Sandpearl opens pre-Labor Day Weekend and is just what Clearwater Beach needed!

Clearwater Beach, Fl September 14,2007.

Sandpearl finally opens to the public and guests on 8/27/2007 just before Labor Day weekend. My first reaction to the Sandpearl Resort and Spa was that it exceeded my high expectations. The resort is going to do wonders to bring in a sorely needed upscale cleintele that has been lacking since the Mandalay Beach Club and Belle Harbor commuities opened in 2000 and 2004. The 253 room 4 diamond resort has all the nice touches that you would expect from an upscale Resort. I felt transported to the islands and couldn't believe that I was still in Clearwater Beach when relaxing by the beach side fire pit located just off the boardwalk near Tthe Sandpearl's Tate's Island Grill. The staff at the Sandpearl were friendly and eager to satisfy my needs and seemed very excited to be a part of such a landmark property in the Tampa Bay area. The main restaurant at the Sandpearl is Caretta on the Gulf. A world-class restaurant with a desire to please and surprise with a menu that is prepared with infusions of South American, Caribbean and other international inspirations offering a broad selection of memorable cuisine. The Ceviche and Raw Bar offers a fresh daily selection of local seafood and sushi with a wood-burning oven that opens up a myriad of rustic dining selections. A private wine room provides an intimate space for special events and tastings, with an extensive collection of wines from around the world.  Caretta's inspiring surroundings are perched two levels above the beach with indoor and outdoor seating to view brilliant sunsets and gulf views. I bought a one bedroom Penthouse suite of the top floor overlooking the Mandalay channel and I'm happy with the colors, furnishing and level of service and ammenties offer at the Sandpearl Resot and Spa. I've already had quite a response from vacationer's wishing to book the suite directly through me for an $100/night discount off the Resort's quoted rates. If you would like to stay at the Sandpearl and would like to pamper yourself by staying in a suite instead of one of the regular rooms for about the same price please visit www.Sandpearlsuite.com or call Tom Burkett directly at 727.278.8062.
