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.

Now for yall looking for massages, this is your spot. In Tampa of course lol I booked a 90 minute couples massage for my ladies birthday. They absolutely nailed it. Upon entry we were greated with strawberry water (better than I describe) and another hot drink that was also pretty good. We had two great professionals working on our massages targeting all the areas we previously called out in the counseltation. We were comfortable, catered to, and definitely would recommend!

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.

Hilton Hibiscus Spa is my new favorite place to relax and renew. I've been a spa junkie for over a…read moredecade and I wanted to try something new - I was curious about this new spa that opened at the newly renovated Hilton last summer, so as I was checking out their website, I saw they were offering a $25 off regular price special for Vichy Shower treatments. So I signed up for the 80 min "Body Detox Scrub and Mud Wrap" and WOW! Words can not even do this experience justice. I've never experienced a Vichy Shower until now and my life will never be the same. First of all, warm-hot water from my shoulders to my feet. I think this thing had 8 shower heads. Similar to a Swiss shower but you're laying down. The table had a cushy pad and was very comfortable. My therapist soon had me in a trance with long rhythmic stokes that all flowed seamlessly with the water. First applied was a warm Floridian citrus body scrub. Head to toe, I felt like my old skin along with old news was sloughed off and washed away. Then I was painted with a delectable warm red clay to draw out any toxins or impurities and wrapped up in a Mylar while the water showered over me. During my "bake" time, I had a detailed foot scrub followed by a foot massage with the warm mud and then my toesies got wrapped up too. As if I wasn't already in a deep bliss, the hot oil scalp massage that came next just put me into some other world. When it was time for the wrap to come off, unlike being exposed to cold air like I have been in other spas, I was kept nice and warm with the rain bar water. After a thorough rinse came a full body light massage with warm Floridian oil and those heavenly hands once again did their magic. Concluding my final rinse, I was patted dry with a warm towel and light compressions which I though was a nice touch. After slipping into my plush double layered microfiber robe, I was greeted at the door with cucumber mint water, and my amazing therapist welcomed me to continue relaxing in the lounge with some hot tea and snacks, which is exactly what I did. The lounge had a row of comfy blue chaises, each pair separated by pretty curtains for privacy. Sipping on some ginger peach tea with honey pearls was the perfect transition between my heavenly treatment and the beach! Best of both worlds! Nothing but warmth and kindness from the staff here. Thank you again to Hilton Hibiscus spa, I will be sure to be 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!

We were relaxed the whole day and it was just heaven! The not so good: Whirlpool soak for 25 minutes was not great for the price. Really small in relation to the size of the room and for the cost, it was not very impressive. We had never been to this spa so we were unaware of the process after our massages. It would be helpful to have that information prior to the services. In addition, we never received our complimentary glasses of champagne. Not a deal breaker but for the price of the services it would have been nice to receive all that was included within the package.

I found this place on Yelp, and was very pleased with my hour long massage from Suzanne…read more Like the other reviewer, I was apprehensive upon arrival, given that the spa is in a run down strip mall and the storefront doesn't look very welcoming. The waiting area is also very "new-agey" and not at all modern. Fortunately, this was one of those situations where I'm glad I didn't judge the book by its cover! The massage therapy room was clean and pleasant, and Suzanne was an excellent massage therapist. She made the appropriate inquiries about my desired level of pressure and then went to work without making much small talk (which I appreciated!). She spent extra time on my back and shoulders, per my request, and was very thorough and systematic throughout the 60 minute, full body massage. Suzanne also gave me feedback after the massage on areas where she found tightness in my muscles and provided suggestions on how I can work to minimize this tension in between massages. Last but not least, the prices are great - certainly, much cheaper than the spas I visit in my hometown of San Francisco! So, if you're looking for a great massage at a great price in Clearwater Beach, I suggest giving this place a try!

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.

Our room was pretty clean when we checked in. This review is just mainly about the check in. I'm not sure if the lady that checked us in was new, but when we checked in, she didn't tell us anything. She actually looked mad we checked in. She didn't even give us the paper that other guests received that gave them information about the hotel and what perks there were. I went to the front desk to check out, and that's when I saw the paper and grabbed it. I didn't realize they had welcome drinks because the lady that checked us in, didn't even give us that.
