The hotel

Nestled on one of the island's most spectacular beaches, this secluded, world-class resort offers an eco-friendly holiday experience second to none. There's a full-service spa with a wonderful range of treatments inspired by the healing waters of the Gulf. There's also activities that focus on well-being and purity, including yoga and natural food cooking lessons with the resort chef, but if you're not up for cooking yourself, award winning Caretta on the Gulf serves up delicious food all day long.  Children will love the activities on offer at Camp Ridley, including campfire storytelling, treasure hunts, nature excursions, and arts and crafts. A great place to simply relax, Sandpearl's holistic approach to life will leave you feeling completely rejuvenated and ready to face the world again!

A beautiful resort! The room was spacious and clean with great service, including turndown. We visited the beach and rented an umbrella each day. The umbrellas were all very clean and servers were by every 10-15 minutes to take orders and deliver food and drinks. Everyone was very friendly as well.

A beautiful resort! The room was spacious and clean with great service, including turndown. We visited the beach and rented an umbrella each day. The umbrellas were all very clean and servers were by every 10-15 minutes to take orders and deliver food and drinks. Everyone was very friendly as well. The pool had plenty of chairs and was also very clean. The drinks and appetizers at Tate's were really tasty! My husband enjoyed the jalapeno margaritas and I had one of their specialty cocktails (I can't remember the name but it was vodka-based and was really nice and refreshing). We travelled with our two kids - 16 and 10 and they enjoyed it as well. Our first day, we went to Busch Gardens. Great place with some really good coasters! It's about 50 minutes from the hotel. All in all, a great time away and we highly recommend the Sandpearl! Read less

We have been staying at the Sandpearl for over 10 years, and always leave with so many great memories from our experience! The location is perfect located directly on the beach to easily go back and forth from the beach to the pool. This hotel is equally as great for adult only trips or for families as we have enjoyed both. When we come as a family the kids love the activities in the kids club, making s’mores right on the beach or playing in the sand during dinner while we sit next to them and enjoy the views. We love the nights they offer live music and relaxing around the firepit on the beach watching the sunset. The staff is amazing and always makes sure you have the absolute best service and experience. There are so many members of the team we have had great interactions with through the years, but are especially grateful for Kyle and Elaine for their hard work and attention to detail to ensure our time by the pool and beach serve as the best memories! The shuttle at the hotel is so convenient to help should you need transportation to other nearby locations. Dining on the upper balcony at Caretta for breakfast or dinner always offers great views and food! Opal Sands and Sandpearl are very close together on the beach. Both resorts are gorgeous, but we absolutely prefer the entire experience at the Sandpearl the best! Thank you to the wonderful and hardworking team at the resort that makes every visit so memorable for every person we bring to experience one of our favorite places! Read less

We have been coming to this hotel for the last 12 years, at least one trip per year. It has always been our favorite little quick get-away UNTIL NOW... They recently remodeled their rooms, which look great, but the bed is soooooooooo uncomfortable that I pulled out the sleeper sofa which was only slightly better. The beds are like slabs of concrete with a thin fluff layer on top. My back and ribs experienced a level of discomfort that you can't even get to when you are camping and sleeping on a thin mat with rocks under you. Even the new robes are terrible: who the heck wants a synthetic fleece lined robe in a tropical climate? The trim on it is incredibly rough, like a zipper. It feels great on a sunburn. We booked a two night stay, but left as soon as we could after the first night and forewent the second night. The airplane seats in coach should afford better sleep than the beds at the Sandpearl.
