Top Sarasota Fairgrounds Hotel Reviews

Embassy Suites by Hilton Sarasota, FL

10/10 Excellent

"Best hotel we have ever stayed at! Clean, amazing service, breakfast! Top notch!"

Downtown Home! Spacious Backyard, King Size Bed, Fully Equipped Near Beaches

10/10 Excellent

"My stay was absolutely perfect. The Host was fast to communicate and had the place looking clean and ready to stay. Everything was absolutely perfect. I would stay again."

2-bedroom secondary suite in lovely Sarasota

10/10 Excellent

"The place was very clean and comfortable! Olga was very communicative and helpful. It was close to everything we wanted to do. We would stay here again!"

Downtown,Italian Villa For Two,Resort Style.5 minutes to Siesta-Lido.

10/10 Excellent

"Great choice!! You will love this vacation experience. The house was built with the same Italian workmanship you will find in Italy with solid walls and beautiful masonry. "Big Bed", and that's all I will tell about that subject 😎 The owner is friendly and helpful. We didn't get too much time to chat, but I'll make a point to do so when we go back. The photos are accurate, so check them out!! Pool, hot tub, all just for you. Don't wait too long😎"

Luxury 6BR /8 Bath Villa w/ Saltwater Pool, Spa & Fire Pit 26-005110

10/10 Excellent

"We travel to Sarasota very frequently, at least twice a year and usually go with another company on the Island. We had to stay closer to town for a wedding and we were a little nervous. But the house on line looked nice and was reasonably priced for both the location and size of the home.When we pulled up it was in an old Florida neighborhood and was cute, but when we opened the front door we were totally blown away! From the front door to the backyard with the pool/hot tub and fire pit. Foliage that belongs at Walt Disney World Epcot or on a tropical island. The kitchen was massive and 2 powder/half baths downstairs. The upstairs was equally as well thought out. It was difficult to tell where the master suite was as all of the bedrooms were en suite and the views were spectacular, overlooking the pool from the terrace/balcony that wrapped around the house.There was attention to detail in each and every room. The only negative thing I would have to say is that seven days with family was not enough!!!!! The whole family lives in Sarasota but we came from North Carolina and wanted them all to stay in the same luxury we had for seven days. This is our usual pattern and we all agreed that this was by for the most spectacular property we had stayed in for over 10 years!!!THIS is our new vacation rental company for the foreseeable future. Oh and the host is an absolute dream to work with, she does the owner proud for sure."
