The room was very clean. The staff was very helpful. We had a small issue with the lock and room key (technology) but was fixed right away. The outdoor pool was very nice and access to other property pool and beach was very nice. Parking was easy and available.

This is a beautiful property with a classy circus theme to reflect the Ringling Brothers influence in Sarasota. A public beach is across the street to stroll in the morning and St Armand’s Circle is a 10 minute walk with lots of shopping and fine dining. The front desk calls a very nice private shuttle that takes you the short distance to Lido Beach for the full resort treatment of chairs, towels, drinks and snacks delivered to you. The beach is beautiful white sand and clear water. The bar in the hotel has a nice happy hour and has a fun atmosphere. The main restaurant has absolutely amazing food with gorgeous presentations. They clean the room daily and gave us turn down service with chocolates and slippers. The room also had refillable metal water bottles and dispensers for them on each floor. There were also luxurious robes and bed linens! We loved this place and will return!

This hotel was very impressive. Not only was it in a perfect location with beautiful ocean views and close to the circle, it was remodelled with extremely attractive decor and amenities. The staff was extremely helpful and friendly, the onsite restaurant was excellent, the pool was convenient and clean and everything in the place was immaculate. Will definately consider again if visiting the area.

Great hotel for a quick walk into town or literally cross the road to the public beach. The rooms were clean and newly done. The pool was trendy and cute and clean. The highlight was the food and drinks. Everything we ordered at the hotel was next level good. I highly recommend eating breakfast on site in the restaurant.

Love, love, love the Cirque. Beautiful grounds, awesome restaurants and love that there was a shuttle to their sister resort that we had full access to. The shuttle drivers were soo friendly along with Toni that checked us in. We met Stephanie at the Coastal Cowgirl, who happens to work with the Opal hotel resorts and she was soo glad that we were having an amazing time. Loved the close proximity to St Armands Circle. 3 blocks away. Highly recommend going there also. We definitely will be back soon!!!

The hotel was amazing! Exceeded my expectations. Very accommodating and close to everything. The shuttle was very convenient to go to St Armand’s circle and the Lido Beach Resort. The hotel does not have chairs or umbrellas on the beach, but you have access to the Lido Beach Resort where they set up the chairs and umbrellas. Also have their amenities like their pools and tiki bars to use!! Would come here thousand times more

Nice!
- 5/5
Loved the place! We were on the 7th floor which has a larger balcony and 4 chairs. They had a welcome drink, impeccable housekeepers, and a cool, warm, refreshingly nice vibe! We had a corner room and the city side but still could see the beach from the edge of our balcony. It was quiet, too! A nice benefit was the shuttle and access to their other lido property with a great beach bar, beach chairs and umbrellas, and beach service! Much less crowded than Siesta beach. We really loved the location... right across from the public lido beach, free parking, and a close walk to the Armand shops... of course the shuttle would take you there, too. Great restaurants within walking distance and nice little bars. Fun!

Popsicles and champagne s we got in Everything was nice and super clean Bedroom had a nice view and clean and comfortable beds. Purchase breakfast and food was really good. Beach is across the street, Private beach access on a partner hotel (I believe) 2 minutes drive,8 minutes walk or shuttle that goes back a forward Like 5 minutes walk to Armand’s circle

Never told no beach chairs or umbrellas, so could not go to beach. Restaurant tables on top of c each other, u constantly hear others conversations, limited menu.

It was not very helpful for the elderly. I tripped twice in over the step going out to the patio area and cut my leg and when I went down to breakfast, we sat and waited 10 minutes to try and get a cup of coffee we ended up leaving very slow thank you blessings.

Great location, great staff, spotless! Get a beach view room. Walking distance to St. Armands. Can use sister property just down the beach where they have beach chairs, umbrellas, 2 pools, and big tiki bar. Good place to watch your sporting events. But I would stay at the Cirque St. Armands Beachside as it is quieter and more intimate.

Jillian was so awesome at the front desk! She is amazing and very helpful concerning all aspects of our stay. Jansen in the bar was amazing as well and we enjoyed our time at the bar with him. I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone that wants to experience the excellence of an opal hotel. We enjoyed a delicious breakfast each morning in the hotel . We are not normally breakfast eaters, but the menu and quality of the food changedall of that on the first day. We will definitely be back very very soon. Thank you for a most excellent stay!

Very pretty

A great location even though the is a road between the hotel and beach. The sister Opal resort, which you can take a shuttle to is on the beach. That property needs to extend the time they pay their beach staff to be 30 minutes AFTER the sunset, getting kicked out of the beach chairs 20 minutes before the sunset was very annoying. The restaurant in the Cirque was OK, good for breakfast and the pool bar and staff were great.

Highly recommended this gem of a property. Beautiful modern art deco circus theme decor with historical photography. This Opal luxury is brand new. The front reception staff and restaurant staff were so helpful and friendly. They really care about sustainability and provide water bottle fill up stations on every floor to reduce plastic. Great access to the beach and walkable in 5 minutes to Armand Circle full of boutiques, bars and restaurants. There is a free shuttle that takes you to the sister Lido Beach resort if you want a private beach or to go downtown. I loved that included in my daily resort fee I had parking on site. Highly recommend this little slice of paradise.
- 5/5
The property was wonderful except for the pool. The photos on the website are an AI rendering if what it was supposed to look like, but the city shut it down (according to the pool bartender). Also, the beach adjacent to the hotel is a public beach, so chairs / umbrellas aren’t available to rent on site. The only option is to bring your own, or go down to the Lido Beach Resort to use their chairs. Not a huge deal, as we enjoyed the beach being much less populated vs the private one, but definitely something we wish we would have known prior.

Property has been nicely refurbished. We enjoyed our stay. Only problem was our room didn’t get serviced every day ({even though they told us we would have daily service) and we had to call a couple of times to get fresh towels, trash taken out and beds made. We stayed there 6 days. But we would definitely stay there again. Very close to beach and walkable to St Armand’s Circle

My husband and I and our daughter drove in from Miami to celebrate her 15th birthday. She wanted to tour Ringling Art College nearby and this circus themed hotel was perfect! We fell in love with the decor, it was done beautifully. We also really enjoyed the boutique vibe - nostalgic, swanky but low key. And the food was amazing!! We’re already planning to come back later this year.

Visiting friends on Lido Key for the weekend and we chose this brand new Opal Collection boutique hotel. Excellent walkable location to St Armand’s Circle, be advised “bay view room” means parking lot view, but luckily we got a corner room, so from our balcony we saw parking lot and partial Gulf view which was very nice. So if you prefer a complete beach and gulf view, I suggest paying more for Gulf front room. Elevators are painfully slow. Food was excellent. Will definitely be back.

The hotel provide a free short shuttle ride to sister hotel Lido Beach Resort (which we prefer) with acess to their private beach, chairs and umberllas pools, resutrants and bar. Armond circle is few blocks away or you can use the free shuttle.

The room was great. The staff was great. The location was great. The ability to utilize the sister hotel, Lido Beach Resort, was great, although it made us question why we didnt just stay at LBR. Suggestion, offer chairs and umbrellas at the beach across the street. The only complaint we have is the menu at Ringside. It was unnecessarily fancy. My husband is a chef and I have waited tables for years in my past, so we are not unknowledgable about food service. The restaurant was close to empty most nights we were there. That should tell you something. We would have preferred to stay in house for dinner, but ended up going to St. Armands every night. We would recommend changing the lunch and dinner menu to offer both fancy food, but balanced with straight forward dinners. We had a fantastic time and wish we could have stayed longer... again, the frustration was the restaurant menu.

While the staff may do their best to meet your needs, the overall experience falls short and does not justify the cost. It feels like a complete scam. To add to the frustration, the property manager failed to apologize and simply stated that she was not involved. This lack of accountability is disappointing. Its not worth the price they ask!

Arrived at hotel to check in. Property was closed for remodeling. Took my non-refundable payment for the stay even though they knew the hotel would be closed. Did not notify me there would be no room. Did not refund my payment. Booked me into a different hotel in a room that cost substantially less per night and pocketed the difference. Absolutely horrid service.

Complimentary cold bottled water was nice. Hotel staff was very nice, everyone we encountered was professional and helpful. We would stay here again and will recommend to our out of state family!

Dirty, bugs (cockroaches), old, need repairs, water smelled like sewage, hallways stunk (musky), staff was not engaged in their job, breakfast was horrible. Rooms were small. Don’t recommend at all. Not worth the money. Don’t make the same mistake I did.

On the property its self its great.. but after leaving and getting home we realized that someone had gone thru our stuff. My son had some shoes that never left his bag the whole time we wore there and they came out missing and my wife had some money in her bag ($400 in a zipped bag attached to the inside of her bag) and it did not make it home.. we contacted the manager about this and she just told us that they are not responsible for any theft. When it was in the room locked and only her staff were the only ones that went inside.. after reporting the stolen items they called saying that they found the shoes that wore in the bag the whole trip and i had to pay $45 if i wanted them delivered.. soo if the shoes came up.. obviously that verified that they did go through our bags. (Because his shoes wore never take out of his bag the whole trip and they were inside a zipped pouch inside his bag as well. there was no way they could have fallen out) . but nothing was sed about the missing money. Its sad that they would have people working there that could do such a thing. People go to hotels to have their stuff and themselves feel safe.. not be wondering if they will have their things stolen when they go to clean the rooms

Nice place
- 4/5
stay was fine. real draw is the extremely close proximity to lido beach- which was gorgeous and basically steps away. nice to have water and snacks from 2-4pm. the cleaner/scent they use in the hotel lobby is strong (that is not sunscreen/suntan lotion etc, its a fragrance based cleaner).

Old school Holiday Inn. However, very clean. Staff was very personable and you cannot beat the location. We heard they will be closing this month and will begin renovations. We look forward to staying again once they reopen!!!

The check in was very easy. In addition to the hotel price, which was very high, there was an additional per day fee. My room was old looking and had a lot of patch work. I had a balcony that I couldn’t use because the handle came off in my hand. The tub was chipped and there was no hot water in the sink. There is also no microwave in the room. I did like the coffee bar that was offered in the lobby. For the price, except for the hotel being across from the beach, the price was not worth it. It really needs updating or the price should reflect the state of the hotel. The lobby is very nice.

Clean and comfortable room in a great location. Our room did seem somewhat run-down—broken handle on the sliding glass door, light fixture with dangling bulb, difficult to switch from tub to shower, and running toilet. But, the staff was friendly and the location was easy to navigate and had a great view. Bonus—hotel is super turtle friendly!

Perfect location, right across from the beach and walkable to Armond circle with restaurants and boutiques. The hotel has everything you need

The staff was so friendly, professional and very personable. The hotel was very clean. The restaurant had a beautiful view of the beach and the breakfast was awesome!!! I will visit again and inform my friends to stay there. It was great! ALL THE STAFF NEED A RAISE. They were wonderful. Front desk, cleaners, and all restaurant employees. Loved them!

Everything about this place is great. The only down side is that there are no food options for vegans just fruit and potatoes for breakfast and none for the little restaurant on the first floor.

Incredible views of Lido Beach. Very nice staff. It’s rumored that this property is closing soon to become a more expensive luxury resort. The wonderful view will then cost much more money to enjoy.

Needs updating but clean and great amenities including pool bar restaurant gym unlimited water and afternoon snacks.
- 3/5
The pool deck is poorly designed with little room for lounge chairs and in the afternoon the building totally blocks the sun.
- 4/5
Needed to change rooms because the bathroom was so cramped. The gym was a little outdated. Personnel were very receptive and helpful. Excellent location to the beach and St. Armands Circle, which is only a block away and no need to pay additionally for parking on the circle.

Best location for beach and restaurants (all walkable). Beach never disappoints. One of the best in the US. Hotel rooms need a complete overhaul and refit though.

needs a little updating but otherwise definitely going back
