The Sandcastle Resort at Lido Beach draws its inspiration from the culture, flavor, and style that is Sarasota, FL, and Lido Key. Just a half-mile from the entertainment and lifestyle center of St. Armand's Circle, your well-appointed resort room is near the very best the City of Sarasota has to offer. Hang out and relax by the Gulf-front resort pool area and drink up the sunshine. Or find a peaceful place to sit and enjoy the warm waters of The Gulf of Mexico on our pristine, white sand beach. From the moment they wake up until the moment they flip off the lights and gaze at the night sky from the guest room balconies, our guests enjoy the services and amenities expected of a beachfront resort.
