The Resort at Longboat Key Club is ideally located on a beautiful, soft white sand beach. For those who like their pools, they have a great hot tub and a large pool. Next to the pool, they have a small bar with nice Pina Coladas and TVs. There are several restaurants associated with the club.

The negative occurs when they "give" you a $75 credit each day for food. However, to get some pancakes and oatmeal for breakfast costs $50. The prices on their menu are very expensive, so $75/day does not go nearly as far as you would think. Additionally, on their website they prominently display the sailboats you can rent. This was one of my main reasons for selecting this property for our Florida stay. But of course, as soon as we arrive, they say all the boats are broken.

If you just want a beautiful beach and a great pool/hot tub, this place is fantastic. However, there is a fair bit of false advertising with the food credits and the boat rentals. Don't count on their amenities. Just plan on the beach.
