歐泊金沙飯店(Opal Sands)

As the title says, this is a great hotel. Let’s break it down by pros/cons. Pros Amazing views Comfortable beds Soft sheets / linens Decent food Great wine selection Super clean in common areas Great Spa Cons Food was a little over priced with the food meeting a solid 3.5 in my eyes. While the room was clean it did have a few small things, damage in side of bathroom base boards(missing trim), bathroom near toilet had some small wall damage. Shower could use a nice regrout as it had some discolored areas could have due to the construction. The biggest issue we ran into with the room is it must have had some old air filters in it or prior mold. Both my spouse and I were congested, her asthma was really bothering her. She needed her inhaler multiple times throughout the night. We are from Florida and we are use to SWFL / SEFL weather. I rarely get any sort of congestion but I definitely got a sinus headache the 2nd night. The food pantry, this is a joke. You get “fresh fruit” first thing in the AM on each floor but if you’re not there at the time they load it you will be stuck with green bananas and unripe oranges by 9:00 AM and breakfast granola bars. They did have unlimited bottles of water which was nice. However for the cost of the hotel they could include fresh juices and hot coffee bar(units did have Nespressos, but 2 creamers and 2 sugars per serving, coffee was very good and bold, however no tea) and make sure the pantry’s stay stocked with other items.

Always had to ask for the cleaning crew to come and clean and replace the towels. Need more options for eating. Charges you $40 per day for valet parking! Plus you give tips to the person or persons getting your car! Got very expensive . Restaurants nearby served almost the same things! Not at all impressed .

Our 25th wedding anniversary celebration turned into a disappointing experience when my boss gifted us a stay. They failed to provide the required email authorization for using the company credit card on the day, insisting on a 7-day prior notice. The money was refunded to his account, leaving us to cover the costs. To make matters worse, despite having a prior reservation for our special day, we waited for over 20 minutes to be seated. But that's not all; instead of the cozy back dining room, they seated us at a high-top table right by the noisy bar. I ordered two bottles of wine, but the waitress only poured one glass when she opened them, making the evening less enjoyable.

We enjoyed our stay at the beautiful Opal Sands Resort. We enjoyed our private balcony and the view of the gulf. We liked the variety of items available at the pantry on our floor. All of the staff team members were friendly and helpful. The pool area was very attractive, and I enjoyed the selection of music played there.

The Opal is a true gem on Clearwater Beach. The staff in all capacities, from Front Desk, Dining servers to Valet service went above and beyond to make our stay excellent.

We had an excellent and enjoyable stay at Opal Sands. Will most definitely return in the future and recommend to others

Top notch accommodations! Not much could have improved our stay. The price is premium, but the stay was premium-er.

Hotel ótimo, porém não tem acesso direto à praia.

Beautiful resort right on the ocean with a nice hot tub and heated pool. Within walking distance to multiple restaurants as well as Pier 60. Will definitely stay here again!
