Opal Sands Resort & Spa

We visited for my husband to attend a conference… and for me to have a little vacation Absolutely stunning hotel. Each space is designed impeccably, and feels both welcoming and homey while also feeling like being surrounded by art. Every staff member was exceptional, especially Amy at the front desk who was so friendly and helpful! The location is unreal- right on the water for unimpeded sunset views, even able to see dolphins most days right beyond the pool deck. The resort has everything you need- the spa was fantastic (Tammy for massage was incredible), the poolside/oceanside Sandbar food and drinks were great, the sister hotel across the street had a coffee shop. I highly recommend this hotel, and we will definitely plan to return!

We had a wonderful stay at Opal Sands Hotel. The rooms are clean, modern, and beautifully designed, and the view is absolutely incredible. We stayed in room 512 and could hear the waves from our room, which made the experience even better. The pool was lovely and heated, which was perfect for our December visit. The beach area was also very nice, clean, and well-maintained. The staff here truly made the stay memorable. Shelby at the front desk was fantastic, and Ruby in housekeeping took great care of us. Everyone we interacted with was kind, welcoming, and attentive. We would definitely return and highly recommend Opal Sands for a relaxing and enjoyable stay.

My husband and I and our two little kids had such a wonderful stay at Opal sands. The location was beautiful--the beach was only a few steps away and so clean. The sand was so soft it felt like flour!! The pools were heated and key for swimming because it was chillier than normal. We had a king suite. The room was spacious and had all of the amenities needed for the four of us, including a crib. The drawers were stalked with extra towels and we always had toiletries replenished before returning to our room after dinner. Speaking of food, all restaurants on site were incredible!! We visited Drift, seaguini and toast. We enjoyed everything from seafood pasta, pizza, short rib and grouper. The kids loved their menu options as well. The cafe market was great for quick smoothies or bowls on the go.

Visited for a business conference. Staff was great. Food was amazing especially considering most things were served buffet style. Meats were juicy and not overcooked very surprising. Staff was friendly and rooms were really nice. Very spacious and clean. Bed slept good(when I was able to actually sleep lol). The drinks were lacking on the spiritz a bit it seemed. Would come back, price was worth it.

First time for us at an Opal Property, and we could not have been more pleased. The scale of the property, restaurant/food quality and service pool side all through our stay was terrific. We are "particular" travelers and this exceeded our expectations on all fronts. A superb location on a great beach, with lots of amenities. The property was fresh and very well maintained. Top marks given here.

⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.5/5 – Exceptional Service & Beautiful Resorts My husband and I spent five days at Opal Sands Resort, and the experience was truly beautiful. The property is stunning, the atmosphere relaxing, and the ability to visit their sister resort, Opal Sol, made the trip even better. Both locations treated us like VIPs from the moment we arrived. Most of the staff were outstanding. Vic at Opal Sands provided warm, attentive service every single day. And at Opal Sol, Kendall absolutely shined. Her beautiful smile, professionalism, and impeccable service elevated our entire stay. The only downside was our repeated interactions with a bartender named Megan at the Sand Bar and Seaguini. Her demeanor toward us felt uncomfortable. Avoiding eye contact, making faces, and generally seeming unwilling to serve us. In my opinion, she could benefit from training in implicit bias, especially given the high standard set by the rest of the team. Overall, we loved our stay at both Opal Sands and Opal Sol and would absolutely return. If you visit, ask for Vic or Kendall—they will take excellent care of you.

This is a beautiful property that manages to feel both sophisticated and incredibly welcoming. I cannot recommend it enough for anyone seeking a beach getaway. ​If you are looking for the pinnacle of relaxation on Clearwater Beach, look no further than the Opal Sands Resort & Spa. From the moment you walk through the doors, the elegant, contemporary design lets you know you’re in for a truly elevated experience. ​Unbeatable Location ​The property is perfectly situated right on the Gulf, offering a sense of privacy while still being in the heart of everything. Because of the resort's unique curved architecture, every room features a floor-to-ceiling view of the ocean. There is nothing quite like waking up to the turquoise waters or watching the sunset from your private balcony; it feels like the ocean is an extension of your living space. ​World-Class Dining & Drinks ​The culinary experience here is just as impressive as the views. ​The Food: Whether you’re grabbing fresh, coastal-inspired dishes at Sea-Guini or enjoying a casual bite by the water, the quality is top-tier. The ingredients are fresh, and the presentation is artful. ​The Drinks: The cocktails are expertly crafted—perfect for sipping poolside while you soak up the Florida sun. ​Exceptional Service ​What truly sets Opal Sands apart is the amazing wait staff.

Opal Sands and the entire staff will forever hold a special place in my husband’s and my hearts. We worked with Alexis Weisner for our wedding at Opal Sands, and she was absolutely the best. She was kind, detail-oriented, and so easy to work with, and truly helped make our wedding day beyond special. We wanted a space close to the beach and water, and Opal Sands’ lawn space was absolutely perfect. The food was top-notch and delicious, and our room for the weekend was gorgeous. It was the perfect space for getting ready, photos, and unwinding after all the celebrations. Beyond that, the Opal Sands team truly treated us like family and made sure every part of our stay, our wedding, and our guests’ experience was exceptional. We could not have made a better choice for our wedding venue. My husband and I cannot wait to come back and stay at Opal Sands again, hopefully making it a yearly tradition to remind ourselves of the perfect day we had at such a tremendous resort.
