Clearwater Beach Marriott Suites on Sand Key

Resort

Awesome place! Beautiful view, beautiful rooms, comfortable bed, pool was fun with entertainment! Only thing was the walls were super thin but we put our TV on and all was good.

Beautiful experience — loved everything about our vacation stay at Clearwater Beach Marriott on Sand Key! Thank you especially to Mikel the personal concierge — 100 attention to every detail from super glue to Bush gardens tickets to photos — loved every minute! Mark and Cari Spiecker.

We were there for 5 days, early November. Amazing service at the pool (Jason and towel service. Especially for the gentleman who helped us set up a mini class Saturday workout, gave us bottle waters, helped arrange and just super nice. Rooms were large, hair dryer died 2nd day and they quickly gave came to replace with brand new dryer. Cleaned daily and timely. American breakfast was delicious with fresh omelette, pancakes and smoked salmon. Love love the Convenience of the free Trolly to the pier, marina, shops and restaurants. Lastly, short dock walk to Shorty’s market for essential (wine, sunscreen and water, best coffee), delicious breakfast at Maggie Mays. Highly recammand for family event, reunion or just romantic gateway.

If you need or want a nice bathroom, wider than the basic space for a toilet, forget it. We were told they are all the same, so this is it. Ugh. You can reach virtually everything in the room from the toilet. It has c. 6 sq ft of space. (That’s 2’ x 3’). It’s ridiculously tiny.

It is a full service hotel that makes the most of its footprint. Water views from the front and back of your room. Great staff and pool area. Good location too.

The customer service and facility were beyond amazing. I will be staying here again. 🏖️🌊🐚

This Marriott had the nicest employees, great views and clean, large rooms.

Excellent experience, definitely recommend. We stayed at hotel Aug 2022. Rooms are nice, pool is nice, hotel service was Great! The trolley picks up at the hotel and is free. Had live music during the weekend. The pool bar staff is Fantastic. Housekeeping service was excellent. The Valets we're very friendly and helpful! Do not recommend Watercolour restaurant inside. Had bad service and a rude waiter Marc R. We had to pay the check upon ordering our food or receiving our food. Not sure if that their policy but I wanted coffee after and would have needed to do another bill so we just ate and left. Terrible experience wouldn't recommend that restaurant. But hotel was Great!

Good restaurant they have.

We had such a wonderful experience. Everything truly is "resort style" and beautiful. Perfect for families or for couples. One thing that really stood out to us was the friendliness and helpfulness of all of the staff. The culture is warm, and inviting and they really go above and beyond to take care of their clients. This is something that is so lacking these days in so many industries. Their customer care is top notch. We planned to venture out during our stay but everything at this property was so perfect that we didn't go out much. The rooms were great, the restaurants were fabulous, service was impeccable, the pool and outside service was amazing. There are great shops next door. Everything was great and we will definitely be back.

Great time and good experience all around. Staff was first class. I’d say the best attraction was, Lisa, the parrot 🦜!

Great rooms. Huge pool with plenty of lounges. No need to wake up at the crack of dawn to get a couple if lounge chairs. Beautiful setting on the Bay. Beach directly across street. Perfect!

Very family friendly. Paid for an ocean front view but got stuck with a view of the pool instead (not the same! ) which upset my wife but, aside from that, we had a very pleasant experience here.

My husband and I booked a stay here while enjoying our first vacation since the pandemic. Our daughter and 15 month old grandson joined us. From the minute we arrived we received fantastic service from all staff and especially enjoyed meeting Wilmer at Concierge who made us feel like we were friends. We would recommend that anyone travelling with children stay here and enjoy the heated pool and splash pad which we thoroughly enjoyed in early March. Our grandson loved meeting in-house mascot Lisa the Macaw 🦜 The suites were beautiful and fully accommodated us while our grandson also had a private room to nap. The views were amazing while we enjoyed our morning coffee on our poolside balcony. We will definitely be returning 💚

Very friendly and knowledgeable staff.

We had the absolute best server today. Not only was he personable and friendly, he gave us amazing recommendations for spots to check out around town. The house keeper was phenomenal. She was on top of everything and made us feel right at home. The front staff was also stellar. They were fast, friendly and so wonderful. In fact all of the staff that we have interacted with were wonderful. Can't wait to come back!

Some of the highlights of my stay was: the view, the clean warm room and cozy bed. The welcoming and friendly staff.

Love the hotel. Trolley to the beach, excellent staff, nice pool!

Beautiful place and people are very friendly and service was great.

The service here was fantastic! All staff so friendly and accommodating! Beautiful views and clean spacious rooms! Its close enough to shops, restaurants and the beach! We will be back!

Great location great vibes
Good fantastic friendly helpful staff.

Staff is awesome. Great pool and hot tub. Fun entertainment at night. Has a coffee shop and a restaurant. Also an outdoor bar with food. Amazing views on both sides. Restaurants and stores within walking distance. Also Sand Key park which is huge right on the beach.

Staff is always helpful, respectful and goes out of their way to make sure everything perfect.

Great pool, awesome bar! love it.

Great views! convenient location.

This is the Best Hotel I’ve stayed in & for the price it’s TRULY AMAZING! I would DEFINITELY RECOMMEND this place to anyone that comes to Clearwater.

Absolutely great hotel with an excellent view from the room.

Absolutely beautiful well worth every penny spent, beautiful upscale rooms.
Customer service amazing (and. Lauren)!, valet amazing (Wilbert)! Food Service at Restarant (Caleb@Kokomo’s/poolside) on sight amazing!. You only have to book, pull up, give valet your name or room, unpack at door 🚪 with help if you need it. And all you need is here! One stop shop! And beautiful views everywhere! Pool, hot tub, all on property!

Beautiful views and welcoming staff!

Beautiful hotel, great location, nice and clean rooms and very kind staff.

Love the location and the staff was so helpful. They went above and beyond to make our stay great.

Very friendly service, very helpful. Great views beautiful hotel.

Beautiful hotel. With awesome views. Just mins from the beach.

Beautiful stay, clean areas, and great service.

Great hotel and staff. Beautiful and the beach is great.

Be forewarned! The $967.07 was already a pending charge out of my friends account, which isn't even the accurate amount b/c she had a reunion discounted rate. I paid 230.00 for charged food/drinks, they took the $967.07 pending charge out of my account also & I had no idea until I couldn't make a purchase!

Beautiful views and very nice atmosphere. The staff and everyone was awesome and sweet.

Very nice hotel good facilities great staff.

Loved staying at suites. Have a sitting and eating area and 2nd TV. The balcony view the bay and the entrance room the beach/street view. 20 min walk across the street to the beach. Breakfast staff was awesome! highly recommend.

Awesome property highly recommended.

Great place friendly staff.

The staff were amazing. There was an older gentleman who worked there and recognised our accent and said Are you Geordie's? he was stationed near where we live. So very friendly! x.

Love the hotel, have been going here for years but the last stay has left a nasty taste. Overcharged me on my credit card, over $1000 and they won’t reply to my messages, my travel agent is having to deal with it.

Great place. Very accommodating!

Great location, awesome rooms… something.

Great views wonderful area for beach activities and water activities.

Friendly, helpful staff. Rooms very comfortable and quiet. But best of all — the views!

We’ve stayed here many times. The staff is wonderful and their restaurants serve delicious food. They have recently started charging for parking. That’s the only negative. I can understand if you’re not staying at the hotel but it seems like gouging when we’re already paying to stay and eat there. The GM did waive the charge which we appreciated.

Excellent property. Very friendly and helpful concierge. I will definitely come back.

Great place to stay! The customer service is unbelievable and the rooms are nice.

Great hotel, beautiful, spacious room clean and modern, good service …

Great location newly remodeled rooms are very nice and modern great views!

Beautiful clean room. Beds are super comfy! Everything has been perfect even big towels at pools and water bottles everywhere. When we checked in hubby told front desk lady Jennifer, it was our 20 year Anniversary and they sent up a beautiful bottle of Champagne and Chocolate Strawberries for us. That was really lovely. Thank u Marriott for a wonderful stay and all the accommodations. Cant wait to come back. — Jennifer Miller.

Beautiful room! Awesome staff! Staff was very helpful and courteous!

Great staff, good food and the bartender, Rick, if he is still there, is top notch.

Been going here for over 12 years. Best bar food at Kokomo’s and the pool and waterfall are tremendous. Rooms are all suites and nicely decorated. Our go to beach hotel!

I stayed at this hotel for a friend's wedding that I was in this past weekend that was hosted at the hotel. The customer service we experienced was above and beyond. There was some wedding drama per the usual but the staff handled it perfectly and couldn't have made us feel any better! Also, the wedding coordinator Jimmy was fantastic! The shuttle driver that was supposed to take us to the beach for pictures called off or something so Jimmy stepped up and drove us, plus he got out of the van to double check we were at the correct sport before making everyone get out of the AC! I'm getting married next month in Pittsburgh and I so wish I had someone like Jimmy to help on my wedding day! You won't regret it!

Best hotel hands down. I had my wedding there this past weekend and I just couldn’t believe the effort and stride the entire staff from the bell hoppers to the housekeeping. Absolutely incredible. Jimmy the wedding planner, he def needs a raise. He was on top, he was even literally running up and down the beach to see where the photographer was. At the end of the wedding they allowed everyone in my wedding to jump in the pool with our wedding attire. I can’t thank the entire staff so much for everything they have done for us. The rooms are awesome. I have a 2 year old so the gated splash pad was perfect, they even supplied us with a crib for her. ***** hotel.

We stayed here for a wedding of our friends and the place is gorgeous! It’s clean the staff is wonderful especially Jimmy the wedding planner! What a great guy he is he did everything asked and more for my friends wedding really goes above and beyond we all loved him! The pool area was beautiful the food was good. Drinks a little pricy but that was expected. Would definitely come back!

Beautiful location but the staff was world class. We are used to 5 diamond service and the staff at this hotel is just that. There is not one person from front desk to restaurant to housekeeping that wasn’t top notch. They’re favorite saying is, “ It’s my pleasure” and they truly mean it, they all are happy with their jobs and that is a direct reflection of the stellar management. Alicia, Kelly and Melissa (I hope I remembered her name correctly) we’re above and beyond. Thanks so much guys! Can’t wait till next time.

Great location, top rooms feel like cruising. All amenities, very clean staff helpful. Wonderful pool. Easy access to clearway er with trolleybus which free with accommodation. Nice choice of restaurants. Had seriously improved since my last stay here.

We stayed here for the first time last weekend to celebrate our 10 year anniversary. From the time we arrived to the time we left everything was amazing. Every single staff member we came across went above and beyond to help and make us feel welcomed. The restaurants, rooms and pool were all awesome, we'll definitely be back!

An ok hotel that has seen some updates, but not enough attention to detail. I am usually a fan of Marriott’s “family” of hotels, but was disappointed by this one.
The pool area with waterfall was a great attraction, but the kiddie pool area was lacking. The wading pool there was constantly dirty with debris and the gate to the area (keeping young children away from the full size swimming pool area) was broken. The gate was so loose that my 15 month old was able to open it and, had I not been walking with her, she could have easily continued walking towards the main pool.
It took four requests to get a pack and play and extra blankets and pillows to the room (booking, check-in, mobile app request, follow-up visit to the front desk). While this is not necessarily entirely this establishment’s fault, it is indicative of the overall experience.
The food at the on-site restaurants was good but overpriced. The rooms were adequate. In my opinion the beds are too soft, but that is more of a preference thing than a fault of the hotel. The sleeper sofas leave a lot to be desired (old spring mattress style Vs. Newer memory foam style). Basically, a whole lot of “meh” at this hotel. A big disappointment for me and I’ll pick a different hotel should I come back to this area.

Stayed in Clearwater for the first time with some family. Absolutely loved the Marriot. They have the shuttle pick you up right in front of the resort. The view of the clear blue/green ocean from our room made our morning even better. From the beautiful pool to the bar outside. Everything was fantastic. I will be staying again.

Staff is EXTREMELY friendly and helpful. Rooms are clean and updated. The shower is awesome and comes with a detached shower head that's helpful for showering a small child. Food at the hotel is great. Love that they have Starbucks, treats and ice cream. Love the complimentary shuttle to Sand Key beach and the use of the jolly trolley for free to get around Clearwater with hotel key card. The pool is awesome and has a waterfall. Love that they gave a macaw bird, Lisa, at the hotel. I highly recommend.

The hotel staff are awesome. The Hilton Marriott is one of the best hotel in Clearwater Florida. The rooms are clean and updated, the views are spectacular. I will recommend this hotel to anyone that is looking for a decent place to stay.

The staff is the best part of this hotel. Alicia at the front desk is world class, ask for Taz at the pool bar, and Melvin is the guy you want if you’re eating breakfast. I’m a very loyal Marriott member but this hotel just wasn’t what I expect from the brand. Warning to status members, it’s a Marriott with no concierge lounge and you’ll be given breakfast vouchers for a lousy breakfast buffet instead. Overall, if you’re not eating at the pool bar, go elsewhere for food, this Marriott is truly sub standard when it comes to dining options. They’re also renovating the elevators which is a temporary inconvenince for higher floor rooms.

We stayed last minute for only one night for a beach getaway. The hotel was very impressive on first glance. It was nice to have free parking too, which seems rare for the area. We had our children with us. You can tell the hotel was recently renovated and it looks nice, but may be a little too "modern". Front door is a wide open window, and the the back balcony is also a wide open window to pool. The darkening curtains were helpful. The bathroom door is a sliding door, which you cannot lock. The showerhead is nice, but the shower doors are see through. No bathtub. The two double beds were old, must not have been replaced during the renovation. Very bouncy, noisy and one of them had a big dent in the middle. By the way, the doors to the bedroom from the living room area do not lock or close completely. I usually love Marriott, but this one may be more appropriate for couples getting away, versus families. I did feel like the room was spacious for the family though. Just wish the bathroom and bed situation was a little more family friendly. Did not get a chance to use the pool as we were visiting the beach, but it looked nice.

Comfortable and clean hotel with a very nice pool area. Perfect to go here with children. Downsides we encountered: 1. Too thin walls between rooms — you hear your neighbors. If the wall would be a little bit thinner then you probably could see them 2. A/C is to loud, running 24/7. No chance to switch it off. Even on 'OFF' the fan runs. Also when the set target temperature is reached. You always feel a 'wind' blowing around your head in the night. Front-desk argued that it's because of the humidity… Hm…

What a beautiful resort. My wife and I started here for one night, and we were very pleased. The room was very clean and very big. The shower was amazing, and the bed was extremely comfortable. This hotel has a beautiful pool with 2 waterfalls and a hot tub. I felt as though I was on a cruise while sitting out by the pool. Very peaceful. Very relaxing.

Rent your JetSki‘s or wave runners here! We hung out at the Marriott before and after renting a pair of jet skis and the place is beautiful. Every staff member greeted us and was super friendly. And the couple running the rental both were amazing… super professional and really friendly. We hung out and talked with them for a while after an hour on the bay. Also really enjoyed the pool and bar area at the Marriott… Looks like a great place to hang out.

It's Marriott what else do I need to say? Those who know? Know! You'll love it and have a great time here and in Clearwater Beach and I prefer these properties I Sand key as they're much quieter and refined than staying on the actual what I call Clearwater Beach strip. There's a lot of action and movement over there but when you want to relax away from that? Stay in Sand key, it's right over the bridge still close enough to the action with a free shuttle bus that rolls around? C'mon man.

They served an excellent Easter brunch. All different kinds of delicious food offered from the meat eater to the sushi lover to the vegetarian. I highly recommend attending their Mother's Day brunch it should prove to be just as delicious.! The staff was very kind and on top of their game too!

Great place for a weekend getaway specially for the ones who love the beach and the sea. Every room has a balcony looking over the sea, spectacular view. Can watch the beautiful sunrise from your room. Very peaceful and calm. There are plenty of places to grab anything for eat and many varieties too. Enough places to have a coffee and a warm breakfast, seated next to bay, just few minutes away from the hotel. Hotel also has a great restaurant but little expensive than the other outside restaurants. Ideal for couples who want to enjoy a peaceful weekend away from all other happenings and also for families who want to have fun at beautiful Clearwater Beach.

Big rooms, nice view, helpful staff. Located on sand key, so it's not right in the middle of the clearwater beach area. To get to town you will need to walk up and over the bridge or take the trolley. Walk next door to Maggi Mae's diner for a reasonable breakfast or lunch. Columbia restaurant is next door for a more formal dinner. Mot much else in walking distance. At least parking is free here, unlike most places in town.

Very nice hotel, located in good spot, and just short trolley ride to the Pier 60 area. Food is expensive here. And no business center with computer that can do printing out of business stuff like I have seen at Hilton properties. Missing a real business center is the reason for 4 stars, otherwise I would have given it five stars. Property is good shape and up to Marriott standards. All hotel staff are very friendly and helpful.

My first visit to Clearwater and the employees there made it amazing. Bartender Rick Willams was the best. His interaction and conversations with us and others made our stay great. The doorman Bob, what can I say he is the best. He took care of us and made us feel so welcomed. He told us about things in the hotel and around the area. He drove us to a near by beach and had a bunch of fun toys, boards and chairs to make our time on the beach great. These two employees get 5 star ratings from us.

The staff were very friendly, the room was very good, the hotel was very friendly and the rooms were very nice, 260.

Beautiful hotel, great staff, fun pool, nice cabanas by the pool, great gym, great kids activities — Kyla is great, beautiful area, easy boardwalk to other shops that connects to the hotel. Conference area is very nice. Staff did a great job. Tyler and Brendan were very helpful. Valet staff and desk staff were very helpful.

We went to watercolors restaurant New year's eve. We were extremely pleased with the chef selected special menu. We had filet which were tender and cooked to our specification. Our friend had a hot and cold water lobster which she described as perfect. Appetizers and dessert accompanied the meal. Music was from 60's. The service was excellent. It was expensive but worth it for New year's Eve. Ed.

This Marriott is absolutely amazing and the staff is WONDERFUL! Every single person was smiling and helpful. I would HIGHLY recommend this hotel to anyone. We traveled with our 1 year old and it was an excellent stay for kids as well. We will definitely be going back and would only stay at this location!

They oversold our rooms and gave us some rooms that were not according to the ones we had paid for, then the other day at breakfast we were told that the breakfasts were not included and that we had to pay them, after making several claims at last we They recognized the breakfasts but the experience was not pleasant on any of the days.

Friendly staff, good location.

Feel myself obligated to leave 5 star review to all employees of this hotel. Starting from the gentlemen greeting you outside the building to the front desk workers, as well as cleaning ladies. Our week stay there was last month & it felt like being home. Everyone was super helpful & attentive. Location wise, it couldn't be better with everything within walking distance or a short ride. Parking right next to the building, beautiful views of the bay. Balcony was a treat & sunsets & sunrises — an unexpected bonus. Took tons of pix straight from the balcony. Thanks again & hope to see you soon.

The hotel is very old but you couldn't tell. Rooms are all 2 room suites with 2 tv's. Perfect for families. Pool area was very large and very nice with a great bar. Had a bunch of Fire pits. Great views.

We stay at many hotels typically Marriott and this one is definitely is at the top our list. The rooms are spacious, the views are breadth taking and they cater to kids very well. They even treated my husband to champagne on his birthday! We can't wait to go back!

Stopped by their back bar for a beer while waiting for my haircut. The renovation is amazing and the hotel looks great with excellent service and great beer selection. Would recommend for drinks and will be recommending family to stay there when in town.

Nothing but compliments for this hotel! Everything was beyond top notch! We came down for our honeymoon, and this was by far one of the most memorable places I've ever stayed. They were helpful in food suggestions, places to see, and things to do. For our stay they even provided us two free bottles of champagne and strawberries. This place cares about its guests and it is very evident!

My girlfriend took me here for a weekend of relaxation as a birthday present. We had a great time. The rooms are very nice and have a nice view of the intercoastal. We ate at the restaurant in the lobby for dinner which was better than I expected. They knew it was my birthday a prepared me a complimentary dessert which was a nice surprise. The next day we enjoyed relaxing by the pool and having a few cocktails from the bar. It was a really great weekend.

Location is awesome! View is beautiful! Staff is excellent! Rooms are clean! Parking is great! Accessible to everything!

Could not have asked for a better hotel. The staff were absolutely amazing, friendly, courteous and eager to please. We stayed there whilst in the midst of hurricane Irma and unfortunately we had to be evacuated. The night prior to the evacuation however, all shops and restaurants were closed due to evacuation and myself, my partner and 4 children were stuck in our rooms. I asked the concierge whether they are still doing food at the in hotel restaurant (although it was 10pm), and he went to ask the cook. The cook came out and explained that he has turned on the fryers to drop me some fries for the lot of us and asked if I wanted any drinks. When I offered payment, he declined and told us he wouldn't let guests be hungry In this time of need. The concierge then gave us 4 cookies for the children too. If it wasn't for the evacuation I would have gladly stayed longer, definitely the best hotel I've stayed in, no bad words about it.

Felt very pampered. Hotel is beautifully renovated and modern. Respectful and accomodating staff. Great food at the bar by the pool and hot tub; enjoyed yucca fries with two sauces. Perfect rum runners! Easy access to towels and a beach van to take you to the beach 5 minutes away and bring you back at any time. There is a beautiful parrot named Lisa in the lobby. Don't touch and be ready for a squawk!

All the staff were very friendly and helpful. We had a clogged sink, the maintenance man arrived promptly and fixed the problem quickly. Mike the driver of the beach van is very personable and a great asset to the hotel. The pool & splash pad for the kids is fantastic. Really the only negative thing I can think of is the lack of storage / drawer space in the suites. Other than that, we had a very nice vacation and wouldn't hesitate for a minute to stay here again.

I have stayed in many many Marriotts. This is by far the best one I have ever stayed in. The rooms are amazing. The views are amazing. The service is amazing. About 250 yards from the beach. Just a short drive to shops, restaurants, and all kinds of entertainment. Spent the day on the beach, in crystal clear water. While swimming, we had a huge school of fish swarm us. Thought that was one of the coolest things I've ever seen, until the massive manatee swam within 2 ft of us. Absolutely an amazing place.

Very nice place to spend a weekend near the beach with the loved ones. Me and my husband loved every minute. Good customer service. Nice rooms with water view in both sides of the hotel, front and back. Recommend it for creating good memories.

This was absolutely one of the best hotels that I have stayed in. I had a wonderful view of the beach while looking right out of my front window and was able to catch the sun setting each evening. Sitting on the back balcony was just as wonderful because I was over looking the hotel pool and hot tub. I was also able to watch people riding their jet skis and see the big sail boats cruising past. That was all of the motivation that I needed each morning to get out and get my day started by heading down to the beach and taking a stroll along the beach. The hospitality and friendliness of the hotel staff would make me recommend this place to anyone who goes to Clearwater on vacation. I had a wonderful time and look forward to going back here again in the near future.

There only downside to the trip was check in was a little slow. Staff was friendly and quick to respond to any requests. We spent more time in the pool then at the beach but the shuttle to the beach made that trip very simple. The hotel has chairs, boogie board, buckets etc that are available with the shuttle. No need to load the car up with all that. Pool towels can be taken to the beach too. The hotel is within walking distance of a few restaurants. Once we got to sand key we never got back in our car until it was time to leave. Wi-Fi is free if you are a Marriott rewards member otherwise it costs a few bucks a day. Parking is free unless you want valet parking. Great place. We will be back.

We had our wedding at this hotel. The service is top notch and the dinning is excellent. The auto valet section is a bit understaffed at its speak hours. Rooms are very clean but some of our guest couldn't check in at 4pm as instructed do to slow house keeping staff/late checkouts. We will def stay here again.

Met with some friends at the Marriott Hotel on Sand Key… Pools where warm and clean… Facilities were well kept. Went jet skiing on Bay side! Has a blast!

This hotel did an amazing job with a friend's wedding. The staff was very professional and courteous as well as efficient. I would highly recommend this place as an idea for a reception, I was very impressed by the quality of everything!

The hotel is very nice and well built for meetings. The rooms are aging slightly, but certainly nice. The service and attitude of the staff is great. I got cookies and milk brought to my room! The food in the Watercolor restaurant is very good, but the food at the business event meals is only so-so.

While the hotel seems nice online and when you first walk in, the rooms are very outdated and 'dirty feeling'. I woke up to over 42 bites ALL OVER MY BODY. I trapped a bug I saw crawling over the bed, and looked up online to confirm it was a bedbug (their staff confirmed as well. ) After a quick search, found 2 more large adults, and a 2 exoskeletons indicating they had been there a while! During the ordeal a few staff (including management) 'slipped' and gave verbal clues that this was NOT a 1-time, isolated incident. I have had to deal with trauma of potentially transmitting, worrying about potential health complications, ruined vacation, scarring of my skin, intense itching and pain all over my body, missed work, and compounded stress. Management replaced my luggage and cleaned my clothes but otherwise were not willing to resolve the issue to my satisfaction. This was very disappointing because we spent over $20K at this hotel on this event (which I organized! ) so you would expect there to be better customer service. I will warn everyone I know of this hotel-and Marriot's lack of care for their customers.

Lovely location right across from a park with great beach access. All rooms have pretty good views because of the layout. Friendly staff as well!

Nice view of the bay. Excellent pool and services within hotel. Great choices in morning breakfast. Beach is very close.

The service was great and had many helpful people. It was so close to the beach and had a great view of the bay. The rooms were top of the line and very clean looking very classy.

The valey people last night r very nasty to drivers that r dropping off guest in the front lobby never bringing people there again the people that booked there wer scared.

Nice staff, comfortable room and a great place to attend a corporate event.

It's a wonderful place from the greeting we received when we arrived and service recd through out our stay.

Loved the location on the bay. It is very private. The room could definitely use some work but they are acceptable. Very impressed with the food and drinks. However, if you plan on a mani and pedi I strongly suggest you do that elsewhere. The actual polish turned out very pretty but they don't use the gel polish. They claim it's extended wear, it is not. The mani and pedi was VERY quick and nothing like ones I've had done anywhere. I pretty much felt like I'd walked in and only had a polish. I was extremely disappointed with that. The hair stylist however, did a wonderful job with my hair for my wedding. All in all its a pretty nice place. Just get your nails done somewhere else!

My wife and I were recently married in Sand Key and had our reception here. Everyone in the staff was extremely accommodating, professional, and pleasant. The setting is beautiful. Our guests all commented on how wonderful the food was. Our reception was completely awesome. We thoroughly enjoyed the pool and on site bar, jet skis, fitness center and hot tub. Our wedding planner Sara was amazing. She helped us every step of the way, and eased our stress tremendously. She provided us with references for a DJ, Baker, and Florist. I cannot tell you Sara how much that meant to us. All of which we used and were thrilled with their services. We highly recommend this hotel for a wedding reception, or just a vacation stay. We plan to be back often and wish we never had to leave.

Incredible views front door and back balcony! We came here on our honeymoon 10/20/13-10/26/13. We were treated like Royalty! Champagne and chocolate covered strawberries upon arrival to our room! Free vouchers for hotel breakfast our entire stay (real deal! Not cereal! Omelets and bacon, Etc made to order) Staff was Amazing! Our Honeymoon was the best time of my life and we can't say enough about this beautiful hotel and how lovely We were treated! Also the pool is Awesome! Jet ski rentals at our hotel in Tampa Bay, phenomenal steak restaurant, Watercolours, inside the hotel! Rooms were so nice and beds were so comfy! We didn't want to go back to Boston! Lol.

This hotel is in an ideal location. The property provides complimentary transportation to Sand Key Beach. The downtown Clearwater Beach Boardwalk area is only a 5min drive and easy parking is available. The hotel also sits on the bay side which provides a Cruise ship experience when in the room because the hotel is directly on the water. The rooms although older are nicely maintained and comfortable. We are Marriott Gold Members and this property surpassed our expectations. You won't be disappointed.

Stayed at hotel for a week beginning of Oct 2014. We were there for our sons wedding. The staff were great. Hotel very clean. The food for the wedding reception was excellant. The pool area was the best. Looking forward to our next visit.

Terrific location and terrific staff. When in this area, we always stay at this Marriott location. From the front desk check in to housekeeping, this hotel is great. Like the set up of the rooms, enjoyed the balcony. Will definitely stay here again.

It is beautiful and clean thanks for that natural beyesa.

My teenage daughter and I fully enjoyed our 6 day stay at Sand Key Marriott. Great fitness facility and poolside, with quick access to the less populated beach of Clearwater. Magaly faithfully cleaned our suite and the entire staff we encountered were cheerful and ready to meet our needs. The guests were entertained in the lobby by Lisa, a colorful rainforest parrot. We've planned to stay there again this summer.

Awesome hotel, very friendly staff. Loved our view from the balcony. Beach is across the street. We did not mind the short walk at all, especially given the tradeoff of free parking and no resort fee. Sand Key is great and a little calmer than Clearwater. If you want to walk to breakfast from the hotel, try Maggie Mae's on the boardwalk. It's as good as home cooked food.
