Modern property with a walk-in pool, spa, and chic dining
Amazing hotel stay, our spa day was awesome, the staff was beyond attentive. The food and restaurants were too notch. And, the rod and the view you cannot beat. We travel a lot and this was a 5 star in my book. The staff is truly what hits the 5!
My stay at Opal Sands was absolutely wonderful from beginning to end. I came to Clearwater for a much-needed solo getaway, and it was exactly the peaceful reset I needed. My gulf-front room on the 14th floor had a breathtaking view—I could have happily spent the entire trip sitting on the balcony watching the water and sunsets. The resort is beautiful, exceptionally clean, and perfectly located right on the beach. I loved relaxing by the pool, enjoying drinks at the Sandbar, and dining at SeaGuini. The food and service were excellent, and every staff member I encountered was friendly and welcoming. Opal Sands felt luxurious without being stuffy, and I felt completely comfortable traveling there on my own. It was difficult to leave, and I would absolutely stay here again. If you are looking for gorgeous views, great food, wonderful service, and a truly relaxing escape, I cannot recommend Opal Sands enough!
The Opal Sands and it's sister property the Sol across the street are both excellent. We visited for the 4th of July weekend and had a great time. The property is beautiful and right on the beach. What we enjoyed were the large modern rooms, attentive staff and on-site restaurants. I would highly recommend for a family or couples getaway.
First time staying at an Opal, very chill vibe that my family enjoyed. You don’t quite get the Marriott touch but sometimes that’s ok as Marriott’s can have too many rules. Valet and bell hops were very nice, front desk was lacking professionalism and rooms were a bit dirty for $600 per night. We got the superior view one bedroom with kitchenette. The views were incredible and the guest pantry was a great touch. Next time I would get the spacious 1 bedroom since that has a tub and shower and a full sized refrigerator and bigger balcony vs we had a small balcony, no tub, and a small drawer fridge/freezer. Pool was very nice and pool staff (towel team and wait staff were top notch). Food was actually decent for a resort! Location is amazing of course close to everything under the Clearwater Sun. We saw dolphins and manatees every day from the balcony and beach. I will say every time we called asking questions we got different answers like getting a crib for the room and other amenities. I would recommend putting some good music at the pool, thankfully while we were there, another guest was playing his own music from a loud speaker which actually made everything more fun! I would stay here again, but not for what I paid this go-round as I think the areas mentioned above didn’t quite match the price tag.
My husband and I stayed 3 nights and wished we booked longer! What a beautiful hotel, perfect location and the staff were fantastic! The staff was so friendly and personable, especially everyone around the pool/bar area. They made it such a great trip. We can not wait to come back!
