“This North Sarasota hotel caught my attention with its distinctive mid-century modern design, enhanced by a lively Tiki bar known for its Mai Tais and guest rooms equipped with convenient kitchenettes; the tropical landscaping creates a relaxing escape. It's an appealing choice with a retro vibe, steps away from area attractions and Gulf beaches. I find this resort balances vintage charm with modern comfort, providing an affordable option for families and couples.”
