Top Sand Key Hotel Reviews

The Westin Tampa Bay

10/10 Excellent

"Front desk was a little rude"

Opal Sands Resort

10/10 Excellent

"Absolutely Beautiful! We had an amazing stay at Opal Sands Resort! The hotel was beautiful, clean, and in the perfect location right on Clearwater Beach. Our Gulf view was absolutely breathtaking, and watching the sunsets from the balcony was one of the highlights of our trip. 🌅🌴 The room was spacious and comfortable, the staff was friendly and helpful, and the resort had everything we needed for a relaxing beach vacation. The pool and beach access were fantastic, and having restaurants and bars right on the property was so convenient. The views, location, service, and overall atmosphere made this an unforgettable stay. We absolutely loved Opal Sands and would definitely stay here again! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️"

CW Hotel

8/10 Good

"Everyone was friendly. Great views from our room. Amazing location, walkable to pier/beach. Parking was $40 I think, reasonable for the area. Resort fee of $40, had access to pool we didn’t use. Didn’t really get any value out of resort fee. $300 security deposit seems a bit high but was removed from credit card in a couple days. Just one elevator for 8 floors so sometimes a wait/full. Would stay there again."
