On vacation, I don't know who to request, so I'm always in doubt of how good it will be, until I actually have the massage. I arrived on Friday at 10 in the morning to be greeted by Joseph. He checked me in, offered me a refreshment and a cookie while I waited. He was so nice. He even gave me a birthday discount when I checked out which I very much appreciate! My masseuse was Chris and she was really good! I really enjoyed it! Im bummed I didn't book a facial too. Will be back when I'm in town!

I am staying at the hotel next door but after reading reviews decided to book at Sandava Spa…read more I booked online which is super convenient. I called to confirm my appointment a few hours later since I never received a confirmation email. Turns out the email went to my spam folder. I accidentally booked for the wrong day but luckily the spa had availability on the day I needed and the time worked for my schedule. I booked the Prenatal Massage for 60 minutes. I arrived fifteen minutes early and checked in and was given a locker key. I changed into the spa robe and went to the relaxation room. It was quaint, quiet and the views from the 7th floor are impressive. Around 2:30 I was greeted by Phoenix my masseuse. She brought me to a treatment room and was very knowledgeable about prenatal massages. The entire massage was great! I feel so relaxed and pampered. Thank you Sandava Spa for a lovely afternoon.

Amazing place to get a massage…read more My husband and I were doing a staycation in Clearwater Beach. Weirdly there are a lot of spas at the beach, but none of them had online booking. I also couldn't find many (any?) that did couples massages. I was pretty late booking, so we ended up not doing a couples massage here, but they did have online booking, which makes it so easy. I was less than a week out so there weren't two massages that I could schedule at the same time, but they did have massages that were thirty minutes apart. That worked for me. It was really easy to use their website. They have a table with seating in their front area and couches in a further back seating area. When I finished my massage and waited for my husband I sat in the back seating area, which was really comfortable. I think most people wait in the front though. They have a cute boutique in the front that you can browse while you wait. My massage was amazing. She went the full amount of time and it was everything I wanted. My husband also said his massage was fantastic and that the masseuse called out places where he was tense and where pain was probably coming from. Overall, we both had very relaxing experiences. They serve tea and strawberry water, which was nice. Parking was also super simple, they had a ton around the building. If I'm in the area, I will absolutely come back.

Pallavi is a bright and relaxing oasis in the heart of the sweaty busy area of Clearwater Beach…read more What separates this spa from the others (1) bright & beachy concept with lots of windows and (2) exceptional staff. I've been to a good number of spas and most are closed off (no windows) to create a certain relaxing atmosphere which is nice for urban areas but while at the beach it is a welcomed sight to be able to see the beautiful blue skies and the white sandy beach from a cool relaxing oasis several floors above the street to keep the space free from traffic noise. My husband and I spent half the day at the spa getting facials, massages and a pedicure for me. My facial technician & pedicurist were amazing! You can have a gorgeous spa but if the technicians & products are average then the spa is only as good as your people & products. My facial technician gave me a lymphatic drainage session while 1 mask was on and an arm & hand massage while another mask was on. I've had more expensive facials that did not include those nice little luxuries. For me, I love that the waiting lounge was co-ed for couples so my husband and I could be together. This spa has a steam room and a couple of showers and that's about it so it is small but given the quality of service and products it is absolutely worth it!

At…read morefirst, the reservations team wouldn't budge--they wanted to charge us both the cancellation fee and keep the deposit. I explained we were trying to do the right thing and avoid exposing others to a contagious illness. Only after pushing back did they agree to move the reservation. But rescheduling came with a $320 price increase. I asked if anything could be done to reduce the cost, even mentioned I'm a disabled veteran--and the answer was a firm "no" across the board. We're still going to stay in September, but the whole experience has left a bad taste in our mouths. No empathy, no flexibility, no appreciation for loyalty or military service. It's not just about the money--it's the tone and lack of care that stood out. This will be our first and last stay at Opal Sands.

Stayed here over graduation weekend for my son's high school celebration and overall I'd rate it…read moreabout 3.5 stars. The hotel itself is beautiful and centrally located on Clearwater Beach with just a short walk across the street to the beach. We booked two suites , a 2 queen private rooftop terrace suite with a full kitchen and a poolside king suite with a kitchenette which were spacious and perfect for our large gathering. The rooftop terrace was definitely a highlight, and the hotel is within walking distance to restaurants, the pier, playgrounds, and shops. I also liked that the pool is on the 8th floor with a great view and access limited to hotel guests only. Pool chairs were very comfortable, towels were unlimited with no towel card system, and beach cabana/umbrella rentals were half off for guests. The hot tub being on the 16th floor separate from the pool didn't make much sense though. Room service was daily, and I appreciated being able to text the front desk instead of calling. I highly recommend using the text feature and keeping everything in writing because there were discrepancies regarding credits we were promised. There were unfortunately several maintenance and service issues during our stay. The living room TV constantly glitched and wouldn't sync properly even after maintenance attempted to fix it. More importantly, the AC completely stopped working in the rooftop terrace suite for hours while we hosted about 25 guests for the graduation party. Everyone was hot and sweaty in almost 100-degree indoor conditions. Thankfully the terrace breeze helped, but being offered only a $100 credit for such a major issue during a once-in-a-lifetime celebration felt insufficient! The parking garage situation was also frustrating. We were told our vehicles could enter and exit freely with the resort fee, but every time we tried leaving, the room keys and garage passes failed. We repeatedly went back to front desk to get new passes and had to pay $40 to exit then contact customer service afterward for refunds such a waste of vacation time Customer service overall was very hit or miss. Some employees were wonderful while others seemed miserable and unfriendly. The onsite coffee shop was particularly disappointing I'd recommend walking across the street from The front lobby to the real Starbucks instead. At times it felt like the hotel relies heavily on its excellent location and beach proximity rather than consistent service standards.Coming from previous stays at Sandpearl Resort, I personally would still choose Sandpearl for smaller family vacations. However, I will say this hotel offers more flexibility for large gatherings and easier garage access compared to Sandpearl's valet-only setup. That said, between the AC outage, power issues in BOTH suites floor 8 and 17, lukewarm water, TV problems, phone problems, garage charges, and inconsistent customer service, I would probably try another Clearwater Beach hotel next time. We still made wonderful graduation memories and the location, spacious suites, rooftop terrace, and beach convenience were definitely the highlights of our stay.

And not one spider or bug on that balcony the whole week we were there! Five stars just for that! All staff were very friendly, in fact I believe it was a manager that bought me and my husband drinks after we walked down 15 flights of stairs during a fire alarm. (I swear nobody else even heeded the alarm, we were the only one in the stairwell). We only ate breakfast in the main restaurant (which was good), but we did have room service a couple of times and enjoyed the rooftop bar, The Tropico, for food and drinks. (The kids menu burgers and fries was plenty for me!) All were good experiences. Hotel is in walking distance of so many restaurants, shops and of course, the pier. We only hung out on the beach one day with the loungers and cabana. I was a little disappointed that they weren't included in the stay. The cost was $30 per day. Otherwise I was content to hang out on the loungers at the pool. A store called Surf Style is just a couple of doors down that has besides clothing, your snacks, drinks and all the tourist goodies.
