I purchased a bundle through Expedia and also purchased the breakfast daily for an additional charge. The staff was friendly and the man said they would put the breakfast tickets under our door for the next mornings breakfast. The tickets were not under the door and we had to ask the lady the next morning. She then gave us 4 days of tickets, when we were supposed to get 5. When sitting down to breakfast it's a very limited expensive menu and the tickets only cover 35 dollars and we have to cover the rest. That should of been a detail in the breakfast purchase. Also while checking in he did let us check in early which I was very happy about however he took my card and said it was just to put in on file. I noticed everyday I was charged 75 dollars. I then questioned the lady ( acouple days later)at the front desk and she said there was a 40 dollar a day parking fee and 27 dollar fee for the use of the bikes and pool. Mean while I have already paid for the room for 5 days and didn't figure in an additional 400 dollar charge. I personally will never purchase a vacation bundle through Expedia again.

Extremely disappointed with the booking of this hotel. When I originally booked it said that there was breakfast included only for me to find out when I’m there that it wasn’t. Very sketchy on Expedia’s or the hotels part - unsure. I would be aware of booking at this hotel for that reason. I would have gone somewhere else.

My family and I had a wonderful stay at Voco Sarasota. The hotel truly exceeded our expectations. The location is excellent, everything was very clean, and the overall atmosphere was welcoming and comfortable.
What stood out the most was the outstanding customer service, especially from Jake, who assisted us during check-in. He was incredibly friendly, professional, and went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. When we asked for dinner recommendations, he even took the time to prepare a list of the closest and best restaurants for us, which we really appreciated.
Thank you, Jake, and the entire Voco Sarasota team for making our stay so enjoyable. We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Sarasota.

Overall, we had a nice stay and enjoyed the property. The only issue we experienced involved communication. Earlier in the day, I received a text message stating that if I needed anything, I could simply reply to that number.
Around 8:00 p.m., while my husband and I were out for a walk, my father called to say he had a severe headache. I replied to the text requesting towels and something for his headache, but I never received a response. When we returned around 11:00 p.m., my father told me that no one had brought the requested items. I then called the front desk and was informed that the employee on duty was new and was not familiar with the texting system.
I would recommend ensuring that all staff members are properly trained on the hotel’s communication system so that guest requests submitted by text are acknowledged and handled promptly. Aside from this experience, we had a pleasant stay.

Overall, this hotel met our basic needs, however I found amenities to be misrepresented. There is a daily resort fee for services such as the pool, fitness center, shuttle, and beach gear however the shuttle was rarely available to bring us where we needed so we were unable to use this. The beach gear was first come, first served and was poor quality. We had daily issues with our room keys not working and plumbing issues in our room. The hotel was overall clean and served its purpose, but the amenities were the man draw for us to stay here so I was slightly disappointed.

Even though the hotel states the rooms have been refurbished they were just lack luster. The shower had mildewed caulk. The pictures on the walls were of cats and birds and were hung crooked. I could not open the curtains all the way so it was a bit claustrophobic. The rooms only had espresso makers and if you wanted a just cup of coffee you had to buy it.

The staff was very friendly.

The property is centrally located for a visit to Sarasota. We had the junior suite which was spacious and comfortable. The pool and fitness center are very nice. The facility is definitely outdated and nothing “special”, although they try to dress it up with colorful decor. The maid service was subpar, they never came on day one and didn’t come until late afternoon day 2. Neither day did we receive new towels. Remaining staff were all very friendly. It wasn’t a bad stay, but we will likely try a different hotel next time simply because we know there are better in the area.

If you’re looking to rest, this is not the hotel for you. Lots of banging that started extremely early in the morning and continued through out the day, ending around 11pm. The housekeeping team hung out on the floor starting at 7am, talking loudly, finishing mid afternoon. Bring your own multiplugs or extension cords as our room only contained two.
I wasn’t thrilled with our stay and will choose differently in the future.

Shuttle a plus although I wish they had offered initially to pick us up from the airport we Ubered not knowing. The keys kept getting deactivated multiple times which was a bit annoying. Probably 4x and we were here less than a week. Beach items were very poorly kept, chairs rusty, broken, umbrellas the same. Wish they had a better selection and beach wagons would be amazing to put it all in. Wish there was more staff at the restaurant/bar area. Overall great stay!

The room was very nice and clean but for me the bed was too soft. Of course, this is a subjective thing.
We were disappointed that the restaurant food was just passable, although it is a convenience if you are too tired to go to a nearby restaurant. Restaurants are not right outside the door. You need to do some walking to get to them which is ok during the day, but at night walking a number of blocks in an area almost empty of pedestrians seemed like it could be unsafe. The hotel provides a free shuttle service which is very helpful but it would be nice if restaurants were closer or the food in the hotel restaurant was better. Our second night we would have tried dinner again, but they were out of the first 3 menu items that we wanted so we called the shuttle driver and went downtown.

The room was \"tired.\" The A/C didn't work. The room had a combination musty/chemical smell. And, while they supposedly have a restaurant and room service, the front desk didn't seem to know what room service was and the restaurant, which was supposedly open for dinner had no one in it, either as a patron or staff. The parking garage was tight, and the one EV charger charges at an incredibly slow rate.
