Top Sand Key Hotel Reviews

Gulfview Hotel on the Beach

8/10 Good

"We were pleasantly surprised by the comfort of the room, the view of the water from our room and the cleanliness of the property. The staff were ALL very nice, helpful and welcoming. We only stayed one night but wished for more time! It is an older property, with one elevator and ice machine, but I would stay there again."

Hyatt Regency Clearwater Beach Resort and Suites

8/10 Good

"Pretty hotel with nice staff - in particular the parking valets. Pool was in the shade most of the day and the hot tub was closed due to private events being held near it. Room was spacious and comfortable. Didn’t love the beach set up. You have to rent chairs which was discounted which I appreciate but the beach was wall-to-wall cabanas making it difficult to navigate around and blocked the views of the water."
