The pool. People would go down at 7am to claim chairs and not come back for hours. You were not allowed to have your own drinks at the pool or on Beach(had to purchase their drinks). Not allowed to have a little speaker on the beach or pool.

The location was great. Right on the beach. Could walk or jump on Trolley.

The balcony door was very difficult to open, and the city view was not great. The rooms were not soundproof. I could hear everything in the hallway. Also, the parking was $40 per day and valet only. But overall, it was a good experience.

This resort was very luxurious. The staff was accommodating and the rooms were very clean!!! The private beach was well maintained and easy to access. The location is perfect, easy walking access to everything. The resort had a lot more i just did not have time to enjoy it all.

Overpriced

Very nice property with private beach, but the food is very overpriced and drinks are very very overpriced and the pool is always very crowded. Not to be able to swim comfortably. And the hotel has only two restaurants which is not that great One restaurant inside and one poolside Grill We paid $1800 for two nights which I thought was crazy

The pool was always overcrowded during our stay, and unfortunately, we weren’t able to use it any of the days. It was disappointing, as it was one of the amenities we were most looking forward to.

I really liked the entire structure of the place — especially the beach, the pool, and the room. Everything was clean, comfortable, and well maintained.

I like everything. I loved Sandpearl, for me, it is the best hotel in the area.

I wish the pool staff had been friendlier. At times, we felt unnoticed, and some interactions—particularly at the bar and the activity desk—were disappointing. The staff at the pool bar, in particular, didn’t come across as welcoming. My kids asked for some ice, and the response they received made them uncomfortable. It almost felt as though we shouldn’t have asked or paid for the service in the first place. After that, they didn’t want to return, which was frustrating—especially at a hotel that’s marketed as kid-friendly. We also didn’t have our room cleaned for two out of the three nights of our stay. We specifically requested cleaning before 11 a.m., but that didn’t happen. While I appreciate that the staff still tried to clean the room as late as 6 p.m., by that time we were already back in the room and it wasn’t convenient. The pool itself is smaller than expected, especially considering the size of the hotel, and you really feel that during high season—particularly in the morning. The pool staff does make an effort to free up sunbeds and prevent guests from reserving them without actually being there, but even by 10 a.m., around 100% of the sunbeds were already taken, often with no one in sight. One of the main reasons we chose this hotel was for its direct beach access, which was indeed a highlight—the beach is beautiful and well-maintained. However, we were surprised by the pricing for sunbeds: $40 for a single sunbed, $30 for a umbrella, and up to $120 for larger setups. Given the limited space and challenges at the pool, it would have been nice if basic beach access amenities were more accessible or included.

The rooms are really clean and nicely maintained, and the location is top-notch—very convenient and central. The lobby staff was also very welcoming, which we appreciated.

Elevators were slow. Despite being a pet friendly hotel, the pet relief area was not conveniently located. While this is a gorgeous property and a premium is to be expected for a beachfront location, the nightly rate still felt pricey. Beach chairs were extra and sold out early (also to be expected, but still). The pet contract states that a staff member is required to come and walk through the room before checkout/departure. The front desk person knew nothing about this.

This is a beautiful property right on award-winning Clearwater Beach. The area is still finalizing recovery efforts from the 2024 hurricanes, but everything at the property itself was back up and running. Staff were mostly knowledgeable and helpful. The hotel is pet friendly, and we brought our dog with us. Our dog was gifted a small care package with treats, a pet bowl, and a branded pad for a bed. That was a really nice touch!

Very warm welcome on arrival by the valet guy (BJ) I think he was called who has worked here 15years. Really helpful and friendly. Reception staff friendly and professional on arrival. Expected us as last to check in late. Lovely spacious room

Well the room I was out in was a view of roof and smell of garbage. I have stayed before and multiple rooms at a time viewing the ocean front. So it was a bit disappointing that they could not move us.

All is great there

The hotel charges too much for the beach chairs and tents. The swimming pool is tiny for the hotel's capacity.

The only disadvantage was the stress around getting a chair at the pool for my mother that was convenient due to early risers saving chairs. The staff did their best to deal with this.

The resort was beautiful! Great access for my 89 year old mother. Staff was friendly and responsive.

Not receiving a bill from beach server. I don’t like just filling out a form and adding a pre tip. I want to sign for my bill and decide a tip amount based in service.

Beautiful clean room.

Can’t think of anything. Shower water pressure could have been stronger.

We liked the food at the pool/ beach and the drinks.
