Clearwater Beach Marriott Resort & Suites on Sand Key

Sand Key

10/10 Excellent

We had a fantastic stay at the Clearwater Beach Marriott Resort on Sand Key with our two teenage sons (13 and 16). The location was ideal — a touch quieter than the main Clearwater Beach strip, yet only a short Uber or trolley ride from all the action. Sand Key Beach itself was beautiful, with truly spectacular sunsets over the Gulf, and our balcony views across Clearwater Harbour were equally memorable, including some genuinely impressive lightning storms rolling in over the water in the...

Another excellent stay at Devon Shores. I’ve stayed at a few hotels on Clearwater Beach, most high end ones and since discovering Devon Shores I won’t go anywhere else. The staff, facilities and cleanliness are all fantastic. Parking is included, beach/pool towels are included, coffee/tea is included, plenty toiletries are included, even the little touches like umbrellas available if needed are super appreciated.

The hotel was lovely. Check in was quick, which was great after arriving quite late. First impression if the room was it was big and clean. The bathroom was great and the provided toilettries were superb. Both beds were extremely comfortable with plenty of pillows. Only thing that was a bit down in the room was the air conditioning unit was loud but it didn't stop us sleeping on any of the 3 nights we stayed. Breakfast in the morning was excellent, each morning there were slightly different...
