Meet up, catch up, or laugh it up at Sand Dollar Restaurant, located on the seventh floor and overlooking Gulf views, or cozy up to our outdoor heated pool, home to Kokonuts Lounge and Tiki Bar.

Overlooking the Gulf of Mexico, our Lido Key hotel is directly across the street from the white sands of Lido Key Beach, within walking or free-shuttle distance to fantastic shopping and dining at St. Armand's Circle, just 2. 5 miles to the mainland and under 10 miles to Siesta Key Beach, the #1 beach in the USA.
