Sand Pearl Resort, LLC

What Sand Pearl Resort, LLC does

Sand Pearl Resort, LLC, doing business as Sandpearl Resort, is a luxury beachfront hotel located at 500 Mandalay Avenue on Clearwater Beach, Florida, operating 253 recently renovated guest rooms and suites with private balconies and Gulf of Mexico views. The property sits on 700 feet of private coastline adjacent to Pier 60 and benefits from the cultural draw of the nearby Coachman Park (opened June 2023). Sandpearl is one of 20+ independently owned and operated properties marketed under the Opal Collection umbrella, which is managed by Portsmouth Corporate Financial Services, Inc.; Opal and Opal Collection are registered trademarks of that parent entity. The LLC was founded in 2004.

The resort's product surface spans accommodations, two signature dining venues (Caretta on the Gulf for upscale Gulf Coast cuisine and sushi, and Tate Island Grill for casual beachfront fare), the Opal Spa, marina facilities, beach and water recreation, and over 25,000 square feet of indoor and outdoor meeting and event space. Ancillary revenue streams include spa services, recreational activities (paddle boarding, sunset cruises), gift cards and retail through PrestoStore, and group/event catering. Pricing is quote-based rather than publicly listed; promotional levers include up to 15% Florida resident discounts, a fourth-night-free package with $50 resort credit, and seasonal holiday programming such as the Mother's Day Brunch. No proprietary technology platform or mobile app is disclosed; distribution relies on the centralized Opal Collection booking engine, phone reservations, RFP forms for groups, and the SpaTime third-party spa booking system.

Go-to-market is direct-to-consumer luxury hospitality, targeting affluent leisure travelers (primary), Florida residents seeking drive-to staycations (primary), wedding and celebration hosts, and corporate meeting planners. Marketing channels include the Opal Collection website, an active Instagram account (@sandpearlresort), an email newsletter, the Opal Unpacked blog, and earned media such as the #8 ranking in Travel + Leisure's World's Best Awards 2025 (Top Resort in Florida). Partnerships with The Prisoner Wine Company (June 2025 wine-pairing dinner) and cross-promotion with the BayCare Sound concert venue extend the resort's reach beyond traditional lodging marketing.
