It was a great place very clean.

It was exactly as expected. Everything was so easy. The area was perfect so close to the beach, and walking distance to the trolley or call Johnny free ride and they will pick you up at your door. Will stay here again.

Quaint place 2 stay! The beach and ocean are beautiful!

From the online pictures, it appeared that you would be facing the beach. You could not see the beach or the water from the siesta beach resort. The walk to the beach was only a couple minutes. It says private beach, which it was, but only a small strip of the beach was where you could sit if you were a guest of siesta beach resort. The rest of the beach, on either side, was reserved for the condominiums that were on each side of the resort. There were clear signs that if you were not staying at one of those condominiums, you could not put your chair or umbrellas on their part of the beach. There were loungers and chairs provided at the edge of the beach, but you had to take them all the way down to the water yourself. The beach is beautiful but very big so it was cumbersome to drag the loungers while trying to carry a beach bag and or a cooler. Also,there are rubber bracelets that you are supposed to wear, I'm assuming so people would know that you are from the resort, not the condominiums. You do not need these bracelets for access to the beach, there is a fob for that, so the bracelets are actually pointless. However if you lose one you will be charged $25. There also was only one towel per guest for the entire week. There was a laundry room on site at the end of the building that guests could use and pay for. This was a big inconvenience. The one towel per guest, and having to go to the laundry room at the end of the property, and pay to wash that one towel was odd.
