Beachfront resort offers fine dining and a full roster of activities
Gorgeous Gulf views, supersoft sands and elegant dining make the Sandpearl Resort experience one to remember. Guests unwind at The Spa at Sandpearl, or keep themselves moving with sand volleyball or parasailing. Spend an afternoon at the lagoon-style pool, where a calming waterfall and shady cabana might be all it takes to keep some guests entertained. Camp Ridley is specially designed for kids, but grown-ups can take part in resort activities, too -- astronomy, art and cooking are all part of the Sandpearl Resort experience.

Sand pearl

For the price paid at $300 plus per nite with a resort fee and required valet parking as the only option coupled with a staff that was plentiful but not genuine, this hotel is not a four star experience. And when we had a significant problem with valet that caused us to miss a dinner reservation across town, management did nothing out of the ordinary to recover with us. If you are going to Clearwater Beach choose the Hyatt Regency. We stayed there last year and will return there next year after this disappointing stay at Sandpearl Resort.

Everything a traveller could want

We were greeted at the entrance by friendly valets and right inside the front door by an aproned attendant offering a mimosa drink or wine. Very courteous desk check in receptionist greeted us and explained the layout. Gorgeous lobby with massive sand sculpture. Immaculately clean gulf view room with a balcony. Even the remote control for the tv had been sanitized. Room service breakfast order was tasty and prompt. I couldn't believe the reasonable cost for this luxury.

Happy 20th Anniversary

my wife and I love Clearwater Beach and have been visiting for years. We enjoy the Sandpearl location, spa, access to beach, food and entertainment. For the most part, the staff is very good...but sometimes there is an attitude we don't appreciate. That said, we will return and look forward to a future stay.

Frenchys has the best Grouper sandwiches on the beach! And Cooters has a great bar, awesome chicken wings and it's owned by a passionate Pittsburgh Steelers fan! Go Black and Gold.

Top shelf resort

this is a terrific property on a wonderful stretch of beach. The staff was great and provided mimosas upon check in ..... We showed up early and there was no issue with getting into the room right away. Kudos to all... We had a fantastic time

Great but pricey

We had a great time here. The hotel is beautiful and the staff was friendly and attentive. It's the best location in Clearwater for a beach vacation. Good day trips to Caledesi Island and Dunedin. The not so good: pricey. The rooms are a bit overpriced for what this is and then they tag you with $20 per day for valet parking--and of course a tip every time you take your car in or out. No washers so we sent out a normal load of laundry and dry cleaning: $200! If money is no object, this is a good choice.

Great beach hotel

Very nice hotel. I've stayed here a few times, it's probably the nicest property on the Beach. Only two complaints: They could improve on their beds as they are a bit too firm. The service in the Carreta restaurant was slow. I think the staff was short handed. At least this was the case for breakfast/lunch. Also their uniform tops were looking a bit dingy with some visible stains. I noticed this on more than one of the wait staff.

Ask to park offsite if you don't mind a short walk. You'll save $20/day on the valet only parking.

Great Stay!

My husband and I stayed at the Sandpearl for a few days after our wedding. Hotel is beautiful on one of Florida's best beaches. You can walk to some of the best casual dining restaurants in the area (we didn't move our car out of valet for 4 days...) and housekeeping always managed to slip in while we were out of the room. Staff was courteous and pleasant. We will definitely be back!
