Sand Dollar Pool - Sarasota County

Love this place great food cool live music and close to the

The room was a family suite with 2 bedrooms (1 king and 2 full size beds). The room's a/c were good. The bathrooms were ok and the room shows how old this hotel is. At least they were clean. The free hot breakfast was a dissapointment compare to other hotels where I had free breakfast. Overall I was expecting something better but how close it is to the beach and the limited selection in the area, I will say that it was ok.

The staff was great and rooms were kept clean. Hotel staff was knowledgeable and provided all kinds of help. Breakfast was not very good, but otherwise, would defnitely come back!! Location was great. Central and close to beaches and food.

We love this place! Guests and locals mingle and word of mouth keeps the hotelAnd Tiki bar hopping. I heard a new company is taking over so I hope they keep the Tiki pool bar, it’s an amazing family friendly amenity!! Keep the Sand Dollar!!!

This hotel is trash for what they charge. It’s old and dirty. Saw several palmetto bugs and many ants… more than you’d expect for just being “Florida”. I am born and raised in FL and there was enough to know that they have a problem. The room was dingy and not very clean. The vent in the bathroom had gobs of clumped dust. The bathroom door was misaligned and would not shut. The room key would not work almost every time and we had to get a replacement and that still did not function properly. They kept telling us we must have had the key next to a cell phone, which after the first time we didn’t. The breakfast was gross, fake eggs and stale bread. Ants all over the counters, tables and walls in the breakfast area. Brown bananas and “table syrup” (which is high fructose corn syrup) instead of maple syrup. The “free beach shuttle” doesn’t begin until 10:00 AM, most people want to be to the beach before that!! Not worth the money at all!! Horrible experience and I will never stay here again. I recommend you don’t either.
