Quick Verdict: Sheraton Resort on Sand Key vs DoubleTree Beach Resort

When Sheraton Resort on Sand Key wins: Choose Sheraton Sand Key if you want more private beach acreage, more on-site restaurants and bars, larger meeting/wedding venues, and family-focused pool amenities (heated pool, children’s pool, whirlpool).

When DoubleTree Beach Resort wins: Choose DoubleTree if you want a Hilton-branded beachfront stay on North Redington Beach with a simpler, compact footprint, a single outdoor pool, an on-site ocean-view restaurant (Coconut Charlie's), and easy access to John's Pass.
