The 187-room Zota Beach Resort is a quiet upper-middle-range hotel located right on a sandy beach in Longboat Key. Rooms are stylish and contemporary, with cute beachy decor, balconies, and great amenities such as single-cup coffeemakers, free Wi-Fi, flat-screen TVs, and plenty of USB ports. The pool is a highlight here, thanks to a spacious deck full of loungers, a handful of large cabanas, and a lounge with a fire pit overlooking the beach. Though the hotel is generally quiet, an entertainment program that includes mellow, fun activities for both kids and adults keeps guests of all ages busy year-round. A fitness center and meeting space are also on-site. Breakfast (not included in the rate) is varied and tasty, but the dinner menu gets mixed reviews from past guests. Those seeking something cheaper on the beach may want to consider the Sandpiper Inn.

Sandpiper Inn is a small, value hotel with lush grounds in an excellent location for a beach holiday. The inn has direct access to a quiet white-sand beach with a picnic shelter. Most of its 11 rooms have full kitchens, including ovens and refrigerators, and all have outdoor patios with tables and chairs. The beach-style room decor is a bit hokey, and the pool is small, but the inn is a reliable standby in the area, and is a good choice for travelers seeking a small hotel on a budget. Another cheery budget option to consider could be the Beach Palms, which is farther south in Siesta Key.
