We were so happy with the Golden Host Resort! For a five night stay, we paid about $500 and loved the proximity to Longboat Key, 25ish minutes. Our room had a mini fridge and microwave - really convenient for kids! It was very clean too, felt safe! Our room walked right out to a giant lawn and pool! It was a relaxing, retro Old Florida-reimagined vibe - fun colors! The resort has the oldest tiki bar in Florida, and we received two free drinks vouchers upon arrival...! There's always coffee in the lobby too! A++! This will be our go to spot!
Had a great stay at Golden Host, Location to airport was great, easy to find and lots of parking, nice clean rooms.
All the staff we dealt with were helpful and very pleasant .
The TiKi Hut was a fun plus.
