We stayed here after getting married and it was a fantastic experience! As soon as the staff knew they made our stay feel very special and we were incredibly well looked after and even gave us some extra treats too! An incredible place to stay with just the most wonderful staff - thank you everyone for making our day really special.

Check in staff asked about my name. Telling me my name is spelled like a man. Beach staff had 4 guys just sitting there doing nothing. But unwilling to help us get settled in beach chairs. Saw them helping other people though. That was so nice of them. Overall not too impressed with this visit to Zota.

Beautiful location. Bad service
We have been going to Zota since 2019. The service has changed a lot . The staff is not friendly like they used to. There was construction going on next door! And it wasn’t mention when I made the reservation. Felt we were treated differently than other guests! For example when I went for breakfast I was sat away from everyone else in the corner where the fan wasn’t even working. When there was other tables available.

This was our second stay at this hotel, and it was amazing! The atmosphere is perfect for relaxation, which is exactly what we were looking for. While it would be nice to have a few more amenities for kids, everything else was wonderful. The staff is incredibly friendly, and the restaurant offers great food. We can't wait to return!

Clean ocean front hotel on Longboat Key.
This hotel was clean. The balcony looked over the pool and you could see some ocean view too. The rooms were a little outdated but functional. The location was perfect. Beachfront and chairs and towels were provided. Umbrellas were available for a fee. We have a great time at Zota. The only issue that could be improved on was the size of the bathroom. There is a grocery store (Publix) close by. Shopping and food at St. Amanda was about a 15 min. Drive.

Property was clean, dining wasn’t that good and staff at dinning weren’t friendly, food took forever. Not much to do besides pool and beach. At 9 pm everything is close and there’s nothing else to do than going to sleep . Hotel should have even at the pool or music or movies night or something. Only valet parking, staff hit my car mirror.
