The Marriott Resort on Sand Key is the perfect choice for a family holiday, with modern, spacious and well-equipped suites, each with a private balcony and full water views. Adults and children alike will love the grotto-style outdoor heated pool complete with 35ft cascading waterfall, open-air cabanas and spa tub. When you feel like a spot of pampering, look no further than Antonio's Salon and Day Spa, offering a variety of different treatments, all designed to leave you feeling completely rejuvenated. Better yet, all Virgin Atlantic Holidays' guests receive 20% off spa pricing. There's also a fitness centre for the health-conscious and organised entertainment to keep the kids busy at Lisa's Klubhouse... and, if you're wondering who Lisa is, she's the resident blue and gold macaw that perches in the lobby! When you're ready to eat, choose from casual poolside fare at Kokomos, a pizza to go, or for fine dining and breathtaking views, head to the Art Deco-style Watercolour Grillhouse, finishing off with a nightcap – the perfect end to a perfect day!

A negative comment, the company have recently introduced a daily " resort fee" for senseless amenities some would normaly be included eg sun lounger/parasol & Wi Fi, other activities were bicycles & paddle boarding, made our vacation more expensive.We hope return !

Our family stayed at the Clearwater Beach Sand Key Resort the week of May 8, and it was one of the best vacation experiences we've ever had. The location, the pool, the food and the amenities were fabulous, but what really made the vacation so incredible was the staff. Everyone there treated us so kindly and were extremely helpful attending to our needs. I would be remiss if I didn't thank Meli, Ruth, and Tom specifically. Meli was our housekeeper, Ruth helped us at check-in, and Tom is the manager. These three went above and beyond to ensure our stay was memorable and the first of many to come. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!

While this is not the fanciest Marriott resort, the service is top notch compared to others. From the moment we arrived, we felt welcomed by the entire staff. I would like to leave a shout out to Michael and Rob as well as the rest of the valet/bellman workers. These guys are some of the hardest working guys I’ve ever met, and they do their job with a smile on their faces. Their hard work did not go unnoticed by our extended family. Individual efforts like this go a long way in making a property stand out as exceptional.
While there were some instances of grumpy workers, this was overcome by the overwhelming level of hospitality. Even though my kids were loud and obnoxious at times, they were always treated as, well, kids. This is a very family friendly resort, so don’t be expecting a quiet romantic get away! Anyway, the kids had a blast at the beach and pool! My son was eager to color pictures of Lisa the Macaw, and the staff hung up the kids’ pictures next to her enclosure daily. This was really cool and my son was proud his art work made the cut.
Overall, the food was decent for the price. It is what would be expected for a Marriott at this level. My dad and I got the tomahawk steak for two. It could have probably fed three but we finished it. Highly recommended. It was cooked absolutely perfectly.
The cocktails were spot on. They were usually a tad stronger if you went to the bar directly rather than ordering poolside.
I really enjoyed how the rooms are laid out. As someone who is afraid of heights, I was not a huge fan of the outside entry, but definitely not a deal breaker. The rooms are spacious and I never felt cramped, even with the pull out sofa out most of our stay. The beds and the pillows are extremely comfortable. Get ready to sleep well (even with rambunctious children.)
The views are stunning. It was awesome to see giant rays and dolphins swimming in the sound. No manatees but hopefully next time!
We really enjoyed our stay here. Hopefully we will be back again!

Love this hotel! Have stayed many times. First I would like to say Meli in housekeeping is a huge asset to the Marriott, always had a smile on her face and greeted us each day with kind words, she takes much pride in her work and the people who stay there, she is a keeper! Management needs to take great care of her. Next is front desk Sophia and Jennifer were always happy to help us out anyway they could and with a smile and great attitude. Sara and Jason at the pool bar, very hard workers and very friendly, they were always on top of things. We highly recommend this hotel, if you haven’t tried it you need too. We will not stay anywhere else while we are in the area. Amenities galore and happy employees. Clean, great service, food and drinks and you can’t beat the views.
