    Beautiful room with full ocean view. Staff were all very pleasant and helpful. Nice amenities on each floor with bananas and Nutri-Grain bars in the mornings and cookies and nuts in the afternoon. Water and ice were always available. Tote bag was extra treat we were not expecting

    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 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

    This was the best experience we have ever had! We arrived and were amazed by the beauty building, clean and sneezing good, view of the ocean and access to the beach.When we went to check in we were told that our toom us upgraded.The room was on the 9th floor and was a big one bedroom appointment with one and a half bathroom.We went to the balcony and woooow!!! Huge area with many tables, chairs, couche and an incredible view of East,West and North.In the morning we were able to see the sunrise on East and full moon on North side, over the ocean.The weather was cloudy both nights and we weren't able to see the sunset but we saw the huge full moon on the North-East side.We ordered in room service the first morning and we were pleasantly surprised of the huge portions, the way the dishes were presented and how delicious the food and cappuccino was.Later on we had delicious drinks at the pool.They gave us towels for the beach also. The second day on the afternoon they brought free ice-cream at the pool. At the halfway on our floor there was an area with free pre packaged snacks and water.We have booked only two nights but after we saw the hotel and the room we wished we booked it for more days.The location is very convenient to shops, restaurants and live Entertainment.There was a wedding at the hotel the one night, no destructive noise or anything.On site they have a nice restaurant, poolside bar and Tiki bar. We ate breakfast at the restaurant on our second day with nice vie

    Loved the pool and view. The only thing we didn’t like was all the birds constantly swooping down and trying to steal food and were noisy. Our room was great with an awesome view from the 10th floor overlooking the beach and opal sol. The beds were comfortable and the air conditioner was quiet which we loved. The only thing missing was a lock on the bathroom door. Also loved being able to get water and ice on each floor.

    Just returned from 5 days at The Opal Sands. The resort is beautiful located right on the Gulf beach with its pure white sand and light green ocean plus a pool with many chairs and umbrellas. The inside is stunning with its decor, staff always friendly and willing to help with anything. Our room was large with living area, eating area, very well attained. Can't say enough about it, it's restaurant was also top notch. Stay here for sure!!

    Amazing hotel and experience. The rooms were clean spacious with great views, the staff was excellent and really on top of everything. The food at every restaurant that we ate at on the property was amazing. And their amenities between the pools and the fire pits and everything else was just incredible. Although they don't have a private beach, which would've been nice, there's easy access to the public beach, right next-door, which then rents umbrellas and cabanas.

    Staff was immediately so welcoming. We arrived 2 hours before checkout and they took the time to speed up the process. We told them there was no rush but 15 minutes later the room was ready. They even upgraded us to a beautiful suite. Housekeeping did a great job and were very respectful, kind, and helpful. Pool was the perfect temp and the beach is literally at the bottom of a set of stairs after the pool. The view-I was speechless. We watched dolphins from the balcony of our room in the morning! Would definitely recommend and visit again!

    Our stay at Opal Sands was excellent. The view from room was beautiful as it looked out to the ocean and the beach going to the beach was easy because you just walked down downstairs to reserve a beach chair in the morning and then you could enjoy it all day. The pool was heated and excellent shade in the morning, which was great for kids. The towel service at the pool is the best I’ve ever seen. We were able to get towels for the beach and the pool as needed. The food by the pool and the sandbar was great for lunch. We had a reservation at the restaurant and it was the best meal we had. We also walked to several other highly rated restaurants in the area and enjoyed having options. Note the beach can get crowded on busy weeks. However, everyone is very pleasant and I didn’t even feel it since the chairs create space and the safe walkin areas of the ocean extends very far.

    Harrison, who is supposedly a manager kept insisting that Expedia is a third party and having stay protection or having paid 405$ deposit carries no weight, and the several holds being put on my card in addition, some would be returned, some pending- but none could be documented so that I could sign and be clear what I am responsible for. I also have a lot of belongings and the check in valet crew were overwhelming where I felt they didn’t want me to have access to my car. The concierge/ checkin staff did not know anything about the beach policies, claiming it’s a public entity despite they advertise and market its proximity. I was delayed in arriving , I texted my concerns and I got an AI generated response, when I asked in person, the response was similar- a vague guess. The restaurant, pool, and other staff were excellent

    The room definitely we stayed in needs some TLC, the bathroom toilet paper holder kept falling off, the water pressure is nonexistent, the walls in the bathroom were very dirty. The room was comfortable overall. The property on the other hand was amazing. The views phenomenal, cannot be beat. The food was also very good.

    This was the most disappointing hotel experience I have ever had! (I am a frequent traveler). I was traveling with my family for a vacation, and we waited approximately two and a half hours to access our room due to an unresolved issue. Although the regular check-in time is 4:00 p.m., we did not receive our room until 6:30 p.m. When I asked the manager for an update, his response was unprofessional and discourteous. Additionally, when we inquired about our luggage, staff were unable to locate it. We waited an additional hour before it was returned, only to discover that it had been placed back in our vehicle without our knowledge. Overall, the hotel was poorly managed, and there were several other issues not mentioned here.

    Disappointed in the grouper meal. Filet was too thick therefore was not properly cooked at center. Very slow night for server so didn't want to complain, plus I normally don't. I have been in Florida 45 years and know when it is poorly prepared. Difficult to properly cook when too thick. Flavor was also bland. Not good black grouper for the price. Room and view were great. Normally I don't eat at hotels but I did that eve for my wife's birthday. Server was okay.

    The hotel was fine. Pretty but not the luxury experience it touts. The view is bar none, and the sound of the ocean puts a smile on your face. It’s not quiet if relaxation is what you’re after. The patrons having fun at the pool and the music are quite loud requiring you to close the door for relaxing. The housekeeping is abysmal and again as a luxury hotel not something you expect to encounter as you’d imagine at least there is a supervisor that performs checks and balances. After checking in I had to abort my shower as I looked up and noticed clumps of hair attached to two walls. There was no apology, no manager to intervene as offered when I phoned the front desk. A young maid eventually came to clean this I and I was grateful. Three days later housekeeping came by again for the first and only official visit, evidenced by the made up bed -not clean sheets-and removed used towels. However the melted soaps, empty cleanser and shampoo bottles remained not to mention the trash. We resorted to wearing flip flops due to the sand and dirt accumulating on the floor- to be expected during 4 days of use at a beachside hotel. And to top that off they while leaving everything else used behind took the shower cap and all wash cloths without replacement. Could I have again called the front desk sure, should I have to? No. Also, given the lackluster first interaction I just decided to finish the stay and seek alternate lodgings on my next visit to an otherwise beautiful location.

    Gulf view with manatee, dolphins, pleasure boats entertaining us during our stay. This resort has a pool 3ft max. depth with lounge chairs adjacent to tiki bar and to the water below the sea wall. Just you and a waterview with the spectacular west coast sunset. Music and another bar/dining area on lower deck which lead to beach and pier. Inside dining was good, wine too with another sunset view. We extended our stay another night! Didn’t want to leave this place. Mobile check out was less impressive. When we returned home, I contacted accounting and promptly was credited $$$ to my cc. Five star resort and hoping to finalize another stay soon.*****

    I found it shocking that the beach was dirty in the morning. It was like a night club was there with all the bottles and plastic. City crew was on the beach at 6am. When I left at around 9am to go back to my room at opal, the beach was clean. This is not the resorts job because at least 50 more resorts, along with bars, restaurants, and stores share that coast in the gulf. And it is at least a thousand people on the beach daily. Maybe city crew should come at night or earlier than 6 AM. I hope they figure something out. But all in all my trip, the beach and activities was a 9.9999 out of 10. Opal I am sure share responsibility, but so do the other businesses and resorts. We should all do our parts.

    Cons are the parking is pricey, the breakfast restaurant closes too early, poolside drinks were too pricey for their more frat party style (everything has a sprite top off or way too sweet) then handcrafted -lacks sophistication. Opal Sol pool drinks and bar seemed better and better food as well. I think this is a great getaway, we stayed a week, it felt like we ran out of options of new food places, things to do after about day 5. The beach parking lot has a lot of honking and occasional loud music from beach patrons. The ocean waves are not loud enough to block that noise but otherwise it is pretty and peaceful for relaxing stay. Best part of the room was the balcony- nice to sit and watch the ocean and people below. The room was the studio model and felt small after a few days. It has everything but no desk or table only the little table outside on the balcony. We really enjoyed the pelicans and sea birds soaring around the hotel beautiful. We even saw a dolphin! It was not as romantic as the Caribbean but still a nice trip.

    My friend and I really enjoyed our week long stay. We ate at both restaurants and had delicious food at each one. We were also able to explore the other end of the beach than where we’ve stayed previously and it was much quieter. It also gave us a chance to try out some new restaurants, Salty’s, Taco Bus and Ice & Cream Creamery, that were nearby. Our room had a great view of the gulf and we could see from the beach that the majority, if not all, the rooms had gulf front views. There was also a snack pantry on our floor that had small packaged snacks, fruits, and cookies, as well as ice and water. The only issue I had was the plug in by the bedside table was very loose and I thought my charger was going to come unplugged but it thankfully didn’t.

    Stay was great, however, the room appeared clean, but my daughter’s stuffy fell behind the bed and when i reached for it, it was covered in dust bunnies. The TV kept coming on by itself but was told that the tv remotes in every room were universal so it could have been a neighbor turning their TV on and it was turning ours on too. The walls are pretty thin, so i believe it. The restaurant on site (Sea-Guini) was very over priced. We ended up trying local restaurants in the area, off the resort. We enjoyed the pool and how close we were to the beach. Valet is mandatory at $40 a day. Overall, although pricey, we thoroughly enjoyed it and would recommend. The views are beautiful!

    We loved everything about the Opal Sands! The staff super friendly and attentive. The rooms were great, pool was wonderful and the food was delicious. We loved having access to the Opal Sol as well!

    I had a great stay at this hotel. The property was very clean and well-maintained. The parking was safe and conveniently located within the premises. One of the best parts was the easy access to the beach — just a short walk away. I would definitely stay here again!
