Scene
Small, well-maintained beach hotel with old Florida style
The Sea Spray Resort on Siesta Key has old
Florida style and is surrounded by well-maintained grounds full of flowers,
trees, shrubs, and lion’s head fountains. A small lobby continues the tropical feel with a bamboo front desk and white walls with beach-style artwork. Guests here are primarily vacationers and while it's suitable for all kinds of guests -- from families to senior travelers -- those with compromised mobility should request a ground-floor room as there are no elevators.
