Kompose Boutique Hotel
Great price typical morning buffet with a little upgrade. Lobby was inviting and people really did just relax there. Pool is nothing special. Kitchen had reasonable prices and variety for all kinds of tastes.

Golden Host Resort - Sarasota
The bartender made a good drink that I would recommend. Maybe a honey bee? I will say while I was checking in two different people came in with complaints so I was hesitant. But our room was fine. And while we didn’t use pool the pool area looked inviting with lots of seating.
