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!

Booked several pricey spa services with a friend - we’ve both been here before - and we’re again told use of all facilities and pool area was welcome as we had several hours between treatments. Headed to the pool to relax only to be shunned and told spa guests are not “hotel” guests and unwelcome. Forced us to leave and said we could only remain in the spa area. Despite our total costs far exceeding a hotel stay. Upon returning to the spa we literally heard someone confirm a reservation on the phone being told the same - pool area included. When we challenged this they said we misunderstood the “pool area” is limited to the inside jacuzzi - which is NOT a pool and is labeled coed spa area. No other spas in the area that charge these prices exclude patrons from pool areas. Never again. Read less

We return to the SandPearl most spring breaks. Last year we were out of the country, so walking in the doors this year felt like returning to the gates of Heaven. I am pleased to say that the resort has made many updates to the rooms and bathrooms. Everything was refreshed and it is always such a nice treat to see so many familiar faces in the staff that we have come to know for a decade plus. I truly don’t have a negative thing to say. Even on the one rainy day, the staff accommodated guests with umbrellas and fresh towels if one ventured out. Truly the most wonderful experience one could hope to indulge in. We will see you next year! Read less

Nice waterfront property, the lobby has a luxurious feel. We stayed in a king partial waterfront view. The room was clean and quiet, unfortunately the other part of the partial view overlooked the dumpster area, so we did not use the balcony. Next time I would request a front view or a view overlooking the pool area. Resort is easy walking to restaurants, shopping and the pier. Although people did “save” chairs in the pool area, there were plenty of seats and the poolside service from the bar was great, we enjoyed drinks and a light lunch delivered to our chairs, the food was average. We were surprised that in addition to the $35 daily resort fee, there was an additional $30 charge if you wanted an umbrella with your beach chair. We did not eat at the main dining option, but did enjoy the staff and options at the coffee shop. Parking is valet only at $40 day, no other option. The car was always there within minutes when we requested it. Overall a relaxing resort on the water with attentive staff. Read less

Beautiful resort. Clean and family friendly. Very busy week since it’s spring break. Could use more staff by the pool for food and drinks. Flag system is sub par. Disturbing to see electrical cord in the pool while kids are swimming-pool cleaner is not always present while the battery charger is hooked up to the cord. If that charger falls… Read more
Beautiful resort. Clean and family friendly. Very busy week since it’s spring break. Could use more staff by the pool for food and drinks. Flag system is sub par. Disturbing to see electrical cord in the pool while kids are swimming-pool cleaner is not always present while the battery charger is hooked up to the cord. If that charger falls into the pool, unattended…. Fitness center has great equipment. Food quality is excellent-fresh and generous. Would definitely return. Read less

Pool was fun, only knock is the vibe was a little lacking because they had no music. Kyle the pool sever was great, you’re lucky if you get him, we had him for most of our stay. Location if hotel can’t be beat, walkable to everything and in the heart of it all. Read less
