Sandpearl Resort

We had a family reunion at the Sand Pearl the last week of May 2026. We had a lovely family dinner in the private dining room at Caretta’s on the gulf. Our two waiters Dane and William were awesome! Everything was perfect, dinner was delicious and everyone was happy! We were well taken care of by Angel at the front desk who gave me his cellphone number and I was able to ask questions and request a crib and early check-in which was great! Angel went above and beyond his lists of duties I’m sure. Beth Levis, the hotel’s event coordinator helped facilitate our special dinner noted above! Shout out to the Sand Pearl and all their fabulous staff that made our family reunion weekend wonderful!

Everything was great with our stay. The resort was exactly as expected. Thr only downfall is the shuttle was out of service for 2 days which was a major inconvenience for our family traveling with my two elderly parents. We incurred over $100 in Lyft fees after being stranded without a shuttle. We also originally tried the Jolly Trolly but it was too hard for them to get up and down on. We had never used Uber or Lyft but quickly learned. The resort also recommended using Scott with Clearwater Fishing Inshore for a fishing charter for our family of 6. DO NOT USE!!! Scott was supposed to follow up the night before with confirmation and never did. We had to reach out to him. Then we were told he was going to have a Captain Logan taken out not him. The next Morgan we met Captain Logan, great guy. When we reached the destination the trolling motor on the boat would not work and Logan said Scott’s equipment was always in horrible condition. It would not allow us to get where we need to at the mangroves to catch the red fish, he worked and tried so hard but we only caught 3. We finally left and went back into the bay and tried for trout and caught 5 trout and 2 catfish. All rods were set up for left handers, which made reeling difficult for our family, they also would not take us out as discussed and planned for near shore fishing. They only used 4 rods when there was 6 of us and we all had to hate and take turns. We were way over charged for this experience - even charged $200 extra for 6 people to go but the host and equipment was not even set up for 6. This was the biggest disappointment ever. I have been in many fishing charters and this was literally took advantage of us and was $850 worth of nothing but a boat ride. Shame on them!

Beautiful resort, friendly staff, fantastic beach! Enjoyed every moment here. Great restaurants walkable - like <5 min from the property. Exactly what we needed for ultimate relaxation, convenience with a great atmosphere.

Great location and amenities. Partial view room not worth it. Loved the beach and pool and could spend all day there! The staff was amazing and you cannot beat the beach. The pool area had plenty of chairs and we chose to stay here for most meals vs leaving the resort. The downside was our room. Paid extra for the “partial view”. We were on floor 4 and our view was of dumpsters with the scent to match. Couldn’t sit out there because of the smell. Disappointing.

Everytime that we visit The Sandpearl it is enjoyable. The resort is a special place. Amenities are always excellent as well as the staff/service. Highly recommend this resort!
