The history of this resort dates back over 40 years, when Longboat Key Club commenced operations as a country club with 18 holes of golf. In 1982 the Resort at Longboat Key Club was built as part of a planned development that included condos, private residences, an expanded country club and a resort.

You have to admit you are truly pampered when the 232 elegant rooms and suites provide everything from full kitchens, refrigerators with ice makers, Cable TV and movies-on-demand, Internet access and data port access, hair dryers and bathrobes, iron and ironing boards, coffee makers and mini bars, a twice-daily housekeeping service, including a nightly turndown service. Here, everyone is made to feel at home.

Guests relax in an atmosphere comparable to a country club with a private beach, 45 holes of championship onsite golf, 38 tennis courts (6 lighted for night play), a fitness center with massage therapies, heated pool and Jacuzzi, sail boats, rafts, boogies boards, bicycles, a double beach lounger, daily delivery of newspaper and coffee. Added to all of this is the sprawling outdoor heated pool providing a perfect place to bask in the sun, leaving thoughts of travel and everyday stress behind. Just steps away the patio bar features refreshing drinks and casual meals. What more can you ask for?

As the day winds down, many guests regroup at the resort's signature Sands Pointe restaurant, the 2002 recipient of the Award of Excellence from Wine Spectator magazine. Before enjoying the restaurant's culinary delights and relaxed atmosphere, guests can take in the first glimpse of the picture-perfect sunsets over the Gulf of Mexico. You may even get lucky and spot the mysterious Green Flash, said to be the last rays of the sun jumping off the lower atmosphere after the sunsets. Or, if you prefer, you can enjoy in-suite dining, due to in-room service ...
