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).

Booked a last minute getaway stay at the Opal Sands Resort. Booking was easy -- the front desk staff were very friendly and helpful. The rooms were very clean and had beautiful decor. The views from the balcony/room were breathtaking views of the Clearwater Beach and the Gulf of Mexico. We enjoyed our time at the pool where the staff was also very attentive and helpful. Cydney was one of our friendly pool bar waitresses who was always friendly and willing to get whatever we needed. The entire pool staff was friendly and helpful. We requested additional coffee supplies and the staff delivered right away. The valet team was friendly, helpful and efficient. We would definitely stay at the Opal Sands again. Read less

By far one of the nicest hotels I’ve stated in. I will definitely go back. Everything about the hotel and service was top notch. Guest services, the restaurants, room service , valet everyone was very professional and accommodating. I rate this hotel 10 stars. I’m so glad I stayed at opal sands. The room was beautiful and a million dollar view.

We love the door card bracelets. It is so much easier to wear the bracelet rather than carry around the door card. Only, very minor, downfall is there are no vending machines so if you want a late night snack you'll need to grab it before heading to your room for the night. Read less

Great facilities and super friendly staff. Right on the beautiful Clearwater white sand beach with plenty of good food within walking distance. They were very accommodating when our flights didn’t connect and our trip was delayed, to shift our reservation and give us a great experience. Highly recommend
