The hotel

Chic and luxury at every twist and turn, Opal Sands welcomes you with laid-back beach vibes and cool art adorning the walls. Take a dip in the zero-entry pool, complete with stunning views over the beach and private cabanas you can rent for the day. You won’t want to miss the beach’s white sands, and what could be better than sitting, cocktail in hand, with your feet in the soft powder. Taste some local seafood in the restaurant, or you could have a night in with room service. But don’t just spend your days on-land, have a go at some water sports and have fun in the sun (and sea).

Just came back from 4 days long weekend. Want to feel like you are in the carribean? Stay here. Outstanding resort. Pool outlooking over the Gulf. White sand beach that stretches for miles. Sallow walk in. No rocks. An abundance of seashells. Beach chairs and umbrellas available to rent for $35 for the day. Pool/Beachside bar had excellent drinks and food. You can catch the game. Ask for William to do a Watermelon Mojito.Chase provided an excellent recommendation for local italian spot to walk to. Ended up eating at Sea Guini ( hotel restaurant) twice. Service by Mike was incredible. Rooms with balcony overlooking ocean had two chairs and a table. Room had a sectional couch for reading. Pantry on each floor had ice, cold bottles of water, cookes (homemade) and snacks. I've learned you pay for what you get and the service from ALL staff memebers was above and beyond. Read less

My family and I stayed at this hotel in the beginning of October. A beautiful hotel where every room has a view of the Gulf. The pool area was nice and most of the staff were pretty friendly. You do share the beach with the public so get your chairs early. I don’t really have anything negative to say about our stay until check out. That’s when I found out someone had charged several drinks and food to our room. I am currently in the process of getting this matter resolved. I think this hotel needs to address their security procedures so that this doesn’t happen to other guests. Read less
