, Hurricane Debby passed by, leaving about 17 inches of rain in one day with very gusty winds. Through the weather was dramatic, we never felt in danger. The building felt solid. Whew! We used the community gas grills, the shared PC, bought postcards, and generally enjoyed the same experience we've had over the years. Plenty of parking is available, and the activity center was refreshed where we played ping pong and reviewd books in the lending library. Site: The beach was substantially augmented with crushed shell/sand. It held up to the storm surge like nothing ever happened. Spectacular sunsets were a treat. We saw dolphins, pelicans, gulls, lots of wading birds including a rosette spoonbill! Entertainment: We loved the Tuesday evening one woman band. Beautiful versatile voice and musician - she had the kids, and some adults, up dancing at sunset. A magical treat! Value: For a family friendly, safe, clean on-the-beach experience- it was amazing! In summary - for the experience controlled/managed by the Limetree, the overall rating is a solid 5 (best). It's what we've come to expect after many years of visits. We hope they continue for our future generations. However - there were some non-controllable factors that downgraded our visitor experience. 1) Temporarily, construction noise from a new development. Swiveling tower cranes, clanging metal, banging, truck traffic immediately adjacent to the Limetree on the north side occurs during the day. We experienced noise from about 7:00 AM to 3:00 PM. This was not a surprise because Limetree staff informed us of the work. Yet we were grateful to be on the south side of the facility - a little further away. 2) Other people: We were surprised to hear late night (after closing) loud pool parties on several evenings. They stopped before midnight but still it was not expected. We were also disappointed to see people pitch camp (umbrellas, chairs, etc.) between our rented cabanas and the beach - which obstructed our water view. Apparently, there is a public beach strip between Limetree property and the waterline available to anyone. Thus, Limetree could not force them to move, yet, we are used to a Limetree community of kindness - not competition. Thus, the atmosphere at times seemed less friendly this trip. Like the uncontrollable weather, I don't allow these external issues affect the Limetree rating. We'll be back.

He learned a great deal & was advised to get certified as a volunteer but it was a 6 week course that due to the fact we lived & worked in Illinois & came to Florida for 2 weeks in June was not an option, plus really not necessary. This resort has truly been our home away from home with our annual Limetree friends , the beach, St. Armando Circle's favorite restaurants & stores , & a feeling that comes over me hearing & seeing the Gulf upon arrival that envelopes me, mind & spirit at peace, all concerns or troubles forgotten. There is no comparison to hotel stays as just another guest & Limetree's attention to providing amenities & supplies so you feel at home & as sense of belonging.

Rest assured that Myrtle Beach does not hold a candle in any way to Lido Beach & will either rent or purchase a unit in June or August 2026 to ensure Limetree is the only destination for my vacation come what may.
