Fodor's Expert Review Sheraton Sand Key Resort

Rooms at this modern, nine-story resort, which is set amid 10 well-manicured acres along a lovely, private stretch of beach, have excellent views of the Gulf or the nearby Sand Key Park. Most rooms also have balconies or patios. It's one of the region's top convention hotels, but its many amenities—pools, a fitness center, tennis courts—make it ideal for leisure travelers, too.
