The Hotel was Beautiful and our room was perfect for our 35th anniversary. Jordan at the front desk made us feel at Home the minute we walked through the door. He was very helpful, kind and attentive to our every need.
We will definitely be coming back to stay at Clearwater Beach Marriott Suites on Sand Key.
Many thanks again to Jordan for making our 35th Anniversary one of the BEST ever. =)
Tough to say what we loved most - the location was STUNNING.
VIEW:
Seeing Clearwater Bay out the back of the room and the Gulf of Mexico out the front of the room (water on BOTH sides) made this a unique location - island like in its views.
Nearly every morning we ate at the breakfast buffet, we saw dolphins from the restaurant, where the view was floor-to-ceiling windows.
AMENITIES:
The killer pool only lacked a water slide, but with a stone grotto, waterfall, and water polo in its place, how could anyone complain?!
The beach they bring you to is slightly more shelly than the strip directly across the street at the Sheraton, but Sheraton gave us no trouble in using their patch, as well. THIS IS POWDER-FINE SUGAR SAND.
YOU WILL LOVE IT.
STAFF/SERVICE:
With the property ON the water, but not on the beach, the staff quickly and readily shuttled us across the street to the beaches and when we called for return trips, were waiting in the parking lot before we could get from the shore to the van. On one occasion, we forgot to bring towels - Beach Buddy Mike went back to the hotel, got the towels, and HAND DELIVERED them to us on the beach. WOW. We're coming back and bringing friends!
•DO NOT fret that the property is not on the beach - it will make NO difference to you.
•DO NOT miss the ocean sunset over the gulf.
•DO NOT forget to pack ample sunscreen.
•DO NOT miss an opportunity to stay here - it was well on par with Marriott quality, service, and standards.
