The best on the beach
The Sand pearl is the best hotel on the gulf. Everybody knows it. They have everything you need, to never leave the property. Great pool, beach, restaurant and bars. But what sets the sand pearl apart is the people that work there. Top notch all of them. When you check in, you are lucky to meet Lucy or Ari. both of those ladies will take great care of you. When you want a drink at Caretta, Kevin is your man. Izzy and Dave and Al take great care of the pool and beach, so you are set there. but lets say you are thirsty during the day, what do you do. I will say that Tates is not only a great place to eat and drink, i think that Suzie has made that into the best beach bar in Florida. The usual players behind the bar are awesome, im talking some of the best in the business like Bill, Andrew, Derek and Kenny. Of course i cant forget our little Turiah, hanging with the boys. some say she tops them. im not so sure yet. then we got the servers. Kyle, rock solid as always, and stunning calves. Cory and Josh are top notch. I was pleasantly surprised this trip by Patrick. that dude is really bringing it. and Pablo could potentially dominate. This brings me to Elaine. Elaine is known as the goat of tates. not only in serving but in talking. that girl can talk...but i digress here. my main issue now is, can you call someone the goat if they are never working the beach anymore? im not sure you can. so i just have to say if I dont see elaine on the beach the next couple of times im there, I might just bestow the goat name on someone else. I have a couple people in mind, but Elaine isnt going to give it up easily. Not sure Turiah has the biceps for it, so it might have to go to guy. Anyway, I will keep everyone posted if I have to name a new GOAT. another great time at the Pearl.

Exceptional Florida Family Friendly Beach Resort
Our family looks forward to our annual holiday trip to this Family Friendly resort. We celebrated our 13th visit during the popular Thanksgiving week/weekend. The kind Resort Team recognized our loyalty by surprising us with the recently refreshed and spacious Presidential Suite located on the 3rd floor. It was a real treat for our family to gather at the spotless, open dining and living room floor plan. Besides the modern accommodations, we love the service here. We recognize so many long term employees and they remember us as well. Those include Elaine, Kyle and Bill at the Tate Pool Bar. When placing your flag up at the pool chaise lounge chairs, servers immediately appear to take food and beverage orders. We also ate at Caretta for dinner twice and their Grand Thanksgiving Buffet. The servers names escaped us however they are polished and attentive, without lingering. The sushi bar is a fun option as well, but the meat dishes here are tasty and choice. The ladies at the Market Place located in the lobby poured our daily Starbucks coffee and smoothies with a smile. Eric the GM and Jeremy his Assistant truly run a well oiled machine, anxiously bringing us back to our Florida Family address year after year. We love this place!
