The “resort” was not as advertised on hotels.com. I have been a loyal customer of “hotels.com” and this was not a “fabulous” accommodation. It was an old two-story wooden building with exterior doors and wooden stairs to get to the second floor. It was a gravel parking lot. I spoke with the hotel clerk and RVA manager who said “no refund at all”. I tried speaking with “hotels.com” 3 times who were negotiating with the property. I did not stay at this property and left the area within 20 minutes. Do not book this property. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 4 nights in Mar 2021 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 12 Mar 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Disliked: Communication Communication very poor, I left my Drivers license at the front desk at check in, they had it for 2 days without contacting me. Then we asked to extend our stay, said they would check and call back. Never heard from them! Other then that, we loved our stay, great location, the resort was clean and friendly, and a good value. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in Mar 2021 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 15 Feb 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication Hotel was a great location.

We found the Silver Sands to be just the ticket. It had everything we could ask for. Well stocked kitchen was great and the refrigerator with ice maker made things very easy. We had an issue with the sliding doors going out the back. Suppose they needed new rollers which have probably been replaced by now. They had to call someone other than their normal maintenance crew which we witnessed working diligently on the beautiful grounds. We found the floors a bit gritty from day one but they did have a broom available and since you nearly fell out of your bed onto the beautiful beach, it was acceptable to us. The pool was beautiful saline pool and very good size. The people staying there as well as our host were always pleasant, friendly and helpful. We had an amazing time and can't wait to be able to go back. ##### Beverly Stayed 5 nights in Aug 2020 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Claudio 21 Jul 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, room comfort It was amazing really clean. ##### Claudio Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2020 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 23 May 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities My husband and I stayed at the Silver Sands back in 2007 when we got married, as did our wedding guests. Fast forward all these years later, and we went back for another stay at this lovely resort. First of all, Clint provided us with exceptional service, which is part of why we're continually loyal to this hotel over all of the other options. Secondly, the beach is beautiful and private, so you can relax and enjoy in peace. Plus the rooms are always sparkling clean, and the beds are super comfy. If you want to enjoy the splendor of Longboat Key in casual elegance without breaking the bank, this is your best bet. As a Florida local, this is my stamp of approval. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in May 2020 ### 10/10 Excellent #### C G. 8 Apr 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Spring break Had a great time, exactly what we wanted. Walked out our door and right to the beach or the pool. Clean, smaller in scale so small community atmosphere. Right in the middle of everywhere we wanted to go! ##### C G. Stayed 5 nights in Mar 2020 ### 8/10 Good #### Madison, Connecticut 15 Mar 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities Very quiet property, steps from the beach. Loved having access to free beach chairs and umbrellas. The bed was older and not as comfortable as we would have liked, but overall we loved this resort. ##### Madison Stayed 4 nights in Mar 2020 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 8 Mar 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Close to beach + heated pool.

It had an easy walk over to the Gulf. We used the sofa as a bed as well as the bedroom. Nice kitchen area. It was very comfortable. Shopping was close by and I would recommend this place for a “beach stay.” ##### Celeste H. Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2020 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Cameron 18 Feb 2020 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities #### Dark and dingy hotel room The room was dark with only one small window. The window unit could barely cool the room. The bed sheets were full of sand. The blow dryer didn’t work. The pillows smelled. The shower leaked. Should I continue? Not impressed. ##### Cameron Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2020 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ivan 15 Feb 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Clean, Neat, Close to Beach Very nice comfortable room with fridge and microwave close to the beach. Pool, coin laundry, free beach towels, chairs and umbrellas. ##### Ivan Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2020 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ginger, Green Bay. WI 13 Feb 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities The price point was great for this upscale area and the location was perfect, right on the beach!! We totally enjoyed our stay and would certainly love to return to this little gem. The Longboat Key and surrounding area was beautiful! Plus, a scenic short drive to Sarasota!! ##### Ginger Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2020 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jo 2 Feb 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Weekend in Longboat Key Great trip.
