Sandpearl Resort

Easy to maneuver with kids or older adults bc it isn’t too spread out, but it still has a nice resort feel and you don’t have to leave. Family friendly for sure with activities for kids. There are a lot of restaurants in the immediate vicinity too.

I will say the location is wonderful ! Just BEWARE if you are traveling as a family you may be rooms if not floors apart. Booked this hotel 5 months ahead of time with 2 junior ocean front suites requested close together when we got there to check in we were on different floors. They said that was all they had. They did move one room the next day to the same floor but we were two different sections away. Really didn’t help at all. Just saying there more worried about conference people than family vacations. Manager didn’t seemed concerned at just said that’s the way it is. It kinda is a big deal if that’s your main goal to have a nice family vacation.

Such a great resort with a private beach, great pool, ambience, etc. We make this an annual trip for our family and the kids love it!

I have been coming there for 14 years. The service at the pool this time was pretty inconsistent. Had to go up and get my own soda several times because it took so long for chair service and most flags were broken. The waiters would NOT bring me ice water. They pointed me to the fruit water several times, which I think is gross. Then to the water bottle filling station. I finally had to find the ice machine and bring a cooler and cups down and water from the room. I thought that was ridiculous given the fact that we ordered food, soda and drinks every day from Tates. Additionally, listening to the hammering on the new walkway and power tools and smelling the gas from the tools every day while trying to eat or relax at the pool kind of took away from the beach atmosphere and we couldn’t hear the music at all unless we were sitting AT Tate’s. The pool area is what we love the most and it wasn’t exceptional this time for the nightly rate of almost $800. Other little things I noticed, the bellman/valet attendants rarely opened the doors or offered us water or greeted us. These all sound like little things, but in the past these are the little touches that have kept me coming back though there are other nice places that are much less expensive. The Sand Pearl is absolutely beautiful and a lovely place to stay, but I hope they bring back the small things that make a big difference.

The service was absolutely outstanding and provided with genuine sincerity. After a late flight and check-in at around 1:am I was surprised to learn that my credit card did not like the fact I was in Florida. With the help of the gentleman at the front desk, we were finally able to check in due to his assistance in resolving what was nobody‘s problem but mine. Angel, who works the front desk also went above and beyond and making sure my wife had a desperately needed item that was difficult to fly with. I was absolutely stunned at his level of service. Thank you Angel, you have no idea. The gentlemen that handled valet parking were amazing. Always smiling always wanting to make sure everything was prompt and on point with a stellar attitude. The cleanliness of the hotel is unmatched in my opinion. The attention to detail was amazing and the atmosphere is warm and inviting. Often I simply enjoyed setting in the luxurious lobby drinking morning coffee . The turn down service was a really nice touch that I was not expecting. The gentleman who works the pool area setting up your chairs was such a nice guy it was not about to let me do it on my own. I really appreciate that. We have been frequent guest at Clearwater Beach for close to 20 years but this was our first trip to Sand Pearl and I wish I would’ve tried it years ago. All I have thought about is returning since the day I stepped off my flight returning home. One of the nicest stays I’ve ever experienced. I’ve been fortunate in my life to stay at many fine resorts but I have never stayed anywhere where the effort was so sincere and obvious. Thank you for going above and beyond.
