Full-service resort on 600 ft of private beach on the Gulf of Mexico featuring 2 restaurants, lounge with live entertainment.
Well located just south of St. Armands Circle, the Helmsley has both proximity to downtown attractions and 600 feet of private white-sand beachfront. The decor is a few years old and modest, but so are the prices—$103 in the off season for a room with two double beds; slightly over $200 in high season—a good value. There’s a coffee shop and pool bar on site, plus a lounge and the more formal Candlelight Restaurant and Lounge (though not so formal that you can’t bring the kids, if you’ve got them). If you can, reserve an oceanfront ground floor room; they have a small seating area outside just steps from the beach that’s a great place to have coffee and breakfast in the morning. The beach on this part of Lido Key does have some shells right at the surf line, but for the most part, the it’s pillowy, sugar-white sand.
