The Resort at Longboat Key - One Bedroom Suite $375 - $600 Per Night
When I opened the door to my one bedroom suite I was pleasantly surprised. The suite encompassed approximately 850 square feet and overlooked the ocean. My room was delightfully fresh and was decked out with neutral contemporary furnishings. This included a full size kitchen that could accommodate up to six guests. One of the best features that I liked was the stacked washer and dryer! It is very convenient and a huge plus to leave with clean clothes.
My bedroom had a sumptuous king size bed that was situated next to a sliding glass door, with an ocean front balcony. Weather permitting, this setup is perfect for catching the light breezes coming off the ocean, while taking a nap. I felt right at home in my room and could imagine staying there on an extended basis. It had everything one could desire.

It is a happy day for me when there is a massage on the schedule. I walked into the spa, which was a cocoon of soft colors. Soothing music played as I changed into a plush robe and was escorted into the private massage room. I chose a lightly scented organic oil and the 50-minute deep tissue massage for my treatment. Highly healing and restorative, my stress melted away. If time permits please don’t miss checking out the spa and treating yourself to a luxurious nurturing experience. You are worth it! Spa Menu:

Portofino Restaurant and Grill
One of the best things about staying at the Longboat Key Club and Resort is that you don’t have to leave the property to get world classing dinning options. The resort had eight restaurants and lounges.
On our last night we were excited to have some fresh seafood and enjoy the ambience overlooking the marina. Portofino serves up classic Northern Italian cuisine and some of the best wood-fire brick-oven pizza around. The lush Italian terrace transported me to Italy. The panoramic harbor views were amazing.
