Ready to feel sand between your toes and sea salt in your hair? The Sheraton Sand Key puts you right on the shores of one of America’s best beaches, so you can be in those free-flowing waves in seconds. Take a dip in the pool overlooking the beach, and bubble away in the whirlpool. It's a great family friendly option, as kids will love having their own pool, and you can even grab some on-the-go grub, perfect for chilled-out family days. Complimentary transportation on the Jolly Trolley means you can connect to all that Clearwater Beach has to offer - water sports, playgrounds, shops and restaurants, but if you want to venture further afield it's just a short drive to Tampa.

I had the pleasure of being served by Emily during my recent visit, and she was absolutely outstanding. From the moment we sat down, Emily made us feel genuinely welcomed and well taken care of. She was attentive without being intrusive, had a great knowledge of the menu, and made sure everything came out perfectly timed.
I ordered the rigatoni, and it was delicious — but what really made the experience memorable was Emily’s warm, professional service. She checked in just the right amount, kept our drinks full, and made sure every detail was right. It’s rare to find someone who balances friendliness and professionalism so well.
Emily truly elevated the meal from great to exceptional. I’ll definitely be back — and hope to be lucky enough to have her as my server again!

One of the best

Adrion was one of the best bartenders I’ve come across I years. He is attentive. He is knowledgeable. And, he listens to what you are looking for in a drink and makes it. He’s a hard worker and fast. He truly made my stay memorable. And, he made me feel special.

I wanted to share our experience, we had our Wedding at your hotel May 17th and stay for an entire week. My first encounter was with Bill the best concierge ever. Friendly, informative, and kind.
Your outside bar staff Nate, Sasha treated us and our guests like gold the entire week. Jada in the gift shop was a delight as well.
It’s hard these days to find good employees and keep them. Your staff was professional, attentive, and generous with their time. Please extend our gratitude to them as our guests also mentioned how phenomenal they were as well.
Thanks to them we had the best wedding.
Gratefully,
Jim and Christie Holefelder

Husband on a conference, me, the wife, tagged along. While he was working, all I had to do was enjoy the resort amenities. My favorite spot was poolside enjoying the sun. The pool towels were always available and very clean and smelling clean. The treadmill was nice.
I had the housekeeping every day, and the lady was super nice, I was sorry I didn't get her name.
A couple of things I didn't enjoy were the hard water in the room bathroom and the Mainstay restaurant.
