We stayed two nights at Longboat key, we were expecting good things after the website but on arrival we felt quite deflated, I would describe it as " imagine you arrive at a large university to find all the students have gone home" , that was was it was like, admittedly the weather was not good which didn't help but...

Our stay here for Memorial Weekend was great. We reserved the Junior Suite which was large and comfortable. ( An extra TV will be a great addition) It is nice that they offer the service of setting up beach chairs and umbrellas at no extra charge.

I surprised my husband for his 60th BD by taking him back to the Longboat Key Resort where we spent our honeymoon in 1985. I even still had the brochures and room keys from our honeymoon! It was a treat for us as the Resort had such a feeling of luxury. We stayed in building 4 on the 4th floor.... More

All in all, the Longboat Key Club is a very good beach resort, with everything that you need for an enjoyable and relaxing stay. What is a bit shocking in the beginning is the architecture of the buildings, but once you got used to that, there is not much to complain. We had a kind of junior suite with cooking... More
