Four Winds Beach Resort - Longboat Key, Florida

Raul C.

El hotel esta situado en la playa de Longboat Key un bellísimo lugar para descansar y disfrutar de la playa el sol y el mar. Situado próximo a Bradenton y Sarasota. El hotel es sencillo sin lujos pero con la conveniencia de disponer de habitaciones con la comodidad de tener una cocina completa lo que permite usarlo como un departamento sin serlo. A pocos metros hay un Publix (supermercado) muy bueno parece una boutique donde se puede adquirir todo lo necesario y muy buena calidad de productos. Estuvimos una semana a través de un intercambio efectuado con RCI.

Es un hotel sobre el mar, unas 100 habitaciones, bastante viejo pero remodelado por dentro. Son estudios y apts. de una o dos habitaciones, con todo incluido. Bueno para estar una semana o dos porque está sobre la playa. Tiene WiFi.

I own a week here. Even though this is not a luxury resort is very nice and it has a beautiful beach. The only thing I don't like is that the maintenance keep going up and up. With the economy today is hard to keep up with the fees.

Professionally landscaped and maintained grounds. Pool and patio are well kept. Beach chairs and umbrellas are plentiful. All the front desk staff are kind and helpful. I was in a small studio that did not have a patio or balcony. Next time, I would look for a room that does.

This resort could have been a 5 star review for the beach and sunset alone. The beach set up with the loungers and umbrellas was perfect! It was so convenient to be able to walk out of the room with just our beach towels and have everything all set up for us to relax on the beach.

Unfortunately, the first impression of the room was awful. I’m not at all sensitive to smells but we walked into a room that reeked of rotten fish, most likely from the previous guests. The air conditioning was off so it was hot in the room, and combined with the high humidity, it made the smell so bad you could almost taste it.

We let the older gentleman at front desk know, hoping he could have someone from the housekeeping staff come clean up a little better, but all he did was add a pack of baking soda to the fridge and said he didn’t smell anything, as if we had some reason to make that up.

We had to deep clean the room top to bottom but we couldn’t find the source of the smell. After leaving the windows and sliding patio door open for a few hours, it aired out and smelled slightly better, but still like the fish counter of a supermarket. It took a couple days to finally go away.

The other big negative was the bed. It’s a queen sized Murphy bed that comes down from the wall so it was very convenient to free up space in the small room but it’s soooo uncomfortable.

After the first night, we felt like we were hit by a car in the middle night. We had to go to Walmart and buy a 3” foam mattress pad which helped tremendously.

There was a small issue with a couple big roaches in the room but I didn’t take off any points for that. Hopefully they add some monthly pest control to the resort.

All in all, this review could have easily been a 5 star review if they replaced the bed, the cleaners did a better job of turning the room around between guests, and most importantly, if the front desk was retrained on what hospitality means.

We really enjoyed our stay. The staff was amazing and though the furniture was dated the place we had was large and spotless. Family friendly atmosphere and no nonsense. The only negative was the bed... not very comfortable. Even that we are looking forward to coming back.

We visited in May 2023. Prior to arriving we received a letter in the mail advising that our studio room would have no outdoor space, 1 window overlooking the parking lot and a Murphy bed. The letter also said there would be no opportunity to change rooms. Basically, don't complain when you get here because this is what you get. We were on exchange through RCI, my father had just passed 2 weeks prior, I called the resort upon receipt of the letter, and was told "sorry, but the ground are nice." The room was exactly as the letter stated. The only thing missing was that the bed was also the dining table when in the closed position. Seemed to be a lot of rules, could only get 1 beach towel per day, only clean bath towels if you were there on Wednesday at 9AM to swap them. No interior maid service during the week stay.|I say all off this so you are aware. |On the positives, the location is beautiful, on the Gulf, quiet, maintained for being older. We were only there to sleep and walk the beach for sunsets. Lots to see and do within short drives.|

This was my first time staying at Four Winds, and it was a pleasure. The location is beautiful, the staff was accommodating, and the rooms far exceeded my expectations. The landscaping made the beautiful pool area so inviting, and the beach was very well furnished with lounge chairs and umbrellas as well.
