Overall, it was a decent stay. I really liked the ocean vibe, and the staff was friendly and helpful. The amenities were sufficient and well maintained. However, the shared walls are very thin—having a neighbor watching TV loudly was a significant issue for us. The most prominent downside was the noise in the corridors, which started early in the morning and continued through noon.

The room was nice with a good view! enjoyed the balcony. The pool area was very clean. Food and drinks were good the only negative as with most pool areas is the seats get taken up rather quickly. The beach area was beautiful and not nearly as busy as the public areas. We were able to use the trolley for free to travel into Clearwater Beach. Overall, this was great area to stay in, and we very much enjoyed our vacation. Already talking about booking for next year.

This was a really great spot! It was very close to Clearwater Beach and it's amenities, but you were removed from it all at the Sheraton. The beach is enormous and has so much space. My son and I were able to play baseball catch and not be within 50 yards of the nearest people. The pool was very nice and clean and the staff was always helpful. The Mainstay Tavern on site had great food. My son, who has celiac disease, said that he had the best gluten free hamburger he has ever had. If you do want to go into Clearwater Beach, the trolley can take you right in. Beware of things being extemely busy on the weekend in Clearwater.

Overall, it was a great stay and my son said that he really wants to come back.... only longer the next time around.

It begins with the room described was not what was given. I paid a premium price for a gulf view room. I received a room with a balcony overlooking mostly a half cement wall , the window to a stairwell and a slight gulf view.
The hotel staff was very patronizing and blamed Hotels.com for not putting truthful advertising in the description.
The hotel staff was uncooperative and rude.
The housing keeping was subpar at best. There was crushed shells on the floor of the elevator for the entirety of our stay after they were made aware on the first eve of our stay.
The restaurant s on site were not good. With the exception of an incredible dessert line. The menus are sparse and so poorly cooked that a simple steak was difficult to prepare edible.
The pool and access to the beach were incredible. We returned to this hotel after being away from staying here years ago with our children. It has truly gone downhill. with being short staffed, rude staff, poor chefs and unreliable customer service. Sorely disappointed for a 41 year anniversary vaca. hotel

Enjoyed our stay at the Sheraton. Very nice hotel. Family friendly. Beach access is super nice. $30 a day for parking a rental car is outrageous. I would rather just pay extra for the hotel and have free parking. Its 45 mins from Tampa airport so with kids you pretty much need to rent a car so they back you into a corner with parking it there.

Starting with the rude lady at front desk, me & my husband entered the hotel and the front desk lady checked us in, she was not friendly neither she was very informative, she looked mad at us or something. I told my husband I am a bit scared to speak to her with question. Room & bathroom was a bit small for 4Adults & 1kid. I paid for balcony with resort view & we got a room which was outskirts, half resort view (just a building) & half nothing (with backside trees), please don’t waste money in a hope of getting a better view.

We went for yhe Sun Coast Festival. There were not enough waiters and waitress for the event. The resturant closed early due to lack of staff. Therefore, we went without eating. There was a long long line at the bar with only one bartender. I believe the hotel could use a good event planner. The room was comfortable and spacious. The listening rooms were freezing cold. The 25.00 resort fee was rip off. It was hardly a resort.

If you are looking for a very quiet relaxing weekend with nothing but laying at the beach or pool this is a fantastic hotel. The staff was wonderful especially the gentleman out by the pool. The bed was comfortable and the hotel was very clean. The gym is amazing!!!
There is absolutely nothing to do close by and no real stores near the hotel either. We did not eat at the restaurant there but ate at water colors across the street and it was fantastic as was the breakfast diner down the street. Other than that and a pizza place no real restaurants close either.
Our balcony looked out at the top of the building so nothing special there but the description never said it had a great view just that it had balcony. My biggest thing was the bathroom was SUPER tiny and no microwave. The shower was large great water pressure and shower heads. But unless someone was in the shower two people cannot be in the bathroom without bumping into each other.
This was a last minute get away for my husband and I. IF go to Clearwater again, which I don’t feel I will, this is great place to stay as far as comfort and cleanliness. This area definitely felt like an area more retirement driven Not that I wanted a party area, but some stores and restaurants would be good to have to walk to. A car is a must if you want to do anything outside the hotel. The trolley is available though. You catch it right at the hotel The hotel is a great choice for a short weekend stay just to be

I was not offered a free breakfast-and I paid $30 for mine. Pool area was very nice but there are always splashing jumping kids in the jacuzzi which was a bummer, hard for adults to enjoy it. Room was comfortable, all service was great, parking was $25 a day which I think is ridiculous for hotels to charge. The restaurants/food was not appealing so I went across the street to eat.

My stay at The Sheraton at Sand Key was excellent! Room was super clean, comfortable beds shower was great plenty of hot water right away, full-size toiletries.
I could go on & on. The resort fee was reasonable I've paid a lot more for a lot less at other resorts.
The amenities pool, hot tub, beach, a food truck onsite etc. the trolley was a big plus with the hotel being one of their stops. We had a couple of good meals at nearby restaurants within walking distance. Will definitely be back next year!

We recently stayed at your hotel for my birthday and overall enjoyed the experience. The room was newly renovated and kept very clean, which we appreciated.

However, we were disappointed by the front desk service during our stay. On the morning of check-out, we requested a late check-out due to a nearby jet ski rental and our plans to rinse off after the activity. While we understand that extending check-out times may not always be possible, the manner in which the response was delivered affected our experience. The front desk agent ( an african american lady with a short hair - could not remember her name) expressed reluctance and conveyed the message in a way that felt unaccommodating rather than professional.

We value courteous and professional interactions with staff, and this experience unfortunately detracted from an otherwise positive stay.

We would consider returning in the future if the service environment aligns with the positive aspects we enjoyed (clean, well-appointed rooms) and a more consistent, courteous guest experience at the front desk.

The property was recently renovated and they did an excellent job. The rooms are bright, airey and calming. Bathrooms are adequately sized. Nice new showers. The gym was also renovated and moved to a different location.
The only negative is the parking fees at $24 per day. I know all the hotels do it but SandKey Sheraton never did so it was a big change on top of the resort fee. Although that does include some extra perks. The Jolley Trolley being one of those perks is very convenient and a great alternative to having a car. The location is away from the hustle and crowds at Clearwater Beach which is nice. The pool and area is very nice and well kept. I highly recommend the resort.

I had a very disappointing stay at the Sheraton Clearwater. I left my sunglasses in the room after checkout, called right away, and even came back, but they were “nowhere to be found.” I know exactly where I left them, they didn’t just disappear.

The room was also in poor condition. The Chromecast didn’t work, and the sink was completely clogged. When the manager told us she checked the bathroom, she said, “All I saw was blue water in the sink,” which was especially frustrating. The blue water was from brushing our teeth, and it was still there because the sink wouldn’t drain.

Between the missing item, broken amenities, and unhelpful staff, I won’t be returning. Do better.
