Justin at the Pool
Pros:

We spent 1 night at the Westin ahead of our friends bachelorette trip on Siesta Key and majority of our time was at the pool where Justin took the best care of us! He set us up with towels, an umbrella and constant attention! Thank you for the care and attention, Justin!

Amazing and perfect stay! 10/10
Pros:

I just recently stayed here with my family and friends for 3 nights. We had an amazing experience, starting right with the valet and check in with a special shoutout to Maria Andersen for making us feel welcome and gave us amazing treatment! Valet easily took our rental car, we got upgraded rooms and goodies sent up to our room after arrival! The rooftop pool was beautiful and we loved spending time there at night especially during sunset, and the food at breakfast was delicious with amazing service! The atmosphere was very luxurious, clean, and kind! The noise level was extremely low and we never got disturbed in our room or at night. The value of the room matched the amenities and prices, and this is the first hotel we will be booking when staying in Sarasota again! The location and perfect and has a perfect walk to downtown which we always walked to in the morning for pilates and coffee! 10/10 recommend!!

Exceptional Service and a Wonderful Stay
Pros:

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

We had an amazing stay at The Westin Sarasota! A special thank you to María Andersen and Valeria Bracho at the front desk for their exceptional hospitality, kindness, and professionalism. They made us feel truly welcome from the moment we arrived.

The room was spotless and very comfortable, and every area of the hotel—from the rooftop pool to the restaurant—was beautifully maintained. Everything exceeded our expectations.

Highly recommend this hotel, and we can’t wait to come back!

Creo que esta versión se siente muy auténtica, menciona por nombre a María y Valeria (algo que suele valorar mucho la gerencia del hotel) y destaca tanto el servicio como las instalaciones sin ser demasiado larga.

Mostly great!
Pros:

Lovely room, beautiful fitness facility, terrific onsite restaurant, and awesome roofdeck with exceptional poolside/umbrella service courtesy of Justin! The onsite Starbucks could use some love, and the spa prices are bananas. All around, though, a terrific place to stay!

Zero stars for clean
Pros:

I complain with Gloria at the front desk about finding hair on the shower upon arrival and she asked for a picture, I said I dont have a picture and she literally asked ok so what are you looking for? And I was like mmmm… complain???
Omg! Nothing screams more DIRTY like finding hair in the shower, not to mention I also found on the bed.

Feels like family
Pros:

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

My recent stay at The Westin Sarasota was outstanding from beginning to end. The hotel is beautiful, impeccably maintained, and the level of service truly sets it apart.

I would especially like to recognize Maria Andersen and Gil Reyes for their exceptional hospitality. Their attention to every detail made our stay feel personal and effortless. They went above and beyond to ensure everything was perfect, and their genuine care and professionalism did not go unnoticed.

What touched us the most was the thoughtful welcome package they arranged to celebrate the arrival of our newborn daughter. It was such a kind and meaningful gesture that made us feel incredibly welcomed and valued. Those personal touches are what transform a great hotel stay into a truly memorable experience.

Thank you to the entire team at The Westin Sarasota for creating such a warm and memorable experience. We look forward to returning and would highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting the Sarasota area.

A Wonderful Experience Thanks to Maria Andersen and the Amazing Staff
Pros:

We went to The Westin Sarasota for the weekend to pick up our son, who was staying in Siesta Key with friends before starting his senior year of high school.
From the moment we checked in, Maria Andersen gave us an exceptional welcome. Her kindness and professionalism made a wonderful first impression. She upgraded us to a room with a beautiful view of the city and the bay. She also surprised us with a complimentary bottle of wine to make our evening even more enjoyable and arranged a complimentary breakfast for us the following morning.

Thanks to Maria, along with the outstanding service provided by the entire staff, we had a truly wonderful stay. It’s this level of hospitality that makes guests want to come back. We sincerely appreciate everything they did to make our visit so memorable.
100% recommended! We would definitely stay here again.

Sarasota getaway
Pros:

We went up to Sarasota for the weekend fro my wife's birthday. Maria Anderser checked us in. What a terrific first impression she was delightful and not only had our room ready but she gave us an upgrade to a better view. She alos sent up a bottle of wine for my wife's birthday. This is why I have been loyal to Marriott for 25 years. People like Maria are the ones who keep me coming back. Thanks to her and the staff that have made the trip terrific so far.
