Property was fantastic just if you want to eat outside of hotel, nothing much is easily in walking distance. I rented a bike and rode to Sarasota a few times but sometimes it would have been nice to have more options closer. However the beach and pool were a fabulous set up and worth the inconvenience to me. Hotel room and amenities were amazing as well
We were happy with our stay. We had an issue with our room and the staff was super friendly and attentive, they handled the situation right away and we had a great stay. The ground are clean and well maintained. The rooms are spacious and the bed was comfortable. The area is quiet, come here if you’re looking for a peaceful beach get away from the bustle of city life.

I will not return. Check-in experience was very disappointing and the room left much to be desired. Sofa bed was very uncomfortable and the bathroom was small. The food and service at the restaurant was superior. The room rate was 604.00 per night. I’ve never experienced a more disappointing stay. Not at all worth the price Not the Opal experience I hoped for.
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.
This resort is amazing. The staff are all superb. Very comfortable pool area with an easy access to the beach is, fantastic.

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.
The staff at Zota, the front desk, valet, bartenders housekeeping staff are all excellent, friendly so helpful!

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!
