Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

I booked this property months ago for a week long spring break training trip for a tennis team based on the physical location of the hotel. As the date got closer, I became worried with all of the reviews noting the construction going on at the property, but also was encouraged by the endless staff shoutouts. After 6 nights at this Sheraton, I do not have enough great things to say about it. Construction seems to be coming to a close as the rooms were all newly renovated (they looked brand new), the interior/exterior were spotless and freshly revamped as well. Breakfast buffet was unbelievable, one of the best I have had in a while. The property itself is amazing - a HUGE private beach with volleyball courts, soccer, cornhole, etc. The pool area was great which included a bar/restaurant, outdoor fire place, kids pool, and a large jacuzzi. My group and I have 0 complaints about how the physical property was presented. The reviews of the staff are all beyond true - they are top notch - professional, helpful, and easily go out of their way to make your stay comfortable, whether it was something as simple as heating up a sandwich or assisting with making reservations at restaurants (shoutout to Markel at the front desk). I booked the group with Dylan who probably had an average response time of less than a minute via email - truly incredible. We loved how the hotel was on the other side of the Clearwater strip - it was much more private and quiet, and only a short walk or 2 minute drive to tons of restaurants/shops/etc. I could really go on and on with how this property exceeded every expectation we had about it - everything was truly perfect. In the words of the team I brought here “Best. Hotel. Ever. Can we please come back next year.” If you’re ever going to Clearwater and need a place to stay, you would be foolish to look anywhere else. 100/10. Love it. A truly amazing experience.

Stayed here for a business meeting and found the property to be very nice. Staff shined and was friendly at every turn. Luckily we were up early for our meetings because there was tennis or pickleball court construction outside our window which began around 7 or so. If I had been up late night and wanted to sleep until 8 or 9 I would have been miffed. Make sure you know were this construction is when accepting your room.

I just want to send you a quick note that my recent visit to your property was amazing. The cleanliness and upkeep were spotless. But most importantly, the staff shined. A special shout out to Cheryl at the front desk on the overnight shift. She was so helpful and started our stay on such a positive tone. And in the restaurant we had incredible service from Diane for breakfast. So cheerful and on the ball. The pool area was well maintained and sparkled. The bartenders at the pool bar were busy but were still welcoming and professional. Everything was spot on and I usually can see a flaw here and there but not at your property.

Sheraton Sand Key in Clearwater is one of the best locations on a beach that goes for miles. The staff are friendly, helpful, and efficient - reception, dining, housekeeping. Restaurants and food service are good. Rooms are clean, bright, and well-maintained. It's a winner in every way, for a short or long visit. Particular thanks to Maikel Ibrahim at Reception; April and Connie (?), servers; and Lujliana (? spelling) in Housekeeping.

We stayed at the Sheraton Sand Key for a week in January 2024. POSITIVES: Friendly, helpful staff all over from Lauren at the front desk to Sarah at the bar to the pool staff to all of the housekeeping and maintenance staff-Wow!; (Sarah makes a great after dinner Mudslide drink.) Great view of the ocean from our room on the 7th floor; Awesome pool and beach area-easy to find an open lounge chair and the beach area was not busy and so beautiful. We walked the beach every day and there were so many shells!; We loved the location which was away from the busy Clearwater Beach but a quick 5 minute ride on the Jolley Trolley took us to Clearwater Beach and the many restaurants. The Jolley Trolley was free by showing your Sheraton room key card. (The Uber ride from the Tampa Airport was quick and only $43.) THINGS WE WOULD HAVE LIKED: Bathroom was pretty tiny but the newly remodeled room was nice.; The breakfast buffet was the same every day and for $20 we thought it could have been better.; They could use a coffee shop that makes lattes—I did walk over to the Marriott for a vanilla latte. A few more souvenirs in the little gift shop would have been nice. Overall, it was a nice place for a vacation and we certainly lucked out on the weather the week we were there.

This resort and beach was a place of great joy to me… so special that my boyfriend (now fiancé) chose this resort to stay at for our surprise “engagement” weekend. He emailed the GM about his plans to help to make it amazing and to my shock (I learned about this after our trip) nothing was done to celebrate this occasion and the property was under construction at the time. Thrilled to be engaged but so disappointed with the service I used to love here.

After reading the negative reviews due to construction, I was somewhat concerned about my choice; however, I was not disappointed in this hotel. Room was clean, location was EXCELLENT! Concerns: Doors close very loudly. Luckily, I was a parent of one of the 300 UW Marching Band students staying at the hotel and I understood the times and movement associated with the noise. How might the hotel quiet those doors so they don't slam? Mine slammed too! Location near beach is great. I know some have complained about the walk, but you are in Florida! Walking along the beach shouldn't be much different than walking to it! I liked the distance and natural environment. The beach was beautiful. I also appreciated the short drive to gas, dining, and other sites closer to Pier 60. Using my hotel card, I could have taken the trolley to this area. While I didn't, I thought it was a great amenity! Construction resumed on Tuesday after the New Year, but I really didn't notice it. As I left by 9:30.

The newly renovated rooms were very nice. We’ve been staying here for many years and is due for an upgrade and they’re doing a fabulous job. There was a little bit of noise with the ongoing construction, but it really didn’t bother us. The beach is great. the pool is nice fire pits great the outdoor bar is nicereasons we come back every year. Very relaxing day.

Top notch! Lovely staff everywhere, not crowded, wonderful food, gorgeous holiday decor and warm and welcoming. We had seen that the hotel was under construction and asked in advance what section they would be working on and booked a room away from that section. Really no noise at all, saw some construction crew but no mess or noise. We travel with ear plugs all of the time because some hotels are very noisy from the guest side or traffic or airplane noise but we didn’t even use our ear plugs this time. I don’t like crowds at all so we especially loved the fact that this hotel is away from the crowded main section of Clearwater Beach but only a quick bike ride or trolley ride if you wanted to join anything crowded like the pier. This resort was so comfortable. If we wanted food we had the choice of room service or go to restaurants on site or the 24 hour snack/grocery store on site or walk across the street to several more choices. We were able to see a gorgeous park from our balcony plus watch the beach and access directly from our hotel, free parking and amazing pool.

This hotel never fails to give us the best experience. We come to Clearwater every year and look forward to the hospitality and service we get from this hotel’s seasoned team members. Randy R at the hotel bar is a great guy and gave us a fantastic experience. We always love running into Guy at the concierge. He’s the first person you greet at the front door and the last person you see in the way out and I can’t imagine us staying at a hotel down here that doesn’t have such a hospitable person as him out front. We’ve gotten to know Jeremiah at the pool over the last couple years and really enjoy his company. Overall, it’s the people who make this the outstanding experience it is here. We look forward to staying here every year.
