The beach view was amazing! Warm waters, beautiful shells, yet soft sand on the beach. My family loved being able to pack the beach bag provided with fresh cookies and water from the floor’s pantry and go to the beach. The private balcony’s were a place for morning reads while listening to the ocean waves. The nightly turn down service was also wonderful. We ordered room service a couple times and were always impressed by how fast it arrived! The spa service at Opal Sol was not worth it alllll! Their gratuity is already factored into the service, and that is exactly how the massage therapist performed her job, as if she knew her money was coming regardless. I got a full body scrub and she never scrubbed my lower arms, feet or hands. I kept waiting and trying to trust the process, but the service never delivered. I had to repeatedly ask for more pressure for a deep pressure massage that was booked as deep tissue. That whole massage was basically a back rub with oil. The spa manager Jamie contacted me and told me she would be sending me an email with a credit to come back and receive the services again, but I never got the email or even a call back stating that my credit was available to me. For $800+ at the spa, incredibly underwhelming, and was still left disappointed because there was no follow through on correcting the services that were promised to me after the follow up. The property itself is wonderful and I’ll come back for sure, but I will not be re-booking the spa.

This Resort is excellent, Staff is wonderful, and works hard to make everyone happy !! People were using so many towels at the pool and didn’t bother themselves to move them when leaving . Staff was running to accomplish customers desires.
Service room was amazing, shampoos , lotions are a gem !!
I personally prefer buffet for breakfast .( the restaurant was too luxury especially for us coming from the pool or ocean )
Laundry room missing- it was hard to clean the bathing suits and clothes after a long day at the pool/beach and long stay ( 7 days)
Overall was Beautiful!! Thank You

Highly recommend! The room was beautiful. We loved the balcony and you could actually see dolphins every evening from our room. The pool was great and they even had a little extras along the way. I enjoyed the spa one day which was very relaxing. We also love the restaurant and the sister restaurant for breakfast was excellent, called Toast. This was a perfect location to catch the trolley and it was great walking distance for food, beach, drinks, shopping. We cannot wait to go back.

For the amount of money we paid very disappointed with the fact that there is no complimentary breakfast or coffee. There is pretty much no refrigerator (it's super tiny), no microwave, and teeny tiny bottles of soap, shampoo, and conditioner. Also they spelt like cough medicine. It was clean but wouldn't go there again. Cheaper ones have better amenities!

My family really enjoyed our stay at this beach resort. The location is great, with beautiful ocean views (saw manatee, shark, and many bird varieties from our room balcony). It had good access to a clean and active beach. The rooms were spacious, comfortable, and well maintained, making it easy to relax throughout the stay.

The staff were friendly, welcoming, and always willing to help. The resort facilities were excellent and well maintained. The food was decent with many good options within walking distance.

The hotel was beautifully decorated, our Gulf front room had stunning views and sunsets, the staff was very attentive, and our bed was the best we've ever experienced in a hotel. We enjoyed the Sandbar restaurant a couple of nights which had great food and drinks. The hotel is not beachfront as it appeared online. The only beach access is the public beach which was horribly crowded when we were there over the July 4th weekend (no surprise). We couldn't even enjoy the beach during our visit. The hotel pool was terrible as well. It felt more like spring break in Panama City. There were unattended children and drunk adults. Adults yelling and partying, eating food in the pool...it was just ridiculous for what we thought was an upscale resort. We also had terrible noise issues in our room. We could hear everything all hours of the day and night. Above us, they were moving furniture and we were getting their trash on our balcony. Beside us, we could hear every word they were saying. We were near a starewell and every time the door shut, it shuttered our whole entire room and made it sound like our door slammed. I would absolutely except better structure and noise control at such an expense hotel. We've stayed at hotels chains that are $150 a night and never heard any noise. Sadly, as beautiful as Opal Sands is, we will not be back and cannot recommend. I have seen a lot of amazing reviews so hopefully this was just a busy weekend and we just had an unfortunate stay.

We visit Opal Sand Resort every two years with our family and every time we are amazed. Rooms are in a very good condition, food and pool are amazing but over everything the staff is truly one of a kind especially staff that works at the bar where the pool is constantly checking if anyone needs anything, drinks are always on time and food. When they see that it’s very hot they offer ice creams for free, ice water and on top
Of everything the beach water was so so clean I have never seen it this clean before!

The Opal Sands is a gorgeous hotel with impeccable customer service. I received text messages while on site from staff asking how my stay was and if there was anything they could do to make it better. The pool provides a front row view of the gulf and we saw dolphins and manatees right from our pool lounger! The food was delicious and very reasonably priced. My son loved the fitness center, too. We both enjoyed the balcony with comfortable hairs that allowed us to leisurely watch the boats at sunset. This is the best hotel on the beach’

The resort is beautiful inside and out. The room was clean, the views were spectacular. The staff was very friendly and helpful. We used the pool but did not use the hot tub. The pool area was nice but it was crowded and could have been bigger. We loved the closeness and was of getting to the beach. The rooms got a little warm even with the curtains closed and we weren’t able to get it to cool down as much as we wanted. We wish there was a full length mirror in the room. I loved the resort and would stay there again.

The Opal hotels on Clearwater Beach are priced at the medium-high level but really not worth the money. There are not enough staff at the outside bars so the wait for a drink is excessively long. Bar staff are unwelcoming and appear disinterested. Not enough housekeeping staff either so one day our room wasn't cleaned until 5pm. The spa staff in Opal Sol are totally incompetent and I won't bore readers with that whole mess. The hotel is supposedly new, yet our balcony furniture was dirty and chipped, the room furniture looked cheap and was scuffed and a lot of the general hotel amenities were poor. The one good thing was some of the food (although the menus in Drift and Seaguine have many of the same items) and room service was very quick and good. Overall, cost is way too much for what you get so we won't be back.

I usually stay at Hyatt when I do my staycation in clw beach and this time I decided to go to the opal sands

Great choice. The layout of the property , the view from my room(1008)
The free upgrade from ocean view to ocean front for using Expedia. The bar at the pool has an attentive girl running drinks, there’s another bar right at the end of the beach called the sandbar and it’s great. I highly suggest getting your drinks from Keith if you wanna stretch your dollars on drinks, he poured up twice as strong shots as the others and called it a Florida shot. Loved that. The burger was great they had a gluten free bun and it came with cheese and bacon and fries included. Drinks were like 12 bucks. DURING THE DAY AT THE POOL THEY RANDOMLY COME OUT WITH ICE CREAM SANDWICHES, Klondike bars , nutty buddy’s free. The halls are stocked with bottles of water in a fridge for free. Free daily baked cookies on every floor. The only thing they could improve is instead of closing hot tub at 10 and opening at 7 am. Maybe do a quiet hours or open it at 5am so gym users can dip in after. That’s my
Only complaint. Better clientele of people at this hotel too. Night and day the clientele.

Lovely location.

Booked a suite with kitchenette, but it was very basic. No utensils or crockery provided.

Don’t order the pizza- we ordered from room service and it was inedible- about an inch thick with cheese and very sloppy.

Carpets and rugs were dirty in the suite, chips were left on the rug from a previous guest and weren’t vacuumed.

Lacked basic amenities for a hotel of this standard and cost.

this place is amazing and has everything you need. The only thing they do not have is onsite laundry service. You have access to Opal Sands, and Opal Sol amenities and pools. The restaurants are great and the room service as well. Each floor is provided with a pantry of cookies and snacks and bottled water in a cooler. This saved us from having to order these things to our room like we have done before at other places. The resort is right on the beach, just walk down the steps. We walked about 15k steps a day going from there to the downtown area and it gets hot so having water is important. There is a trolley in the area that runs if walking is not desired.

The room walls were very thin as we could hear people in and out and in the hallways all night long. the bathroom doors are a barn style and is very loud opening and closing and we could hear all of the rooms around us when they used their bathroom door. We slept with a sound machine on and it was not a big deal to us, but it might be for others.

For the price of our stay the floors in our hotel room were filthy.. our bathroom shower curtain had mold spots, the bathroom tub outside of the bottom had mold on the caulking. All appliances were wore down and not properly sanitized. Their hotel restaurant was extremely over priced for knock off sea food and pasta dishes that you can make better at home basically it was all frozen food and pop into the oven… again for the price of the hotel I would say this was my worst stay by far… the views were nice though!

The kids enjoyed that. There was also a connect for and cornhole next to the pool on a field. The drinks were good.

The hotel was walkable to the beach. We did not have to cross any streets. We were able to take towels from the hotel to the beach. There were third-party vendors on the beach to rent, umbrellas, chairs, or a cabana.

The restaurants were good. We enjoyed the food and drink at the restaurants. There is a bridge that connects the sister property across the street.

The hotel is walkable to Pier 60, but there are other hotels that are a little closer to Pier 60 like the Wyndham. There were also other restaurants that we could walk to.

We had a “Gulf view” but it actually overlooked the parking lot and then you could see the gulf. The beach wasn’t a private beach which I now know to look for before booking. Chairs were $50 a day so it was either pay $50 or sit on a towel. The menus at the restaurants were essentially all the same. Aside from that the kids had a great time in the pools and hot tubs and especially loved free ice cream every day
