Sandpearl Resort

We stayed here 1st week of Nov and couldn't ask for better! The staff was incredibly kind and always smiling and greeted everyone! We were with a large group on a company trip and everyone agreed the service was impeccable! The resort itself is upscale, classy and has a grand entrance feeling upon arrival. We loved the piano playing while waiting by the elevators. The sugar scrub is a must try in the restrooms by the lobby, amazing! The property is right on the beach but keep in mind, it's a hike to the water if you're bringing your necessities to enjoy a day! Sunsets are insane to watch right out front and you can see dolphins early in the morning playing. The weather is unpredictable at this time of the year but I'll leave my review on that to help others.. the 1st few days were too cold to enjoy sunbathing but luckily the last few days were hot!.. also note I'm from Texas, it was hotter back home! Overall our stay was very enjoyable and it was nice to walk to local restaurants, bars and plenty of shopping! On our last day, I was warmly greeted by the most beautiful lady serving mimosas in the lobby, can't remember her name but I asked where she's from because she was so beautiful and she said, Iran, so please tell this lovely lady, thank you for making my day! It truly is the little things in life that bring the most joy and she is one of the kindest human beings!

Truly fantastic hotel. Have been visiting the Sandpearl Resort from the UK twice a year for many years. Truly fantastic hotel. Superb location, staff, food, service, views, rooms, cleanliness and amenities. My visit last week for 9 days again did not disappoint. Highly recommend. Can't wait to return again already booked for early next year. Caretta on the Gulf best restaurant on Clearwater Beach in my opinion.

We just finished a wonderful 6-night stay at the Sandpearl Resort, and once again it exceeded all expectations. The property is beautiful, clean, and truly one of the best spots on Clearwater Beach—but what really sets it apart is the staff. Everyone we interacted with was friendly, welcoming, and eager to help, making our stay feel effortless from start to finish. A special shout-out goes to Valentina at check in. She is an absolute gem! She always greets us with the warmest smile and somehow remembers us every time we return. Her kindness and professionalism make checking in feel like coming home, and it’s one of the reasons we keep choosing the Sandpearl Resort. We also really appreciated that Eric, the general manager, took the time to come over to us, he checked in to see if we needed anything and asked how our stay was going—such a thoughtful gesture that shows how much they truly care about their guests’ experience. Thank you for another amazing stay. We’re already looking forward to our next visit!

We have been to SandPearl for several years and it never disappoints. From the time you pull up to the portico, it is customer service is exceptional. The property is pristine and the food is amazing. You have a private beach with beautiful white sand and delightful heated pools! We love the SandPearl and now have family and friends who have adopted it as one of their favorites to visit as well! Enjoy your stay!

This was my sixth vacation at the Sandpearl. The location is within walking distance to many terrific restaurants and is on a beautiful beach. Every employee, especially Lucy at the front desk was positive, helpful. and friendly. I appreciated talking with the ladies handling the front doors who made me feel so welcome. The security guy at the pool did a great job checking wrist bands and was fun to chat with. The resort is spotlessly clean. Lunch at Tate Island Grill was delicious. The resort provided a runner's station each morning with water, snacks, and towels which I enjoyed after my daily 5 mile runs. The room was perfect and I loved the turn down service. The vibe is very positive at this resort. I'll be back!

Where do we start - the Sandpearl was AMAZING. The location was perfect, shops, restaurants and bars all around! Fabulous location with a shuttle to take you to where you wanted to go!|All the staff were AMAZING. From checkin to check out each staff member went out of their way to be welcoming, helpful , and friendly! When we checked in we were served champagne! wow! we were able to enjoy complimentary champagne throughout our stay.|The room was comfortable, large and comfortable with a coffee maker. We loved that the room had a coffee machine - we would sit on our balcony and sip our coffee! We had an accessible room because the other rooms were booked, the shower didn't have a ledge so the water would run over in the rest of the bathroom, however that was fine, the bathroom was large. We had a balcony and would sit on the balcony sipping our coffees. The only issue was that all the accessible rooms were on the side and our view was somewhat blocked by the wall on the left.|The room was SUPER CLEAN, housekeeping did a good job every day of cleaning it, but best of all they had a turndown service at night ! wow! they left us chocolates and daily inspiration notes. The rooms were quiet and well insulated so you never heard the person next door. |However, all the amenities in the room were beyond fantastic!! you could tell that you are staying at a hotel that is truly luxurious!|The wall did affect how much we enjoyed the view and balcony - we paid for a front view but part of it was blocked.|The blocked view didn't deter us from sitting out on the balcony! it was wonderful to sit there and enjoy our holiday|Sitting on the balcony sipping our champagne, coffee and just staring out to the ocean was so relaxing|The pool area was FANTASTIC - the staff would walk us to our chairs, put towels on them for us - there was a mix of chairs with umbrella's and some without. The pool had noodles, balls etc that you could use too which as great. So much fun!|The chairs on the beach are included in the resort fee - if you want an umbrella then that is $30. The service on the beach was amazing and the view of the ocean was fantastic. Other resorts charge extra for chairs and it was such a welcome change to not have to pay extra!!|The restaurants onsite are really great. We had a great Sunday brunch at Caretta on the Gulf for $60 per person, there was so much food and bottomless mimosas/Prosecco, the service and the food were both amazing!We also had dinner at Caretta's the dinner was delicious. On Saturday night the bar at Caretta's would have live music! |We ventured downtown on a few nights - the hotel has a shuttle service and the drivers were all so amazing, helpful and friendly!!! |So much fun!|We just can't wait to go back. On top of the most amazing service, we would get daily check in's by the staff on our phones asking how our stay was going and if we needed anything! |I've travelled all over the world and stayed at luxurious hotels, but this by far is the best hotel I have ever stayed at.|We can't wait to go back next year. Thank you to the entire staff for making our trip the best trip ever! we had so much fun.

My family stayed here for 4 nights and we were impressed. The staff was friendly and helpful when we wanted recommendations. The location is perfect... Great restaurants, a liquor store, and cvs pharmacy are all within 5 minute walk. The Clear Sky cafe across the street was delicious. Pier 60 is an easy 10 walk. The hotel offers a FREE shuttle up and down the main road all day through 10PM if you dont want to walk. There was a great daily activity sheet plus a welcome brochure with lots of information about local attractions. The resort has so many amenities that we enjoyed-- the spa was amazing as was the food. Many things were included such as kids breakfast buffet with the purchase of an adult buffet, bar service to the pool and beach was super quick, boogie boards and sand toys for the kids were available. They had smores and movies by the pool at night on the weekends. Its a private beach so it was nice and quiet. The rooms are spacious and clean- we stayed in 1 bedroom suite so we had a full kitchen and laundry, where they included tide & bounce. Housekeeping came 2x daily and when we called to request more pillows and blankets..they sent it up right away. We came here without a lot of plans besides relax at the pool & beach and we had a great time. We will definitely be back.

The best hotel in the area!!! The best service from the moment you get out of your car until you get to your room!!! The staff makes you feel at home! The rooms are impeccable. I went to decorate a room for a surprise for my client, and my client definitely made the best choice of suite to surprise his wife on her birthday!!! @party.place I would come back and recommend it a thousand times!!! Thank you…

Was very clean and great staff. Plenty of pool seating. The beach was great too. Food at Tate's was delicious.

My husband and I met two other couples at Sand Pearl for the weekend recently for my birthday. It was an excellent stay like always. This hotel still values the customer experience and it shows. The staff went above and beyond to make us feel special. They said "yes" to our requests where similar hotels say "no." I will always be grateful to Sand Pearl for going the extra mile and we will be back! Thank you for a great birthday!

Love this resort. But, The joe cocker musician every sat at tate's doesnt fit the resort vibe at all! Every single saturday. Yuck!

I accompanied my neighbor to Caretta's, one of the restaurant at Sandpearl resort for lunch as she was planning to have a small 15-person group party at the restaurant. We were seated outdoor to enjoy the prestige Gulf view. Although the service was slow but we were treated well. Food quality was superb not to mention the reasonable price for the location and view. After lunch, we met the catering coordinator, a nice young lady who took care the party arrangement. Two weeks later, we returned to Caretta's for the group lunch party. What my neighbor asked for was delivered and went beyond. Staffs were polite and fun to talk to. We were well taken care of. Each person ordered from a preset 3-course lunch menu. It was simple and delicious. I ordered grouper taco which I highly recommend for light eaters to try. Valet parking costs $ 25 with a Caretta's validated parking ticket. Overall, both of my visits were enjoyable. I will bring out of town guests here in the future for a simply joyful dining experience.

The hotel was spectacular! The rooms were spacious and clean, our balcony was HUGE with an incredible oceanfront view. The amenities were excellent, free gym access with a view, complimentary beach chairs which is amazing so you don't have to carry all the beach supplies. Switch between pool and beach instantly. The poolside service from Tate Island grill was incredible, fast , delicious and reasonably priced. The hotel wristbands were an absolute favorite no need to carry around a bag with a card, the wristbands gives you access to everything by conveniently tapping it to open doors. The beach was 200 feet away, right by the towel station. Marketplace inside the hotel had tasty snacks and quick breakfast options. Sandpearl is located centrally in the middle of all the action access to dozens of places to eat and shop. Their texting service was a great way to stay in touch with activities like nightly movie night at the pool or s'mores by the beach fire. You can request extra towels, bed etc via text. Checking out was super easy. The valet was pricey for hotel guest but you can always expect that across the board. Definitely would stay here again.

Generally speaking staying at the Sandpearl Resort was a great experience. The place feels new. The rooms are comfortable and quiet. If you get a room with a gulf view it is actually a wonderful view that you can enjoy on the private terrace. I did not use the pool, but it seems large enough for the people staying there. The beach experience is a little different from what I am used to. No, this isn't Miami. The sand is powder fine. The beach is very wide making service to the shore line impossible. Thus, is the huge gap between the Sandpearl chairs and the water a regulation or just practical? I don't know, and it really doesn't matter. Service is good on the beach. HOWEVER, when they say it takes about thirty minutes for them to make the rounds take that into account. The time between when you see someone no matter what the reason is going to be about that long for a full capacity layout. The food on the beach is excellent -- well, at least those grouper nuggets were. Wow! I want to have a fish and chips plate made with those! Anyway... Caretta on the Gulf was also a hit. So, if you just wanted to be lazy and stay 100% here that would actually work. With that said, the location seems to be great to just walk out and venture down the tourist town to explore as well. I wish they did a better job of explaining the logistics. Where are you supposed to get those wristbands before going to the beach? How do you reserve a chair ahead of time? Well, next time I can ask those questions via their text system but when you don't know what you don't know that doesn't work. Plus, the entire place feels just a little bit more pricey than the value received. It is not terrible, but it is certainly on the edge especially taking into account the valet fees.

Lovely stay at the Sandpearl! Beautiful hotel, wonderful pool and amazing beach. Concierge was super helpful and gave us great advice. Loved every minute!

Constant banging starting at 2:30 AM lasting till 5:30. every 20 minutes sounded like slamming door. My room was across the hall from a staff only supply room but I never saw anyone in the hall, I did not want someone in my room at 2:30 to wait for the slamming to reoccur/ A friend joined me for breakfast on Wednesday 9.10.2025 at Caretta's sitting inside was not possible as it was extremely cold no one was inside the restaurant. We were seated outside we were attacked by seagulls almost immediately after the food arrived. the waitress did not even offer to help with the mess on the table they remade the order and my friend ate standing up to not be attacked again. The manager could not be bother to even check on the diners. We were advised to put our heads over our plate to prevent the birds from getting to the food. I do not recommend dining or staying at this hotel.

I expected luxury and instead this place was unsafe, unsanitary, and wildly mismanaged. I am outlining every issue clearly and categorically: 1. Cleanliness & Housekeeping * Sheets were never changed the entire week. * The only toiletry provided was shampoo--no conditioner, lotion, body wash, or toothpaste. * The robe provided had visible stains. * Trash cabinet outside our room is broken and slams against my legs every time I open it. Despite repeated complaints, it was never fixed. It has severely bruised up my legs, and despite multiple complaints, it still hasn't been repaired. * Trash regularly piles up outside our room balcony , attracting bugs and the smell from the trash being left open all days smells horrible. There was a noticeable bug problem in and around the room. * Shared microwave offered as the only heating option was unsanitary for a property of this level. 2. Room Condition & Safety Hazards * The shower does not drain properly--I slipped and fell, and have had itchy, irritated feet ever since from standing water. * The hot tub had rocks inside, which caused me to rip off a toenail. * Alarm clock went off at 4 AM in my today here without reason. * Elevator doors close with force, posing a safety risk--especially to children. * Room phone never worked--I was left a handwritten note about it, but never received a solution. Without a working phone, I had no access to room service or emergency communication. * Sink in the bathroom is so tall my kids couldn't use it. * Fridge had no freezer compartment. * The outdoor movie system never worked, and there were no servers or food service available as advertised. No kid activities offered. 3. Resort Layout Flaws & Family Safety * Balconies are not private--they connect side-to-side, creating a safety concern for children and zero personal space. * There is no safe way to exit the property with a stroller--the only sidewalk ramp leads directly into the street without a proper buffer, which is terrifying with small kids. * Despite advertising beach access, this is not a private beach, just beachfront exposure. 4. Staff Conduct & Professionalism * I raised serious concerns and was offered a 9:07 PM in-room meeting with a male manager--instead of a daytime or professional office discussion. As a woman traveling with children, this felt inappropriate, unsafe, and coercive. That alone would have justified a refund. * I asked multiple times for a formal way to speak with general management--I am still waiting. * I was told "service unavailable" after sending a detailed written complaint. The lack of response was unacceptable. * A staff member even ran over my foot with a trash cart, and there was no incident report or follow-up. 5. Security & Grounds * The resort gate is often left open, allowing unauthorized individuals and even squatters to access the grounds. * Wristbands are not enforced, so people can walk freely around the resort without being guests. * Police were seen on site during our stay--no communication was provided as to why. * There is an exposed electrical panel located next to active sprinklers, which poses a serious fire or shock hazard, especially to children. Conclusion This property is not luxury--it is poorly maintained, dangerously designed, and operated with a disturbing lack of accountability. Management failed to offer meaningful solutions or even basic respect for guest safety. Travelers, especially families, deserve to know the truth about Sandpearl. This is not a resort--it's a liability.

We had a nice stay. Clean and good service. I visited the spa for a massage and it was excellent! Beaches were pretty.

Sandpearl Resort is a coastal dream come true! The sparkling Gulf views and soft beach light make every moment feel like magic, especially at sunset. Plus, the team is incredible--they make everything run so smoothly for both the couple and us vendors.

Absolutely amazing stay and vacation! Customer service and attention to detail at their best!

Great food, location, staff, and valet. Beautiful hotel and facilities. I definitely recommend this hotel

That a great place, best room I've ever stayed in, two bedroom two bath, balcony's, great kitchen very very nice, best beach in the United States, plenty of eating places across the street and on property.

My family and I have visited this Opal hotel twice now. Once in the spring and once in June. Both stays were excellent. The hotel is clean, staff is courteous and helpful, the pool is well taken care of and the beach beautiful. Every dining option is within walking distance, including the 5 star restaurant within the resort. Our suite included a well equipped kitchen and living room with a comfortable queen pull out couch. The king bed in the bedroom was like sleeping on a cloud and the large bathroom was perfect for a family of three. We will continue to stay at the Sandpearl any time that we visit Clearwater!

This is the review of someone who doesn't go to beach resorts often. If you read my Disney Resort reviews, I'd consider myself a budding expert, but beaches I got nothing. So maybe a $42 valet charge is the norm, but that was surprising for a non beach goer like me. Read this review as someone who stays at the beach maybe once or twice a year and every other time it's at Longboat Key Resort (which actually is another Opal Resort). Location: Amazing. It's right on the beach and like five minutes to the pier. You're at the heart of Clearwater Beach. We walked to Frenchy's on the beach. You really can't beat this location. Price: It feels like they nickel and dime you. Valet is $42, no choice for self parking, and Beach Chairs are $30. The rooms aren't cheap and there is a resort fee so I'm surprised it isn't included. Food Options: Top notch. I loved my breakfast and dinner at Caretta's on the Gulf and we drank a couple pitchers from the pool bar. It's so nice to have good options on property. Pool: The pool is nice, however, it's hard to find chairs. They get taken quickly. We had to share a chair at one point because we couldn't find two together. I love that they have flags so you can raise yours when you want service. The servers are great, we had Elaine who is a real gem. She was personable and on it. If anyone at Sandpearl is reading this, give Elaine a raise. Room: The room was very nice. It had HUGE ceilings. Higher than even at my house. It made the room feel big. We had a balcony looking out the beach, which was nice to sit on. Atmosphere: The lobby and the rest of this hotel is beautiful. I love the self playing piano in the lobby. Miscellaneous: You can't have coolers at the pool or on their private beach. I understand the pool, but that's kind of annoying on the private beach. So you can walk a couple steps to be on the public beach and have a cooler, but if you want to rent the hotel's chairs you can't have the cooler.

The Sandpearl is our family's favorite hotel anywhere. It's always a treat to spend time there. The staff is amazing. The facilities are well-kept and always clean (pool, pool bathroom, rooms, lobby, beach, etc.). There are usually daily activities for kids including toys for the beach and playing sports like soccer, football, and ping pong. Matt and the pool staff are the best. They have loads of pool floats. Other cool things - a table for runners near the lobby with drinks & routes, a very nice gym with 2 pelotons, and a Steinway playing piano in the lounge. There are also 3 places to eat at the hotel - a mini-Starbucks, a pool grill (Tate's), and a nice restaurant (Caretta's). It's also adjacent to great restaurants (Clear Sky and Frenchies). The place treated us very well during a hurricane evacuation by the county, refunding us our rooms when the county forced the evacuation. Always a treat to go to this place!

I can't say enough great things about this resort!! The service was exceptional, the rooms were nicely up to date. The beach is amazing!! A lot of shops & restaurant within walking distant. I will come back to this resort every year.

Sandpearl Resort was a very great,family friendly resort. this resort had plenty of activities and aspects, they have an easter egg hunt, camp ridley (hangout for kids) how manny jellybeans contest, pool, and beach. the pool is very big and can get crowded but certain sections aren't as crowded, they have a big movie screen that plays at night with movies like zootopia and the lorax.the menu was very diverse with many different options for kids and adults. the location was great and they had many restaurants and shops right down the street including starbucks,dunkin, many pizza places and stores like cvs and surf style. overall i would 100% come back here.

Have been coming here 2-4 times a year for many years (we are locals).We won't be returning. With rainy day yesterday, we wanted to watch tv and a movie. TV service was out. When finally restored we still could not access tv guide or purchase a movie. A guy came up & said this problem was ongoing & helped me stream Netflix from my phone. After 10 min. we lost the connection & went to bed. Then a loud noise started from the wind & continued all night. Also, the coffee machine was notworking. I called to report & Russell said he would send up another machine. The a large coffee service arrived with $12.00 charge. I am the only coffee drinker in the room, so wasted most of pot. No ice in ice maker either. Even though the M remodeled suites are nice, for $2,000 per night we were disappointed with the problems. Guess we will be moving down to south beach next time.

Dream vacation. Clean, recently redone rooms, lovely view, beach spots for days. I cannot express how lovely this trip was for my boyfriend and I. Great service, they made sure you were not without anything. Offered champagne and water at the door as soon as we walked in.

Staff was very friendly, and the beach and pool were nice, although a few things seemed out of order.

We shared a suite with a friend for a wedding we attended. I would never ever be able to justify the cost by myself but was glad to go halvsies bc it was absolutely gorgeous! Parking was painless using the valet service, but not cheap. The grounds are beautiful. I didn't get a chance to go swimming but it looks like the pool has really nice chairs with awnings, never seen that before. There are also privste cabana areas for rent. It's right on the beach and across the street from entertainment, bars and food. The room had TWO balconies, one off of the master and one off of the living room. There was a full kitchen and dining area as well as washer and dryer in the bathroom closet. The bathroom was huge! Large tub and seperate shower stall, lots of floor space... probably the size of my kitchen at home lol. We requested a cot and it got delivered no problem. If you have the $$$ to stay here you can't go wrong.

If I could give them more stars I would. This place is amazing and so special for my husband and me. We try to go on special vacations. From the moment you walk in and check in until the moment you head back home and check out everyone everyone goes above and beyond to make sure you are happy and taken care of. Every morning they have fresh mimosas set up in the lobby of the resort. There is pool and beach service to order delicious drinks and food. If you have children, there are tons of activities Every day for them, including movies at the pool every night. We have stayed in their regular room and we have stayed in the one bedroom suite, both, beautiful, and the most comfortable bed. The one bedroom suite is awesome because it has a full kitchen dining area living room. Of course the bedroom and the bathroom has a washer and dryer. The only place we did not go to in the hotel was there nice restaurant called Carreta's on the beach but I have heard it is wonderful. Again, I could not recommend this place enough. If you were ever in Clearwater Beach it is a must go. It is very expensive, but if you sign up for their emails, they do specials for half price sometimes.

Enjoyed myself immensely at this resort! The views, service, and attention is all top-notch. Recommend Sandpearl for sure!

As soon as Florida reopened we made a bee line to Sandpearl Resort. We were so excited to return!! Our last visit was 5 years ago and it was as if time stood still when we arrived. Everything was clean, beautiful, and classy. The staff remains focused, friendly and helpful. So what is it like to vacation at Sandpearl during a pandemic? That answer is two fold. One is about Sandpearl. Upon arrival, the valet were wearing face masks, they paper your seats, take your luggage and open the resort doors. The last time I was there valet parking was complimentary if you were a guest, now they charge $25.00 (plus tip!). The moment you step through the doors social distancing floor markers are everywhere. At check in, they are wearing face masks. They give you a brand new pen to sign all of your paperwork and tell you to keep the pen for sanitary reasons. Your paperwork includes a short COVID19 survey that asks approximately 20 questions about you, if your symptomatic, etc. What I found remarkable was that the questionnaire targets the person checking in, not the rest of your group? They are not required to fill out this COVID19 survey. Why not??? Our room was beautiful!! We had a pool gulf view. Sitting on the balcony was relaxing and the sunset views were priceless. Just as we remembered it. We had two incidences that should have never happened to us. It was a problem that was overlooked twice in a row. The only reason why I'm not spelling it out is because management graciously fixed the problems beyond our satisfaction. This resort gets 5 Stars for their customer service. The second part of this review is about the people. The resort was doing their part but the guests seemed unaware that there's a pandemic going on. The elevator space was constantly full and uncomfortable. The pool area was extremely crowded. Every single chair was taken. The pool itself was full of people and children shoulder to shoulder. Drinks and food was being served by Tate Island Grill (emphasizing the handling of food & money). There was absolutely no social distancing in place and no face masks. The mindset was vacation mode. FYI The beach was just as crowded. Checking out was easy. But before we left we wanted a few drinks ToGo. Their little cafe use to be a Starbucks the last time we were there. Nope, its gone! We tried to order an orange juice, a frappe and a Keto friendly coffee. The service, communication and the drinks themselves were awful! TIP: go next door to get coffee and breakfast. Our overall experience was positive. We will definitely wait to return when there's no longer a contagious virus. If your going to travel during this pandemic you have to make the decision to be ok with the majority of people around not doing their part.

Staying at the Sandpearl now and it's very disappointing. We arrived at lunchtime and went to the beach restaurant ordered edamame, chicken wings and coconut shrimp. (All appetizers) the food took over an hour to come out and the shrimp was cold. Then we had a dinner reservation at 8PM which we couldn't make on time because we had no hot water ‍WTF Finally made it to dinner ordered dinner and it took over an hour for entrees which came out terrible. My husbands chicken was cooked to death and my fish was cold an undercooked. The restaurant manager thought it was funny apparently because he didn't say much and just laughed. So basically it's 11 O'clock PM and no edible food ? I just don't get it‍

Love this place, nicest resort in Clearwater Beach. Very clean throughout, great staff always friendly. Good location wishing walking distance to Pier 60 and restaurants and bars. Carretta restaurant in the hotel has great food with a phenomenal sunset view. The beach speaks for itself one of the nicest beaches in the world.

This resort was quite the let down in a lot of ways mostly the service. We stayed here for my husbands 40th birthday and we stayed in an oceanview room which was a nice room but nothing to write home about. We had screaming kids next door which was awful. I alerted the front desk and they laughed, apparently paying $500 a night for a room and hearing 3 kids screaming is okay. Poolside service was incredibly slow. It took over 30 min to get a drink or food. I understand they were busy but they definitely needed more help. When I would go to the bar to get my drink our server seemed upset but I said I don't want to wait 30 min for a glass of wine and have it come back to me warm. The service definitely needed help. People also reserved chairs first thing in the morning by putting all their crap on there so when other guests came to the pool you couldnt find a spot. I also didnt see any attendants checking the chairs to make sure if they were open or being used. It was pretty dirty. One day I rented us a cabana which was probably one of the worst cabanas experiences I've had. The cabana was filthy, there was food all over the floor and we didn't have our own server so again we had to chase down drinks and food all day. The fan in our cabana was broken as well. I would definitely skip this. Private beach with lounge chairs but umbrellas not included. This was a cheap move. Just include the umbrellas. We ate dinner at Caretta on the gulf and the food was great but once again the service was horrible. Our drinks took over 30 min to get and they were all watered down since they had been sitting at the bar. Our server had a huge attitude and it being my husbands 40th birthday it wasn't okay. The resort was beautiful but the service was lacking big time. For the amount of money you pay to stay there the service should be top notch.

Love love love this place! Its paradise! So relaxing and beautiful! The staff are all helpful and nice. The beach is literally right there. You can spend the day relaxing at the pool or go right to the beach just steps away.

We had lunch at the pool restaurant today. Service was outstanding from the very start. We had the Greek wrap and the grouper sandwich. I don't know which one was better. Fresh, delicious ingredients and amazing taste. Every detail was on point. Thank you for making this our new go to lunch spot on Clearwater Beach.

Great location and gorgeous resort. Pool area was spacious and clean. Access to the beach is easy and convenient. The beach is just perfect! The rooms are a little outdated and the hotel lobby and hallways were extremely cold but, overall this is a beautiful resort with great amenities and plenty of activities for the kids!

This is a very lovely place. When I got there, I was super hungry and had to jump onto a sales call. I grabbed some peanuts that were in room service. After a few bites, I realized they had expired 8 months ago. When the hotel texted to check up on me, I mentioned the food. They were so kind about it and sent me up some fruit and avocado, which was an AWESOME gesture! The hotel overall was really nice: - Check in was a breeze (and I needed it to be because my plane was delayed. I was in and out in a few moments and there were even welcome drinks that I didn't partake in) - The lobby is lovely - There are great food options at the marketplace downstairs, even for low carb options (olive / feta cheese - YUM!) - Turndown service is great and includes chocolates - the BEST PART! One night I told the maids I didn't need the service because I was going to bed early, but she still handed me the chocolates. ;) ;) ;) - The bed is sublimely comfortable - Room service is amazing - it's connected to the high-reviewed restaurant next door and was SUPER good and very fast. - The beach in the back is beautiful and they have lots of different games to play and things to do. I went here for a conference and asked the organizer if we could come back. It was a great experience!

The Sandpearl Resort is my favorite hotel! I've been coming here for years and have always had a 10/10 experience. From the complimentary champagne at check in to the poolside service, everything is amazing. I love that the pool is so close to the ocean, which isn't the case with most other hotels on Clearwater Beach. Tate's on the beach and Caretta's are both great restaurants. I love the location and being on this side of the beach, it's much less busy than the other side of the pier. Everything is still walking distance. Great for families with kids, couples, friends, etc! Can't wait to come back.

First trip for my sister, her boyfriend and I to Clearwater, LF and out of our homes in 3 months in general... Could not be happier or pleased with the customer experience service we had, especially with Elaine and Dan, and the overall resort experience. Beautiful resort, attentive staff to ensure we had the best experience, even though we were during a pandemic. And wow - what a resort. Photos of the rooms, beach and pool areas, etc. don't do it justice! Highly recommend staying here!! Thank you, ELAINE, Cody, Dan, Jordan, Andrew, Price, Axel and Elaina for making our stay SO lovely!!

If i can give 0 stars i would... everything from valet to checkout was terrible.. everyone acted like they was inconvenienced to do there JOB!!.. i heard 2-3 racial slurs whispered when walked away there toilet literally broke a pipe and leaked all over expensive toiletry bags.. managers was even worse then staff.. i didn't even finish my stay from how disgusted i was.. everything and i mean everything there is overly priced nothing is included with stay not even the pool chairs!!!! Worst worst worst!!!! DONT FORGET THE BUGS THAT BIT ME WHILE SLEEPING THERE SEE PICS!!

Gorgeous setting with attention to detail and style. The majestic Gulf of Mexico welcomes you as soon as you enter. They give a nod to their prime beach location with their decor but it is very tastefully done. Greeters welcome you. Champagne at check in. Easy valet. Walk the beach in the morning. Sit by the resort style pool during the day with food and beverage service, dine at Caretta for dinner. You never have to leave! They checked on my welfare via text throughout the stay. I liked that. This is not a typical beach chain hotel, and I like that the best.

The staff here are atrocious. Was constantly barraded with security insisting I didn't belong here, constantly asking for my name and room number, yet never checking any sort of database to "verify" we had a booking like they insisted they were doing. Just walking up with their smug attitude, saying "you don't look like you belong here" and then insisting that we go through the verification process... honestly ruined the whole experience.

The service from the staff is exceptional which is hard to only give 3 stars but the amenities at a higher end resort frustrated us. The beach is private yet you still have to pay a minimum of $29 to reserve a chair on the beach.

I can't add an actual video of the room. let's just say this For $544.00 a night - if you think a gulf view looks like this and that's what your willing to pay for- the sound of a pool waterfall below- Have at it.- Updated. The customer service is unparalleled. They have moved my room to the 6th floor. Five star service. All day, every day, I will pay for this type of customer service.

TLDR: upscale beach resort experience. Great for families and couples alike. We had a great little getaway at this beautiful resort. We really enjoyed the warm welcome complete with champagne, a kids drink & even a sand pail for the kids! We used the valet rather than finding parking on the beach and this made arrival and checkout super simple and convenient. Our room was nice had a very classic look to it and beds were comfortable. The only draw back is our balcony room had a partial view of the beach and a partial view of the garbage area of the hotel. When you select beach view you really expect a bit more of a beach view. The pool was large with kind staff at the pool bar where we ordered dinner while the children continued to swim and play. The beach area has plenty of chairs and umbrellas or cabanas to rent. The morning buffet, though a bit pricey, was really full of variety and had a great calm upscale vibe. The omelette were delicious! It was a quick stay but one I would definitely return to again!

Matt at the activities desk was so rude. We have bands for the beach and was asking where we could find towels. He denied giving us towels because we were not staying at the hotel. Matt was not helpful and did not exhibit polite customer service behavior.

Myself and my daughter stayed here for three days and two nights in July as a mother/daughter vacation. It was spectacular! I want to specifically mention one of the managers, Lee, and one of the front desk associates, Lucy. They were both incredibly nice and accommodating. Thank you both for making our experience even better. All the staff, from valet, to resort, to spa, to eating spots, were wonderful! Everyone was so pleasant! I have only positive things to say. I highly recommend this location as a yearly vacation destination! I am now! The resort, the spa, the beach...all beautiful. While there and after you leave, you will feel relaxed and joyous!

This is an amazing property! I have never enjoyed a resort property more. Amazing staff. Just a great place all around.

My family and I have been coming here for about 5 years now, staying at least twice a year and visiting the brunch and Tates various times a year. Yesterday on Father's Day we booked our rooms and experienced the following at Tates: My father did his first round to the bar to pick up some beers and the waiter Jordan kept claiming he didn't understand him, mind you my fathers English isn't prolific but it's very comprehensible, that was a tiny hiccup that seemed to brush off his shoulders but the second round to the bar, I decided to join him to ask for our drinks, Jordan walked past many times and looked at us , didn't acknowledge our waiting, served a group of men to my right, they checked out and a new group appeared and they where served before us as well. I made our appearance known and I politely tried grabbing Jordan's attention which was met with a condescending manner on his behalf. The whole encounter gave an essence of prejudice and the men to my right spoke up and told the manager "yes we got here well after them and already were served", not to mention Jordan decided to "cut us off" and not because we were inebriated but because it was too challenging on his ego to be called out on his predisposed opinions on people and their differences. Sandpearl has always been a classy place to go and it would be a shame to see it dwindle because of a bartender/waiter that just doesn't know how to be pleasant and is plainly just arrogant and intolerant.

We had such a wonderful experience here! I had read so many wonderful things about the famous Opal Sands hotel at the beautiful Clearwater beach. So I had it on my list of places I want to visit for a while. We were ready to book for our anniversary in July but like a true Yelp Elite, I did my thorough research and decided that the nearby Opal property Sandpearl Resort is a better fit for our family. 1) They actually have a private beach and offer beach chairs. At Opal Sands you have to fight with the general public for a spot on the beach as it is a public beach with an outside company renting chairs to everyone. 2) I read it was more kid-friendly and we were traveling with our toddler 3) I read it has a bigger pool. I was so glad about his decision. The hotel was so classy and beautiful. Upon arrival, they served us complimentary mimosas and beach buckets for the kids. There were plenty of fun activities for kids such as balloon art and a mega bubbles event as well as a movie under the stars every night and s'mores by the fire. We had breakfast included in our room rate. The breakfast buffet was amazing and staff was friendly.

This is a wonderful hotel very neat very clean very pristine. The staff is really great everybody's been super friendly. I would say the most aggravating thing though if you're in your room is the constant maid service. However part of that's my fault because I didn't realize that on the mail sign that if you flipped it it said privacy please. I should've had this hanging outside the door so that's my fault. However The positive part of the maid services that they are very attentive to your room and have a wonderful turn down service. Also if you need extra towels or condiments for the coffee they're always there willing to help. The rooms are beautiful well-maintained. I would highly recommend staying in this hotel. They have wonderful restaurants a great little coffee area that has tasty pastries.

Ok, but balcony is unusable. We specifically requested a balcony with a view. The view includes some beach but also a parking lot and construction site. It's so loud from construction, I can not even open the door to the balcony. They did say that for another $100 I could get a balcony that's not extremely loud. The room is average. A luggage rack would be a great addition though. There is a public beach adjacent, but it is pretty packed. Otherwise, hotel is fine.

Went there as a last minute check-in so kids could be on beach. Staff was excellent and service at pool was great....will return gladly.
