When is the best time to go to South Gate Ridge?

During these months, you'll experience comfortable temperatures, generally ranging from 20°C to 28°C, with lower humidity and less chance of rain. This makes it ideal for enjoying outdoor activities, exploring the local attractions, and relaxing by the water.

Can I cancel my hotel reservation on Expedia?

If you have a non-refundable booking, it might still be possible to receive a refund if you cancel it within 24 hours of booking. Be sure to check your booking confirmation for the exact cancellation policy. For maximum flexibility, use our "Fully refundable property" filter during your search to find the right South Gate Ridge hotel for you.

Top South Gate Ridge Hotel Reviews

Carlisle Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Breakfast was just ok"

Tropical Breeze Resort

10/10 Excellent

"We had such an amazing stay at Tropical Cottages! I could not recommend this place enough and definitely see this becoming a regular vacation spot for our family. First off, the location could not be any better. You are literally steps away from the beach and a ton of restaurants! We had our 1 1/2 year old and carried him everywhere, so it was perfect to not have to wander too far to find what we needed. The beach here is UNBELIEVABLE. We grew up in South Florida and have been to several beaches throughout the state. This is 100% my favorite! The rooms were clean, comfy, and cozy. My only complaint (gotta have at least one!) is I wish there were hoses or showers outside the rooms so we could get the sand off our feet before going inside. Such a minor complaint. Everything was just so perfect about our stay and we cannot wait to return! Cannot recommend enough!!"

DoubleTree by Hilton Sarasota Bradenton Airport

10/10 Excellent

"Perfect location for our travel baseball team for the weekend. Close enough to the multiple locations we played at and near many different food options. The staff was nice and inviting. Breakfast was good and the hotel itself was well maintained."

The St. Regis Longboat Key Resort

10/10 Excellent

"St Regis Longboat Key is nothing short of amazing. The epitome of 5 star luxury. The property is absolutely beautiful and well maintained. The staff is exceptional at hospitality. They just get it. I’ve stayed at a lot of 5 star resorts and St Regis is one of the absolute BEST! It’s the small details of how they cater to you from the moment you drive on the property. Smooth transition from arrival, to check in, to check out. What stood out the most to me, which is something so simple, but they have the best turndown service of any hotel brand. I would recommend 100x and I cannot wait to return"
