Opal Sands Resort

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!

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

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!
