Zota Beach Resort

The Zota Beach Resort is the newest addition to Ocean Properties OPAL collection. This new Gulf Coast Boutique resort opened on June 23, 2016. I recently had the opportunity to take a first peek at this new beachfront hotel located on Longboat Key in Sarasota County. This relaxing, family-friendly boutique hotel combines luxury with low key all in a beautiful location.

The Rooms

The Zota Beach Resort accommodations are comfortable, spacious and contemporary. The 187 room hotel provides three view options from the balcony: pool, resort, and beachfront. Each room has plush beds, 50″ flat screen TV’s mini-refrigerators, work station with extra outlets, a safe, and a coffee maker. The suites give extra space with a separate bedroom and a living room with a sofa sleeper. Room service is available for breakfast, lunch and dinner from Viento Kitchen & Bar.

The Pool

The infinity-edge pool is surrounded by palm trees and cushioned lounge chairs. There is a 21 person hot tub, fire pit, oversized chessboard for added outdoor activity. If you plan to spend an entire day outside at the pool I highly recommend reserving one of the eight private cabanas. These cabanas are ideal outdoor living space with lounge furniture, refrigerator, and eating space.

The Food

Zota Beach Resort offers two dining options led by Executive Chef Jason Pellet. Viento Kitchen & Bar features hand-crafted cocktails, an expansive wine list, and menu options that perfectly combine Caribbean and Mediterranean flavors. The restaurant is located on the second floor with an open-air bar, impressive floating wine wall and outdoor dining that overlooks the hotel pool while also providing a spectacular view of the ocean. Cascades pool bar provides a quick bite when soaking up the sun. Food and bar service is also available throughout the pool deck and within the private cabanas.
